Preface

What can I say?

From somewhere deep the VOICE spoke.

I wrote it down.

You have it in hand.

Listen from your depth as you read.

You decide from whom or where the message comes.

Or better yet, don’t fret the source.

Follow the truth.

Let the message transform your life.

As firewood

yields itself

to flame

And moves from

heavy, bulky

frame

To elements

set free,

So let me yield.

As seed of

Spring

submits to rain

And moves from

tiny, fragile

frame

To flowers

of pure grace,

So I submit.

For I am

neither more nor less

Than nature’s

perfect

loveliness;

So shall I be

There comes a time when you know enough. From that point your search becomes a different one, seeking meaning, application, experimentation and fulfillment of what you know. That time is now, and only a strict discipline of your thoughts, attitudes, feelings and expressions will break the façade of habitual ego living and allow you a newborn freedom and joy.

Start simple, listen to your heart, act intuitively, break the rigid rules of your self-made world and let life flow through you. Do less directing and organizing of the events in your life, but risk a new approach of letting things flow. Trust your center. Trust the force. Let go and trust.

Practice this everyday! Say to yourself, all is well; everything is in divine order; I will know what to do. This floating on a sea of trust will be frightening at first to you, who are more accustomed to directing the events of your life, but you have experimented with it at times, and you know how it works.

Float, be easy to change, keep your direction open and your movement fluid. Do what comes to you to do; say what comes to you to say; let your responses be spontaneous, surfacing from a living depth of knowing within you. Gradually, the fulfillment of life will come and you will have a sense and awareness of a ‘divine presence’ that is living your life for you. No need to struggle. No need to worry. For out of your depths will come all you will ever need for life, for sustenance, for joy.

Do what comes to you to do, unpressured by ego-instilled demands, guidelines, deadlines or schedules. Know that the divine plan is gently but surely unfolding in every encounter, every relationship and every decision that you make.

Soon you will know what I meant when I said, Take no thought and Be not anxious for surely tomorrow is taking care of itself. Do not think that such letting go is leaving you without things to do; it relieves you of the responsibility but not of the activity. Your part is to allow a joyous fulfilling of my spirit within you. This will keep you busy but with laughter, active but in joy.

Everyday report in to Me – over and over again. Soon our minds will be one and reporting in will be spontaneous and continuous. The new you will emerge as one with spirit, and your life will flow easily from within.

Struggle will be no more. Difficult events, pains, sorrows will still come, but because you now see all things as part of the divine flowing, they too will bring a deep sense of knowing, accepting and loving to your heart.

All is well; nothing is out of order; joy and love abide
