Greetings,
I listen to the news, get a little discombobulated, take a break from the outside world, and come back to give it another shot. It ain't easy, sometimes I do not honestly know if I even want to do this for another day. Nevertheless I settle in for the night, sleep, dream, and wake up to give it another go. I have been reading Messages From Michael (Yarbro, 1979), what a trip this read is, offers a whole different perspective to view this seemingly sick and disruptive world. I do not know for certain but think I am an old slave soul in search of acceptance (on my part and from others), if not, that is what I hope I am accomplishing in this life. That thought caused me to think of a write from 2004 that I want to share with you:
Simple Servant
Yes my tears are swift to fall
with purpose and with meaning
Sometimes the purpose
expressions of joy
some are of sorrow
Some are made known
this moment
this day
Some can wait until tomorrow
I pray for you always
I pray for myself the same way
To become the loyal servant
not to stay the saddened slave
Having thoughts of
how can this be
Living outside the mess created in my mind
Sometimes living in the loneliness
of dark and unhappy times
I pray for you always
Please
Pray for me the same way
To become the contented servant
not to stay the saddened slave
To see the process of becoming
The progress made in loving
These tears are prayers for you always
Please pray for me the same way
To become the simple servant
not to stay the saddened slave.

We all have purpose and meaning that few can be aware of without investigating deeply by following leads provided via dimensions that are available for the asking. Resources are open to anyone in search of answers to core questions I am hoping many will sincerely seek. I am aware that such a quest goes on the very long list of things that are simple but not easy for the vast majority of we humans living in a complex, distraction-filled world. If one will take a moment here, a moment there, he or she is guaranteed to discover just how generous the Universe is to those who seek knowledge and wisdom. Have patience, what is asked will be answered, what is sought will be found, what is needed will be provided, what is wanted can be satisfied (where have we heard this before).
While I was reading The Divine Matrix (Braden, 2007), a spark urged me to sit in the quiet and simply listen, an exercise I then realized I had few skills to stick with. Over a short period of time I became disciplined just enough to experience the benefit of sitting in the quiet and listening that I have come to view as a passive surrender. This reward was all it took to encourage sustained effort to further clear my mind of daily clutter, a condition I had not been aware of because, well, a consequence of clutter is distraction and confusion for yours truly. The buzz of daily life gets in the way of clarity. I hope all will step away from the clutter to the best of your abilities and allow clam to open doors leading to the path of peace and harmony. Just stop thinking, doing, planning, and intellectualizing for a minute and listen. Best.
