Multi-Sensory
You
“Authentically
empowered people forgive naturally. They forgive because they do not want to carry
the burden of not forgiving like heavy suitcases through a crowded airport.”
Gary
Zukav (Soul Stories, p. 114-115; Simon & Schuster, 2000)
Gary
Zukav, best known for his book, Seat of the Soul, has written
extensively about a new “multisensory” human being whose intuition is open to
connections not registered through the five senses. We’ve all experienced this:
someone stays on your mind for days, and when you finally call them, you discover
that a major event has happened in their lives. Or someone is troubling your
mind, so you contact them only to find out they are in the hospital. Zukav
believes we are evolving in that direction. He distinguishes between five-sensory
and multisensory people saying that in five sensory people awareness is drawn
to what is happening outside themselves, whereas multisensory people pay
attention to what is happening inside themselves.
Soul
Stories is filled with accounts of real people and their experiences with extrasensory
perception. His books have long been a source of teaching for me—from his first
one, The Dancing Wu Li Masters, which introduced the spiritual aspects
of theoretical physics, to his books on the Soul. His chapter titles
include such things as the “Earth School” and “Non-physical Teachers” and “Karma”—so
you know he’s right up my alley.
What he writes about failure
to forgive is important to me. He calls it a burden and says that one cannot be
in harmony with the universe without forgiving whoever has wronged you. Also, failure to forgive cuts us off from our own creativity, because to keep resentment
alive, we must keep fanning the flames and that saps our creative energy.
Forgiveness, harmony, and creativity go together. All are playful and
light-hearted.
Forgiveness teaches
humility, and humility makes it possible to forgive. Understanding that
everyone makes mistakes helps us to achieve that humility. In a world where
multisensory human beings thrive, everyone offers what he/she has to give, and
everyone supports everyone else. Sounds pretty perfect, doesn’t it.
In the Spirit,
Jane
