This holy instant would I give to You.
Be You in charge. For I would follow You,
Certain that Your direction gives me peace.
I read something really spectacular last night from Deepak Chopra’s book “The Third Jesus”:
“It’s impossible to quantify if you are on the spiritual path or how far along it you may be. But progress is always marked by transformation. The path isn’t about feeling better. It’s not about knowing who you are, or ending your suffering, or finding peace, or healing your deepest wounds. It’s about a transformation so profound that illusion is traded for reality. Jesus survives to this day as a force in the world because he embodied that truth completely. As we are headed for God-consciousness, our own transformation cannot stop halfway; we can’t settle for a better life or even the best life, for a glimpse of God, or even for God as a daily companion. The state of God-consciousness represents a leap in human development that you and I must be prepared to make personally. The middle of the path brings us to the leaping-off point. The end of the journey will look nothing like the world we took the leap from.”
“What will it feel like to finally arrive in God-consciousness? Anyone traveling the spiritual path will naturally ask this question. The middle of the journey isn’t the same as the destination.”
I repeat:
“The middle of the journey isn’t the same as the destination.”
“The mixture of old and new self must eventually resolve into a completely new self. Sin will no longer exist. God’s grace will be abundant, and his presence will guide our every action.”
That’s Deepak Chopra. Amazing, right?
So, if you are in the middle of the journey, all I can say is: Keep Going. Don’t give up. The middle of the journey isn’t the same as the destination. In one stroke of brilliant light, you will be changed in the twinkling of an eye. You will not get a continuation of small miracles and minor transformation (which is what the middle of the journey offers), but in one sudden motion, you will be entirely brand new. That’s the destination.
This holy instant would I give to You.
Be You in charge. For I would follow You,
Certain that Your direction gives me peace.
I love you. I would do anything for you.

Lisa,
I haven’t had a brilliant stroke of light. It has been more like an amazing thought, that this god-consciousness is an all or nothing thing. It happened when my husband and I were driving. He snapped at me. I did not react. He suddenly turned loving, and I realized the magnitude of God’s Power. I also was thinking a thought “How can I ever forgive my daughter-in-law?” Then the thought came that if I don’t, I’ll never “get there” because she and I are the same! Then I realized that it was my choice, ALL OR NOTHING!
