Having problems with message search?
By Linda Larsen
So here I am. A "speaker." I am paid to speak. Which means,
logically, that I am paid to think - about what's going on
in the world so that I may, indeed, speak about it.
After the recent horrific events, my first thought was,
"What in the world can I say about all this? What do I
know? How can I make sense out of it?" My next thought was
to look "out there" - to all the experts. I wanted to hear
other words of comfort. I wanted to get some sense of
security from someone of higher wisdom. Oh yes, I had my
thoughts and feelings - but I will honestly admit that
because of the unsettling, unnerving events, I was
beginning to feel a growing sense of fear and deep, deep
concern.
And then I remembered something that David Owen Ritz, my
best friend,and former minister of my church once said. He
said that our greatest teachers have all had one important
quest. And that is - to remind us all of who we are.
And who are we? Really? Consider this:
Every great religion in the world tells us that God is
infinite. And infinite means - everything, everywhere, for
all time, for ever and ever. And "everything, everywhere,
for all time, for ever and ever" includes YOU and ME. Which
logically means that we must share in the qualities of that
infinite intelligence, wisdom and love. "Infinite" does not
mean everything except you - or me. Infinite is all
encompassing.
OK, so if we share in those qualities - then it is indeed
true, that we do not need to look outside ourselves for
answers, for security, for peace, or for wisdom. We have
access to all that. Right here. Right now. The first thing,
then, that you or I need to do is to simply know this to be
true.
It is our fear that drives us to act in hurtful, reactive,
attacking ways. And fear occurs when we forget who we are.
Fear overtakes us when we forget that we are always
connected to that magnificent, loving, protective, powerful
divine intelligence. When we forget that it is omnipresent
and ready to support and love us in greater and greater
ways. It is truly unconditional. We must simply ask to be
shown and then listen for the guidance.
The only "words of wisdom" that I can offer you in this
time of unsettling change, is that you already embody all
the wisdom, power, truth, beauty, compassion and love that
you need right now. And while it may be of great value to
support each other in our time of grief and despair - the
truth is and always will be that we are all a part of that
divine intelligence that knows how to keep the stars and
planets aloft.
Knowing that we are a part of that amazing grace, could we
ever doubt that we are safe?
I conclude by sharing the words I repeat to myself when
fear tries to encroach upon my spirit.
"God is in me, as me, being me - and I am safe."
And so are we all.
