I Greet The Indwelling Trainer.
Today’s “Pay Forward” gift is – The Elephant’s Way. The baby elephant’s leg is tied to a chain staked to the ground, keeping the baby elephant from moving beyond the chain’s length. As the elephant grows, it becomes strong enough to either break the chain or rip the stake out of the ground. It doesn’t however, because it became so conditioned to the distance it could travel that it never tested the chain. That’s a great metaphor for the way we stay bound to limitations. I’ve made a decision to turn my will and my life over to the care of our Father. Sometimes I do things the rest of my personal “reality” disapproves of. That’s a sure sign that it is time to do another set of A.A.’s Steps, not just an inventory. I want all levels of my consciousness to be trusted servants; with a common purpose, however, they do not govern. A conflict like this, tells me I have to accept my experience, not my conscious mind to be my real belief. When I gain ownership of my personal “reality’s” patterns, I surrender them to our Father, for an upgrade, and possibly transformation into an asset. I choose Him to be my one ultimate authority. Let my eye [consciousness] be single, and full of light. After all – our common welfare should come first. The point is we are not elephants or saints. Thy Love, Thy Will be done.
