LIVING THE GOLDEN RULE

[The following is a reprint of my blog of October 29, 2011.]

God comes to us disguised as our life. - Paula D’Arcy 

I wonder if my essential mistake isn’t in trying to be me. It seems I’ve spent the greater part of my life trying to be me by bettering myself…as in, making me appear better than I appear to be. It is all appearances if, as I believe, the Father is, I am, my core.

My job then is to quit trying to improve me for my own peace of mind…my job is to show forth who I am inside for the benefit of others. As “God Calling” sets it out in today’s entry, “Your success is the measure of My Will and Mind that you have revealed to those around you.” 

The key, of course, is to quit trying to improve me for my own peace of mind. I believe that the human condition is such that we need to live by a higher standard than we’d naturally choose. A standard as simple as the Golden Rule is antithetical naturally…else we wouldn’t need a Rule.

It seems peace of mind always comes back to detaching from my own idea of peace of mind…it’s all about giving peace without thought of whether or how or when I’m going to get mine.

Thank You.
