I am grateful for the gifts of God. I am grateful for miracles. I am grateful for grand children.
I am grateful to have met another new neighbor who stopped to be friendly while I was refueling my red convertible (lawn mower.) I think the place in the course is lesson 155 where it says: “And the one that walks the world as you do recognize their own. Yet those who have not perceived the way will recognize you also, and believe that you are like them, as you were before.”
She “took” the course, did not take to it, but knows about it as a wannabe X catholic. I can always tell when someone says that they “took” the course once…that there was not at this “now” time an investment in it as their spiritual way of life. But she is really open to all the things that I do in my vertical aligning. She asked the questions…she knew the ones to ask.
This awareness with new acquaintance or friends prevails many times. I never cease to grin.
I am grateful for this lesson #155… “I will step back and let Him lead the way.”
There is a way of living in the world that is not here, although it seems to be. I do not change appearance, though I smile more frequently. My forehead is serene; my eyes are quiet. And the ones who walk the world as I do recognize their own. Yet those who have not yet perceived the way will recognize you also, and believe that I am like them, as I was before.
The (ego) world is an illusion. Those (of us) who choose to come to it are seeking for a place where we can be illusions, and avoid our own reality. Yet when we find our own reality is even here, then we step back and let “it” lead the way. What other choice is really ours to make? To let illusions walk ahead of truth is madness. But to let illusion sink behind the truth and let the truth stand forth as what it is, is merely sanity.
This is the simple choice we make today.
Me? oh yeah? Simple eh? Very few things do I find simple. It is simple to remain vertically minded…it is simple to not invest in just how vertical minded that I may or may be…I just am…and this is rell.
