How to Seek

I am going to share something with you that has taken me a long time to learn. But if you apply it to your own daily habits and practices, your life will take off in ways that you cannot imagine.

One way to look at human beings is through what I call the four levels of power. I have continually found these four distinctions to be incredibly useful in my life. They are probably not new to most of you:

• Physical
• Mental
• Emotional
• Spiritual

These realms of power have been listed in ascending order of relative frequency, meaning that the energies associated with each level are increasingly refined, and therefore more powerful, as you go down the list.

Think of how much more powerful an atomic bomb is compared to a stick of dynamite. The atom bomb derives its power from forces that operate at the atomic level (relatively more refined). The dynamite derives its power from the molecular/chemical level of energy (relatively less refined). As another example, who makes more money? Is it the construction workers who are actually building a skyscraper or the people who envisioned the skyscraper in the first place?

This understanding of relative frequency has been absolutely huge for me. I have found that spending time and effort in developing habits and applying disciplines to these four levels of power in accordance with their relative frequencies has helped me to transform my entire life.

I emphasize working consciously on all four levels of power because of my personal experiences. For a long time, I just focused on developing the soul level of my being (the subtlest level of power yet discovered) and applied spiritual disciplines to that level of my being exclusively. I believed that that the other levels of power would soon fall into line as I worked exclusively on developing my soul.

Well, I found that (while there was a lot of truth to this belief) I had made a significant error in my interpretation of Jesus’ teaching to “seek first [God’s] kingdom…” (Matthew 6:33 NIV). For a very long time, I interpreted this to say, “seek only [God’s] kingdom…” And while I am grateful that I created such a strong soul foundation, once I started consciously incorporating disciplines related to the emotional, mental and physical realms of power, my life really took off in incredible ways. I want the same for you.

So please, please, please in your habits and disciplines give your time and attention to the development of your four realms of power in accordance to their relative frequencies! By this I mean that you more give time and focused attention to each realm of power’s relative frequency increases. Take consistent daily actions with regard to these four energies of your life, and you will see your life become a constant stream of incredible miracles!
