Good Sunday Morning!
We are about to start the April Source Journey and I know time will be short. I have been desiring to blog since Friday and I decided this morning I would keep God with me as I did so, so it would be the same as meditation. Yogananda says that...if you perform your activities with the Consciousness of God, and the desire to please Him, it is the same as meditating. I like to hold it that God created me to enjoy Himself as a part of Himself, so I will do with the intention of His maximum enjoyment of my doing. We have already enjoyed some "interesting" things together today!
Friday morning was very special because I woke up and said my Good Mornings to the One, Great Ones, and Saints. I then recited my "I and My One are One" affirmation and completed the Affirmation for General Healing. The sweet apex of it all was "Samadhi". I ended rendering that incredible paean to full Cosmic Consciousness with tears streaming down my face. Now THAT is a recipe for beginning the day, I'll tell you!
Friday was Contemplative Mass and it was delightful. I came back to Inshallah and busied myself with various duties and then....the s*it hit the fan! I watched (not closely enough!) as my sweet peace and Awareness of Presence eroded into a tussle of egos. A very dear grad gave me an oblique wake-up when he said, "Enjoy your week up there, Kanta."
I got it immediately! My ego had taken over and I wasn't enjoying anything! I slowed down and began to rebuild my perspective. What was going on? Was it really that important? NO! NOTHING is as important as retaining my peace and God-Connection. When the dust cleared, and the ONE and my Peace came back (the ONE had never left, of course, I had cut myself off!), an obvious solution to all the brouhaha appeared.
It took several hours, and the ONE was able to use me to ease another out of an ego stranglehold into their Light and Highest Good, and all was well. Whew....what we do to ourselves!
One thing I am realizing is the more I can memorize the soul-stirring, Awakening words of the Great Ones, the better! I can sing or chant or mentally recite these Pearls anytime, anywhere, and they bring me back to balance. The inane whisperings of my ego-self only bring me down!!
Yesterday was a happy one for I was able to Practice the Presence of God through much of it...and enjoy so many things through His Eyes! When the world is colored with that Divine Vision it is a very lovely place!
Today I am again charging myself with the intention to keep my ONE with me, enjoying moment by moment, two of us together, laughing, solving "problems", sharing our love with All. I also know I will forget, I am a baby taking baby-steps, AND HE will be right there waiting for me, when I REMEMBER again. After all, GOD is ALWAYS only a thought away!
Loving you always, k
