Getting out of the trap of serving two masters.
The way out is NOT to try to figure anything out to the point of my own understanding, but to be guided beyond my own understanding, what now?
“Trust in I AM that, I AM with my heart and it will lead me, acknowledge my heart (unconscious flow –a verb, not a noun or “name”–) and it will direct my actions in its righteousness; end of conflict, end of stress.
What’s that to me whether somebody else is being led differently? I can honor their choice and their leading for them and not be under any stress over it; by following the direction I’m being given.
Lead me to the point of trusting in creative power (another verb, not a noun) and not being caught in cognitive reasoning or a conscious flow that believes it knows anything.
The creative power operating throughout the universe and continually producing new galaxies, stars and planets is controlling the rhythm of my heart and continually producing new cells, a microcosm of the universe.
Stress impedes the unconscious flow; I AM that, I AM and so are you is the guide and the guided = ONE.
“The tao cannot be understood or named, if you can name it, it isn’t the tao or of the tao.” This isn’t Taoism, for Taoism is a name or label for a set of principles and doctrines about those principles arrived at through cognitive reasoning and understanding and is a violation of the presumed basis for its own stated doctrine.
All religions are labeled and, therefore, a result of assumed “consciousness” or “awareness” of seeming truth which is the trap we are escaping.
