“Surrender”
Shush; Be Quiet!
It is January 1st
and we have entered into the New Year of 2014; wow, time really flies by when
you are enjoying life. I was thinking about how we celebrate and deal with the
coming in of the New Year this morning after my Sacred Time, and this is what
came to mind. We need to place as much importance and maybe even more importance
on each new day we are blessed with. Every year we make resolutions for the New
Year; and how many of those resolutions do we see through successfully? We need
to concentrate on the now, each new moment of each new day that we are blessed
with, and nothing more. We need to surrender to our current reality, which is
more than enough for us to handle. Why do you think it is that we are unable to
keep the majority of our resolutions? It is because we overload our plates with
things and set ourselves up for failure in doing so. We must be realistic and
deal with the now. We must surrender to the current moment, and stay focused on
only that, that is the only way for us to truly be as successful as we can be.
There are many doing a review
of the past years experiences. Why must we do that? We need to just release the
old and surrender completely to the new. Rehashing what was or wasn’t done last
year, last week, or even yesterday does not change a thing. We must stay
focused in the now. Each morning I wake to s new day, I experience a complete
resurrection; I actually enter into a complete new existence. What a glorious
blessing that is, and we all experience that. Since that is our reality we have
the ability to recreate ourselves every day of life that we are given. It does
not matter what we did or didn’t do yesterday or an hour ago, we can totally
transform our life experience by grabbing hold of the current moment, and then
molding it into exactly what we want. We can and must create our reality in the
way that we desire it to be. Either we go after our dreams and visions and make
them our reality, or we are going to help make someone else’s dream and vision
a reality. The only thing stopping us from successfully accomplishing our goals
is our focus. To reach the mark we have for ourselves, we must be fine-tuned spiritually
and focus properly to reach our desired destination. There is nothing that can
stop us but us. It may seem like someone else did this or that which kept us
from reaching our goals. However, that would never be possible if we did not
provide someone or something the ability to get in the way.
Here is one of the keys
to successfully living each day of our lives, live each day, each moment as if
it were our last day, our last moment here on earth as a living being. If today
were your last day on earth, it would be to your advantage not to waste a
single second procrastinating, or not being totally truthful and completely
passionate about that which you are doing. You would also want to share with
every family member and every friend you came in contact with the love that you
have for her or him, there wouldn’t be a second to waste. Well, this could be
the last day that we have to do so, we are not guaranteed a single second
beyond the present moment. So, it is of the utmost importance that we live each
day as if it were our last day. It may not matter to us after we are gone what
we did the last day of our lives. However, it could make a world of difference
to someone we leave behind what we did and said before we make transition from
this physical existence. Sharing our love openly and completely can be life a
lifesaver to some. So lets stop playing the game of life and start living the
reality and blessing of life. If it turns out that it is not our last day of
life, not only will those we love and communicate that love to be blessed, we will
be blessed from our love also; everyone will benefit from our love and be
blessed by it. Then that will mean that we will have more love and energy to
share the next day of our life.
You and I make this thing
called life difficult, by way of what we do and do not do. We are the creators
of our reality, so if we make a mis-take in our creation, as soon as we realize
what we have done, we can re-create it, as it should be. Could it be just that
simple? It is just that simple, however we must know that and act on that. We
must move through and relax in the reality that we are the creators of our
surrounding world of reality. No one can dictate how things are going to be in
our lives and our surrounding worlds unless we give them the creative ability
to do so. To fully comprehend that we must first still ourselves and silence
all of the chaotic chatter that is going on in our minds. We must learn how to
embrace the silence once again. I remember driving down the street one day
trying to find something to listen to on the radio, and was complaining to
myself that there was nothing I wanted to listen to on the air. Then it came to
me, why must there always be something going on; why must there always be
music, conversation, or some kind of noise? What has happened to the times of
silence? Our minds and our spirits need the silence. With all of the chaotic
chatter going on, we cannot differentiate the difference between our thoughts and
all of the chatter. In addition, we cannot hear the Sacred Direction that comes
to us in that small still voice without the silence. Religion even teaches that;
“be still and know that I am God”. To be still does not just mean there shouldn’t
be any motion, it also means that there should be silence. Why is it that a
teacher does not allow every student in the classroom to talk with each other
when she is teaching? The main reason is because they will not hear or fully
comprehend what she is teaching them. We literally need to shush ourselves from
time to time to be able to hear the divine direction being given to us by Spirit. Most of the time we are not
saying anything anyway.
It is a dis-grace not to
be able to hear the direction the Spirit is sharing with us each and every day
of our lives. We must turn that dis-grace back into grace, by being still and
hearing the Sacred Direction that is designed to save us from us. We are but
children trying to find our way, and because of that we need the Divine Direction
that is being offered to us daily. However, we must be properly prepare to
receive and hold that Divine Direction if it is going to do us any good. So let
us learn to practice the silence daily, and treat every day like it is, a new
beginning in which we have the power to mold to our benefit. If we practice the
silence, and heed the Divine Direction that comes to us, we will always desire
to create that which will not only benefit us, but that which will also benefit
the whole of creation. So there are no more New Year celebrations for me,
because I will be celebrating every day in the way that I used to celebrate the
coming in of a new year. Hey, time is man’s feeble limited creation anyway. There
is no time; there is only the infinite flow of eternity. In truth, there is no
beginning and no end, just Divine Flow; that is what eternity is and that is
our reality.
