Good Day!
I actually really chose to get to the blog today as it is definitely an assist at times in thinking things through, gaining clarity, and pruning insight into digestible portions!
I intuited when I set my intention to retain my inner peace and contentment as a priority I would be given a good run for my money, haha. It has presented exactly as I felt it would. In the past few days a challenging situation emerged. At onset, the emotional charge projected by the other person involved was both tangible and almost startling. I made a decision to go within for guidance and direction on just how to handle this rather rare occurrence.
Yesterday on awakening I had a clear answer. Ironically, it came right out of Part ll, which we will be giving for the next 3 days. We have an exercise in ll called Responding with an Honest NO. I do believe it's worth the price and time of this whole training in itself. I was clearly shown that I should 'live' what I teach, and utilize this information directly in my personal and professional life.
I did just that and my peace has been felt, when I have directed myself inward, ever since. I have no control over outcome. What I can control is my making decisions from my heart with integrity that reflect both my Teacher's Guidance and the soul's wisdom of what is right in a given situation. I must make my best choice within these parameters and supports, and then let go of outcome completely.
The ego has been trained to REACT to others emotional manipulations, games, bullying, threats, whatever. It often will holler 'PUNT' when it looks like my true path lies beyond my comfort zone. This time I very clearly and carefully chose to ignore my ego's discomfort and just do what I believe, sincerely, to be RIGHT.
I must say I have never felt more peace, solidity, and composure when sh*t seems to be hitting the fan. I have also felt more compassion for those who seem to have lost their emotional stability and discretion. I recall my Teacher has said, "Blame does not make me worse, or praise better."
I am what I am in the face of my God...and it is only The ONE'S blessing, along with my Teacher, that I seek. Turning away from outer chaos to the inner realm of surety provides such amazing solace.
If my ego has a desire to defend itself I turn my focus back to the Divine and realize there is nothing to defend. My job is to stay at peace amidst the crash of colliding worlds, defense is not required or really even appropriate. I trust that I have made the best decision I could have in the hand dealt me, and I must maintain my inner compass at ALL costs. The outcome is NOT important...what I become through the experience IS.
An interesting side-note. Dennis suggested I do the Peace and Harmony Prayer for the principles involved. Though I have been sending them Love and Light I had not done so in this formal practice. I was resistant..since I am already doing it a minimum ten times daily.
I climbed on "this horse" as well and at first I didn't much enjoy it. Yet, and this is the enlightening part, the last couple of times done, I absolutely ADORED doing it. I discovered that my ego's reaction of distaste for considering the situation and those involved had morphed into an enjoyable experience of Peace and Harmony when both situation and individuals were brought before the focus of my mind. YES! How very sweet that thoughts that brought unease have been pushed aside, and thoughts that bring serenity have been attracted though this venerable practice. I hope you may take this idea and use it in your life with similar result!
Loving you always, k
