.GRANDFATHER’S PRAYER FOR TODAY
My Creator help me understand the wisdom of when a giant step into the unknown is necessary, or when a step by step approach is warranted.
We are often told to have faith in all that we do knowing we are supported every step of the way. This is true in most cases; we would be foolish to attempt to climb a ladder without proper support or someone holding the bottom rung for us. But at other times we are advised to have faith in attempting something we have never done before, even though it may seem foolish or impossible to do. So how can we understand the wisdom of what to do when presented with these dilemmas?
We can do no better than be aware of some of the wise laws that have served many in the past.
THE LAW OF BALANCE.
(Finding a middle way).“To walk in Balance” is an old Native American saying. Balance applies to our Body, Mind, Emotions and Spirit and to all levels of our being. Anything we do, we can under do or overdo. Our Earth walk can be likened to a pendulum. If our actions or habits swing too far to one side they will inevitably swing an equal amount to the other side. The key is to try to keep the swings either way to a minimum, to find the middle way, “To Walk in Balance”
THE LAW OF CHOICES.
Reclaiming our Power. We are all burdened and blessed by the great gift and responsibility of Free Will-the power of choice. Our future is in the large part based on the choices we make now, at this moment. We cannot always control our circumstances, but we can and do choose the responses and decisions we make to whatever arises. By reclaiming the power of choice and not allowing ourselves to be a victim of circumstances, we can find the courage to live fully in the world-To stand tall.
THE LAW OF PROCESS.
Taking life one step at a time. Life can be likened to a journey, a process. We should try to break up our life’s journey or any process in our lives into a series of small steps to be taken one by one, to reach our goal. For process transcends time and teaches us patience. Each step is based on a solid foundation of careful preparation, before taking the next step. In doing so we learn to trust ourselves better, and enjoy our unfolding potential.
THE LAW OF PRESENCE.
Living in the moment. Time is a paradox, stretching between the past and into the future. It has no reality, only in our own minds. For time is a convention of thought and language, a social agreement. But here is a greater truth, WE HAVE ONLY THIS MOMENT.THE PAST IS A MEMORY and THE FUTURE IS BASED ON WHAT WE DO IN THIS MOMENT.
THE LAW OF COMPASSION.
Awakening our Humanity. Unlike many religious dogmas, there will never be a “Judgement Day”. The Creator, the cosmos, the universe, does not judge us. It only provides consequences and lessons and opportunities to balance and learn through the law of cause and effect. No lesson is left unlearned; it just needs a little more understanding. COMPASSION is the recognition that we are all doing the best we can within the limits of our current beliefs, abilities and capacities.
THE LAW OF FAITH.
Trusting in Spirit. Our direct link to Universal Wisdom is our faith, reminding us we know more than we have ever read, heard or studied and we are full of potential. We have only to look, listen and trust that the Universal Spirit is working through us all. That everything is as it should be, and on schedule.
THE LAW OF EXPECTATION.
Expanding our Reality. Our thoughts are Energy, we move toward that which we can imagine but not beyond. What we assume, expect or believe creates and influences our experience. If we can expand our deepest beliefs about what is possible we can change our experience of life and unlock our true potential.
THE LAW OF INTEGRITY.
Living our Truth. Integrity means living and acting in complete alignment with the sacred spiritual laws and with our highest vision. With integrity in our hearts we respect, and honour others and ourselves. We can accept who we are and express our own interior reality, inspiring others, not with words but by our example
THE LAW OF ACTION.
Moving into Life. No matter what we feel we know. No matter how much we talk about what we know. No matter what are our potential gifts and talents, only ACTION brings them into life. Many of us understand the concepts of commitment, love, courage and love. But do we really know what we can do. For only doing leads to understanding. Only ACTION turns knowledge into wisdom.
THE LAW OF CYCLES.
Dancing to Natures Song. The Natural World and Nature move in rhythms, cycles and patterns. The passing of the seasons, the movement of the stars, and the ebb and flow of the tides. The seasons do not push one another. The clouds do not race the wind across the sky. All things happen in their own good time and when they are ready to happen. Rising and falling and rising like the Ocean Waves in the cycles of time.
THE LAW OF SURRENDER.
Embracing a Higher Will. Surrender means acceptance. Accepting this moment, this body, and this life with open arms. Surrender means getting out of our own way and living in accord with a higher will, expressed as the wisdom of the heart. It does not mean just passive acceptance; surrender uses every challenge as a means of spiritual growth and expanded awareness.
THE LAW OF UNITY.
Remembering Our Connection. Each of us are on this Earth at this time as separate beings with diverse destinies; but just like each raindrop makes up the seas on this planet, so are we each part of the Ocean of Awareness in the Body of the Creator. Find love and inner peace deep within the highest truth that we are all one Family. Leave behind the baggage of fear, envy, greed and resentment: fly aloft on the wings of understanding to enter the boundless Land of Compassion. Enjoy the Laws for we are all. part of them. Life is Unity; Life is Equality, for Eternity
