Whether summoned or not, God is here. -- long ago blinding flash of the obvious.
I read again that BFO in my "God Calling" this morning and saw that it is not our fault that we do not realize God at all times...it is our blessing. We can praise that fact for to realize God at every moment would be to have completed our return journey...and we are not ready.
Our journey now is about becoming ready which means we're learning the gift of denying our self in order to give over to the other. Our journey consciously starts when we realize that all that we know, see, feel, invite in, bar at the door...including our own self, our own ego self...all are friends. All are to be loved. All are to be served at their state of consciousness...in other words, to serve each without judgment.
The hardest part for me continues to be learning to love my ego...to my reasoning mind, one step too far, and I'm a braggart, not far enough by an inch and I'm a failure and a fool. Which isn't to say that trying to love Gertrude in all her/his states of consciousness has been apple-pie easy, but resistance to Gertrude always starts with our own ego. Thus the always answer: Detach with love from our own ego.
Clearly we're talking God work. And there it is. All life, every moment of our life, is God work. With God using our hands and feet, our mind and mouth. That's his prep area. We must ever be prepping for God alone knows our individual time and place of ready.
Thank you.
