transfiguration [noun] - a change in appearance or form; a metamorphosis that exalts or glorifies
Johann Adam Schall von Bell (1 May 1591 – 15 August 1666) was a German Jesuit and astronomer, a missionary in China (where he is remembered as "Tang Ruowang") and adviser to the Shunzhi Emperor of the Qing dynasty.
Both science and mystical teaching agree that everything is energy. Including the creative approach to art and healing in various cultures and traditions.
Shamans and indigenous practitioners refer to this as shape shifting - the movement of energy at its most basic and intrinsic essence, in our blood and cells.
World religions have recorded some of this as well in their sacred scriptures. Transubstantiation is the belief that the body and blood of Christ is in the blessed wafer in the sacrament of communion.
Many sciences support transformation - genetics, statistics, economics, physics, chemistry, etc. Business, technology and entertainment certainly thrive on the transformative powers of assorted energies.
Sandra Ingerman extensively researched how ancient cultures performed miracles. Discovering that the common element in spiritual systems of alchemy and healing was this shift in state of consciousness.
Experiencing life through Spirit involves some shared elements. A shift into a state of knowing that clearly presents the change desired to have it become so. Believing without doubt for the change to occur.
Somehow the sacredness and ceremony in the process of creating magic or miracles have been buried, lost or forgotten.
Is it because we take for granted what we so easily access? Losing our awe. Or have we grown too comfortable in time and with its use? No longer attendant to how special it is. Did we disconnect from our surroundings and true nature? Unrecognized and inured.
Whatever the cause of this apathy it is time to bring back our passion - for life, our life, our world.
