I know that when (not if) I am feeling hurt, slighted, angered or afraid, my need is to examine that feeling and consciously detach from it, to not attach to it. To detach we must decide to go within to God's limitless supply of impersonal love, or we will surely attach to our ego's limitless supply of resentment.
We remind our self that need is of God, want is all ego. It is need that seeks God's will over our own wishes.
We are on the right track when we realize that our attachment is to our feelings of hurt, anger, fear...each bringing its own unlimited supply of self-pity. Think about it...is there any other feeling as sincere as self-pity?
If we do not decide on the spot to consciously detach, i.e., to not pick it up, we will invariably personalize our self-pity. Gertrude has just become the source of our woe, and it is now a win/lose proposition. The game is on!...the game where nobody wins.
The hard lesson learning is that when we detach, God's hand is in it...we win by losing.
The Father knows our needs.
Thank you.
