Lately, as I've read about politics,
chicken sandwiches, banks, and all the "they did this"finger
pointing, I keep thinking of what Ernest Holmes said in his famous
"Sermon by the Sea" speech:
"Find me one person who is for
something and against nothing, who is redeemed enough not to condemn
others out of the burden of his soul, and I will find another savior,
another Jesus, and an exalted human being."
How do I become
that person? What comes to me is one of don Miguel Ruiz' Four
Agreements
"Don't take
anything personally."
I know this is hard
to do, especially when it seems like we're the ones that others are
against ...
however, one of the
things I learned from Emma Curtis Hopkins is that everyone is always
doing what they think is right, and we live in a country where they
have the right to do that.
Perhaps we have to
let go of fearing that the ones speaking the loudest, or who have the
most money, will make us think a certain way. That's impossible. No
one can make us believe anything unless we let them.
Perhaps we're
afraid that if we don't fight, the world will change in ways we don't
want it to. The world will change whether we fight or not - that's
the only constant here - and we may or may not like the way it
changes.
Each of us must do what's right in our hearts. I'm hoping
that we're growing in conscious so we don't try to fight fire with
fire -- indeed - I don't want us to fight at all. I want us to stand
in the Truth of our being - To know in our heart of hearts what's
right for us, and to move toward it in ways that are peaceful.
"This
country has a fantastic destiny. I still say to people, “What is
the meaning of USA?” It’s not United States of America. It’s
ultimate state of awareness."
- Her Holiness Sai Maa
SPIRITUAL MIND
TREATMENT
There is That Within Us that is always working for the greater good
for all. I choose to believe this is True, and I open myself to be a
conscious vehicle for it. I know Love is the greatest healing agent
in the universe, so I let go of fear, of hate, of resentment, etc.,
and just Love.
I declare that everything is happening for our highest good. I don't
necessarily know what that looks like, but I am willing to be a part
of it. I start by being conscious of how I am treating people,
whether or not I am giving them safe passage through my mind.
I celebrate the Divine always, in all ways, and in all people. How
grateful I am that I can do this.
I release these words into the Law of Mind, knowing they are done,
and so it is.
