Questions for today:
If I’m working to stare-down my body’s grip on my choices, what can I think of, to put my choices into perspective?
We learned that to loosen the body’s grip on the Soul, so that the Soul could be truly one with the Creator, we have to be tough with it.
How do we do that?
King David did it with fasting, but we learned that in our day and age that's going to weaken our ability to serve the Creator, and we shouldn't do it.
Yet sometimes the toughest beating is looking in the mirror. When we see ourselves for who we are, we lose our entire misconception of ourselves, and the soul is free to be what it could be.
This is especially when we realize that, when I do something that I love you could see my life in it. When I'm doing something that I 'have' to do, but I don't like it, it's the opposite.
The same is true with the Creator.
We have the choice to get our life and our energy directly from the source of all life - from the Creator.
Yet sometimes, we find ourselves blindly following and getting our energy from things that the Creator doesn't like.
Instead of getting our life from the source of all life - from the Creator, we're getting it from the opposite.
