It's an almost sure thing that we will stay stuck in our own reasoning mind's world as long as we continue to act on the belief that we are the guardian of our own self...that we must "stand up for our self" for instance. Justified by, "We can't let others run over us."
When we make our decision to turn our will and our life over to the care of God, we don't seem to realize that we have given up the idea that we can continue to "guard our own back." We will live in our own head forever as long as we feel the need to be on guard against anybody or anything.
The humbling fact in my experience is that my guard is up against what others might think about me...ISIS chopping off my head I can handle, Lucy assures me. And God grins.
Saying "God has my back" and trusting that unto living it is probably a rest of our lifetime exercise...but we must start somewhere, sometime. Because what if reincarnation is a fact and we really do keep coming back until we get it right?
Remembering "just try not to be as nasty as you want to be" is a good place to start.
Thank you.
