Day 20: From spiritual to the physical - The Shift (Dyer)

     There are four shifts in one's life.  It begins with shifting from spirit to form.   Then, to ambition (ego self).  Next is to (away from ourselves and back toward where we came from).  Lastly, back to our origination or our meaning.  This meaning is a rededicating to our authentic selves.  Most people will do the first two shifts.  Leaving this earth in our ego self state.  This is what most of us see and our taught by others; that this is the goal of life to be the best in your career or the best father/mother or to have a big house.  Dyer, in The Shift wants to take us all the way from ambition to meaning in our lives; past the ego and into the meaning of our lives.
    Dyer asks the question, "Where do we come from?"  He studies quantum physics and he finds that it says that at the tiniest subatomic level; particles don't originate from particles. That matter originated from something formless.  That energy helped to produce form.  Dyer says that "We are all essentially spiritual beings having a temporary human experience. This is our essence. This is where we came from."  To know where we came from we need to become more like our spiritual nature of origin. 
     Have you ever gotten so excited about something or have felt so peaceful after a good nights sleep? You can't help but feel your spirit inside. It's beautiful and full of life; anything is possible in that moment.  I think this is a moment when we are more in tune with our spirit and ultimately our source.  He says we are what we came from.  For example, if given a piece of apple pie and asked what it tastes like, you would say that it would taste like where it came from, the apple pie.  When giving a sample of your blood to test the doctor can find what your whole body is like, because of where the blood came from, it's source.  We as spiritual humans are like our source, who is spiritual.  We as physical humans are like our source, our physical parents.

These are the questions to ask:  Am I like God now? Am I getting closer?  The closer we get to God, the more meaning we will have in our lives.  But what does that all mean and how do we get there?
