The one where you stretch your understanding of what gratitude is actually for…

“Are you ready to have your world rocked?
Forgiveness must involve a complete re-translation of everything
that you believe and perceive.” —David Hoffmeister, Unwind Your Mind.

If sleeping is the problem then sometimes a wake-up call is the answer! You don’t always know what you need, so getting what you want isn’t always truly helpful. Even with the explicit intention of sitting down at 9am to do accounting for innocence, no one expects their accountant to suddenly reveal at 9:10am on tax return day that they can only get a $3,000 deduction despite their massive business loss and so still owe the government in a very lean year of undoing. But that’s the gift of total responsibility—full awareness. And no one expects that five minutes later a text alert stating they have had $200 fraudulently removed from their checking account will emphasize a portal opening to the eternal, but that’s what 15 minutes of focussed forgiveness offers!

Divine Providence, don’t you love it?
Everything you need for awakening, when you need it—freely given! 🙂

So what of this hissing fuse in a stack of dynamite? What purpose has time in shaping up those with the subtle ears to hear? Attention, absolute focus and present moment necessity. Don’t underestimate the PUSH AWAY. Smoothing over how you feel will not help you now. This is not a Course in mantras so no need to metaphysically ghost.

It doesn’t get more practical than seeing that this world is an outward picturing of an inward condition. Once you realize that “this” is a symbolic map of the mind then you can dispense with the guilt and shame and focus solely on taking the correction. Save lifetimes. Ditch the banal and mundane experience of life and enter a world rightly seen as fiction with a benevolent fairytale quality infusing every detail of your life. Be the prodigal Son joyfully returning home. There may seem to be hazards like witches, wizards and warlocks but this is the guaranteed Way in which all things are seen as working together for good! The promise is “…no stones will be left to trip you” the caveat is “that don’t throw you out of compassion into the arms of the Beloved!” That’s what trust is. Not a complacent waiting till form lines up as you imagine it “needs” to be for you be happy. Undoing will take your breath away, first like a winding sucker punch to the ego and then like a deep awakening kiss from the prince of peace.

He will go before you making straight your path,
and leaving in your way no stones to trip on,
and no obstacles to bar your way.
Nothing you need will be denied you.

Prepare to be swept off your feet by the Spirit, but don’t judge the method, as means and end are together. “It is with your thoughts, then, that we must work, if your perception of the world is to be changed. If the cause of the world you see is attack thoughts, you must learn that it is these thoughts which you do not want. There is no point in lamenting the world.” Disillusionment rocks!

Have I got your attention?

So what is this plan of awakening? People are always asking me how it will look? My answer: HAPPY! Yes I know they are seeking for guaranteed form outcomes but there is no happiness in situational thinking. What they are really asking is “what will I get out of this?” The answer is no-thing. You have already been given everything.  That is your inheritance, “Anything you could ever want or be you already have and are.” ―David O. Russell, I Heart Huckabees: Shooting Script

What they really need to ask is how can I serve? Only this will allow them to remember who they are and accept what has been Given.

What is SERVICE?

The goal? Restoration of the Kingdom in awareness!

The guide? The Holy Spirit.

The means? Forgiveness.

The method? Practical application through relationship.

The chosen? Anyone who choses to listen.

So what does the plan for happy look like on a daily basis? Face the discomfort, particularly in the small. Minor is major. Use the keys of awakening to open and listen. “There are many answers you have already received but have not yet heard.” Tending to the precise intimately guided steps of the Spirit allows us to simply follow by putting one foot in front of the other. This mindful kiss-walk allows each footstep to be placed steadily one in front of the other. There is no need to fall but if we continue to “throw stones” then our subconscious is simply trying to bring self sabotaging beliefs to awareness.

I always love to hear peoples stories of the fall, that leveling moment of supreme humbleness when they realized they didn’t have all the answers, enough money in the bank or good enough looks to get them out of a scrape. The earlier it comes the better. Tender and torn they stumble looking around for a fall guy—but there’s no one to be blamed. The stark realization that the world is not as it seems can be startling yet awakening. Pride is not an attribute of forgiveness. Personal achievement is not the answer. Higher self esteem is not the goal.

Sometimes it is the seeming loss of a loved one that rocks the self-concept, perhaps a business failure, or a consistent disappointment in love. Whatever the trip, be it drug induced or a rock slide when viewed with the Vision of the Spirit it has a singular purpose—Forgiveness. Aligning with this purpose as we move forward is the answer. The miracle is reparative and works backwards and forwards aligning all story lines and subplots into a seamless parable of awakening. Trust is also instantly, Way more fun than being a victim of the world!

“Why would you do it if it wasn’t any fun?” —Sound of the SUn

Ready for an epic adventure? “Forgiveness offers me everything I want.”
