If you have been reading some of my more recent blogs, you know I have been going through quite a bit. I know, I am Divine living a human experience. I have not been living that truth. I realize, I have been in the belly of the whale. I have been living in a dark place, not allowing myself to listen to the beautiful voice, which is truth.
No matter what my intention, I keep listening to Screaming Mimi, causing myself unnecessary pain. Trying to see life as an observer is helpful but, oh-so hard. As observer, you notice the pain you’re in. You understand how you choose to see the scenario. Yet, as in a 3D movie, if you put the pair of glasses on, everything looks different. God is always handing us the glasses, but it is our choice to put them on.
Great news! The journey from Screaming Mimi to the life that can be lived by seeing only God is an 18-inch journey. It is the journey from the mind to the heart. That is a hard 18 inches when we fight. Yet, once we stop fighting, we realize that the journey is already done. We don’t have to seek it because we have always had it within.
It can be difficult to take hold of your thoughts. It is worth the effort and the work because we cause so much misery that is unnecessary.
Before we can truly love others, we have to forgive and love ourselves. We are hard on ourselves because we feel shame. Shame does so much to us, we try to hide from it. We push it down so deep we are unconscious of it.
Jesus totally embodied the Christ Mind, which is the same as the Mind of God. He showed the way, he gave the blueprint, yet how often do we follow it? I wish I could even say most of the time. A mystic teacher of mine once said if there were just two people on each continent who embodied Christ, the world would change for the better, quickly.
In the earlier part of my journey, I would beg, Take this away from me; Do that for me; and the famous, If you do this for me, I will do that for you. I am sure, Source/Divine/God had a great chuckle. I did not want to take responsibility for myself—I just wanted everything I perceived to be wrong to just go away miraculously.
I had a teacher that said, “Life is not all about you.” It is not. I am pleased to say, it is a whole lot better. You realize that there is so much more to life. To live empty, your life is joy filled.
Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there be any hurtful way in me and lead me in the everlasting way.
Now, years, later I read this question, and the answer came to me. Share the Love that I have received. Share the beauty and simplicity of our Creator. I have been doing just that, not only in the book, but in my blogs. How exciting!! I decided to go one step further: from this day forward, I will set the intention to write from the place of love. We are all Loving, Lovable, and Loved forever!!
