DIVINE WILL #2
As I look over what we covered this week, it seems a bit of a potpourri, so I will try to tie it all together.
First, Paul explores into the subject of anger. Anger can serve us as sort of an emotional alarm clock, that lets us know something is up; something is going on with us that needs attention. Now we do not have to respond with anger. The guides suggest that many times anger will really be a a reflection of unrecognized self-esteem issues. I might need to stand up for myself or find another way to deal with a situation rather than be a victim to it.
So my awakened awareness can lead me to better ways to deal with situations that trigger anger. In my awareness I might also realize my anger (or any other emotion) is out of proportion to the situation. In these instances I will need to delve deeper into the cause of my feeling and take responsibility for it was well. There will be some necessary work to be done with that emotion and that awareness.
And, then there is the healing of letting go::
“And I am doing this through this intention. I am now choosing to release the frequency of anger in Divine Love. I am now choosing to release this fear that this anger is born out of and any attachments I may be having to outcomes or expectations based on others’ behavior. I am Word through this intention. Word I am Word.”
As with much of this work, the energy of release is propelled by willingness and intention. When we are grateful to the anger as a reminder of something within needing to be contended with, accepting responsibility for the anger as well as what the anger is pointing to, and there calling on our Divine/inner self to release and heal all that no longer serves me.

“There will be times where you will confront something, an obstacle in the path that will require you to change your notion of who and what you are and who and what you thought you were. And we will say always that these are opportunities to transform the self in consciousness.”
This is such a powerful beautiful statement. I would encourage us all to look at some moments in our lives when we "transcended" or went beyond our preconceived vision of ourselves. Just make a short list of times when you "surprised" yourself by moving beyond or through some barriers or boundaries. "I can never quit smoking." " I tried writing music years ago; I just couldn't do it." "There's no way I can make that speech." I can never forgive myself." ETC.
Then you can ask yourself: "Who/What within me did this work?
As we explore this, we become more aware of the power within; the Divine Will working within us.
************
Then this last section for this week is exploring the alignment of my will and Divine Will.
Most of us get in tune with what we want/desire/think we should have and then pray that it be manifested. In other words, we find our will and then pray that somehow that my will becomes their Divine Will. You probably see how upside down that is, but it is our usual MO when we are not in awareness.
Please know there is nothing wrong with wanting or getting what you want; we still have a human nature, but we are being asked to become aware when our human desires interfere with the desires of the soul.
It is easy to begin to think that satisfying our human desires will bring us the spiritual/Divine peace we are looking for.
Getting in touch with my Divine self that will always desire Peace and letting that be in alignment with my human self is the goal.
So, perhaps asking myself, "Will this (thought/action) interfere with the peace of my soul?"
“I am knowing myself as in alignment with the Divine Will. And my experience of myself in will is manifested in ways that I can know and experience. I am Word through this intention. Word I am Word.”
You must claim your power to do this!
