This Week's Reflection

 

You should read some of the emails that I receive that provide what could only described as way-out or totally outrageous confirmation of the age-old expression that "God works in mysterious ways" or, in the language of modern science, the universe works in mysterious ways... right under our noses.

 

And this is going on under everyone's nose.

 

How come you haven't noticed? How come most people think that coincidences that move us forward are random or just dumb luck? How come nothing like some of the stuff that I read has never happened me (meaning you!)?

 

Simple! They are happening and they're happening for you but you either don't notice them because you're not attentive enough (AKA in flow!) or you discount what's going on around you either as random or insignificant.

 

This is simply how the normal mind works. And, even with growing awareness, we can be distracted from the reality and flow of the moment by others or, failing that, by our own thinking mind playing games with us.

 

That's why we need to deal with our thinking mind daily. That starts with meditation but it continues throughout the day with mini-meditation and pulling ourselves back from the thinking-created brink when we become aware that we're heading in that direction.

 

And, when the "weird" or "outrageous" happens, don't discount it as just something out of the ordinary. In fact, out of the ordinary is what we're looking for. It's called extraordinary and it is who and what you are when you move beyond normal.
