I can’t really say when exactly I started searching for God or when I discovered God. I think the search slowly crept up on me because somewhere deep inside me I wanted to know the truth about who I truly am. I started asking question. I wanted to feel fulfilled and be satisfied. I looked for a direct contact with my own true nature. It was not a conscious decision and I didn’t know where my spiritual journey will lead.

The discovery, too, dawned on me, like a slow and steady sunrise. But I know that, unlike the search, the discovery was brought about consciously, by doing spiritual practices and reading and studying spiritual writings and sacred scriptures on a regular basis.

This discovery is still taking place. The sun is still rising. Every moment is a time for discovery and everywhere is a place to reveal our true divine nature. Actually, our spiritual journey is an ongoing process of self-discovery. The search and discovery of God is the search and discovery of our self.

Actually, it is God that, through immense compassion and generous grace, chose to be revealed. To be more precise, it is God that has discovered me.

Grace is the divine generosity with which we have already been blessed. Our souls have been blessed with the ability to tell the difference between what brings us closer to and what takes us farther from understanding, knowing and ultimately realizing our own divine nature. It is grace that also makes us decide to make the necessary effort to bring more grace into our lives.

The statements for contemplation in “The Jig Is Up, God!” are themselves insights that I have gained through reading spiritual writings and sacred scriptures and contemplating our divine nature. Some statements are straightforward and hard-hitting, while others are tenuous and subtle. Others may seem strange, odd and even unconnected to self-discovery. Some will bring a smile to your face, and others may wipe that smile right off. Some of the statements may seem to contradict each other. However, this is due to the limitations of language (an issue tackled in “The Jig Is Up, God!” e-ffortbook). Nevertheless, contemplating the statements can peel away the layers that surround their meaning, reveal further insights about your self, and strengthen your awareness of your own divine nature.

“The Jig Is Up, God!” e-ffortbook contains 108 statements on which you can contemplate and expand your understanding of your own divine self. To make it real for you, I invite you to read the following three statements from the e-ffortbook “The Jig Is Up, God!” The idea is to contemplate each statement in view of the 5 principles and write down what comes to you.

My contemplation: Usually, the definition of God is associated with infinite choices, infinite possibilities. Then what is meant by “God has no choice”? Choice connotes more than one possibility or option. And if God is All and God is One, then this would mean that choice does not really exist for God. Where there is God, there is God and nothing but God. Also, God does not have any choice but to be God.

My contemplation: When people speak to one another it seems as though several different voices speak from several different bodies. In fact, only one voice speaks from one body. Creating a symphony of sounds, God’s voice speaks from God’s body. In all conversations, God is speaking to himself.

My contemplation: This statement is related to the previous example statement. Each language seems to be a separate system of words and meanings. However, all what seem to be separate languages are actually one language – a language that some of us do not understand all its words and meanings. In this spiritual context, it is not that some words have synonyms in a certain system of words and meanings, but that each meaning of a word is synonymous to other words in the single system of the only one language that really exists – the one spoken by All, by God.

The example statements given above exemplify one way to record your contemplations and insights. You can choose to write down your thoughts in a way that is unique to yourself. “The Jig Is Up, God!” e-ffortbook provides spaces for writing your contemplations and insights. You may also choose to start your own journal, which is highly recommended when traveling on any path, spiritual or otherwise.

The human body as a metaphor for God can make it easier to understand the nature of the soul in its relation to God. Let’s take a quick moment to do a simple contemplation exercise. When you want to let someone know that it is you who did or said something, you usually point to your chest and say “Me.” So, pointing to one part of your body lets it be known that you actually mean your entire body. Pointing to your chest as if saying “Me” is a symbolic gesture. This gesture comes naturally to us, since the heart of our soul is located in the center of our chest. Now point with your finger to any other part of your body. For instance, you can point to your big toe. Depending on your point of view, you can either consider that you are simply pointing to your big toe or that you are pointing to your entire body. Since, just like your chest, your big toe is a part of your body, then pointing to your big toe means that you are pointing to your entire body. Within the spiritual context, pointing to yourself means that you are actually pointing to God. Moreover, since “God is All,” pointing anywhere means that you are actually pointing to God.

It is my sincere wish that you will apply the powerful tool of contemplation in your spiritual journey and gain the ultimate insight to your true divine self. Remember, you are One, you are All, you are Love and you are Great!
