Longing

[This post is a sequel to the previous post which is entitled "$$$Money$$$

Longing
What we long for is always out of reach – it’s supposed to be out of reach – we have to REACH for it - YEARN for it – LONG for it – in order for for the dynamic to have any juice. (“If you are thirsty, the river comes. If you are not thirsty, there is no river.” ~Sat Prem)

So when something comes along and it is something we long for, first we decide to do it and then we figure out how. And that’s when the river of Blessing Force– Shakti – flows in and shows the way. Nature organizes. I’ve seen it happen over and over. I know a woman who longed to go on an extended meditation retreat with her teacher. She had no financial means, but she came up with necessary funds. It was all honest and no credit was involved. She also came up with the necessary support from family and workplace to be away for awhile.

She was called, she was longing. She said “Yes” and made the heart commitment FIRST – and then the other circumstances organized themselves.

Shakti organizes Herself around YES but she is not so interested in “Maybe”.
