We are all “lifelong learners” but we are taught early on to “figure things out.” Everyone can remember being told as a child, “Think about it. You’ll figure it out.” As we move through life, we spend more and more time going over and over life situations in our minds, trying to come up with answers, or asking other people for answers and then trying to figure out how to follow their ideas. This takes us away from the most wonderful resource we have: the ability to have original thought, ideas that occur to us out of the blue in a quiet state of mind. When we are looking for what we don’t know, we won’t find it in our stored thought (our personal mind), which only contains memories, things we DO know. But we have a safety net, the capacity to stop trying to come up with an answer and wait, in a quiet state of mind, to see what occurs to us. Fresh answers come from before our personal thought; they arise from a deeper wisdom, before thought, always accessible when we have faith it is there for us.
You Ladies Rock! And this episode is now at the top of my “Best Yet!” list! You both are just like Tinker Bell with her magic wand, sprinkling us with fairy dust that awakens our eyes and minds to see, hear and trust our Inner Wisdom. I think it’s time to replace the famous _Star Wars_ (A New Hope, 1977) quote “May The Force Be with You!” with this: May You Feel The Force That Is Always with You!” P.S. As Jyn Erso, heroine of _Star Wars_ (Rogue One, 2016) told us, “Rebellions are built on hope.”
Thanks Biz! What a beautiful comment. 🙂
