The Hardest Step.
The hardest step on the divine path is surrendering our minds to our developing soul consciousness; particularly our judgemental nature, along with our biases and prejudices. Our foibles often include a tendency to put a label on individuals or groups of people and view them negatively in some manner. Or believing our views on everything are right and that those who disagree are wrong.
Well, what if God disagrees with us? Doesn’t God love us all equally? Isn’t it possible that someone you strongly dislike could at some point in the future become your best friend or unexpectedly help you when you most need it? Aren’t the people and situations we dislike often based on fear or flimsy evidence rather than anything more tangible?
Perhaps we watch all the bad news in the world and wish someone would just assassinate all the evil dictators in the world. But is that actually what God wants?
God wants us to be loving towards all others regardless of who they are or what they’ve done. After long years, I’ve finally accepted that I’ve been wrong and God is right on all these issues. And it’s a tremendous relief, a weight off my shoulders. I can now view the world with more detachment. I don’t have to take sides when it comes to earthly affairs, like a spectator clamouring for their side’s victory at a sporting event. Frankly, being my old self was exhausting. Now, I can just quietly be on God’s side, sending love to all situations in my life and to the whole world, accepting that God’s way is now the only way for me. By doing this, I know I am helping myself and the world. The more loving we are, the more protection we attract to ourselves and others around us, whereas when we radiate negativity, even if we feel it’s justified, we may find it rebounds on us.
At the heart of all these issues is that we don’t have faith that God’s way is right. We may even blame God for giving mankind the freewill to do so much harm in the world. But do we really know best? Great spiritual leaders such as Jesus always tell us to love unconditionally and to do God’s will.
Receiving God’s precious divine love into our soul will eventually remove all of these faults in our personality but we can speed the process up by refusing to indulge in the negative habits that we’ve built up over a lifetime. Some who have passed over to the spirit world while still harbouring strongly negative outlooks have recounted how those earthly beliefs have clung to them as if they have a life of their own and consequently they’ve been extremely hard to remove, thereby preventing them from progressing. It’s wiser to take the matter in hand now to curtail the consequences that flow from wilfully ignoring how God wants us to be for our own highest good.
