"Leave your nets and follow me." This was Jesus's invitation to the fishermen he found on the shore. And some did...for all I know all did. I'm just awed at the idea...leave your security, your guaranteed money-making job, and take a chance on what a person passing by has to offer.
Here's where the reasoning mind rules...because anybody with a lick of sense would know that's a non-starter...not only a non-starter, but a let's-put-a-little-distance-between-us-and-the-guy-doing-the-inviting.
It is in fourth dimension consciousness that we begin to catch a glimpse of the rightness of the invite...the realization that it is not the man doing the inviting that we are being asked to follow. It is the Me, the I Am, the Father within the man that we are invited to follow.
There are people of such raised consciousness that it shows from their face, from their very person, without their ever saying a word...and not just the likes of the Dalai Lama or Mother Teresa, but everyday people....carpenters and fishermen, prostitutes and virgins and such.
I, personally, have found very few such people in churches, but then I've found none in jails, and I have been in a few churches and also in a jail or two. Although I've been in only one jail for my own transgression, and may I say once was one time too many. But it is for our own benefit that we must seek to raise our consciousness deeper in order to recognize such people...and follow them.
Thank You.
