A quick how-to for a fairly worry-free life: Accept that every less-than, or "bad" thing, appearing to our reasoning mind's eye is spiritually for our benefit. The unsecret but seldom realized fact is that when we stay our focus on "God's hand is in it," a metaphor for "God's will, God's way," we are peaced.
God is universal...a formless Power for good for all. I have long known that from my eyebrows up, yet I continued to think of my invisible God in human terms.
My deeper realization process began in full recently with the reading of a book, the author of which hammers home that God is not a figure, a body, a form...God is a Power for good.
That is my now focus...when I remember.
Several "bad" things have come into my life recently. For instance, I overpaid my city personal property tax by $400...which is not chump-change to me. Getting that straightened out is uphill every inch of the way, and we're not even near the top. Then, in December, Verizon sent me notice...need I say more? I have personally visited their office and been given their word it is all taken care of. Yesterday I got another notice doubling down.
Hassles, all hassles, and who isn't personally allergic to hassles?
I am practicing not just saying "God's hand is in this," but picturing the Power for good moving in the best direction for each of us touched by these egoic-quagmires.Which may mean my outcome is that I am out $400, that I owe Verizon, etc., which would benefit me in a way I cannot imagine.
There...that is God's hand in it. Benefited beyond imagining.
Thank you.
