REASONING WITH LIFE We are so possessed by our mind stories that we think that we have to think our way to live. Yet if we notice our breath and if we place our hand on our heart and notice our heart beat, we know that we are not doing the breathing or making the heart to beat. We are being breathed, we are being lived, and we are being moved every moment. There is absolutely nothing we can do to make our heart beat or make it stop beating. There is nothing for us to know, we do not need to pretend to know anything, and we live in absolute safety. Looking at the night sky when we see the millions of stars, there is an awareness of something so deep and so powerful that holds them all in place. Meditation with the outer sky aligns us with our inner sky – our consciousness. We are made aware of the truth of who we are. We have a tendency to want a logical reason for everything in life. We want everything to be explained from the place of blame or from the place of deservedness. Trials and pain are considered to be bad by logic and arguments with life start to block the light of Spirit. Addicted to reasoning, we suffer in search of answers. Life; however, is much grander than logic. The road to healing becomes long and tedious when we live from the place of reasoning with life. There are no logical reasons to explain life situations. Our minds can only see the picture in front of us; therefore, there is no understanding of the greater tapestry of life. Every situation in life is divinely orchestrated and every situation lays the ground work to prepare us for something in the future. Freewill is our gift. We can to choose to relate to life situations by exercising our freewill. We can either choose to be still and allow the Divine Presence to flow through us and heal us, or we can choose to suffer from our mind stories and die to life. When we choose to look at life through the lens of reasoning, we continue to struggle. We think that if we find a reason we can be healed, we can get back our lost jobs, or our lost relationships. But life does not work that way. Many therapies seek to find a reason, but there is no particular reason for anything in life. Doctors are also now finding that common medications do not work the same way for everyone as each individual is unique. Each human is an amazing collection of hundreds of life experiences and hundreds of decisions made at every point throughout life. Hence, to give one reason for any situation is insufficient. ~An Excerpt from "Twelve Steps to Inner Peace" Copyright © 2012 P Rajkumar , S L Christian All rights reserved. amazon/dp/B00BSY853G amzn.to/X0XIzM
