Shekinah: The Universal Creative Force

Ancient teachings describe a fine, etheric substance that permeates the entire universe—an invisible, delicate force considered the formless substance of all creation. This substance, too subtle to be seen, touched, or sensed, can only be perceived through thought and shaped by the mind. It was believed that by understanding and working with this substance, one could create the ideal conditions for a fulfilling life.
Central to this concept is the Shekinah, referred to in various traditions as the Mother Principle, the Goddess, or the dwelling place of the divine. Shekinah represents the omnipresent force behind creation, described by ancient Egyptians as existing within, around, and over all things. They believed it infused everything, from physical objects to the human mind itself. This glittering "spirit stuff" was thought to respond to our thoughts and words, shaping the world around us according to the energy we project.
The power of this invisible substance lies in its ability to align life with good. The ancient mages learned that by understanding its nature, they could shape their lives to experience only positive outcomes. Anything not good, they believed, was merely a shadow of this spiritual substance's true essence.
This knowledge was so sacred that it was guarded closely by the Egyptian elite. They feared that sharing these teachings openly might lead ordinary individuals to see themselves as equals to the gods. As a result, the teachings of Shekinah were kept a mystery, documented in what later became known as the Book of the Dead. This book, buried with the deceased, contained profound spiritual insights, including the declaration "I am the I am." This phrase, echoed by figures like Moses, reflects the belief that humans are an extension of the divine—capable of creation, transformation, and alignment with the universal force.
The concept of Shekinah prompts us to consider how our thoughts and words impact the world around us. By choosing clear intentions and focusing on what we wish to create, we harness this ancient creative force, shaping a reality that reflects the good inherent in the universe.
The Power of Acknowledging Your Good
Ancient priests often kept spiritual knowledge to themselves, believing that the divine power animating the universe was a secret for the initiated few, not for ordinary people. They taught that this life-giving force was reserved for figures like Osiris and Isis, or even for mummies, but not for the living masses. However, figures like Moses demonstrated a different path. He was said to perform miracles by understanding and declaring that this divine presence, or Shekinah, fills all things and is ready to respond to the commands of our words.
At the core of this ancient wisdom is a belief that everything holds purpose and potential, and that there is good available to each of us. This goodness is omnipresent and all-knowing, ensuring that we can access what is rightfully ours. This conviction is powerful because it is unbreakable; even when circumstances change, the faith in our underlying good can remain constant. What cannot be defeated possesses absolute power.
This fundamental truth exists within each of us, regardless of our religious beliefs or lack thereof. We can choose to let this intrinsic sense of goodness guide our actions and aspirations. Across all cultures and languages, the concept of a higher power is deeply connected to the idea of goodness. As the New Testament states, "None is good, save one, that is, God." If this universal goodness permeates all existence, it stands as the sole, unchallenged force in the universe—omnipotent and absolute. The goodness intended for you, then, is your God.
So, why haven't you fully realized the good intended for you? Perhaps, like the ancient Egyptians who thought divine knowledge was only for the dead, you believe that goodness is for someone else, or for another time. But the truth is that all good is for the living, here and now.
Speaking your truth from the heart is the first step to making this goodness appear in your life. If you've been holding back from boldly expressing your deepest desires, you've overlooked the key to claiming your birthright. To accelerate your ability to manifest the good you deserve, start by affirming this simple truth: "The good meant for me is mine, and I can have it." This declaration is the foundation for overcoming any challenge and achieving satisfaction in every part of your life.
Claiming the Good You Deserve
In magic, we learn a fundamental lesson: our perception shapes our reality. Everything we experience—what we see, hear, taste, smell, and feel—is filtered through our state of mind, which is created by our thoughts. The life you have today is a direct result of your past thoughts. The magical principle is simple: our thoughts create who we become.
If the good you deserve hasn't appeared in your life, it's possibly because you haven't truly claimed it. You need to declare with conviction: "The good meant for me is mine, and I can have it." Say this out loud and feel the power in the word "good." This simple act forces you to identify what your good is and where to find it. As you focus on this, new opportunities for a more fulfilling life will begin to emerge.
Those who confidently express that they deserve good things are often blessed with them. In contrast, if you constantly talk about how difficult your life is, you are more likely to experience that reality. When we affirm, "The good meant for me is mine, and I can have it," we acknowledge that goodness is always present. It lives within us as an eternal part of our being. By accepting this as truth, we can build a powerful, happy, and prosperous life.
Good health, wisdom, and prosperity are your divine inheritance. Truth and goodness are deeply interconnected; anything that fosters health, wisdom, and prosperity is inherently both true and good. As Plato proclaimed, "God is truth." If this holds, and the name for God is "I Am," then declaring "I am truth" is a powerful affirmation of this divine connection. Claiming what is rightfully yours is not only an act of self-empowerment but also a way of honoring that truth. Likewise, God is love, for to love what is truly right for you is an expression of inherent goodness.
When you realize that love itself is good and claim it as your own, you will start to notice the love people have for you and the love you have for them. You will even feel love from the world around you. Everything is filled with love for you. By equating good with love, you connect yourself to prosperity. The friends, success, and health you desire become attainable because they are all grounded in truth. Falsehood cannot create good conditions; it can only hide them. The good that comes to you is built from the truth you think and speak. When you think and speak with truth and awareness, the good you create is lasting.
The Power of Recognizing Good as the Essence of All Things
Harnessing the power of thought and word can shape the foundation of our lives, from our relationships to our health and prosperity. The origin of these blessings lies within our own minds, built from a force that is constant, unchanging, and indestructible—and who we call Shekinah. This universal creative substance, when acknowledged with clarity and purpose, illuminates our hearts and minds with a steady, eternal presence.
The material objects around us fade and change, yet the enduring essence of good, represented by Shekinah, remains steadfast. This spiritual substance is unfailing, eternal, and deeply rooted in everything we experience. The way we direct our thoughts and faith determines how this power manifests in our lives. Recognizing that everything around us—water, minerals, plants—is an expression of good and love allows us to see the world through a lens of appreciation and clarity. Acknowledging the intrinsic goodness in all things enhances their beauty and meaning, enriching our experience.
When we begin to see others as expressions of love and good, it transforms the way we view and interact with the world. Realizing that we, too, are made of this loving, eternal substance builds compassion and connection. Everything is spirit, and spirit is good: omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient. Understanding this truth brings a profound sense of peace and a renewed perspective.
The belief that life is purely material has limited us for far too long. In truth, spirit is the only substance that sustains and surrounds us, providing us with everything we need. By recognizing this, we open ourselves up to a more profound sense satisfaction. It is through wisdom and understanding that we can address challenges, knowing that goodness fills us and supports us. Life itself is noble and beautiful, and by speaking and living in alignment with this truth, we allow its full potential to unfold before us.
The Shekinah, divine presence, will always manifest in the areas where you place your faith. It’s worth regularly asking yourself: Where am I truly focusing my faith? What you put your faith into, what you truly believe, is what grows.
Do you operate from a place of good, or do you perceive evil? Do you have trust that everything is working for your highest benefit, or do you feel external forces are standing in your way? The precise location of your faith is where Shekinah will appear. Allow this divine presence to unfold as it desires in your life, rather than restricting it with negativity or limiting views.
When you align your thoughts and words with the goodness and truth in the world, you activate the Shekinah, the divine presence, in your life. This deep understanding allows you to see the love and prosperity already around you and consciously shape your reality. It helps you turn challenges into opportunities and realize your greatest potential. Remember, where your faith lies, there the divine unfolds, bringing lasting good and deep satisfaction.
This is truly sublime and spiritually lifting. I am deeply blessed. Thank you, Ariel for all you do.
