‘Being’ discussed in previous post is life itself. Our source. And, it is infinite.

I compared life to a bubbling spring of pure water; a vast ocean foaming and fizzing- teeming with living things. So, it follows that the Being is like the things made: Gentle and sustaining us in our wilderness experiences. But, also full of fun and adventure like a great ocean. Large and Loving!

I have some sailing experience. I don’t want to drown, of course. So, it seems I am rather less competent and up-to-the- task at hand than I have learned to think.

If a person wants to survive using one’s brain is required. But, as I mentioned previously- logic has its limits. Engaging with the Almighty can’t necessarily be ‘figured out’ or planned, systematized, and controlled which seems what happens in a hyper-logic controlled world. A relationship must be experienced.

God isn’t a system- He’s a Being. The Life Source. He is my home in one respect, my Origin. After not really ‘belonging’ anywhere before, I found now where I belong.

It seems appropriate then to offer a kind of gift. Starting with “thank you” and remembering to be sorry for ever acting in a way that is harmful to myself and others. That is a continual kind of process to reign in destructive behaviors and learn new ones.

Also, it makes sense if I have been living separate from my Life Source, surviving barely on my own, how far diminished in capacity am I? It’s like how muscles deteriorate as we age if we don’t develop and strengthen them. I must have muscles I’ve never used, or didn’t know I had. And, I can do things I never dreamed possible if I explore my potential and develop it.

It may be that the difference between a relationship with the Almighty, Who is Love, and what becomes a religious system is who is in control?

Humans love their controlled environments- I am as guilty of that as anyone. After all, we are made in the image of one Who brings order out of chaos.

The fakers, the World Controllers, the Masters of the Universe (self-styled) claim they bring order out of chaos. That is their secret society mantra. But, it’s nothing but a bit of the thievery.

Embarrassing really, the Bill Gates’ of this world. Not doing all that great a job of controlling, mastering, or bringing order out of anything. It seems the powerful people are just creating more chaos to me!

Anyway, the question for today: Who is in control? If vanity, pride, greedy ambition is in control, I am acting out of love and diminishing my own life capacity. Then, I will reap what I sow. (That I have learned since long ago is very unpleasant.)

Cooperate with Life Itself. Appreciate and value my gifts, skills, resources, and energy. Develop them. Make good use of them. Expect opportunities to arise as my skills increase!

Breath in breath out. Leave the big things in the hands of the Almighty for today. Thank you!
