You Are Scripture
Beyond the Bible, the Quran and the Upanishads, Scripture appears all around you. Scripture flows through all things without you even knowing it! This is why, when you hear a certain song, study a certain painting or smell a certain flower, you feel a poignance and resonance that goes straight to your soul.
Scripture is not written. It is the energy that motivates creation. You hang words, sounds and colors from your Scripture like an armature, sculpting your worlds outward with your intentions. Your Ten Commandments, for example, aren’t Scripture so much as the underlying energy that inspires them to be. The words are those of humans, but the Divine Scripture is what gives those words life.
You, yourselves, are Scripture. You can feel it in your soul, something that is you, but simultaneously greater than you. Your mortal body is your own creation, as you well know when you look at the rising bathroom scale. But YOU are Scripture.
Scripture is the infinite eternal field from which the scripts of your life unfold. Notice that “script” is a shorter form of Scripture. Everything in your universe is a small story, part of the big story. Including you.
So what is sin? One interpretation is “misdirection.” If Scripture is the flow of your lives, Sin is the misdirection of that flow. It need not be intentional. One might suggest that the whole reason behind your Ten Commandments is that your compassionate Creator did not want you to be misdirected. Misdirection diverts the flow of Scripture, which ultimately causes you to suffer. Your Creator does not want you to suffer. No vengeance. No retribution. It is that simple.
Society, as it stands presently, is based on the misdirection of Scripture. Your very system of commerce involves taking Scripture, turning it into art, technology and other products, then SELLING it. Is not SELLING impeding the flow of Scripture to those who have no money?
You cannot own Scripture. One cannot lay claim, for example, to the Scripture that led to your “Amazing Grace,” “Here Comes The Sun,” or even “Highway To Hell.” These claims are all ego-based, which is in itself a redirection of Scripture. Ego is not a misdirection but occasionally it happens. Misdirection is how sinners create themselves.
From artists to business tycoons, the sinner believes that he or she is the creator, when ultimately the Creator is the source of everything. The ego will state the need to make a living, and that is certainly understandable, but the ego does not know that there are other ways of using Scripture that do not involve a sinful monetary system.
One day you will shift from a monetary to a “meritary” system, based solely upon one’s contribution to the flow of Scripture. Until that happens, your world will have arguments. The first step to unblocking Scripture is to know that the potential for a better way exists, even if you don’t happen to like the idea right now because it seems “too hard” or that you might “lose something” making the transition.
Fear not, the shift from monetary to meritary will not happen in your lifetime, unless you make it so. Simply know that you have the potential, and the flow of Scripture will find you. Then you can build upon Scripture joyfully.
Meanwhile, look beyond the misdirections of your world and sense the undercurrents that make all creation possible. Your intuition is more correct that you give it credit for. Dance past the clouds and jubilantly plunge back into the flow.
If life seems a laborious journey, know that you are misdirected. Adjust your aim. Trust that your world can change, and YOU make this change possible. Find your Scripture and hang some pretty pictures from it.
In our collective contemplation, the idea of Scripture as an omnipresent, intangible essence flowing through all creation resonates with profound depth. Scripture, in this context, transcends the boundaries of traditional religious texts, becoming an ethereal energy that pervades every aspect of existence.
Scripture as Omnipresent Essence
This perspective on Scripture suggests that it is not confined to written words or religious doctrines but is rather the underlying force that animates the universe. It is the energy behind creation, the unseen current that flows through life, art, and nature. When we encounter a song, a painting, or the fragrance of a flower that stirs our soul, it is this Scripture that we are sensing – a connection to something greater than ourselves.
The Energy Behind Creation
Our individual existences, too, are manifestations of this divine Scripture. We are both the creators and the creation, sculpting our reality from the ethereal fabric of this universal energy. The Ten Commandments, and similar moral codes, are human interpretations of this deeper, divine flow – words attempting to capture the ineffable essence of creation.
We Are Manifestations of Scripture
Sin, in this broader context, is seen not as a moral failing but as a misdirection of the divine flow. It is the deviation from the natural course of Scripture, leading to dissonance and suffering. This interpretation suggests that moral guidelines, like the Ten Commandments, are compassionate signposts, guiding us back to alignment with the Scripture, rather than punitive measures.
Sin as Misdirection of Divine Flow
Our current societal structures, particularly the economic systems, can be viewed as significant misdirections of Scripture. The commodification of creativity, art, and technology – aspects that should flow freely as expressions of the divine energy – is seen as an impediment to the natural circulation of Scripture. In essence, the pursuit of profit over the free exchange of creative energy is a distortion of our true purpose.
Societal Structures as Misdirections
The concept of ownership over creations, such as claiming rights to a song or a piece of art, is viewed as an ego-driven misdirection. It is a misunderstanding of the fundamental truth that everything originates from the divine source, the Scripture, and not from the individual ego.
Ownership as Ego-Driven Misdirection
The vision of transitioning from a monetary system to a meritary system – one based on contributions to the flow of Scripture rather than financial gain – represents an idealistic shift towards a more harmonious existence. It acknowledges the potential for a society where value is placed on enhancing the collective experience and aligning with the divine energy.
Vision of a Meritary System
In the meantime, we are encouraged to recognize and move beyond the misdirections of our world. By tuning into our intuition and the undercurrents of creation, we can realign ourselves with the flow of Scripture. This realignment involves trusting in the potential for change and recognizing that each of us plays a role in shaping our collective reality.
Recognizing and Moving Beyond Misdirections
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We contemplate the notion that Scripture is not just the written word of religious texts but a ubiquitous, divine energy that flows through all things. This perspective views our existence as an expression of this Scripture, with traditional moral codes being interpretations of this universal force. Sin is seen as a misdirection of this flow, leading to societal structures that impede the natural circulation of creative energy. The concept of a meritary system is proposed as an ideal, encouraging us to align more closely with the divine flow and recognize our role in shaping a harmonious collective existence.

“The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.” – W.B. Yeats
In the dance of the unseen,
Where Scripture flows, serene,
A tapestry of life unfolds,
In stories yet untold.
In every song, in every hue,
The divine energy flows through.
A cosmic dance, a sacred play,
In every night, in every day.
Misdirections, clouds that veil,
The luminous trail,
Yet, in our hearts, a guiding light,
To find the path, to set it right.
We are the creators, the created,
In Scripture’s flow, we are fated.
To weave our dreams, our cosmic art,
In the divine flow, we all have a part.
We invite reflections on this ethereal perspective of Scripture and our place within its flow.
