Begetting – The Outworking Of Cause and Effect…
Without analyzing circumstance or life, there are some obvious patterns that coincide with “Cause and effect.” The mind does tend to do much more with this than is effective. However, I can look at the details in my life and know quite well that I have had a great hand in the creation of it – right down to the minutest detail. This topic can be a useful one, to the extent that I AM willing to be actually present. Though the gages that the mind uses are often colorized and inaccurate, I can allow myself two privileges. One privilege is in knowing that I AM responsible. The second privilege is in knowing that, in taking true responsibility, I must release the complete picture that I think I’m aware of into the largest field of inclusive radiance. This is often called surrendering. As I AM surrendering to the absolute, I AM surrendering to Love. This is not a form of evading taking responsibility. This is the most complete way that I can allow all of the factors to be encompassed through the complete and inclusive Creative Process of Life.
The mind on its own chooses to arrive at false beliefs, as the mind’s solo journey speaks as if it knows saying that this begets that and that begets this, etc. There is no room for discovery for anyone that thinks that they already know. I can arrive anywhere in my life with a few different types of presence about me. There is the ‘I already know presence’ (well that has to be a lie). ‘There is the ignorant stance that pretends that it’s not aware of anything (and though this closer to the truth – its still a lie!’ But then there is also a stance of ‘open presence’ that holds the wisdom of living awareness – but is still earnest in discovery for what is coming forth, knowing that it cannot ever completely know! This last presence is always the truest that anyone can have in their experience because it is open and connected. While the mind arrives at certain points of hypothesis, it must be allowed the continuous release of it or it dries in its own cement. We tend to want to use what we think is absolute, as a foundation to build things on or from. Cement is often used to create a foundation for houses. But for life, the only true foundation is an open one that moves in the living flow. When we allow our truest foundation the opportunity of expanding and contracting to encompass our world, we begin to know what we are each here to do. Our lives need to be able to be released into the true foundation. The foundation that seems to be the most stable and resilient, in my experience, is Spirit.
Let my common sense work with the simplest approach to all things as I responsibly acknowledge the begetting relationship of life (Cause and effect). While I do need to understand the world of ‘Cause and effect,’ I also need to release everything into the largest field of encompassment. This platform is well beyond needing the name that give to it – but I choose to call it Spirit or the Spirit of Love. Whether you name Christ, Buddha or any name that rings “The Divine One” in your heart, it is always based on a foundation of Love. “Let Love radiant without concern for results” or concern for the names that Love goes by. Just appreciate the authors of Love… There are many extensions from the One! Let no author of Love be less in your heart. As we each know the Truth in our hearts, we find that there is only Love to be offered and to be shared.
