True Knowledge acts as a savior. True knowledge is eternal and unchangeable. It redeems and saves and brings us into right perspective of who we are. It is important to study ourselves everyday. When we are open to receiving guidance from God, everything in our lives makes perfect sense. We not only know what is right and what is wrong - though right and wrong are only concepts for the time being - we can begin to unravel the essence of who we truly are and the role that other souls play in our lives to constantly help us to deeply recognize who we are at the very depth of our being.
Whatever anyone does to us is of little consequence actually. It is being done to us not because we are being 'bad' but because we have chosen this experience as a means of learning that we are not the ego, but instead we are creations of God. We need to know this for ourselves. Its easy to read what Scriptures and Sages say and accept what they say to be true about ourselves rather than us going through the grinding mill, but where is the personal knowing and experiencing and flowing and loving ..... ??? Why would we want to not have these blissful experiences like the great ones who have gone ahead of us? Why should we just accept as truth something that we have not experienced or experimented with? We cannot join this Heaven Club if we have not discovered Heaven for ourselves. Every moment offers that opportunity. When the ego gets its way, we loose joy temporarily. When we choose heart based living, we begin to experience the unknown in such unique and personal ways. When seen this way, life becomes a thrilling adventure. As soon as we recognize the Face of God behind each soul we interact with no matter what the relationship, we become closer to God. When we distance ourselves from each other, we distance ourselves from God. Its not an either/or situation. God is not an option really. God is the only choice. Free will is the will to choose God.
This is the biggest lesson I am learning now. In my heart I can go right into my past and bless all those whom I distanced myself from. Loving them is loving me. It is essential. Departing from this love is departing from my own spirit. This is Gratitude. This is Love. Or what I have learned so far. I have only just peeped into the Eternal. I am so completely open to let in the Light as I open the door more wider each moment.
