"Self dethroned - that is the lesson, but in its place put love for Me, knowledge of Me.
Cease trying to forgive those who fretted or wronged you. It is a mistake to think about it. Aim at killing the self now, in your daily life, and then you will find there is nothing that even remembers injury, because the only one injured, the self, is dead."
One-minute meditations from God Calling by the anonymous Two Listeners
I'm in wonder over that reading. yesterday I was so full of my Self, labeling someone an absolute, complete a**hole. I truly had made the decision/judgement that this person was vile and I needed to protect my beautiful Self by severing the relationship. That's my MO.
What I learned, with the help of my amazing sponsor, was the whole experience was for ME, to show me something about myself. *duh* By the end of the day, I was giving thanks to my HP for using this person and the experience (who, I might add, had no recollection of the incident!!!) to teach me something about myself. I am still in wonder about this whole lesson, it's a complete miracle. Even after I did my inventory, I was still full of Self, I cannot do this on my own. Which is why there is step five.... obviously....
gawd, this program is so brilliant.
Now I need to look at my sister, whom I have been unable to "forgive," haven't spoken to her in a year. I wonder what will happen if I take my precious self out of it, what I will learn...
"relieve me of the bondage of Self "
...there is incredible depth to that for me today....
Took a couple of days to open and read this, as it turned out, very profound for you can apply that any negative issue that is counter productive to HIS WILL.
I applied this to a massive "fear Ball" attack and it sure rang clear.
