My Soul is "On Assignment"

The difference between being human and remembering that we are actually Spirits having a human experience is;
CONTROL
 
As humans, we love control, we feel that we are in total control of everything that is happening- when it happens- and to whom it will happen.....lol
 
Being a human who knows that they are a soul that is "on assignment" -is that we see that there is a current, that there is a reason for where we are at any given time and what happens is really about lessons for everyone involved, including ourselves..
 
As Spirit we see the outcome as  "just what it is".
 
We are less attached to "making things happen" and become more an observer as to "why is this happening?"
 
I always say, as humans we meet resistance and "try harder"...but with our spiritual eye we need to see meeting difficulty as the Universe saying "time to let go" you're in the way of what needs to be...
 
We are in the time of year that is governed by Hawk...
 
Rise higher, look at the resistance to your pushing as  the Universe telling you to- 
 let go....go with the flow....let go and let god.....or whatever little reminder that will bring you into a peaceful place of surrendering your human need to control the outcome..
 
It will be a relief and bring peace....Trust me :)
 
Here is the thought for the day:

Serenity Prayer: In it's entirety.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;

Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next. Amen.

Serenity Prayer: What does it mean?
This beautiful prayer was written by a man named Reinhold Niebuhr in 1943. The words have special meaning to those who are often “looking for peace” at a time of turmoil, despair, or uncertainty in their lives. This prayer has become closely associated with 12 Step programs, offering strength and calm in pursuit of a more stable life.

Namaste,
Marianne Goldweber

Control is nothing but an illusion. The concept that the soul exists separate from the body is an idea from Western Culture. All times exist concurrently. You're right about getting out of your own way.

Personally, I think that perfect trust, as the cliche goes, is the best answer. Trust that you will be where you need to be, doing what you need to be doing when you need to be there. Trust like that opens you to be a channel for the Universe.

Understanding what true love, the kind of love Source or Universe (or God or Goddes or whatever) is a good first step as well. Knowing that Source loves your <<enemy>> as much as It loves you and then feeling how it can love that person that much is incredible.

Peace out.

Thank you for your insight..I find that when we are trying to "control, or manipulate some situation, it acts like a diversion from other things that really do need our attention. The human illusion is powerful.....
