Food for Thought
IF THIS WERE THE DOOR TO YOUR AWAKENING, WOULD YOU TAKE IT?
The quickest way through a difficult, challenging or 'impossible' life situation is to find your genuine Yes to it. Resistance is hell. Which is not to say it is wrong - just that it is a layer of add-on pain created by our minds and perceptions, and it can miraculously shift and transmute. The shift from No to Yes, from fear to love - which is really, a kind of warm allowance - is how our 'stuff' dissolves. So this... is the question that just dropped in for these situations: (I recommend really letting these go in deeply.)
'If this were the door to your awakening, would you take it?'
.........
Breathe and feel what's true for you. Let your answer sink in. If the answer is Yes:
'Would you drag your heels, and put the brakes on as you moved through the door?'
Feel your deepest answer to this..
'Would you trust the door?'
'Would you recognise the door was the answer to your own deepest prayer to awaken?'
Again, breathe and feel what's true for you. Let your answer be felt and received throughout your being.
And see what is left now.
.........
Shared with love to everyone who's being challenged at a personality level, by what they have created and sent to themselves from a soul level....
May we remember: It's happening *for* us, and *from* us; not *to* us.
And if these words mean nothing to you or are provoking, then chuck them out the window...
Happy Friday everyone and gentle hugszzzz to all!

Happy Friday Hugs to you too! Being consciously aware that you are having fears of possible future whose outcome cannot be determined until it happens can allow us to change our automatic habit resistance to an open opportunity to learn either outcome. CORRECT?
I\'m not sure I understand what you are saying Rich?
The change in attitude to feeling what\'s happening outside is *for* us, we are not causing it to happen (*from* us; control, reward, ego, magical powers) and we\'re not the victims (*to* us, our guilty ego or perfectionistic superego) either. All is for our benefit somehow. Experience it as that, a possible gift, instead of resisting and judging every challenge with fear-emotions, an expected punishment.
I just had an intuitive idea, that I\'m in the habit of feeling that if I don\'t get exactly what I want/prefer, then I automatically feel I\'m being punished. So challenges are viewed, by me, as a threat. I deny the possibility of it being *for* my benefit. Is that it?
Maybe I\'m mixing my metafours.
Thanks Vicki! This is wonderful xxx
