Chocolate is pure magic. It has captivated
the vast majority of people whose lives it has touched since its
discovery. Imagine the day, thousands of years ago, the miracle of a
day when the first chocolate tree was born deep inside the mysterious
Amazon jungle! Doesn’t it make a perfect sort of sense that the most
beloved plant in the world would be born in one of the most intriguing
places in the world!?

The room
visibly rippled with excited energy at Joe Vitale’s Zero Limits Seminar
in January as bags of M n M’s inscribed with the words Zero Limits were
passed around. Dr. Len had set the room abuzz with delight as he
delivered the news that chocolate is a “cleaning” device as powerful as
saying the Ho’oponopono prayer! As we happily ate M n M’s by the
handsful, he went on about the bees; how if it weren’t for the bees
there would be no chocolate at all. They are just these little
creatures doing their small job, but without them there would be the
unthinkable, NO chocolate!

THOUSAND flowers burst out of a chocolate tree in crazy profusion
anywhere they like; but the bees only fertilize about 20 flowers that
will then grow into pods. 20 pods only contain about 300-600 beans
total, which only amounts to about 4 lbs of cacao paste. These
particular bees, Sting-less bees, appear to have a pretty relaxed work
ethic; so it’s a miracle there is as much chocolate available in the
world as there is!

The Mayan’s
believed cacao was discovered by the Gods in a mountain. They held an
annual celebration to honor their chocolate God. In the 400 years that
chocolate has had a world wide presence more than 100 medicinal uses
have been recorded; everything from it being a natural antidepressant
to it being a cure for anemia, tuberculosis, feeling faint of heart,
kidney stones and how shall we say… for stimulating “virility”. Since
its discovery chocolate has been used in every capacity ritually,
culinarily, medicinally, to bathe in at spas and even as currency.

That
chocolate is a powerful spiritual cleaning tool seems too miraculous to
be true! Most of the world’s population is thoroughly enchanted with,
if not outright addicted to, beloved chocolate. That bees are here on a
mission to drink from cacao flowers so that those flowers will become
pods full of chocolate beans is a miracle! Realizing that so few blooms
are fertilized brings a new awareness of what a miracle each and every
Godiva and Hershey display really is! That some clever soul saw funky
pods hanging off of a crazy tree in the Amazon and had the sudden
inspiration to crack one open and see what was in there, is a miracle.!
But we must be most grateful though for the most pivotal bit of
inspiration of all… that after having been brave enough to stick the
first bitter bean in his mouth this blessed person thought to himself
“You know I bet this would taste REALLY good with some sweetener!” And
to THAT soul we owe our eternal thanks and praise!

So,
for me, not only is it incredible that such an irresistible food is a
powerful cleaning tool; for me Dr. Len’s story made me see the miracles
within miracles. If you peel back the layers of anything here on earth
you can’t help but be awe struck by the unfathomably delicate,
intricate choreography that is God. The perfection of the timing, the
incomprehensibility of his multitasking with everyone’s comings and
goings second by second so that our souls are touched by inspiration
and perfect, synchronicities that are pure magic, miracles within
miracles of divine timing.

This
chocolate painting carries that energy. It cleans you as powerfully as
the Ho’oponopono prayer itself and is a visual reminder to go looking
for the miracles within miracles in your life beginning in the most
unlikely looking places.
