THIS TOO SHALL PASS

We honor that which we resist by giving it presence...it is nothing, it has no power nor presence except that which we give it by resisting it. And that only in our own mind.

I awoke this morning saying, "Resist nothing." And I immediately thought of three different people I am resisting because they are wrong (and disrespectful into the bargain) and I am right (and being very decent about it…according to me at any rate).

I then thanked God that he knows my needs. Out loud I said "Yes...yes to each of the three, and I invite them each to be exactly and to do precisely what they are being and doing according to my judging eyes so that I can, with you, overcome my own self that I am seeing in them."

I then picked up my Goldsmith, "The Heart of Mysticism," and at pages 756-757, I read: It is a constant remembrance that 'This too shall pass,' and then...carrying on one's affairs in the realization that whatever the name or nature of the 'this,' it will pass, not by any concerted effort of our own...but by virtue of the nothingness of this 'it' which we have been honoring by fighting.

That's it! I honor that which I resist by giving it presence. It is nothing; it has no power nor presence except that which I give it by resisting it. And that only in my own mind.

God loves me so much.

Thank you.
