It is our inner changes that change our outer...the inner change of desiring peace for another person for instance. Released from the self-centered objective for our own peace of mind, we now seek to be a source of peace for others...particularly for the Gertrudes and Herkimers who are such a pain to our egocentric mind.
It is when we meet those who irritate us (just because) that we learn to quickly turn our attention away from our pique, to turn toward God... not, not, not toward loving thoughts for the other. That just keeps us tied to a self-determined objective. We must needs turn our thoughts toward God so that there is no separation, no separate thoughts about the other, about our pique, about us. There is only God in our thoughts, our heart, our soul.
Just getting over a peeve doesn't empty the ego-victory reasoning mind; it is, however, a necessary step in getting over our own self. Our goal is to have a non-resisting mind, a contented mind, freed from wants and don'ts. Both will come...laugh and welcome them.
Love, laugh and welcome...piques, put-downs, happy meals, any and all things. If we will follow the directions we are given to cease fighting any and all things, that is the natural course to follow.
We choose to believe that there is nothing that will come to us that cannot be welcomed just as it is. For God is our buffer, our protector...our own Self.
Thank you.
