Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. -- The Gospel According to Saint Matthew
It's amazing how long it takes not to realize but to accept that Saint Matthew is not referring to material world goodies. To realize and be grateful that it's all about living and thinking from our raised consciousness, from God consciousness.
I sometimes think that our enlightenment is like the incredible dream with the answer to all life's problems that we half-awake from at 3:00 A,M., thinking there's no need to write that down, no way we'll ever forget it. Then as we awake fully at 7:00 A.M., no way we can remember it. It is gone.
As we live ever so slowly deeper within our raised consciousness, we realize the why of Seek ye first the kingdom of Heaven. Short answer: Because that is all there is.
Then we find out...oh, there is more. The more is and all these things shall be added unto you. And there goes my ego Lucy, grabbing for the keys to her promised Mercedes...again. Rope her in, bring her back. And come again to the realization, with acceptance dragging its feet behind, that all these things are not material world goodies either.
All these things are peace, love, joy, patience...all the things we pray for but only when we're feeling the need. These are the very things that before birth are sealed up within us...along with free will, they are gifted us, and we have a mostly unused supply still there within. Paradox alert! We realize they are already ours by using them. We can choose to be at peace, to give love...a lot, to shout silent hallelujahs...a lot, to let the other driver in and with a smile.
Better, we can simplify. We can choose to keep a continuous mental Thank You rolling. And with a smile.
Thank you.
