Be Present
Today, I’m really staying in process by being present to what is – bearing with things as the earth bears with us, by yielding, by accepting, by nourishing.
This place in between, the complement between the dark and the light. The dark that is illuminated by light, the earth, which receives the blessings of heaven, the vessel into which nourishment flows. This is a time to follow rather than lead, to assist rather than initiate, to listen rather than talk.
I shall redevote myself to the cultivation of modesty, receptivity and gentleness now and let go of concerns about the conduct of others or the progress of my worldly ambitions.
The wisdom of cultivating receptivity cannot be overstated, like the rich earth without which my higher power cannot take root in my life. It serves as strong encouragement for me to concentrate on my capacities to nourish, to support to work without desiring recognition, to flow my inner guidance.
We all can benefit greatly in a period like this from time spent in solitude, in quietness we have an opportunity to focus on the purification of our heats and minds, It is a good time to ask oneself, “ Am I sincerely pursuing the good for its own sake – or do I have a hidden agenda?” If so, we must detach from it and return to the path of illumination, independence and balance. Through humility and openness do we become receptive to the assistance of the Higher Power.
Ceasing the resistance to the course of events will always help one to return to the reliance on proper principles.
The solution to every situation is always available. By remaining open, innocent and moderate do you allow the creative force to aid you. Do less not more.
Vanity is an obstacle to the expression of our superior selves. We must hold to the inner truth without regard for popular opinion. Sincerity and humility open the way to good fortune that cannot enter where arrogance flourishes.
Concentrate not a having an influence but on doing the work of letting The Creative flow though you.
Today – I find that it is dangerous to engage in thoughts and actions of the ego. Indulgence of negative emotion can bring misfortune, so it is worthwhile to bear witness in receptivity, reticence and humility.
Blessed be.
