GET, BE AND REMAIN AVAILABLE

Just as there are levels of consciousness, there are levels of learning then relearning the same thing. In the normal course of the day, when we make the same mistake we've made before and thought we'd learned our lesson from it, we often beat our self up with "Will I never learn?" 

It's a great gettin' up morning when we realize that relearning is not necessarily proof of no growth, it's not even relearning. What is happening is proof that we did learn our reasoning mind lesson well, but now we are being moved on up to a deeper level. Here we learn the same lesson from a new dimension, i.e., from a spiritual point of view.

This is where and why the reasoning mind balks. We well know that the spiritual point of view is all about giving over, letting go, putting the other first...which at first feels like pulling heavy tape off bare skin. Like, it smarts.  

That's how we know we are being moved. We believe we're willing, but we have not a clue where, why or how to start. That's why our willingness is not to feel the pain of the change, but to quit with our incessant thinking, analyzing, mental meandering of how to change. We have become willing to detach from our own thoughts with no mental time limit set. We never know the hour or day the bridegroom will come.

That's our lesson, in toto: We must be willing to detach from our reasoning mind in order to realize that each relearning comes at a deeper spiritual level, and we have no say in when that realization will come...our job is to get, be and remain available. Which is never easy, but it is, indeed, the pearl beyond price.

Thank you.
