SEEK THE DIVINE WITHIN

I wonder if there is a decision to be made that is greater than ours to throw in completely, totally, one hundred percent with God...albeit the decision being God-born. If it's not, it's a self-determined objective...still self leading our parade. 

The hard lesson to learn is that the decision fully made takes time...happens in God's good time. In ego's thrall, I have often figured the God of my understanding for a drag-foot which he may be, but he's never late. 

Our self solutions are rarely if ever the perfect solutions of God. Face it, our need is to go through the crucible of ego-deflation in depth to find the divine, God's solution...and we are inwardly changed. Outwardly we're the same old self, but we feel new, welcoming our Now solution. Our new best-dress is within and, interestingly, if we flaunt it, we ain't got it.

All on our own, trying to change ourself or our attitude, we begin trying to upgrade the less-than-wonderful about us into something "good." That is just exchanging one judgment for another. We are still into ego victories underlying which will always be self...face it, we're heading down that wrong road again. 

We learn...again...that we cannot upgrade our attitude by self-will alone. We need to bring in the Peacemaker (and not a Colt 45). 

We are building our inner connection with a power greater than ourselves. This is the cornerstone of meditation...being led higher into the silence...turning our reasoning mind over to the divine secret hidden deep within.

Teresa of Ávila envisioned God telling her, 'If you wish to find Me / In yourself seek Me.'

Thank you.
