Riding Out the Storm

What do we do as life crushes in on us? It is so easy to stand in the Light when the flow is with us, but when life sends us bruising events, how are we to respond? If God is within us, how are we to reach him during those times? Can we?

It is during these times that we are so close to the Light of God and don’t realize it. "Our attention drawn outward", as Kirpal Singh states, "causes us to lose the connection to the Light within". If we understand that God is Consciousness and Consciousness is energy and energy is everything, then we would realize that these events have God in them. They enable us to move from one extreme of emotion or thought to another, all with the purpose of unity and balance.

 

Throughout our lives we encounter many storms, whether caused by illness, death, ending of relationships or other tragedies that may happen in our lives. Each event, whether we anticipate or reel from its actual consequence, hits us with a tidal wave of emotion and thought. These moments open our hearts to the true love, the real love of others and of Self. We have no control over another’s life, we only have the ability to control our emotions and mind to open us to the infinite possibilities of the Love of Light. At times like these we must hand our fear and worries for those we love over to God and ask all the Divine Beings that serve God to hold, heal and protect us and to help us understand, so that these events, these experiences, can be turned to wisdom and that we may receive the enlightenment that comes with them.

Still the fear in your heart if you can, and replace it with the Love for someone you hold very dear to you, fill up with that Love and then ask God to take over.   It is all it takes.

 

Bless you all!
