A Morning Message

There is wonder in the world on the rainy, misty morning when God whispers in my soul that "this too, shall pass". I know that this is true, that things will not remain the same, they never do. 

How do I find my way through? The unknown seems so enormous, so foreboding. Or so it seems in this moment. 

Then the warm loving presence of Spirit envelops me and once again my fear subsides.

How do I write about this? Again a message from Spirit, "be like an open book hiding nothing. Share what is in your heart and do not fear ridicule".  

I watch now as fear grows smaller and finally subsides replaced again with the awareness of the Presence of God keeping me safe in all things.

Was it Wayne Dyer who coined the acronym for EGO = Edging God Out? When my ego gets in the way and I worry about how I will be perceived I am missing the purpose of these writings...to uncover that which is inside me. 

Wayne Dyer has been my mentor for many years though we have never met. His first book, "Your Erroneous Zones" was our first encounter and we have grown and changed together ever since. I was young and finding my way out a chaotic childhood. He was a professor who believed in this book so much that he bought the first release himself and set out on the road to hawk his wares. At least, that is how I remember it. 

We cannot grow from someone else's spiritual experiences.
It is only when we put the ideas into practice in our own lives and live by them that we begin to grow.
