When times are tough
It is easy to give and read advice on the art of living, but not so when everything seems to be tough. That is the hardest time to hear anything. But, that is when a little advice would be helpful.
Tough times require tough medicine: the truth. Every seeming problem boils down to a spiritual problem. Normally, we forget our spiritual nature and see things as me against the world. The truth is that I am Spirit or Consciousness. Everything that is happening is part of that Consciousness. I am Consciousness, perceiving as Consciousness and everything I perceive is part of that Consciousness. Where is the problem?
The idea is to relax. We are like a fist that has been squeezed tight for so long that it seems to take effort to relax the hand. We’re all tight, protecting ourselves in every way that we can, guarding against imagined danger. We need to let it all go.
Life can be an experiment in letting go, trusting in the perfection and understanding that we are not our minds. Need a job for your mind? Give it the job of understanding your spiritual nature. That is a worthy assignment.
