MARCH 7/10 - ‘THY WILL NOT MINE’

Is there a will that is beyond ours?

If so, who’s?

We have free will, don’t we?

Who has the final word?

We ‘are’ in control, ‘aren’t’ we?

I’m the final answer, aren’t I?

My will not thine?

The questions go on & on. Religions try to answer them.

Wait, whose religion?

“Deep down all religions are pointing towards the same wisdom: the wisdom of love & compassion, peace & generosity, service & serenity egoless-ness & self-realization.” Satish Kumar, ‘No Destination’

Is it possible that the Higher Will is above all religions?

If so why doesn’t that Will choose the right course for us all?

Is this a spiritual issue or is there a practical answer?

Might that Omniscient Will be available through listening?

It strikes me that the answer is yes & that the answer is within. Listening to that inner voice is the place to find the answers to these questions & the path meant for each of us to follow on this physical journey.

This Will is not male or female but ethereal. It is the accumulation of the whole which has the brightest outcomes for its creations. We are part of that creation, that mosaic of beauty & love.

We can complete that mosaic or help tear it apart. That choice is ours, free will.

When our will finds us in deep water, uncomfortable, dis-eased, it may be that we are concentrating on our own advantage versus the age old admonition ‘to do unto others as ye would want done unto yourself’.

Is it possible that by looking out for the other person’s interest that our own health is assured? Is it possible that this may be the path to success?

Does focusing out-wards bring inner peace?

A number of years ago, I asked the question, of the Universe, ‘how does one person or couple influence world peace?’ The answer that has arrived, why so long, is to achieve peace within.

The centre of the Universe is at the centre of our soul. You might want to have me describe ‘our soul’ but that answer has not arrived yet. I am confident that that which connects us all is the Higher Will that can provide the answers each of us needs.

We need to go within to get out of our own way. Our developed sense of our own worth, whether monetary, materially, or self esteem, are the challenges to finding out who we really are & why we are here.

When we enter a transaction to win, rather than to help the other not to lose, it takes a piece of that gift we were given at birth & diminishes its light.

We entered the physical world from the light & to the light we will return. How much baggage will we take back?

It won’t be anything material but it will be possible to return as a much less bright light. Heaven to me is keeping that light bright from physical entrance to exist. Hell is letting that energy run down, a true sustainability issue.

We arrived in this Garden of Eden & we have figured out ways to contaminate the garden, whether through ignorance or on purpose. It would seem appropriate to wake up & clean up after ourselves, leaving a clean garden to the next lights that appear. Why not a sustainable model rather than blowing up the garden as we leave?

This is not only thinking of others but thinking of those who have not entered our sphere yet.

Let’s leave a legacy that future generations thank us for not a recycling nightmare.

Does this make me an environmentalist?

Simply, this to me is heeding ‘Thy Will not mine’.

Trying to be greater than the little ‘self’.

Overcoming my ego.

Letting go.
