TURN IT OVER AND BOW OUT

Breathe in My very Spirit in pure air and fervent desire. Keep the eye of your spirit ever upon Me, the window of your soul open towards me. You have ever to know that all things are yours--that what is lovely I delight to give you. Empty your mind of all that limits. Whatever is beautiful you can have. Leave more and more the choice to Me. You will have no regrets.  "God Calling," May 5

Our most important lesson in that passage is not the promise of beautiful gifts to come to us, but the understanding that each "I," "My" or "Me" is within us and is the giver of the gifts. It is not out there, not an entity, formless or otherwise, out there, but within us, within every part, particle, molecule of our being.

I'm guessing that's why it's so hard to understand fully that I can and will fulfill all my needs. It's so much easier...or maybe "comprehensible" is the right word...for our reasoning mind to grasp our needs coming to us. No. They flow from us.

That is the deep meaning of "I Am that I Am." Those are just so many words until we are gifted with the realization of their truth. And that gift, too, comes from within.

In a blinding flash of the obvious, we know, and we know we know...whereas we once knew from our eyebrows up, we now know from our toenails up. That is realization. Eyebrows up = head knowledge; toenails up = realization.

This clarifies why "thank you" is the only prayer we will ever need. For every thank you prayer we pray is an acknowledgment that we are exactly where we need to be, that our beloved who appears to be in need of health, money, love is exactly where s/he needs to be...which opens the power within to flow forth and do its thing...whatever that thing may be. Our reasoning mind knows only what it wishes it to be, but I know what is needed.

Acknowledging that it is I who has the power is the surest way to stop the reasoning mind from trying to figure it out, to get its way. For it finally recognizes it can neither convince nor connive an outside force to do its bidding since there is no outside force.

The power is within and the reasoning mind finally bows to it...turns it over and bows out.

Thank you.
