coming into alignment with pure, compassionate action and wise action

I hope you are moved by this passage from Adya's book "Falling into Grace."

"What actually happens when we stop judging, when we stop resisting the flow of our lives, is that we come  into an alignment where we are in a natural and clear relationship with whatever presents itself.  

From this place of alignment, the perspective we come upon is not the perspective that we anticipate.  It's not the fearful place of the ego.  The ego thinks we should become indifferent to everything and uncaring in the face of this nonresistance.  But actually something different happens.  Instead of being uncaring, we actually come into a deeper and more intimate relationship with what's happening.  We become very deeply connected. We find ourselves able, in the moment of someone's actual pain or in the middle of our own suffering, to connect very intimately, very purely, without any resistance.  This opens up a door within us for an entirely different response-a response that's not based in opposition.  Instead, this intimacy and stillness guides us into a very precise and effective type of action, a kind of involvement born out of a deep inner connection with life and with others.  This response is not based in conflict, but in wholeness and oneness. When we're not responding out of conflict, division, and resistance, what manifests is pure compassionate action, wise action that comes from intimacy, stillness and true connection." (Falling into Grace, p. 132-133)

All we have to do is let go of our judgments.  Notice what is happening in your life, what you are feeling about what is happening, but do not stand in judgment nor draw conclusions about what should or shouldn't be happening.  Accept the moment as it is showing up and allow pure, compassionate action to manifest from deep within.      

"come into harmony in life"

"The more conscious we become, the more powerful we become.  We don't necessarily become miracle workers, but as we begin to awaken and our state of consciousness opens, different capabilities within us come online and are available to us.  As you come into harmony in life, then mysteriously, almost miraculously, life seems to come into harmony with you.  There is a sense that everything is unfolding just as it need to, that everything is right on time.  As we let go of trying to control life, trying to force it in the direction that the ego wants it to go, life has a way of literally responding to our state of consciousness.  And that's a miracle-that as your state of consciousness transforms, life's relationship with you transforms as well." (Resurrecting Jesus, p. 124)    

Adya goes on to say that we are already one with all of life...all living things breath the same air, rely on water and sun for life to exist...  When we accept the unity of all of life we can relax into life.

Starting today let's accept what is showing up in each moment, knowing that there is a harmony to our lives and a higher purpose waiting to unfold in every instant.

One of the most powerful ways that I come into harmony with life is by being my most authentic self.  When I express myself honestly and with a willingness to be vulnerable I am letting go of egoic control and my life unfolds as it needs to.

When we live life consciously by accepting what is showing up and being authentic in how we respond, our true power and light emerge..just as God intended.

faith

"To have faith is to let go of control; it's to release the ego's instinct to always be in charge.  So faith opens up that aspect of the ego that wants to control everything and think that it has all the answers.  This is what faith is: an opening of the heart, an opening of the mind.  Jesus knew from his own experience that when you open your heart and mind, you literally open yourself to the healing presence.  You open yourself to that which can transform you, physically, spiritually, and psychologically."  ("Resurrecting Jesus," pp. 98-99).

May I rely on faith rather than ego in this moment.

May the world live by faith rather than ego.

"the most powerful healing balm that exists"

To continue with the theme of forgiveness:

"Forgiveness is probably the greatest healer there is.  When we forgive someone, what we've forgiven we're no longer attached to, no longer controlled by...In the story of Jesus, the ultimate act of forgiveness comes near the end, when Jesus says from the cross, 'Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.' Luke 23:34...And why forgive? Because they know not what they do.  This forgiveness comes from a deep spiritual understanding of the causes of suffering-and also of  those who inflict suffering, for those who inflict suffering have always had suffering inflicted upon them at some prior time. When we start to realize this, our hearts open."  (Ressurecting Jesus, p. 91)    

Notice how often throughout the day you have a need to practice forgiveness.

"It's Jesus' greatest gift, the most powerful healing balm that exists."  (p.91)
