USING WHAT WE ALREADY OWN

Over time we learn that all of our needs are within us, were with us at birth, have been there, right there within us, all along. Our life's journey is to detach from our wants and give thanks for our needs which have already been fulfilled. 

I suspect it is the giving thanks for our needs that is the source of our resistance. Because, who's kidding whom, our needs are rarely (if ever) as pretty as our wants. I need to be more loving to...someone I'm not loving, clearly, and who wants to do that? What I want is for that someone to be if not more loving at least nice to me so I can be more loving toward them...and look like the better person. 

Over time we may learn these goodies, but I'm guessing our trusting unto living them as we breathe is why we have reincarnation. We must needs keep coming back until we get it right, and one lifetime just is not long enough. For me, at any rate.

It is the promise of reincarnation that helps me focus on living by the Sermon...I do not want to need to redo any of my self-centered mistakes in the next lifetime. 

Accept the gift of giving over, giving up, giving in now and weaken the steel of self-will yet to come. According to me.

Thank you.
