FOR THE BENEFIT OF OTHERS

What a great gettin' up morning! At 5:00 AM, I had this blinding flash of the obvious: 

BFO today, April 20, 2022: The only battle is within myself...i with I...within...within...i, my reasoning mind, ever fighting I Am...that is the only battle/there is no battle...'resist not evil, we have ceased fighting.'

At 5:30 AM I sat down to my daily readings and found a very blinding flash; namely, I opened God Calling and found my note of April 20, 2011: BFO - '11 - realized if I seek and do what Jesus sought and did, I will be.... 

Then I opened Easwaran, Words to Live By, and read: '11- there is only one need...to be and do as [the first 100] showed us and did.  

Well, there it is...I have my blinding flash of the obvious this morning, then I find my own handwritten proof that exactly eleven years ago this day, the birth of this BFO came to me. 

That, too, divides itself in my understanding: Reasoning mind goes for condemnation of self...how slow can I go? Eleven years it took me to realize? Then raised consciousness melts me...thank you that I have not wasted those eleven years for I have used each day seeking deeper to be raised higher.

I began by studying the Sermon on the Mount, which was the first 100's guidebook. The Sermon, I learned, was the basis for the writing and publishing of our own book which is used by us to this day to guide us as we Step out in our new life. 

Slowly we have learned to trust God...in our life for our  benefit and that is all. Whether we know it or not. We pass it on to others...to hold it in is self feeding self and starving Self.

It is to love and laugh. There it is, the peace we seek waiting within.

Thank you.
