ON RELEARNING LESSONS LEARNED

We who have another in our life who arouses our anger, frustration and resentment are blessed for that one is our own angel, the one who leads us up the stairway to Heaven within. 

Obviously, anger, frustration and resentment take us away from anything spiritual and are apt to lead us to a self-willed result...where even if we win, we lose.

This is where we remember that the only change necessary here is to our mind about the irritating one...our now goal is to appreciate this irritating angel. We get to change our mind about her, and the only chance of that happening is to start upgrading our attitude about him. There. That's our first step in giving it over to God...our willingness to open our mind or to quit resisting changing our mind. 

It may be counterintuitive but we are on our stairway to Heaven when we learn, and relearn many, many times, that the self-determined path is trying to do spiritual growth while depending on our reasoning mind's ways.

We get to take heart in the fact that we are on our stairway to Heaven even then. Just because we must needs remember to get out of our own way doesn't mean we have learned nothing. That is ego-victory thinking that if we  don't do it perfectly the first time, quit. And find someone to blame.

Lesson learned: The one who arouses our negative side to our reasoning mind is our nemesis...to our spiritual mind that one is our angel. There. We've changed our mind...now we stay with God to keep it changed.

Thank you.
