Moving Out of the Way and Allowing Things to Unfold

Back in 2012 when I was receiving Gnan Vidhi, a ceremony to invoke knowledge of self or self realization by a guru of Dadashri I learned a lesson.

The guru while explaining the spiritual practice of detachment, used the example of scientific circumstances to explain our lack of control over everything. Now science means knowledge, so the term basically means knowledge of everything. The theory explains that at any given time there is many different components making up any and all experiences. Most of these components we are unaware of.

Involvement or attachment to people and situations is often the cause of our suffering. Many people, places, things and circumstances are occurring and affecting one another on a subtle level. Because of a lack of awareness it is easy to assume lone responsibility for making things happen.

The example the guru used was making a cup of tea. To make a cup of tea one needs a teapot, a tea bag, water fire, milk or lemon and sweetener. If these components are missing we are unable to make the tea properly. Yet a human would claim that he alone is making the tea.

The guru jokes that if the teapot could speak it would claim to make the tea. If the tea bag could speak it would claim to make the tea. However as stated before if any of the components we're missing there would be no tea. The point in this matter is recognizing that we truly have no control over anything outside of ourselves. Keeping this in mind can help to deal with people, situations and circumstances that bring us discomfort. When we take the time too step back from the situation and recognize and accept that we have no control over it, it allows us to be free. We can then redirect attention to how we choose to react and withdraw our energy from an undesired outcome.

It is important to know when to pick your battles. It is also important to recognize that where attention goes energy flows. This can be especially hard when dealing with someone that you love or with a situation that affects your livelihood. However continuously giving attention to something outside of your control will cause stress.
If the situation involves another party there may be conflict if you do not allow that person to resolve their own problems.

Often when there is an attachment to a person their actions can be taken personally. When a person is experiencing pain and they are hurting it is easy to hurt people around them. We must learn to hold space for others from a distance.

Learn to explore the possibility of getting out of the way and allowing things to flow. A part of acceptance is to allow things out of our control to be. Allowing situations to happen without getting involved does not mean we are not concerned. It means our concern can be channelled without anxiety or conflict by holding space in our hearts or mind. Sending love, encouragement and intenions for the highest achievable outcome available.

Removing oneself from conflict can spare us pain and suffering and allow for things to be worked out for the better. It's always more beneficial to focus energy on the things that we do want instead of the outcome we don't want.

Self Love the Ultimate Tool of Empowerment & Inspiration.

Being present, accepting, sitting with and feeling all that is you, in this and every moment, in GRATITUDE, is the first step in healing. It is the first level in expressing self love and attracting our desires. Showing love no matter what,, just like you would to a new born baby is a positive influence not only to your mind, heart and every molecule or particle you posses but it expands out to your counter parts and the entire collective around you.

You ask what do I mean by the collective? The collective is the people that grace your precense, sit in your circle, cross your path. The collective consists of those who love you, work with you, work against you, even speak with you at the deli or the bank. You see we are all intermingled with one another and your joy and expression of love permeates out in and through your family, community and world. But you must practice being a lover of life and self all the time. You have to learn to love your self and everything that comes with it. Embrace your blessings, your challenges, your blemishes and your blooming sustenance. Everything turns out for the good when you love the goodness that is you and God. I bet your saying duuh everyone knows this! Who doesn't love themselves? Well you would be surprised. Most people do not have enough trust to show love to others and that lack of trust usual comes from within. Also remember we talked about the definition and levels of love HERE. Love has much to do with how we identify and relate to others. It is an attraction based primarily off familiarity and kinship. Many of us do not express the high versions of love expressed in the book of 1st Corinthians

You are probably saying right now "Ray Ray I do not know what you are talking about I love myself!" I am sure you do on some levels. I bet you love yourself enough to provide food and shelter, get ya nails did or the new Jordan's or what ever pumps ya blood. But you can tell how much you love yourself by what is around you. I do not mean just physically because physical choices are often put together to establish and appearance. How ever these relationships and how we identify with our environment the job you keep, the practices you have, your diet and personal relationships tell all. If any are negative it has to do with your conviction in the love you have for yourself. Are you always patient with self? Are you always kind to self? Are you never angered by self? Do you TRUST yourself ? <<< That is a deep one! Do you fail yourself for outside things?

I know what your thinking, Rays be rational I HAVE to work 60 hours to blah blah blah, I do not have time to always eat healthy meals, I do not have time to sleep eight hours. I can't buy bottled water all the time, can't afford.... I say soul kin you are making excuses. I am here to tell you that when you show yourself love on the highest level all things around you will transmute, opportunities for more love in your life, provisions will be made, those around you will prosper. You just have to have the conviction for self love.  Trust and believe, know you deserve it and everything will follow it. The illusion that your energy should flow to anything before you is dangerous, for if you are not able or alive surely all of these things will continue to function with out you. Do the world a favor, love yourself. Go get that!
