The following are various notes I have written in my "God Calling" over the years. I feel grateful for the reminders, but, who's kidding whom, I'm mostly surprised that they hold true still.
When I throw shade on another, I invite that same shade back on me. Without fail.
When I extend myself for another...whether or not they know it...I better me...and I feel it.
My fear of financial insecurity came on in full when I quit giving to charities.
Not only are we the manufacturer of all our own woes, but we are the Source of all our own good.
Over the years I have identified this and that and the other thing as my nemesis. In identifying my nemesis, I realized in 2017, My nemesis is me, beginning and ending in my own self interest.
To resist not evil transmutes evil (with gratitude to "An Interrupted Life").
Way back to JoB's screed: I have had the free-floating idea that this was part of her initiation, possibly our mutual initiation. Pondering that, I was mentally projecting others asking how I felt about JoB's screed, and I was arm-wrestling with God on how I could shoot a snark but with loving kindness. (And God said No.) Instead, he sent a blinding flash of the obvious: I can consider that to be a part of her initiation and myself privileged to be a part of it, Ah, now to practice that.
What if life itself is our initiation?
Thank you.
