Humans are RECEPTIVE by nature. The five sense organs--eyes, ears, nose, skin, tongue--make your ENTIRE BEING alive to what's around you. Using your senses, you navigate the
day and night.
The EYE, for example, is a marvel. It
can adapt to dramatically different conditions, from the depths of
darkness to piercing sunlight.
The EAR transforms the world's sounds into nerve
impulses sent to the brain. As a result, most people can perceive a vast array of sounds from very low to very high.
SENSING is usually automatic. You don't think about it. That is, until you encounter a pleasant sensation--the feeling of a cool breeze, the sound of birds, the smell of fresh bread. Or, an unpleasant one.
St. Francis of Assisi |
Becoming CONSCIOUS of that fact is the most empowering thing you can do.
The great mystics--
Lao Tze, Hildegard von Bingen, St. Francis, St. Augustine, Joan of Arc, the Baal Shem Tov, Rumi and many others--experienced visions, sounds, words, insights. Someone or something was communicating with them. They were consciously receptive, which deepened their faith and conviction often against extreme odds. The result: their lives changed the world.
