Reclaiming Divinity
|
|
|
by Rev. David Ault |
|
|
A student of mine proposed what I considered to be a spectacular idea.
He said that if an angel had come to our mothers while she was still pregnant with us and declared that the child she was about to have was to be the son or daughter of God, how would we have been treated? Differently than memory serves?
Consider the Mary and Jesus, mother and son dynamic and you begin to glimpse what he was driving at. We’re told Mary believed what the angel said and looked upon Jesus with unwavering respect and admiration. Her feedback, care and support for him could have been a crucial factor in his own remarkable faith. Anyone of us would have embraced life from an entirely different perspective if our parents were constantly telling us and the world that we were divine, sacred and holy.
Chances are that probably didn’t happen and we’ve spent great sums of our earthly years recovering from such an absence of belief.
Yes, recovering.
I feel we are a species in recovery. In varying degrees and full spectrum stories we are trying to find our way back to an angelic voice whose whispered words tell the story of our divinity. We look for that acceptance and feedback from others because our formative years were perhaps void of it. We look and we look – some changing and altering behaviors in desperate attempts of hearing it, some so distanced from any form of love and self-worth that they gave up any and all hope of ever experiencing it. Some are medicating and abusing themselves because the pain from that absence feels too much to bear.
Yet, if we are to believe that our inherent nature is the same as say, a Jesus, a Buddha or any other spiritual master then we can’t help but have our eyes and urgings towards a road of recovery – a road that will help us leave behind our diminished worthiness.
The great metaphysical mystic Thomas Troward wrote about how we all are spiritual prototypes of our own making – program in the thoughts of our damage and our prototype will reflect damage. Program in a Mother Mary form of personal feedback and our prototypes carry an expectancy of miracles, marvels and unlimited possibility.
To commit fully to our recovery one must first come in touch with the spiritual truth that recovery is actually possible. And to be really, really honest, one must come in touch with the bare bones truth that our essential self is perfect and complete as it is – it’s the illusions of fear and personal disdain that require recovery. We must sit ourselves down and examine how avoiding such a self-worth path becomes as detrimental to our existence as self-imposed starvation. If we are to believe that we are spiritual beings having a human experience, then our DNA won’t rest until we embrace our spiritual components. To breathe in and embrace the longing to experience and express divinity and joy is as natural an urging as hopping is to a kangaroo.
In other words, the urge to return “home” to who we truly are will never leave. Spiritual homesickness will forever push at our soul.
Recovery then requires surrender.
We gain light years in restoring our authentic spiritual prototype when we stop talking about and focusing on what we didn’t get. Didn’t have a mother or father who championed your God-presence? Well, it’s safe to bet, neither did our parents. Yadda, yadda, yadda. We know this already and yet we still talk about it and create bondings with others based on dysfunction rather than building relations based on the principle that we are divine beings here to bring light and love to the planet. Imagine brunch conversations where we talk only of the healing energies that we look forward to giving and allowing. Imagine talks over the phone which only involve what went right during the day. You and I have the opportunity to stop the heritage of forgetfulness and start immediately choosing a different set of beliefs and practices.
Years ago when I started letting go of my family by birth, with our own set of torturous travels of spiritual forgetfulness, I began to open to and experience a family of my own conscious making that included mother and father figures of such great depth and mentorship that I can’t imagine my life without them.
But I had to be willing to surrender any allegiance to being a victim in order to really appreciate the fruits of those created relationships.
And once we believe in our ability to recover then surrender to the process, we begin setting a course of allowing that long locked-up divine essence to have free rent within our hearts, our thoughts, our actions and our words. No longer hiding behind self-deprecating remarks or punishing habits, we start the next phase of life by welcoming any and all feedback that talks about our being the sons and daughters of God.

David Ault
Visionary Vocalist, Author & Motivational Speaker
|
 |
David Ault is highly regarded as one of the finest visionary vocalists and motivational speakers within the New Thought/transformational movement.
His focus on remembering the Divine within and reclaiming that connection has empowered hundreds of thousands on their spiritual journey. The union of David’s charismatic message and heartfelt singing has elevated him to guest speaker of choice in many nationwide churches and global organizations.
As a licensed minister and practitioner through Religious Science International, as well as author, songwriter/recording artist, David has traveled and shared his gifts for well over fifteen years.
Working closely with notables Louise Hay and Marianne Williamson and sharing the stage with many cherished mentors ranging from the late Og Mandino to Dr. Barbara King, Jerald Jampolsky, Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, Father Leo Booth and Mary Manin-Morrisey, David harvested that experience and developed his own unique style of teaching. His compassionate presence, warmth and humor continue to be an unforgettable guidepost for audiences as they rediscover and reawaken to their personal magnificence.
Starting out as a professional actor and singer, David worked extensively in Broadway tour shows, film and television winning critics awards in both New York and Los Angeles.
Throughout the 1980’s, David, along with the late Jerry Florence and Keith Kimberlin made their mark in New thought history by helping pioneer an unexplored musical genre—visionary vocal music. Known as Alliance, their remarkable blend became legendary, helping establish them as one of the most successful vocal groups in the Spiritual recording field.
David continues this musical path with the release of his critically acclaimed recordings, The Healing Bridge, Travelin’ With The Angels, All Is Calm, All Is Bright, And Then It Is Morning, all distributed through his Los Angeles based organization, The Conscious Company. Now, his highly anticipated literary debut, Where Regret Cannot Find Me, is heralded as “a fresh and exciting discovery in Spiritual literature ... a work of pure heart!”
“I feel extremely blessed and grateful in following this path”, says David. “It is my ongoing intention to create a message in word and music that assists us all in reawakening to our personal magnificence!”
