I had a blinding flash of the obvious once...be the first to give over...and over the years that has become my comforter. Actually, it's proven to be more like my Velveteen Rabbit...seemingly with a desire to live and breathe but with my ego, Lucy With The Football, resisting it.
Since that first flash entered my consciousness, I know heart-comfort when I actually do it...it solves all "neighborhood" disagreements. I don't think in terms of wars...if we each keep our own nest clean, the neighborhood will shine, the town will be moving in the right direction, the county will be trucking right along, the state, etc., etc., etc.
Doesn't that prove the Truth of we have ceased fighting anything and anybody or for Chief Joseph's I will fight no more forever?
However and apparently, it is the inalienable right of our ego to resist. To, by gum, get over on...to never give up, to Win. It takes a major U-bie within our own self to recognize that the thing we must needs resist is our egoic want to resist.
We make a bare beginning when we see that to our ego, the gift of free will is more like a euphemism for self will...a double-edged sword if ever there was one.
Our long-ago realization that there are two ways to look at all things...through reason or through love...now is a purpose. We know our free will is best used less for reasoning and more spiritually so we look more within than without.
When we find ourself leaning more on our Father and less on our self, we are gifted with acceptance of our life's journey being all about returning that free will to God.
Our need is now our desire...to detach from self will and freely give over, give up, give in.
Thank you.
