JOYING IN THE I OF ALL IS JOYING IN ONE

This morning I found my 2005 note in my God Calling: "I need to joy in the I of us -- of all not just of me -- in order not to judge."

As I read that '05 BFO, the thought came that in God's world, the singular I is plural to form the One. Which thought led to another: Our problem is not that God will not heed us, it is that when we go with our free will, we do not heed God.

Now more than ever since August 24, 1971, I am in danger of indulging my disease...not so much because I may  physically indulge for my consciousness has been raised (plus I can't get to a store to buy my favorite poison), but because I will become self-will run riot just as I so often describe (judge) Donald Trump.

There it is: It is not only the pandemic I need be aware of but, much more importantly, I need be aware of the danger, by my very judging, of becoming as I perceive Donald J. Trump. Judge not lest ye be judged.

So my need is not only to joy in the I of all of us but to joy in the I of my self-perceived enemies in particular. It is fairly easy to think I am joying in the I of all just by wishing peace to the world; however, imagining, imaging, as in my heart, body, bones and brain not resisting but joying in the likes of Gertrude and Trump is a real stretch. 

Again gratitude comes running, and I remember my two favorites: "I shall fight no more forever,"  -- Chief Joseph and "We have ceased fighting anything and anybody." -- Anonymous

Now, more than ever, I must needs go to God for God and that is all.

Thank you.
