Not feeling good enough, smart enough, energized enough or deserving enough, is what keeps us from being able to Serve Truth; even when we ARE willing to be of service. Because these feeling-states (all those 'enough's') are not based on Truth, but rather on illusion and misconception, it is incredibly difficult to be in service of truth from this way of being.
In Michael Singer’s book 'The Surrender Experiment',
he writes of his commitment to accept whatever it is he is asked to do--even
when he is in doubt about his abilities, or if the request doesn’t make sense in his logical mind. This commitment is an act of faith; a faith which develops over
time. Having faith allows us to move past our need to be 'enough', and to serve without any need to predict the outcome. It is an act that develops
with practice. It does not just happen. We
must ask and invite it to become a part of our life.
Prayer and contemplation are key to
receiving the direction we need, and to hear what 'Service to Truth' is being asked of us.
Self Reflection: I become aware of
what weighs me down. As the full moon approaches, I begin sorting what am I
willing to release my control over, and what guidance I am now willing to receive, so I may be more visible and freer to serve the world and my
true self.
