Chapter 6   Realizing Our Potential

Well where is all this heading for? It is leading us to a more complete knowledge of our real makeup, so we'll readily be able to see exactly how  we can create the things we want in our life. Because if we do not know ourselves, if we do not know who we are, then how can we possibly ever expect to manifest anything?

Not knowing who we are or what we're made up of, is like getting in a car and not knowing where the controls are. How would we be hopping in a vehicle if we did not know where the gearstick or brake was located? Or where the steering wheel is? It is obvious we would not get very far.

I'm using analogies such as these for a very good reason. We learn better when we're given examples with which we can easily identify as opposed to straight theoretical knowledge. Something like a vehicle is an item we all use in our everyday life and as such is very tangible. In this way we can gain a better perspective of our reality. 

If we're exposed too soon to abstract concepts such as our other Bodies, then it is possible we might find these ideas too far fetched and lose interest. But now we're on firm footing so let us go on. Very soon it will be clear what I am getting at and we'll actually be able to picture just how our imagination can become a reality.

Let's now go back to the model of ourselves. We know that we are Soul. And also that we possess four Bodies that I have talked about. These are the Physical, Emotional, Mental and Etheric bodies. Believe it or not, these four bodies are actually our tools for our existence on Earth. 

In other words, the Creator has given us these tools so that we can obtain our freedom by  learning how to use them. Each of these bodies has its own individual set of laws and only by flowing with these Laws can we reach our unlimited potential.

And just as we need to picture a car before we can drive it, we need to build up a picture of ourselves before we can attempt to change it. This is exactly what is being done here. The important thing to remember, as mentioned before, is that 

Our true self is Spiritual in nature. We are Soul. And as Soul, that Divine spark of Creation, we have potentially all the attributes of our Creator

Now one of the qualities of the Creator of the Universe is that It must have infinite knowledge. If this is the case and we potentially have all the attributes of our Creator, then as Soul, we must also have access to infinite knowledge. Yes we are indeed unlimited in the knowledge that is available to us. And if we are unlimited, then we must be potentially free.

It's like having access to an endless warehouse. Imagine a store room which has an unlimited supply of whatever it is that we want. It is all there for our taking. All we need to know is how to open up the channels that connect us to it, so the Abundance just pours in. This is in fact our reality. 

The only reason that we do not see this, is that we may not yet fully understand who we really are. And because of this we're viewing ourselves with limited vision. In other words our Higher vision is blocked. And if this Higher vision is blocked, then we're shutting out our potential Abundance, which is in fact our birthright. 

What we must do then, is take the sleep out of our eyes. Unblock our vision and all Wisdom is available to us. This is the ultimate purpose of the book.
