Having a Do Date with the Universe

I have just finished watching the movie The Shift with Wayne Dyer And I must say that in the beginning I thought, oh I know all this stuff already and almost changed the channel, but because I new that was only my ego speaking, I decided to ignore it and see what this movie’s message might be for me. So I opened and listened to what was being said and I received a wonderful reminder of the way of spirit and the Divine Play that we are all engaged in.

Wayne said that when we truly let go and give up the fight, the Universe does us. So whatever project you may be engaged in or whatever your life is bringing for you to deal with, the art of truly living as the God being that you are is to allow that essential aspect of you, the inner depth of your soul, to lift you and guide you without your needing to do anything as you the doer. The me, or I that dictates what you think is wanted or needed surrenders to the larger sense of what is already present, that infinite stillness and the you you have always thought was making all of the decisions in your life, surrenders, literally disappears in a sense. What remains is just knowing what is the next thing is needed or wanted and so you do that. In other words when you get yourself out of the way the Universe will show up for you in ways that you have always wanted it to show up, in support of your greater purpose.

We can each feel completely nourished and fulfilled in each moment that we allow ourselves to be used by the Divine in our offering service to anyone that we meet or see in any moment of our day.

I have a dear friend who does just that. We were at my god daughter’s birthday part the other day and when she returned from walking the dog, she asked our mutual friend, the mother of the birthday girl, what else she could do for her, she said, “ how can I be of service to you now”? When I heard that my first thought was wow, and then I thought, I wish I could feel that willing because there was a part of myself that just wanted to leave and not be there at all, but then I just decided to offer something I enjoyed doing and so I did. It turned out to be of some help and yes I felt good about having given something since my god daughter’s mother was definitely ready to go crazy with 10 kids needing all kinds of attention.

My point being that it is only through our willingness to help another, to give without thought of getting back, that the universe gives back to us, and does us. That term you know has often been used for getting our sexual rocks off, and so I thought it appropriate to use it as a wonderful way to describe how the universe will respond to us and give to us everything when we allow ourselves to just be aligned more with our essential self and less with our ego self. Then we allow life to live through us and do us rather than struggling to do life the way we (our ego-mind) wants to do them.
