Cultivating Cha-Ching Moments
See life differently.
Have you ever had a cha-ching moment?
It’s when a new view of what has always been present becomes apparent.
It’s when something you have been trying to understand flashes through your thinking entirely differently, and as it does so, you “get it!”
We have all had those moments when everything lines up and clarity appears.
It is like a slot machine that guarantees a payoff if we continue to put those quarters into it.
Here, we get paid in clarity—which is much more valuable than money.
With clarity, something hidden from view just a moment before becomes visible and often reveals a form of supply needed for our daily lives.
Open A Door
We built a deck on the side of our house and installed a French door that opens onto it.
The moment we opened the hole in the wall, we could see a view that had always existed but had not been visible before.
After my dad passed away, we held a celebration of his life. The speakers were those who knew him in his field of work. They shared stories and antidotes, and we all had a new view of my dad as we listened.
A different view can occur in many ways.
But it is always a gift and one that is meant to be used. A door that no one walks through is useless.
An expanded view of someone else reveals new views of them and us and can substantially improve the quality of our lives.
A subject that deserves clarity is the concept of matter versus spirit.
The worldview is that we are material and someday we will be spiritual.
The process of how this happens doesn’t matter as much as the idea that we are one thing now but will someday become another.
This view or perception is like the wall in my house.
It doesn’t allow us to see what is on the other side.
When we define God as the man in the sky (a glorious example of this can be seen in the movie “The Invention of Lying"), we are not talking about the God that is the Infinite.
The “man in the sky” god is created from the view that we are material or human and that God is a glorified version of ourselves, made in our own image.
It’s our choice, really, which view of God we wish to accept and live with as our reality.
I choose the open-door view and the idea that we are the expressions of the Infinite, not material beings. Now. Not just in the future when we have worked through our humanness.
But we must practice to reach this cha-ching moment of clarity about ourselves and the Infinite.
One way I practice is during my walks.
As I walk, I remind myself that “everything I see is not material. It is spiritual, and since the Infinite is Spirit and One, everything I see is Infinite.”
A contemplative practice of shifting perceptions results in seeing things we never noticed or seeing them in an entirely new light.
This view sets us free to see possibilities before unseen.
With this view, the world shifts to match our perception.
We have more direct experiences that prove that our lives are the Infinite in action.
We begin to lose the desire to control what appears as material.
We let go and see the infinite power and abundance that is the truth of our essence.
To experience those cha-ching moments, we must continually put new ideas and perceptions into the machine of our daily lives and then enjoy with gratitude the moments of clarity that open up a new view of big R Reality.
That new view changes our daily lives substantially and practically.
Let’s celebrate these moments and then take that clarity and expand on it until we know and experience in every moment that glorious new view of ourselves, each other, and the Infinite and Its infinite possibilities available now.
I love that: 🤩everything thing I see is spiritual!
