The Tale Of The Clay Balls
One day a man was exploring some caves by the seashore, when in one of them he found a bag that contained a number of hardened clay balls. It was like someone had made them and then left them out in the Sun to bake. Although they didn’t look like much, the man was sufficiently intrigued to take the bag with its contents home. Strolling along the beach, he threw one clay ball after the other into the ocean as far as he could.
He was doing this without thinking about it, until he dropped one of the balls. Hitting a rock near him, it cracked open and the man saw to his astonishment that the ball contained a beautiful precious stone. Excitedly, he opened the remaining ones. Oh wonder! Each one of them contained a similar treasure. A small fortune in jewels was hidden in the remaining balls. If only he had known, he would have kept them all.
Our contact with people is similar to the man’s experience. Until we become aware of the inner life and value of all human beings, we may look at a person and even ourselves, but the only thing we can see is a physical body, unaware that this is merely an exterior vessel of clay for getting around in earthly life. It takes us a long time to realise that even those who do not look like much from the outside, in truth they are a spirit and soul that has the potential of shining forth with great beauty.
It is very foolish indeed to look at some folks as less important than those whose outside appearance is more beautiful or stylish or they are better known and wealthier than others. Such a faulty perception renders us unable to discover the treasures that may be hidden in the people we meet. The picture changes dramatically as soon as we take the time to get to know the person in front of us and perceive them the way God and the Angels do.
Viewed from the perspective of the Highest Forces of life each one of us is already perfect, i.e. whole, a shining six-pointed start whose upper and lower triangle, the higher and lower aspects of our nature, are already working together in perfect harmony. From this standpoint the clay image breaks away and our inner vision discovers the other person’s hidden gems that are sparkling and glowing in all their glory.
Wise ones never forget that at least in seed form all human beings contain every one of God’s characteristics and powers and everything that is good, right and beautiful is of God and serves our own evolutionary pathway and that of our whole world. All of us are potentially like one of the clay balls the man found, capable of developing the great treasures that for a long time have to remain hidden from our own view. Even the most menial and lowest in our midst can and will in the fullness of time bring their own inner jewels forth. Aspiring lightworkers and healers assist this process by addressing the God or Christ aspect in others because that helps it to burst forth from its inner hiding place.
The structure of clay that surrounds the Christ aspect of everyone’s nature eventually breaks through. Many times this comes about when someone hits a particularly massive rock on their journey through life, in the shape of one of those major obstacles that every human being once in a while has to encounter to help us break open. This can happen in many different ways. For some it’s depression, for others an accident or a life-threatening illness. Any of these events can represent an invaluable tool for breaking open of the protective shell that for a long time surrounds the highest, most precious and valuable part of us, the living God within.
The Age of Aquarius is the age of friendship and siblinghood with all life. That’s why ever more of us are reaching out to others in friendship and love, for example through the social media. Making friends with everybody who comes our way is easier when one reflects on humankind’s common heritage, pathway and final destination of returning into the conscious awareness of our oneness with God and our true nature, which is love. The more we approach others in the spirit of the Aquarian Age, the easier the passage through this difficult time of transformation is sure to become for us and our world.
Appreciate everything that is in your life, especially your family and friends. Everything is a gift from the Great Father/Mother of life and their only born Son/Daughter, the Christ spirit. Bearing this in mind, one realises that life is too short for anything but friendship and seeking to be a true friend to all who are in need of one. God and the Angels and Masters, our friends and helpers in the world of light are our best friends of all. From the moment of our creation they have been with us and forever they shall be. Never ask them to guide your footsteps, unless you are willing to follow the advice they are going to give you through your inner guidance and then do the walking.
