“Nothing you believe is true. To know this is freedom.”
byron katie
If our primary gauge of “reality” is what we see and hear in the media, we will surely feel despair. True freedom, our Divine Right, is contingent only upon a steadfast claim on LOVE. If we let it, Love will direct us to the thoughts that are causing us to suffer and then support us in bringing awareness to, and the release of, that mistaken belief. It is the best healing we can offer to ourselves and, ultimately, to our world: let’s let Love guide us away from our suffering into the healing balm of true freedom.
How freeing it is to OWN our reason for being here at this deep level!
I love a good paradox and Life offers them all of the time. Here’s one I tend to live by: We are as insignificant as a single grain of sand on a vast beach AND we are the key to everything.
But maybe that’s just me living in duality?
Pondering this focus, “I am a World Server”, made me want to float this idea:
If I am here to serve the world, then it all matters: The frequency that I emanate, the little acts of kindness that I do, the thoughts I entertain, the good intentions that I have and then follow-through on, the love I am willing to receive, the joy I am able to feel by something as constant as the light of the sunset in my own backyard.
If I am here to serve the world, then it all matters: The frequency that I emanate, the thoughts I entertain, the good intentions that I have and then follow-through on…
Conversely it matters when I do the opposite of these; using sarcasm rather than own that I am irritated and then attending to my boundaries maturely, allowing myself to nurse old grievances, failing to act when I can clearly DO something to help, letting myself be distracted so that I overlook the beauty all around me, missing an opportunity to offer my thanks.
So, here is my practice as I integrate this focus: I am a World Server…I intend to up-level my attention to the small details of my life and act as if it all matters. I’m certain I will fall down on this job. But I am committing to getting back up and carrying on. And…I appreciate you very much for being on the journey with me.
Doesn’t the word thrive seem to have “happy” embedded in it? As we ponder this week’s focus, we can begin to develop our own list of ways to up-grade our lives from where they are to a higher, richer and deeper expression of flourishing and prospering.
…Wherever we are on the spectrum of Life’s circumstances, our inner world can always be enhanced.
Some of us have life circumstances that will seem to make this assignment more difficult than others. But wherever we are on the spectrum of Life’s circumstances, our inner world can always be enhanced. What makes your heart happy? What enriches your ability to savor your unique and beautiful existence? Let’s go there. It’s time.
We ask ourselves, “How can I help? How can I make a difference in this very troubled world?” And here is our answer, in distilled form: invoke enlightenment.
At the heart of our suffering (pain, upsets, dissatisfactions and conflicts) is an invitation to mature spiritually.
At the heart of our suffering (pain, upsets, dissatisfactions and conflicts) is an invitation to mature spiritually. In the context of our spiritual nature, all suffering is held in an enormous field of Divine Love and thus not only endured, but dissipated and dissolved. But it takes maturity to pull this off; a willingness to outgrow the fixated ideas we learned in childhood and develop new understanding of ourselves and each other. That understanding leads to compassion, a doorway to enlightenment.
An enlightened being knows, with certainty, that we are One. From there all things are possible…even Peace on Earth.
