Reflect: Share something from the lesson that blew your mind, or even just gave you a new perspective.

Knowing that there is no other force causing our problems and that the Creator does all things gave me a new perspective. Now I don’t have to blame anyone for my misfortunes.

Read some of the responses and I loved loved loved them. I loved the barrel one and the one that put it so simply, just act as if you already know and he reveals himself jejeje… so grateful.

Realizing the importance of revealing the Creator behind every thought, sensation, and experience. In truth, we do not reveal him. Instead, we are called to act “as if” the Creator is everything. This provides him with contentment, and he eventually reveals himself, bit by bit.

The perspective that my individual actions are not as important as the intention behind them seems like a double edged sword. While it helps with not getting hung-up on actions that I regret and can’t change, it also makes me realize just how hard it is to change my intention. Its like an asteroid flying through space at a great speed, the amount of effort it takes to stop it going in that direction is terrifying. Then when it starts to go in another direction, it needs to make sure the direction its going in is the correct once, or else its going to have to take tremendous effort to stop again.

I love the concept of a prayer as a gut-level need, words are not required.

The deep need for the Light (in Lishma) is THE prayer, just for this there can be no other answer but the thing desired for. That desire will open a place in which the perception of the Creator can occur.

This story/experience that came and blown my mind:

 

Inside our 5-senses box with no other opening, we feel like in a barrel in the middle of the ocean.

Imagine that you were dreaming and just now you wake up and find out that all around you, outside the barrel, is only an endless ocean and nothing else. But you don’t know what this ocean is made of, it’s certainly not water, it’s something you’re told is the all-encompassing light you’ve never seen before. Of course, you would be terrified, horrified and would never want to get out of your barrel, not knowing what it’s all about and not being able to prove or probe anything.

However, bored and drained of life in the darkness of the barrel, you decide to do something and through a courageous effort, you make a small opening in the wall of the barrel no larger than a needle tip. At that moment something miraculous happens. A small ray of light from outside enters and you feel extraordinarily good and at peace for a moment. Once you come in contact with this light you begin to understand what that ocean is, but at first only as a vague idea, as a distant aroma.

Now you want to get out of the barrel as soon as possible. But you find that its walls are very thick, requiring some work, effort and understanding to break through. Once again you feel hopeless, disappointed and lost. But you remember the ray of light that entered the barrel and remember how good and marvelous it felt and you’re looking for it again. Rediscovering it lets Him enlighten you with His wisdom and power. And suddenly you realize that the barrel doesn’t even matter anymore, maybe it doesn’t even exist…
