A half-awake thought tottered into my mind this morning; namely, I probably should quit thinking that we must go through the muck and mire to realize our good...that that is why I'm not rich, famous and beloved by all.
Believe it, that opened my eyes p.d.q. Doubtless it flashed the thought that it is the realization of the rough and rutted road as My way that, "rocketed into the 4th dimension," has kept me there or close enough. Clearly, "rich, famous and beloved by all" is I See Me, that first one a-calling.
For whatever reason, as I sipped my coffee, relieve me of the bondage of self came to mind. With it, I realized that we are relieved of the bondage of self today, but we trot along with the reins of self ever present, albeit invisibly. Whenever I See Me, the reins tighten, sometimes imperceptibly, and we head too far left, too far right.
It is the trust we have built through spiritual growth that reminds us God knows our needs and remembers for us our learning to drive a car...a little to the right, back to the left is the way. It is also the Way that leads us out of self to God.
Life is all about our return journey to God...our passage along the path of the material mind with its many detours, pitstops, U-bies and necessary changes of mind. We are ever being led deeper into the consciousness of the higher Power.
God is so good to us...we are never punished, only taught.
Thank you.
