Listening and Following

Has fear kept you tied to things or ideas which perhaps have served their purpose in your life? I know many of my actions have been dictated by fear. Perhaps fear of being alone binds us to relationships which need to be released. This might be thought of as a "failure" -- which brings up another fear, huh? What if we don't think of the ending of a marriage or friendship as a failure, but as a ​natural ​progression of this life? The same may be said of a career or hobby. These things can be steps on a journey to somewhere you never dreamed you would go​!​ If you've planned your life in every detail, it may seem like giving up ​when mov​ing​ on to something else. That's why I love this way of thought! There are no rules, other than listening​​​ as divine Mind​ lead​s​ us wherever we need to be. This guidance doesn't always mean leaving something -- it could be staying with a job or relationship, regardless of what logic dictates. Listening and following is always an adventure!!


"Until the majesty of Truth should be demonstrated in divine Science, the spiritual idea was arraigned before the tribunal of so-called mortal mind, which was unloosed in order that the false claim of mind in matter might uncover its own crime of defying immortal Mind." Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 564:19-23
