Mathematics of Spirit

When Less is More

Jan 29, 2011


Welcome to OneLife Ministries, an online ministry of Brian Kenneth Wilcox Ministries and Love Light Fellowship. This site is here to lead you into a heart experience of Divine Presence, Who is Love. We recognize “that of the Sacred in each one” and celebrate the diversity of expressions of our Oneness in Grace. We are for peace and nonviolence, and equal rights and justice for all. I hope persons of varied wisdom paths will find inspiration here. Welcome!

Blessings,
Brian Kenneth Wilcox

Entering the Inner Sanctuary

Enter this sanctuary time by settling down, becoming quiet, and breathing deeply a few breaths. Remind yourself you are in the Presence of Love. This place you are entering, within, is the inner Temple. Here, you are One with Spirit and all persons, and Nature. You may use a mantra, or prayer phrase, follow the breathing in-and-out, or witness the arising and falling of all around you as the manifestation of universal-Grace. Enjoy these moments of Quiet and come out when you are ready. The following video is provided, for those who would like meditative music to accompany your Quiet contemplation:

Spiritual Teaching

There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror, and noticed she had only three hairs on her head. "Well," she said, "I think I'll braid my hair today." She did, and she had a wonderful day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror, and saw that she had only two hairs on her head. "H-M-M, " she said, "I think I'll part my hair down the middle today." She did, and she had a grand day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror, and noticed that she had only one hair on her head. "Well," she said, "today I'm going to wear my hair in a pony tail." She did, and she had a fun, fun day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror, and noticed that she did not have even one hair on her head.... "YEAH!" she exclaimed, "I don't have to fix my hair today!"

A temptation on the spiritual Way is getting attached to getting more and more "spiritual" experiences. We can grab with a spiritual gluttony. We may push for the one more spiritual high, like the Path is "All You Can Eat."

The spiritual person learns the Way is not about accumulation. Rather, as we move closer into Spirit, subtraction increases, while addition decreases. This is the paradox! In the mathematics of Spirit, more is less, less is more. To have more, we lose more.

Responding

Read and meditate on the following Scripture, Matthew 6.19-21? What is the Spirit be saying to you personally through this Jesus Teaching?

19 Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 Store up your treasures in the heavinlies, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. 21 Where your treasure is, your heart desires will be.

Feel free to submit a query. Thanks! Brian Kenneth Wilcox
