Acknowledge harmony and inhabit grace

Life is precious. Life is a gift. When you get yourselves in sticky situations life gets you out of them.

Why? Because you are loved by your God Presence who sees and knows all before it occurs.

It is as the Ancients say: "Be still and know I Am God."

These words lead to Self understanding. For indeed, you are always within a breath of your divine Counterpart – your Creator, and this One dwells always in harmony in your midst.

It is not always easy to relax, let go, and let God. If it were easy to maintain harmony in your feelings we would not write about the subject. As an example, it is very easy to breathe once the lungs are operating as they should. No one need instruct you on how to take in breath and expel stale air. Certainly, you may get instruction on how to use the breath to accomplish altered states of awareness, to slow down respiration and enter a trance-like, meditative state. But the basic act of respiration is performed instinctively by all.

Were maintaining harmony in the feelings an equivalently easy proposition, there would be as little use for this reminder as there is need for treatises on how to breathe easily and naturally. So, while you know quite well what we mean when we say “harmony” it can seem most challenging to attain and maintain, especially when pressed by seemingly stressful conditions.

Relinquish "Racing Mind and Heart" Syndrome

The first impulse entering consciousness is a feeling tone – a pulse concerning the matter at hand. For example, you get a letter from someone. As soon as you read the return address and before you open it you sense the contents.

Now your response may be either good or bad. If you’re expecting a refund check from some group or organization you feel pleasurable emotions racing thru you as you rush to open the envelop to see exactly how much has been received.

Between the time the envelop is opened and its value determined your mind races thru multiple probabilities in what amounts to split seconds in your reality. This occurs every second of each day unless restrained by a harmonious state of awareness.

The racing heart need not be precursor of physical ailment or horrific occurrence. It may be something quite pleasant –some event eagerly anticipated. Yet were the heart held in a constant state of racing it is somewhat inevitable the stress placed on the organ may cause physical malfunction.

Acknowledge harmony as your birthright and lo! you maintain effortless control. Thru acknowledgement you discover your Self to be alive at the center of your life experience, serene and at peace in your world.

Acknowledge harmony and you find that you do, indeed, matter in the grand scheme of life. Acknowledge harmony and find yourself dwelling in the safety, security and comfort of knowing all is indeed well.

Let the Presence be your charioteer

Let your life be governed by Its balanced, harmonious, serene Presence. Permit the mind and heart -- the two horses of your identity -- to advance the chariot (ego) under control of the charioteer (the God Presence). Know this One as sufficiently versed in the art of Self control to handle the reins and guide your identity so you attain each moment's destination in safety, comfort, and joy.
