It is the defensive ego that births our negative feelings, that projects negativity.
All of our negative feelings...fear, anger, sadness, self-pity, anxiety, pride, envy, jealousy, silent scorn, etc....are ego's self-protective shield. There. That is the shield we must shuck.
That is the block that stands between our soul and our experiencing peace, love and joy...that is, God's presence...which invites our love and laughter out into the sun.
To our reasoning mind's eye, the path through looks daunting for it sees that we must walk through our very fear and all its companions to reach daybreak...and, who's kidding whom, there is no guarantee that daybreak is going to offer the sunshine and roses we want.
Ah, and it is not! For we cannot want all that God has to offer. It is beyond our reasoning mind's ability to imagine all that God is, and that is therefore ours.
The pearl of great price is another paradox: It is our ego's defense that is God calling! We resist it not, but walk forward welcoming it with our thank you prayer in peaceful trust that it is God calling us home to God.
Thank you.
