To My Fellow Travelers by CornFed (fun books to read for adults .TXT) 📕

who have a problem being at peace with God, ourselves, and the circumstances of our lives. And our circumstances may be a paradox to what we feel to be truth, but there is a reason for them: a Divine reason leading into something even better.

We are all uniquely fulfilled and living a life second-to-none, a life that ONLY we could have lived. And Your Maker will do what It can to break away all the crap to get you to that point. How long that takes is entirely dependent on how much you are willing to trust and enjoy all the "coincidences" that occur when you let go with a sense of Guidance other than the normal clamor we hear from outside of ourselves or all those screaming voices inside our own head

Peace and Knowledge of one’s place in this world is right here, right now.

I heard a song growing up as a Christian and one of the lines said

“Not a lot to lean on, roaming through the night to find my place in this world…my place in this world…”

And that silly song is Horseshit.

Letting go of the crutches, stopping our natural insistence to fold our arms or throw our emotional and philosophical ramblings onto others is yet another resistance to What is waiting.

While we let things outside of ourselves hold us, it is so much more profound to drop the kiddy act and rest your weight against an Invisible Solid object. And you but need to let go of all that you thought you knew to see it, especially if your number one method of comfort has always been the "Big Man in the Sky" or whatever other form religion has shaped the Invisible into.

When you let go, an ever better Solid object supports you, minute by minute. When you don't TRY to rest on It, but simply rest on It, then the shifting of things in this world occurs. A benediction starts to sing. You begin to hear. Life starts to take shape. All is well with your soul.

We shouldn't much care for leaning on the things of this world, those things in our peripheral vision or placed within our head by the teachings and ramblings of others, ourselves included. We should seek to lean on something Firm and only then does the world and our fellow travellers fall into their rightful place in our lives. We don’t resist the world; we simply recognize it for what it is by letting go of its promises and illusions of control.

Circumstances are not your enemy. They are your friend. They are my friend. If your life and the circumstances in it do not truly truly truly resonate with you, then you know they are here as a passing perfection making your own perfection even more perfect. You are not improving. You are simply seeing more of what has already existed.

You are driving through the fog with the sun just over the hill but enjoying it all the same.

And my only prayer to you, and to myself, is that we continue to let go, let Whatever Is Out There Be Itself, and quit assuming Our Maker doesn’t already know of the kind of life that will make us supremely happy and satisfied and fulfilled during our time here on earth, in all areas, no matter how “dirty” or “human” or “selfish” they may seem to our mind, ego, or others opinions.

I have heard mention of “union with God” as being the highest goal. I have experienced that for myself. I didn't ask for it. It just happened in the oddest of circumstances. Timeless. Eternal. Peaceful. As if my mind was an outsider looking at something it could not comprehend.

And nothing anyone had ever said to describe what God is like could fit into this. It was as if all I had ever been told about God melted away when I experienced the Ultimate Reality.

I couldn't help but laugh for the next week.

And it’s so funny. It was as if My Maker was playing a game of hide and go seek!

There I was, searching for years trying to find My Maker and It was right there the whole time.

God does have a sense of humor.

Perhaps we should get one too?

Right now, no matter where you are at in your life, laugh about it. Laugh that you have taken yourself too seriously and that life is very simple if you would but let it.

God is already here. The experience of that “union” is already here. It is only being blocked by our inability to look beyond our mind, our eyes, our society, our world, and others views of it.

Having been one of those people who found the benefit, and the the detriment, of AA and rehabs, people would always tell me, like a bunch of parrots on a perch…

“There is only one God, may you find him now.”

That is not true.

There is only one God and God is here RIGHT now. You simply must put down your resistance to that. Simply put down your resistance of not having what you love the most in life, of what you desire the most in life. Drop the longings of what your heart, mind, body, and soul desire to see, live, do, and be during your time here on earth.

Drop it all. Let it just be there. Don't chase it.

Get out of your own way.

And you’ll find God was, and most certainly IS, there the entire damn time. And God is such a damned beautiful, and dare I say POWERFUL, thing. And your dreams and hearts desires shall come to pass in their due time.

Remember, you have all the time in the world. Clocks are not part of God. There is not a schedule to keep, a place to be. You’ll find yourself there without effort if you will be just let go.

Let the wonderment of that which made you, and exists right now, open all doors, prepare all ways, and provide for you the ability to enjoy and live the Gift already presented to you. A gift you already possess.

You are eternal, you will never die, life is a gift, and your job is to simply let go of all that is in the way of your own perfection. And your own perfection won’t be my own perfection and we may never see eye to eye on many things, but it is real and true never the less.

We will all mix and mingle with smiles and laughter.

Relax. Don’t Struggle. Common sense can, and will, become uncommon sense once you start getting yourself out of the way.

And that process can be easy or it can be hard. It is up to you. One can easily enjoy a month in jail if they knew 10 years in Tahiti was the end-result. The funny part of that equation is that a jail was never really a necessary holding pattern if we had let go sooner. It likely could have been catching a tan by a nice pool in preparation for the beach.

But, becoming a part of the end-result is often the hardest to deal with since we are such impatient and demanding entities until we relax and rest. We block off life when we don’t be patient and drop our insistence on the answer. But if you ask to be shown, to see what needs to be seen, and then drop it altogether, well….

Your Maker, and all the beauty that comes with It, will rush into Your life.

Have you ever tried to get a point across to a friend who continually talks and never listens? Now you know how God feels. He can clear up years of confusion in a single moment but we are too busy mentally masturbating on what is in our head; complaints, questions, problems.

Stop it.

Let God speak, be they in whispers or shouts, quiet or spontaneous inspirations, instant changes in your life or slowly developed story lines.

It is not as if Your Maker hasn’t already been trying to do that, but we keep resisting what is given to us. We feel the circumstances of our lives are problems. We see them with our minds eye but not with the Divine’s eye.

There is such a thing call Permission. Give your Permission to God. It is all the entryway your Maker needs to give you a life that is perfect for who you really are.

And Permission is simply an attitude of letting go of it all and living in the trust. And you are not trusting if you are busy praying or spinning on your miserable life all the time.

No action is required on your part.

You must live that. No force, only Power from God.

God is Bless. God is Speed. God is Eternal. God knows no time. Which makes us think God is Slow. You just let God do it. And you enjoy every human-second of it.

And that is all I have to say to you, my fellow travelers.
