It seems that the longer I live the more there is to let go of.  It is as though growing up and living as an adult means shedding ideas and concepts that I took on as I was growing up.  It is amazing to me how wedded I have become to some of my ideas.  In Landmark education and in other places there is the concept that we don’t know what we don’t know.  In other words, we know what we do know, we know what we don’t know but the majority of what is available to us consists in what we don’t know that we don’t know.  At first this can be alarming to concede, but once it begins to sink in it brings great relief.  It frees me from having to “know” how it is all going to turn out.  the humorous part of that is that I actually think sometimes that I know how something is going to turn out.  The reality of it is the “knowing” of how it is going to turn out is based on past experience.  A given set of circumstances mirror something similar and in my mind’s eye, it will happen as it did similarly before.  The problem with that is that I have already formed a reality in my mind and that is what I am looking for. I have a perception of people and circumstances and when I focus on how I have always seen them, that is what I continue to see.  For those of you whose brains are hurting or the voice in your head is saying “that is ridiculous” take note.  So what does all this have to do with God and with being released?  I can be released of my past way of seeing things and open to the moment and its authentic experiences but I have to be in my God-mind, not my human programmed mind to accomplish that.  Since it is much easier to go with the set programming, it takes a conscious effort to see the programming for what it is, stop, breathe, and ask to be open to seeing it as it truly is.  I cannot function on automatic programming alone to truly be present.  I believe that God is in the moment, in the breath I take, in the unknown, and in the experience.  God is in the present action and in the heart of new living.  When I am connected to God the beauty is that I can be at peace with the uncertainty which is good because when I am honest with myself I recognize that most things truly are uncertain.  I am no fortune-teller.  The gift I give to those around me when I approach things that way is that everything and anything can change right before my eyes. If there is anything certain it is change.  My prayer for you today is that before you walk into a familiar situation or conversation, ask God to be released of how it is going to turn out and for the eyes and the HEART to experience the moment for what it is.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
