{Take a ride with me today and follow me for a few minutes. Suspend your judgment until you get to the end.}
Picture your car taking off one day without you!
You’d gotten up an hour late, and your car, knowing the time it usually moves, decided to just take off.
It knew the route to travel and street by street, highway by highway, it knew how to get to its destination. It just didn’t have time to wait around for you. But the car was smart enough to put a dummy inside, Phantom YU, so no one would know that it was driving alone!
The car parked itself and waited outside as Phantom YU, the dummy, walked into the building of your workplace.
Meanwhile, back at home, you’re at a loss to figure out what happened!
How could the car ...just TAKE OFF...without you?
How could it decide that it can function, just like you weren’t even there?
How could it have the nerve to believe that it could work without you?
You can’t work up anger, because you’re so concerned.
What will happen to the car, out there all alone?
How will it survive?
Sooner or later, it will need gas, and Phantom YU has never been a careful planner, so you know it might be low on funds.
Just then, Phantom YU, too, is waking up from the long drive it took down all those streets, across so many highways. It’s gotten into your place of work, and it's like HELL in there!
All the stuff that can happen in a place when you don’t get to show up: backbiting, scheming, screaming, back talking and all sorts of crazy stuff is happening. Phantom YU becomes confused.
How did I get here? He wondered...How in the world DID I GET HERE...today?
Phantom YU becomes distressed, tearful.
He steps out of the building and gets back into the insolent car.
It wouldn’t start.
The car got scared too and decided it was not going to move forward or backward with Phantom YU. It was just going to stand still.
That’s when Phantom YU, the dummy, had the clearest insight he’s had all day.
Call home!
Yes, call home!
Call home for help!
You’re so glad to hear the phone ring, you pick it up at the first ring.
“Hold on, Phantom YU,” you say. “I’m coming...I’m on my way. Everything’s going to be all right!”
Whew!
You get to Phantom YU and the car just in time.
They are both falling apart in despair...barely clinging to their hope that things would get better.
When they see you walk up with a smile of forgiveness, they know they are safe again.
They know that your forgiving, loving arms are all they needed. They know they are home.
Imagine that day of desolation!
Imagine that day is the replay every day we step outside of ourselves...into our lives...not thinking about God: our own consciousness, our own awareness, our own guide and intuition.
Imagine you’re the car and the dummy driving. Going along oblivious to your guide, until you finally, finally break down and ask for help.
God is always there. Get conscious to the Spirit within you and aware that without this guide, you cannot BE! Recognize this and know that this Spirit within you will never, ever leave you to walk...or drive...into the world alone.
All you need do is say, "Thank YOU!" and Follow where it leads!
"Not my will but thine be done!"
Namaste’,
Che’
