Guiding Thought

There is only one Will. That Will is Love. That Will is our Love:  your Love, my Love, together. Only when we will in Love is the outcome assured in Love. Only when we will in Love do we know the results are truly beneficial to all, including ourselves. Only when we will with Love are we Free and we affirm with certainty “All is as it should be”.

Reflection

In reverse: If we cannot affirm with certainty “All is as it should be”, then we have not willed in Love.

Linearly: If I do this…then this… then this, all the while willing in Love, then I am assured of results that will be harmonious. If there is any disharmony along the way, then there is lack of alignment with the Loving Will somewhere within me.

After I wrote yesterday about the sub-theme of remembering-forgetting, in my sleep, I was reminded, “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God”.

I say reminded because seeking first the Kingdom of God has been a regular–near daily–theme and practice for me for over 20 years. And yet, I had forgotten it. 

The past three weeks have been a bit of a roller coaster. The panic that I’ve been feeling, that I have written about, that is an indicator of not willing with Love. It’s an indication of results and outcomes that are not harmonious, not peaceful, not beneficial to all. I have not been able to say “all is as it should be”, because I have been too concerned about my little self, and not enough about my Divine Self–the Kingdom of God.

Seeking first the Kingdom of God is really a short-hand way of saying exactly what the Guiding Thought is saying: Will with Love first, last, and always, and all outcomes will be assured in Love. When all outcomes are assured in Love, then, and only then is there Peace within and Peace in the world (within and without, the Kingdom of God).

I wonder…if I can forget something that I have spent over 20 years reminding myself, 20 years practicing, 20 years of research and experimentation…then it makes sense that there are a whole lot of things that I have forgotten.

I feel like I am at various stages of remembering. Some things I have remembered more than other things–like seeking first the Kingdom of God, or Know Thyself, or Love thy Neighbor– I am pretty good at all of these, though I do still forget sometimes.

There are other things that I have not remembered as frequently, like how True Happiness feels, or how trusting God feels, or how abundance feels, but I do still remember them from time to time, and I know they are circulating about in my consciousness, to be remembered.

But then, what about the things that I have very rarely remembered or  never remembered, but that I still know are true–like Worth does not need to be earned, that I am a beloved child of God, that Health and Wholeness are my birthright…

It’s like what I do remember is the tip of an iceberg, and what I don’t remember still lies 90% beneath the surface.

In a few days (day 31), I am going to remember this, and embrace the Guiding Thought for that day, to begin to remember all that I have forgotten, under the surface.

Affirming. Worth (1.3.5)

Guiding Thought

There is only one Will. That Will is Love: your Love, my Love, our Love, together. Only when I will in Love is the outcome assured in Love. Only when I will in Love do I know the results are truly beneficial to all, including myself. Only when I will with Love am I Free, and I affirm with certainty “All is as it should be”.

Reflection

Can I affirm with certainty “All is as it should be”?

If the answer to that question is “no”, then I have not Willed with Love.

If the answer to that question is “yes”, then I have Willed with Love.

How often do I feel the peace of knowing all is as it should be?

Sometimes, but not that often. I have felt it; I know I have. But most of the time, I am caught up in something else that is probably best described as “just getting through life”–going here and there, doing this and that. It’s like constant preoccupation.

How do I go from constant preoccupation and not knowing all is as it should be to the constant preoccupation and knowing all is as it should be? In other words, how does it happen that I live life, going here and there, doing this and that, and know constant peace, in the constant union with Divine Will?

The obvious answer is, “will in Love”, all the time. Yeah. I’m working on it. Not there yet, but working.

Sharing

All is as it should be. There is only One Will, Love. We are always in Its service. Always. Thus, all is as it should be. Always.

One person does not respond… for 8 weeks; the other responds quickly! Then, the first person, after 8 weeks of silence, responds! And the second person, who responded quickly, now wants to wait a few weeks. All is as it should be.

A language barrier prevents accurate communication. Both people involved feel confused, frustrated, taken advantage of, even lied-to. Without words, one steps through the misunderstanding, shows generosity. Peace ensues. All is as it should be.

Full steam ahead to make that business deal! Everyone is working hard for it happen. Out of the blue, an unexpected offer. Take the offer, and let all that work go?  Keep working hard? Or release? All is as it should be.

Difficult. Obstinate. Petty. Immature. Vindictive. Stupid. Bullying. All is as it should be?? Learn: Patience. Humor. High road. Respect. Standing up for oneself. Forgiveness. All is as it should be.

“See that I am God. See that I am in everything. See that I do everything. See that I have never stopped ordering my works, nor ever shall, eternally. See that I lead everything on to the conclusion I ordained for it before time began, by the same power, wisdom, and love with which I made it. How can anything be amiss?”  -Julian of Norwich

I am the key in my life to living in the knowledge all is as it should be. I am the only one who can see through my eyes, experience my experiences, assimilate information for myself, for my own understanding.

The only way to do this within the Peace and Harmony of the Divine Will, is to will with Love. Every moment, in every situation, Love, Love to all, for all. I cannot see all the pieces; I cannot know all the outcomes, but I can be assured that all is as it should be, when I do my utmost to be with the Will that Wills through me.

Guiding Thought

We allow our physical body to experience itself fully as Light and Love. Our physical bodies embody Light; we are an expanded body of Light and Sound. We move as Light, perceive as Light, behave as Light. We are everywhere—permeating, expanding, unifying, and healing. All things are possible.

Sharing

A couple of days ago I was struggling with the concept of “All is as it should be.” Today, I am accepting “All things are possible,” and feeling that really “All is as it should be”. I feel calm, at peace, confident, and assured.

But it’s funny how the mind works.

Shortly after I began accepting both of those statements on a deeper level while reading the Guiding Thought, recognizing I was calm, I thought, but what if it’s not? What if it’s not as it should be? What if what I want to be possible isn’t? And I felt panic rise; it was just a small twitch, but it was an immediate response to that doubt.

I realized I had projected that doubt into the future and had begun thinking about what I want. And as soon as I did, I began thinking about what I don’t want.

I have to remember that “All is as it should be” and “All things are possible” are so much bigger than me. As soon as I made it about me, the peace and calm gave way to panic and dissolved the assurance of now.

I can still feel it, still feel the smallness of wanting to make it about me.

This is a really good realization on this Consciousness Journey. How do I hold myself back? How do I limit myself? How I sabotage the progress? I go through struggles, fumbles, days of intense self-examination, and I get to (finally!) a place of peace and acceptance…and what do I do? I throw a wrench in the gears.

The wrench came from a different place than my struggles, though. When I am struggling, by golly, I know it. And when I know it, I take it head-on. “Bring it! Let me work this out. Let me get through this. Let me transform this.” And I work on it until it’s passed.

Then here I am; passed it, I am feeling good…and then something I wasn’t seeing comes up to get in my way.

At least I noticed. It was like a small crack that begins as you’re walking over an icy pond. You hear it first and just stop. “Is that what I thought it was?” You look down and see the tendrils of a crack. “Yup. I better not take that step.” But even backing up or retracing steps becomes precarious…present danger averted, but now you need to get back to where you know you’re safe; who knows how that small crack compromised the structure of the ice?

Maybe I misspoke (mistyped?) when I called this self-sabotage or holding myself back. Maybe this is really keeping me safe. Maybe the panic is a small, clear warning sign. I alerted myself to the danger of going down the path of doubt and making “it” about me.

Returning to a place of peace and assurance simply means removing the cause of the interruption, thoughts about me and I.

We. Us. Ours. Together. All. IS. Yes.

Thanks for keeping me safe.
