But I am
suggesting that life is so much easier to let people be. Let people be whoever they wish to be and
live, anyway they choose. When they ask
for help it becomes our choice. Once
again we return to the power of thought.
Would you or I be responsible for another’s thought, for their
perceptions of life, for the choices they make, for the roads they walk? We have our hands full making our own
choices, and the God-power that thought evokes is better spent other places,
like living a joyful life, like seeking the good in everything.
Champions
may acknowledge the opportunity of defeat, but they focus and use their God-power
on the victory of love, which brings us to the big picture, again, the big picture. What do you see? Where are you in the big picture? If you do not see it, it cannot serve
you. Every harp plays its own tune; whether
there exists dissonance or not is unimportant.
The greatest significance is compassion; the power of listening is much
greater than the power of attempting to rush in to solve something. The new teachers encourage the individual to
heal, to recognize, to bring forth their own Christ-love healing.
We would
like to believe we all want the best. Be
careful about creating darkness in the guise of knowing what is best for. So we must be responsible and truly examine
what we feel is the best. The best for
me is to be joyful and happy, yet that may be lifetimes different than what one
soul has come here to learn. Extending
unconditional love is its own reward, is its own healing balm, is all it needs
to be.
There is a
mercy in detachment. A space is created
wherein miracles might occur. Diligence
pays off, my beloveds. We all eventually
climb the mountain and every heart makes that last leap, and eventually we all
see the fire that burns so bravely in the darkness. It makes life a lot easier. I almost sounded serious!
