The C2C reading for March 21 focuses on listening to the still small voice within and then acting upon what we hear
It points out that we cannot see around blind corners and that if we simply ask for guidance, listen and act we will be directed in the right path. The reading goes on to suggest that we may have an easier time when we follow the dictates of logic, convenience or experience, but are we are cheating ourselves out of something much better. Today if we find ourselves at a crossroads and listen to our Higher Power's voice, we may take a different direction.
. The quote is from Albert Einstein; "the intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. It comes in a leap in of consciousness, call it intuition or what you will, and the solution comes to you and you don't know how or why."
I know I have experienced this. I have taken an action, after listening to the small voice within, being terrified but trusting and in retrospect that was the best choice possible. It is easy to listen to the small voice as it is gentle and not threatening . My own negative voices scream at me all the time.
Thank you Betty for the daily and your service. My own intelligence took me to my knees, and my self-will broke me.....This reading reminds me how powerless I am over others, and how grateful I am to have a higher power who has my back when I remain open.
Being still and listening is still difficult for me at times, but I am seeing progress. I am so grateful for this program and those who came before me - I am constantly encouraged to use the tools and the more I do, the more automatic it feels.
Albert Einstein must have been in the program - eh? Ha.ha.ha. Very wise man full of wisdom!
Have a great day too Betty and know that I am grateful for you and all you do here for all of us...(((Hugs)))
