THIS IS NOT AN ACT OF WILL

My heart is singing...my Lord, what a morning! Oh, my Lord, what a morning...when the sun began to shine!

I got my new way of looking at the dust up with my friend. My new way of looking at it is my mind got changed...I saw that the dust up had nothing to do with us. It was and is for our benefit in doing that which we are learning, learning, learning. We are learning to detach from whatever we are resisting which is whatever is less than wonderful to our reasoning mind (accept is another word for detach, according to me). Then we get to become grateful for what is. That is the lesson we are learning.

Now to do it...that is another thing entirely. But it's only "another thing entirely" if we keep not doing it! That's exactly why we keep getting these opportunities. We get opportunities every minute of every hour of every day unto infinity. We are learning to realize that this that we are resisting (thereby attaching to) is our gift. We only need thank God for it, and let it be.

This is not an act of will. If our only goal is for still more spiritual growth, as in to know God aright, we will be led forward in ways beyond our reasoning mind's comprehension. Which means, it usually comes as an "Oh, no!"

I'm guessing that's because we'd never let go of our reliance on our reasoning mind if every fear we conjured up became butterflies and angel dust before our very eyes. Which, come to think of it, is what happens, we just must change our mind about the way we're looking at it.

Oh, my Lord what a morning!

Thank you.
