Be still a moment. Just be still. How often do we go plowing through life, not really thinking our choices and decisions through? We make split second choices, not pausing to think whether they are what we really want. We often don’t stop to consider what the outcome might be. And whether that outcome is what we really want. What do we really want? What is our intention? Is the choice we are making in this moment really going to lead us to the ultimate outcome we really want? Or are we only looking to the outcome jus a short distance down the path?
The one we are encountering right now. The one we are currently experiencing in our life. This one is the one who we have the opportunity to heal our relationship with. This is the one we have choices to make with. This is the one who is to teach us the perfect lesson at this moment in this situation. We’ve made up roles for each other. Some of those roles mesh and we play the well and successfully. But some of those roles don’t work well together. The roles clash. We both try to play the same role and then feel let down, angry, or disappointed when the other doesn’t do for us what we think they should. What have they done? What have we done? Or perhaps what have we not done?
Again, take a moment and be still. Let go of what was supposed to happen, what they or we were supposed to do. What did we see? Did we take the time to look beyond the appearances we thought we saw? Did we ask for guidance in making the choices and decisions we made?
Beyond the choices we thought we saw was another choice. Beyond the appearance of the one we have engaged with is a different view. We are so focused on the immediate appearance of our brother, our sister, that we miss ourselves beyond their appearance. We are missing the fact that we are actually one, joined. We have missed the vision of who we really are and who they really are. Let’s set our thoughts aside a moment. Let’s ask ourselves if the answer we give another is the one we are looking for. And ask ourselves if what we learn of another is what we learn of ourselves. Stop a moment and forget everything we thought we heard, and remember how much we don’t know in this state of separation and split-mindedness.
Look beyond the appearance of separateness. Look to the One that is you and that one joined. Look to the One who walks beside us always, as near or as far away as we are willing to see them. Listen to the tender call from the One. In this instant is our true identity remembered, is our Divinity recognized. Only this one can restore our memory. And as our memory is restored, theirs is also restored. And so it is with the next and the next as we move through this world. We restore each others’ soul. What more could we want? Each thing we do manifests this recognition if we will approach it with the thoughtfulness of taking that moment to be still and to let Spirit guide us. Let it be so in your life and another’s life and be the One that Source created.
