Today's gift...
April 24, 2013...
Interesting times. Many great things have been happening...just because...; no pinpointed cause nor causal action/s imposed. Just allowing 'things' to happen.
Yes - I have been engaged. No, I have attempted (!) not to reject or condemn happenings.
Uuuufff! (that's hard!)
I'll go into those 'happenings' at a later time, but for now, today's gift...was spectacular. In the middle of the hustle-bustle of the morning's activities, I re-read the following page. A page from the book "The Undefended Self": p. 276. IT seemed to come across as..."with this, you can leave your built-in compass at home" , or..."you can take a break from searching for the 'right thing to do, for it's all here". Or something like that!
To come across this today, has been a gift: here it is...
276 THE UNDEFENDED SELF
We can remember who we are and what all human beings
know in their hearts:
• That we are each enough as we are.
• That we are each ultimately good and deeply connected to all life.
• That we have within us all that we need to make us happy.
• That we are lovable and capable of loving others.
• That the most pleasurable way to live on the planet is in a community of nourishing, supportive relationships.
• That we are capable of deep intimacy with a primary other.
• That we can find friends who will support us on our path of spiritual and emotional growth.
• That we can find our true work in the world - what we are uniquely called to give - which will also meet our real needs.
• That we can find our right place to live, our grounding on this planet.
• That this is ultimately a benign universe.
• That there is order and meaning to our lives which we can gradually uncover from within.
• That the process of facing and accepting all of our inner selves will bring peace, love, harmony, happiness, and fulfillment in our lives.
.
As we drop our defenses and embrace all of who we are, we come to know our true identity as God-inspired beings. We embrace our free will and choose harmony, love, and respect over divisiveness, fear, and destruction. We choose both connection and individuation, rather than separation or self-denial.
We hear the call to fulfill a vision of harmony on earth. We know the longing. We attune ourselves to create from love and trust, even as we stay awake to the limitations intrinsic to the human condition in its present state of evolution. We open to and affirm the best in ourselves and our fellow humans. We acknowledge and work to transform the worst in ourselves and our fellow humans. And we keep alive the vision of creating heaven on earth, of entering the new Eden of awakened consciousness.
I'll munch on this one for a while. How about you...? Enjoy!
