In those times of deliberate self- deception, if we can be aware enough to ask ourselves, “What is it I am covering up with these lying sentences? What is it I am trying so desperately not to hear, see or feel?”  Remember: Our soul at that instant conveys a message so sublime, though the vehicle of expression is often masked and distorted. We often mistake the quest for truth and liberation as self-centered, self absorbed, self interested when not delivered in the manner we deem fit. . The lies are the veiled concepts of truth we so earnestly yearn for.

We are so vicariously slanted, embalmingly influenced and rhetorically subdued by our own soothing words of numbed self-intoxication, we miss the wisp of stark freedom that breezed by our face veiled in the words of apparent lies.  We look dead into the eyes of our liberator and call him/her a coward, liar or jerk, instead.  We prevent the entrance of what we are looking for because we are looking for permission to continue to stay undisturbed. In essence, the ant that crawls across our face, we wipe it away. (It bothers us.)

 When will we but recognize the incognito liberator who has come to set us free from our own derisions and imposter motives? Can it be today? Yes, I say again yes! These menacing confrontations are food (feast) for the soul. When one is deprived of these encounters, the soul withers and retreats. To deny the soul these awkward, uncomfortable and reoccurring nameless situations, the ones that leave us the most confused, angry, bewildered and denigrated are the true angels in disguise. Why stifle, cripple and stunt the soul’s elaborately disguised disfigured expression? Fling open arms of accessible delight!

How ironic it is that when we ask for the soul to show itself and it does, we not only question the oblique messenger but the pertinent message, as well.  He/she arrives via camouflaged in chaotic unrest and indecisive ambiguity. Discord, disdain and disagreement, trouble and malady, sickness, defeat, betrayal, set in a grand stage of a most rigorous display of egotistic attitude.  The next time you find yourself in a disagreeable situation or defensive position, ask yourself: did the conversation or confrontation occur naturally without being forced or staged, and did it come out of left field exaggerated with no explanation?

Then, Alas! You will know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the incomparable sacred the soul was responsible! No amount of prayerful preparation, worry, concern, debate, excuse can offset, delay or postpone or sway the color of the soul’s insistent invitation for valid experience. The soul will gobble up your day’s authentic activities and spew out disinterested distraction. To erroneously think that you can overcome the soul’s intent by will power is surely to evoke more of its guileless purity in disguised gut wrenching situations. The same goes for all of your ulterior motives to remain fixed and unbothered.

No longer do you have to be fooled by that which so easily besets you If You will but pay attention to the obvious signs.  This is the appropriate soil to be toiled. THIS IS THAT opportunity of Divine growth and exaltation. Let us stand in the midst as the gracious almighty whirlwind that spins about us. Be jubilantly still and tenaciously certain that our sacred transcendent soul unfolds its awesome declaration of ineffable release. With yet another hint of our beautiful and replenishing joyous aspect of ourselves unveiled, we are able to embrace our turbulent mysterious delirious lauded destiny with undaunted conviction.
