Shop eCoursesIs it possible that some of us just cannot learn in a single lifetime? The mind says enough is enough. Having done all I can and failed, there is only a fleeting flicker of light at the end of this tunnel. I accept that only Divinity can provide in this moment, but I'm tired and wait in silence to hear. Knowing I need help, I continue to ask. Will this be enough?
We may or may not, depending on a host of possibilities, be able to control what takes place around us; circumstances are just that...and one must learn to deal with them as best as one understands their actual nature. However, we have the right and a responsibility to play a role in what unfolds within us.
We experience what our attention places us in relationship with... and when we allow our attention to wander into dark places such as self-pity, regret, or self-loathing... we will find ourselves listening to, and then identifying with all familiar dark voices telling us why we must feel as we do... lost and without hope.
I will tell you what's hopeless: listening to any part of ourselves slowly trying to convince us that all is lost. It's this very unconsciousness, with all its complaining voices and ensuing unhappiness that is lost... and it wants to take us with it... deeper into itself.
Do what you know is true, and regardless of the temptation to identify with familiar but dark feelings...be a witness to them by refusing to serve them. Become an active observer instead of a passive dumping ground for the very thing that's trying to grind you down. Remember the difference between darkness and Light, between helpful healing ideas and self-denigrating thoughts that exist only to torment.
No one, and I mean no one... can make this kind of interior fight for you... which means you must choose; never mind everything telling you it's impossible to change. With God all things are possible...but only if you allow his Light to be your guide. What is Divine in nature, what is true, kind, strong and always wise is always with us... which means it is we who have wandered away. Which is why, regardless the seeming depth of whatever pit we have fallen into... all we have to do is see where we've been lead to, pick ourselves up, dust off the dirt, turn round, and start walking back Home... into our native awareness that God is good. The rest of the story (of the prodigal son) is true: Truth meets us on the way back (to ourselves) step for step; but not until, and as we take each of these steps (away from ourselves)
Here's a suggestion for everyone who wants to start walking in the right direction: catch whatever wants to complain to you about your life, turn your back on it, and walk away from it without looking back... no matter what it tells you is at stake.
One last thing: the only thing you have "failed" to do is see that who you are, you true "I" can't fail any more than the sun will fail to rise. Start over. Start over. Start over.
