EVERYTHING RIGHTS ITSELF FROM WITHIN

Mental resistance is the only block....

There it is, written in my "God Calling" as if it were news...which, apparently, it was to me. But what other kind of block could there possibly be to the personal experience of a loving God in our life?

But this we know for a sure and certain fact: Mental blocks are stronger than metal blocks or titanium for that matter. If our mind is "made up," i.e., "shut down," we are virtually the God of our own understanding...dependent entirely upon our reasoning mind, which, as we well know, is driven by our ego. Oops, wrong road again.

We fret about financial insecurity and physical infirmity and being unloved, unwanted, unneeded, unappreciated...all of those are pish-tosh in comparison to the only thing we need fear, and that is of those three words, I am right.

The minute we hear those words ringing in our head (usually way too long after they begin pealing), we can fall to our knees and thank God we hear them for our mind has begun to be changed. We then acknowledge, although we are willing to change it, we cannot...I am right has its claws in us. "Miraculously," we will almost immediately think to call our mentor or a confidant to talk...and there it is, God, answering our prayer.

The most important lesson to learn, and the one we most often skip, is that we must go to God and admit, "Something ain't right, and I can't fix it. Thank you."

Just declaring our self wrong is trying to make an end-run around God which is very simply a self-determined objective. The end result there is a doubling down on our own misery for we still believe I am right. Now, though, we've added guilty, wronged and put-upon into the bargain...and, unwittingly, someone must pay. That's one way abused animals, kids and spouses come to be.

Keep it simple: Go to God for God and that is all. Everything rights itself then through our reliance on that loving power within us.

Thank you.
