The pain we suffer is because of a mistaken identity. We think we exist because we hate, judge and think we are superior to others. All these states are dependent on negative imagination. When we are negative we are serving negativity and the darkness that created it.
There once was a waiter who kind of fell into working at a low level tavern. He spent most of his time resenting others. One day a different sort of a man in a linen suit checked in. When he came down to dinner the waiter noticed that this man was unusual in that he was polite and pleasant. He liked that. A drunk bumped into him and he didn't fight back. He just cleaned up the mess. A rebel rouser came into the tavern and stirred up the people telling them they had to rally the forces because they were going to be attacked. The man in the linen suit wouldn't take part in the commotion and just walked outside. The rebel rouser came outside and harassed the gentleman and called him a coward and kicks dirt on him.
Our waiter was amazed and asks the man how could he stand by and let people treat him like that? The man says, "I'm in the service of the King. I serve in the core of the royal messengers. I am dedicated to the King." I am compensated all the time. When I was kind to you, you poured me an extra glass of wine. When I didn't respond to the spilt water I was free from resentment. And when I cleaned up after myself I was in the service of everyone. When the messenger of fear arrived I refused to be a part of it. I was free. I work for the King and I know his resources, nothing can overcome him. Who can challenge the order of the universe?
We experience what we do because of what we serve. The reasons for our pain, is part of the pain. When I didn't respond to the man who pushed me and called me names I was free from the hatred and pain that accosts him. We have imagined enemies. Instead of seeing everything as enemies we can realize they are opportunities to see ourselves in the other person. The waiter asked him, "How can I become a messenger of the King?
A great portion of our lives is spent in not wanting them. There is no moment of the day that it is not given to us to be the Kings messenger. Let the King be your awareness in every moment. Let the awareness of yourself and what you understand to be the highest and truest dictate your life. A conscious messenger is a messenger of conscience of Light and Truth. Therefore we cannot hate and leave the world a better place. Presently we serve something that can never be satisfied. A conscious messenger of the King is someone who realizes they can't overcome what has overcome another person. We have to change what we serve.
The messenger's power was he was never without the King. We have to fall in love with what is right. Love represents what conscience is. Who wants to serve something that never serves you but makes you suffer? The King will take care of you. Make up your mind. Do you want to serve your hatred, greed or do you want to understand wherever you are your heart can be in line with the universe. Change what you serve.
