“Everyone gets an A+ in the end.”—Elizabeth Gilbert
Last weekend, one of my possibility posses threw a retreat. There wasn’t a leader, an agenda or really any kind of planning except someone offering to bring food.
We spent Saturday and Sunday together dancing, playing games, star-gazing, hot tubbing and letting Spirit take the lead.
It was pure magic.
And the real beauty is we didn’t orchestrate any of it.
Which makes me wonder what would happen if humans could just yank the cord, abandon the rules, give up the programming, forsake all the planning.
If we truly trust that the universe has our back, if we really KNOW how deeply, deeply cherished and loved we are, couldn’t we just relax. Laugh. Dance.
The lessons from Course in Miracles the past few days have encouraged us to recognize that we’re the ones creating the world.
Our thoughts — the ones that encourage fealty to the old story, to the fear, to the limitations — make images that replace true vision.
But like the headline of this post points out, “It’s all coming from inside us.”
What we see out there are images we concocted. And they’re not real. They block us from seeing that the world we live in is actually alive, intelligent and forever supportive.
At the retreat, someone mentioned a woman she knew who spoke great spiritual wisdom. And she did it with two simple words.
T’aint so.
Whenever anyone began discussing a problem –no matter what it was—she’d listen, shake her head and say, “T’aint so.”
Or as another friend said quoting, I think it was Abraham-Hicks, “If you could believe and trust that everything is so very all right, it would immediately and instantly become very all right.”
Glorious Friday. May it be the best weekend yet.
