THE GOD OF MY UNDERSTANDING

[The following is my blog of March 1, 2011, reworked.]

I am reminded again that my God is MY God, the God of my understanding.

I suspect sometimes I am chasing my interpretation of Joel Goldsmith's God or Eknath Easwaran's or any number of others'.

While using others' tools is fine…beyond wonderful…every time I use one of their tools, I need to be open for MY return…when I don’t get what I am interpreting that the other got, I feel a failure…and miss my gift.

This is also true about mentors and friends. As has been written, they but point the way, it is ours to do the heavy lifting. Another's words, inspirations, ideas are another's gold. We each must find our own within our own self.

Thank you.
