All Are Chosen: Few Choose #16

All Are Chosen: Few Choose

You will read in my soon to be published book, The Fiery Trail to Walking in Prayer: Following Your Personal Spiritual Experiences, that “the divine is always seeking you”. Evidently, this idea is not a common one. Instead, we are taught to seek the Divine, in whatever form you prefer. We must strive to get a connection with the sacred.. We must be good, or devout or somehow worthy to be chosen. Perhaps we must fast or at least eat right. We can’t say “bad words” or feel lust, envy, jealousy, rage, or heaven forbid, hurt anyone. Basically, we must mute the shadow side of our human nature to be worthy. This practice leads to all kinds of strange behavior. 

As many of you know from reading my website and blogs, that I suggest the divine guidance is showing up all the time and our call is to pay attention. I guess it is more than that. Sometimes the divine guidance shows up in ways that can’t be denied, your attention is compelled. You may not heed the message, but it is challenging to erase it. Perhaps you say to yourself, "that was weird" and just go on with your list of tasks at hand. But sometimes the guidance shows up in ways not typically identified as divine. For example, an inconvenience, or disruption in your plans can be a disguised message. It is a matter of expanded perspective. I am still working on this way of being and learning to ask, “What does it mean? It requires one to choose to surrender to the mystery. 

it is a process of spiritual decentering.
