Thy Will Be Done: Being Guided into the Flow

I get really afraid in my head with “right, wrong, should, shouldn’t.” And I’m so afraid of losing myself.

Fearlessness knows that there is nothing to hang on to, anywhere. There is only following the flow and the path of love. That is all there is. Through our intuition, the part of ourselves that is God, we are guided in the flow in a very intuitive way, and we can make decisions when we need to; we can shift on a dime, if need be. 

Losing oneself can feel very scary. Yesterday was Saturday, and things were a bit more laid back around here. We all got up, and after a while my mother was washed and dressed, my husband was up and showered and dressed, the dogs were fed and walked, and I looked like a little ratty person in my nightclothes. I was not done yet because I had been helping everyone else. If I had been able to be really open, I would have been happy about it. But part of me got the best of me, and I said to my husband, “Well, welcome to my world.” I said that because I saw that everybody else was done, and they were all set, doing their thing.

That was an example of a limiting thought that I had in that moment. If I had not limited myself, I would have just said, “Here’s my blessing, my great blessing. I said I would in life, and I do, and I will.” When we are surrendered, we do lose ourselves. We do. It is either Thy will be done or it is My will be done. And My will be done gets lost if we surrender to Thy will. It is classic; it is the crucifixion, the death of the ego.

Living a Conscious Life

I’ve been thinking about Lent and what Jesus the Christ must have been dealing with and going through in those forty days in the desert. 

Yes—and the Buddha under the Bodhi tree! That is where they both—Christ in the desert and Buddha under the Bodhi tree—met all their demons. What are your demons?  Your demons are your fears! And you do not even know what your unconscious fears are until you sit still. Buddha sat under the Bodhi tree and did not move so he could meet himself.  Christ went into the desert without food and water.  When it is just between you and God, the real stuff – the unconscious - gets revealed.  At those times, your unconsciousness and your unconscious motivators can reveal themselves to you.

It is possible to go through life unconsciously and still live a wonderful life. Most people live unconsciously. What does it mean to live unconsciously?  It means that you make a plan and do your best to follow it. That is how we all start out, and that is what most people revert to.

So what is a conscious life? What does it mean to live consciously? In a conscious life,  you  open the door of your heart to the energy, resonance and  light from which it came, in order to be guided and loved in a way that is far beyond your wildest dreams, beyond what you could ever imagine or manipulate or make up for yourself. That is where all the magic happens because it is not you, in your small self, trying to make it all happen. It is you merging with the God Self from which you came, feeling that, and then allowing yourself to be guided into that flow.
