All our lives we have been taught to take control of our lives; to have goals and make plans, and to follow through with them. It takes quite a bit of unlearning to realize that this is the ego’s idea and usually brings nothing but unhappiness. I used to think I was in control and it was my job to orchestrate everything (and everyone!) around me. How many misunderstandings, disappointments, and broken promises this has caused! Now, I understand my needs are met before I know I have them. By releasing my own certainty that I know what’s right, I leave myself open to the field of all possibilities. And in doing this, the perfect avenue is readily shown to me. All I need to is follow!
“When we fully understand our relation to the Divine, we can have no other Mind but His, — no other Love, wisdom, or Truth, no other sense of Life, and no consciousness of the existence of matter or error.”
MaryBaker Eddy - Science & Health Page 205:32-3
“Peace abides in every mind that quietly accepts the plan God set for its Atonement, relinquishing its own. You know not of salvation, for you do not understand it. Make no decisions about what it is or where it lies, but ask the Holy Spirit everything, and leave all decisions to His gentle counsel.”
A Course in Miracles T-14.III.12:4-6
