There are days that I wake up and I am so inspired to want to go meditate and have my quiet time with God. There are days when I feel so in the flow, walking with Spirit, being guided every step of the way with what to do and what to say.
And then there is the other 98% of the time.
Like today.
And like yesterday.
And like the day before.
There are so many times when I make excuses for why I can’t take 10
minutes to be still and remember the truth about who I am. It’s quite ridiculous really. I SAY that
quiet time in the morning is the most important part of my day. I say it.
But my actions say otherwise. By
comparison, how often do I go out of the house without taking a shower first? Funny,
isn’t it: I have time to do a physical cleansing every morning, but don’t seem
to make the same time for a spiritual cleansing. And a few days without the spiritual
cleansing and my attitude stinks as bad as my body would after the same period
without some soap and water.
A Course in
Miracles and The Disappearance of the
Universe tell me that my reluctance to get quiet in the morning, even
though I know it would be most helpful, is just a manifestation of my split
mind. The side of my mind that is aligned with the Holy Spirit wants to help me
awaken to the truth that I am home with God. Yet the side of my mind aligned
with the ego wants to stay in control and maintain the false image that I am a
body, not spirit, stuck in a world of problems.
Just writing about it is a great affirmation for me. So please join with
me today in being quiet and being open to the Holy Spirit leading the way.
In Joy,
Michael
