What am I asked to do?

The questions this week in the holy memes and kosmic blog starters discussion came from the Unity principles. The questions and my responses:

1. How do you know something greater than you exists?

Is God greater than me? If God is all there is, then I must be God. Why is there so much that I do not understand? Why is there hate? The "answer" has been that the world is a dream, an illusion, maya. It sure feels real to me at times. The joy and the fear. I am reminded of Jane Siberry's song, Calling All Angels.

The mystery is like a Zen koan. The separateness is there but does not feel right. The synchronicities, the miracles, the feeling of love, the beauty, all call me to Unity/God/Source.

2. How do other people relate to this something?

We each have God as our source. We have the same thoughts/feelings/emotions. All of us touch the source every moment of our lives. Our daily practice is to see God in everyone and everything.

The question should have read: How do you see other people relating to this something?

3. How can we affect changes in our lives?

We are creative. We inherit that from God. Every thought comes into manisfestation. We change our lives by changing our thougts. Joyful thoughts -> a joyful life. How do we change our thoughts, especially the subconscious/shadow ones? By allowing our Godness to shine through. Find that place in our hearts where love flows. Rest there in the silence. Become that peace.

4. How do you talk with this something greater?

God is beyond concepts/words/thoughts. Prayer/meditation are the same thing for me. Becoming aware of the silence and letting it effuse through my being. Whenever I lose sight of the power of emptiness, I am grateful for a community to lead me back to feeling the Unity.

5. What have you been asked to do by this something greater?

The mystery of a life guided by synchronicity. I do not know where it leads. I take each step, trusting to be shown the next step. Thank you for stepping with me.
