Mastery and Love

To recognise me, you must first know me again. Re-cognise. First, you must believe there is a God to know. Second, you have to be open to new ideas about me. Third, and this is the biggie, you need to be ready to embrace a God who embraces you, without condition.

Ask yourself every day, ‘Is this Who I Am?’. Every decision you make is not a decision about what to do, but a decision about Who You Are. The other five word magic question is, ‘What would Love do now?’

If you require a certain result to be happy, you have an addiction. If you simply desire a certain result, you have a preference. If you have no preference, you have Acceptance. And you have achieved Mastery.

Suffering has nothing to do with events, but your reactions to them. What’s happening is merely what’s happening. How you feel about it – how you choose to feel about it – is another matter. Can you simply accept what ‘Is’?

Bits pinched from Neale Donald Walsch…

There is only what there is

There is only now

There is only your life

Your happiness

Your desires

Your existence

The rest is background scenery.

Whilst it can be very nice,

Interesting even,

It’s not you.

It’s not Who You Are.

It’s Who You Were

Perhaps,

Or Who You Could Be

Maybe

But right now,

Today

Who You Are is Who You Choose To Be.

Who do you choose to be?
