I got the sense that I am doing OK so I felt gratitude. I just sent an email off to a friend \u2014 an idea to help her came to me in meditation. This gave me the thought that perhaps it is common that we humans need quiet contemplation to hear our guidance. I thought of Bishop Desmond Tutu as well as Jesus taking time away from their ministries. I asked HS if it is common to struggle with hearing guidance when interacting with others. Yes was the answer. This tells me that asking for time-out, a pause, is a good tool for me to take on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">70] My salvation comes from me [ME].<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I am thinking of my connection to the greater ME, the collective consciousness (Christ) that has been sent down into this world as a little finger of individualization. Salvation is my acknowledgement of the flow of love-light-truth from the true ME. There is no work to do, just be in the sunshine of OUR Love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3-26-2024<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>69] My grievances hide the light of the world in me.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>70] My salvation comes from me.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s all within me and, as such, is my choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201c\u2026 light and vision must be joined to see.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I choose to lay down grievances so I may see with the eyes of Love.
