Paul McCartney

In Corrogue it is frosty.

The earth is heard and unyielding. This reminds me of how our hearts often become. They become cold and we ourselves become frosty. The flow of our energy is blocked. “The soft animal of our body” which is mostly water becomes hard, unmoving and unyielding. Then we enter “times of trouble.”

These words “Times of trouble” are from beautiful song penned by Paul McCartney entitled “Let it Be.” This song goes as follows:-

“When I find myself in times of trouble Mother Mary comes to me Speaking words of wisdom, “Let it Be.”

Often when we find ourselves in “times of trouble” last thing we want to do is “let it be.” We want it to be fixed. We want it not to be way it is right now. We are like Briar Rabbit who fights with Tar Baby. The more we fight more entangled we become.

One of greatest lessons in life is lesson of “letting it be.” This is a lesson from energy of Divine feminine. In this song energy of Divine feminine is represented by Mother Mary. It could as well be any other wondrous representation of Divine feminine. In China it might be Quan Ying. In Ireland it might be St Bridget. In Tibet it might be Goddess Tara. In all times and all cultures she comes to those in trouble if they are allowing.

Often in times of trouble we are ones who create our own trouble.

We have not learned art of non-attachment. This is a great art. It is a lifetimes practice in avoidance of suffering. In West we think non-attachment means non-feeling. Essentially it means disinterest. It does not mean you do not care. You can care greatly but be detached from outcome. Do best you can do and then let be and let go.

Detachment allows for love inaction.

This is allowing free flow of energy of your body to express in way it needs. Detachment requires trust and deeper trust. It is surrender of any outcome to grace of Beloved. You simply do not get entangled in way something turns out. In vast scheme of things how are you to know.

If you worry you attract worry. If you are anxious you attract anxiety. You are a conduit for energy that you put out. We create your own world. We are all fields of energy vibrating in a vast network of eternal energy. This is eternal energy of love. We call this by name God, Goddess, or maybe Universal mind. It doesn’t matter what you call it as it is only "what it is."

This morning I got up early because we received more snow last night and I decided to take advantage of crisp air and opportunity to be alone for a while. I bundled up and headed out with my snow scraper in hand.

While shoveling, I thought about what has transpired in my life this year … where I was 12 months ago, where I am now, and where I want to be in a year.

Earlier this year, I put an intention into Universe to guide me to my divine purpose. There was something missing that I needed in order to feel complete.

After handing my intention over, I started to visualize myself being surrounded by warm, caring people dedicated to helping me achieve success and sense of purpose, and reminded myself daily to remain open to any opportunity that might present itself.

Each day I woke up “knowing” that my answer would come, and with this knowing, I felt a sense of calmness. I was more relaxed. I smiled more and did not hesitate to speak to strangers and offer them a hand when needed.

I kept my mind open, listened more closely and focused more on giving than on receiving.

The Universe responded in kind.

Many generous, loving people were drawn into my life and together we have shared in a wonderful journey of self-growth, enlightenment and amazing successes.
