Kicking against the Goads

by CHICKMELIONfreelance


Why do you despair and fret my dear?

Fully knowing that nothing occurs of it’s own aside from the very will of heaven? Fully knowing that nothing from heaven is cast upon us as refuse... or as bad fruits. Why then do you kick against the goads and sweat? You will only harm yourself and worse miss the blessings intended for you.

For nothing that has been written aside from the hand of Him who creates, can stand the test of time. Their letters will dissipate by the very breath of providence it’s self.

Perhaps if we all kept our hands behind our backs and trust in the processes of providence... would troubles and woes continue to happen ? Maybe...maybe not, but I do know this... it is in our continual insistence in putting our hands towards changing and manipulation our own process of growth, our own spiritual education that we kick our own universal balance off center. For it is when we only think of ourselves that we act in a manner that tears at the very fabric of “oneness”... the oneness that keeps the universe in balance... the very oneness that keeps us all alive. And it is when we fashion our own wills and our own ways, as if we were gods ourselves ( with far less insight and wisdom than the one who fashioned our providence) that we tend to fail and fail miserably. Then we lift our voices to the heavens and release the blame upon a non caring God. Ironic isn’t it? When we ourselves have assumed His role.

Is it the fear of the unknown that leads to the tendencies to reach out and attempt to protect one’s own interests? Thinking as a small speck of dust in the grand scheme of the universe and time...that we are forgotten. Or is it in fact that we ourselves have forgotten... forgotten what was mandated to us, whispered in our ear at birth... proof that our Creator is far from willing to give up on mankind just yet. Continuing to give each and every one of us the gift of life and love despite all our frailties and despite the curses that we lifted up to the heavens.

Is it greed that pulls our hands from behind our backs? Why is there the need for “one-up-man-ship”? It is a totally useless and childish process. Is it that there is not enough blessings in the entire universe to gift to us all? This “me” attitude is like a plague. It tears and scars the very flesh of the universe and the very flesh of our mother earth. Just take a look around and see... yes mankind... this is what our greed has created.

Be still, do not despair and fret. Be happy with who you are and what you have- thereby quieting your very essence. Let stillness fall across your very being and in that stillness open yourself... open your heart and soul to receive the bountiful blessings that heaven has intended for you. Put your hands behind your back and have a little faith mankind... Our creator has not given up on us yet!
