You believe you are personally responsible for your survival, but you can change your mind about that! The belief that you are a separate individual creates exhaustion, weariness, depression. When you are tired of the rat race, ask instead for guidance. This goes beyond material props. It is about the attitude of joy that happens spontaneously as you open to divine inspiration.
In the story of Pinocchio when he want’s to become a real boy, he’s taken to Pleasure Island, and some scary things happen! The body is like a puppet, wanting to be real. A Course in Miracles talks about the authority problem; wanting to make the puppet real. You get to experience trying to make a living, fighting off disease and death, struggling to survive. It’s a drama! Your prayer to the Holy Spirit can be, “Get me back on the strings!” Or as Saint Francis said, “Make me an instrument.”
The ego made up time and space, it made up the body, and it made up the concept of the doer. You are a human doing and need to get back to being. You might have a few moments of meditation, or being, and then you are back to the rat race! It’s everywhere. It’s the human condition.
The idea, “I need do nothing” (T-18.VII) which Jesus shares in ACIM, means coming into a state of stillness and letting go of the doer. Let go of responsibility. Align with Spirit and let Spirit do through you. Learn to share. As you share ideas you strengthen them. When you are guided, everything is provided. There is free lunch! Your Creator created you to be happy.
