Re: Mind's Eye Re: Tired With the Intenet

I think like Abraham, we have to give it all up before we get it all back, (and then some) and this occurs to me daily. In terms of politics and economics, the game is rigged and yet, I do just fine. Is it because my expectations are few, or because in spirit, I could give life as I know it up today, or remove my will to allow the divine? What I have learned is that I am called to action in the moment.  And because collectively, one moment leads to the next, my course of action is set by answering the call.  Recognizing the call can be tricky.  

I was introduced to Our Lady of Guadalupe a couple years ago in Santa Fe.  I was excited, because I found the story to be much like the "woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars" - a line from Revelation that has occupied my contemplation for many years. In Our Lady's story, she was asked (by an angel) to give up what she was doing, something she believed in, to do something else.  It is easy for fear to set in when this comes into our lives, easy to not hear the call. But I think that both Our Lady of Guadalupe and the woman clothed in the sun are stories of the ascension of the holy spirit within us.  There can be no growth, without willingness to place our will aside and express divine will, requiring the wisdom to know the difference (until they are one in the same.)

I often wonder if the models of politics and economy in our experience, at this point, don't fall into place in service of divine will.  All provide the myriad levels of experience that allow growth.  If we all started out ascended, no growth would be necessary.  Seeing ourselves as perfect at every level is often difficult.  Fear, frustration, confusion and the rest overwhelm. Especially driving home from work. (there are more bad drivers in Detroit than anyone can imagine!) But it all allows us to feel, and feeling our experience in relation to our action and reaction allows us to understand self will and divine will because we feel it as expressed.

We know what the problems are, the real question is what are different possible solutions. We have a hilltop from which to let our candle light the world. Now the question is are we sheep being lead to the slaughter, or do we have the courage wrong, backing our words with personal actions and wealth.
