The Back of the Closet

Good Morning DearHearts,

On many an occasion someone at work has complimented me on my outfit and asked, “Is that new?” Many times my answer is “no, I went shopping in the back of my closet.” It was purchased, once worn and then forgotten. When it was re-discovered it brought back the distant memory of the acquisition and the wonderment of why did I forget it was there?

In a way, the rediscovery of our Spiritual Center is the same as the lost blouse.

On some degree of remembering we know where we “left” our Self. We have a vague memory of the Oneness but somehow it was laid down somewhere when we were otherwise occupied, usually with some ego issue. After a bit we went looking for that Wholeness, but since it is the essence of quiet we could not locate it unless we too were quiet.

As time passed (or seemed to) we started to miss the Wholeness. In fact there seemed to be a hole within that could not be satisfied by any ego action, work or purchase. In that instant we went to” the back of closet” to see if perhaps we could locate that not quite forgotten Self.

Travelling a spiritual path is like real estate it is all about “location, location, location.”

Everyone is on a path, even those that seem to still be sleeping. It is only a question of where on the chosen path we think we are and our thought of just how far away is the journey’s end. There is no mapping device provided, but neither is one needed. The goal is always there, in this case within, so it is much more a rediscovery rather than a quest. We search for what we already have, like the clothing in the back of closet.

“What had been lost has now been found. The peace of God descends on all the world, and we can see. And we can see!” (Manual for Teachers #19)

Let Us Remember There IS Great Love Here For US Now!!!
