Trusting What Is: Divine Providence

In the world, it can be quite common to go through the motions without really stopping to ask, “What is it for? What is the purpose of what is being done?” It can initially be helpful to pause and ask: is this being done out of the Inspiration, Joy, and Love that is from the Self in Christ, or is this being done out of the fear and control from a personal sense of self?

What is the purpose of education? To gain credentials for a career. What is the purpose of a career? To make money and attain long-lasting employment. What is the purpose of money and long-lasting employment? To pay the bills and provide more opportunities to do more things. What is the purpose of these? To have a home and money to do things. What is the purpose of having a home and money? So you can have security and freedom.

When inquired into, you can see that it is the belief that your security and freedom come from the world and the body that is driving these actions. You can also see the underlying fear of a future consequence of ending up on the street, or that you are not provided for by God if you stopped, which is running as an underlying filter of fear, control, and concern in all actions.

As you begin to inquire into the purpose of everything that you seem to do, you can get to the core of why you are doing things. It can be easily seen if you are following the enemy’s purpose of fear, lack or control, or the Holy Spirit’s purpose of intuitive Inspiration, Passion and Peace by how you feel.

When God has been forgotten, one perceives oneself as a separate self that is fearful and lacking. One perceives all of one’s perceived needs or solutions as being outside in the world of perception. This is to meet the need externally through jobs, out of the fear of survival and future consequences of ending up on the street.

Just like fingers on a hand, unquestioned beliefs act as a seeming cover over the palm. Here, one believes one is a finger, separated from the entirety of the hand and all of the other fingers. It forgets that it is connected to the entirety of the hand itself, and thinks it now has to provide for itself. Using this analogy, it is clearly seen as a misperception.

Through raising these beliefs and thoughts to doubt, this is all designed to bring one back to where the real choice is: the stepping-stone decision between the Holy Spirit, the Thoughts you think with God, or the deceiver, who speaks against God.

Just like when you’re watching a movie, the problem is never on the screen; it is what is being believed and interpreted about the screen that is the problem. You can say, “Don’t turn left!” to the movie actor, but it won’t do anything.

While you value the great deceiver, the quiet inner Voice of the Holy Spirit will always practically work with you. It will meet you where you are and unwind you from the complexities of the deceiver. This is an unwinding from banging on the movie screen to get it to change, to seeing it is the interpretations and judgements about the movie that is the problem.

By seeing that it is how you are watching the movie that is the problem, this provides a seeming effective solution to a seeming problem. You now have a choice of how you want to watch the movie. This occurs by a change of purpose in mind, the Holy Spirit’s purpose of forgiveness: questioning the validity of the deceiver and its unloving thoughts, which seems to cover over the awareness of Divine Providence or God.     Yet, it is all just a seeming, as the Self in Christ never had to surrender a false sense of self.

It is an opening to see that it is not money that is the problem. It is the false thoughts and beliefs that are held about money, that is where the fearful emotions and perceptions are coming into play. Only by returning to where the cause of the problem is can you bring about a true perceptual change. By placing the solution outside, you believe yourself to be a helpless victim with no real solution.

By raising to doubt the validity of the voice of the adversary, which often appears as, “I won’t be provided for. I will lose my house. I won’t have money to eat or pay rent,” you recognise that these thoughts are only an effect of valuing the voice of the deceiver. That is the only problem.

The adversary reasons, “You weren’t provided for in the past by God and will end up on the street in the future.” Using an imagined past and future to skip over the Peace of God in the Present Moment, the enemy falsely counsels the mind that the future will be unlike the present.

In observing these thoughts in non-judgement, with the Light of the Holy Spirit, they are seen as false. It is recognised that these thoughts were never yours, the Thoughts you think with God, and you did not have to value and misidentify with them as if they were. The seeming problem is seen as already solved, as these thoughts are not true in nature. They arise and disappear from what has no cause, being its ‘own god’. Having no cause, therefore, they have no value as they speak against what is Real, True and Valuable.

These unreal thoughts, always based on a hypothetical past and future, were the seeming trick of the adversary to keep one in fear. In quiet hopes that one didn’t realise the falsity of it all, and then relax into the consistent Peace that is sourced from God’s Eternal Love for you in Him.

The personal responsibility of being ‘the provider or the doer,’ is also included in the identity of the enemy, who has left God. God is Provider. God is Supply. You, being a child of God, will always be provided for and supported, and this will be shown in the world as things showing up in synchronistic ways that could not have been planned for.

“Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?” Matthew 6:28-30

The more one acts on passion, questioning any false beliefs that arise in the moment while acting on intuitive guidance from the Holy Spirit, the more aware you become of synchronicity. When the mind is not seemingly weighed down by the gravity of what is not real, the mind is aware of all of the synchronistic opportunities that seem to align ‘coincidentally’.

Just as money is a mutually agreed upon definition of worldly abundance, it is just one way abundance can reach you. Synchronicity is another avenue that the Holy Spirit can use. Synchronicity is always there, but the awareness of it is just seemingly obscured. Regardless of what happens, one now has spiritual Abundance, for God is Abundance.

In this shift of purpose, from striving for security in the world to God, every need that one perceives to have will be met to support one in this holy purpose. In the Light of Christ, fear is replaced with Love and the mind relaxes into God.

It is here that it is recognised and experienced that there are actually no needs. For the desire to add more, get more of something, manifest more or change something in the world was all part of the false scheme of the deceiver to distract you away from God; a denial of what is given through Grace.

Divine Providence is a present experience. You can’t plan it. You can’t intellectualise it. Christ is ego-proof. A total Knowing that everything is perfect as it is right now, according to His Plan, and that nothing could be any different than how it is right now. One is free to extend the childlike gleefulness that comes from the recognition that everything is provided when it is needed, from moment-to-moment. A spontaneous and intuitive life like the birds, animals, trees and flowers which do not work but are perfectly provided for.

This is what it is all about!

Everyone is here to recognise God’s Love as Abundant! Rejoice that the past and future never played a part, and it was only unquestioned thoughts and beliefs which blocked the awareness of this. The unquestioned sense of ‘a doer’, the fingers of the hand which thought they needed to personally do something to provide was nothing but a misperception of self.

Let yourself be happily carried down the stream.

Remember to laugh, Loved One.
