~Commentary on Obedience~

 I have asked for obedience, and this frightens you, but obedience is nothing to fear. In fact, if you look at this rationally you will see that you are always being obedient. It is just that you are being obedient to one voice or the other, but the choice not to be obedient  is an illusion. In that, it is a choice in itself. It is a choice to believe illusion.

Obedience, which you cannot avoid, is sharing. It is the sharing of thought. And therefore, it is the creation of experience.

By being obedient to the thought that seems to be independent thought (or thinking), you create the illusion of independence. Yet because this idea is shared, it is an illusion. In the creation of this illusion, you also find the creation of all pain.

By being obedient to the Voice of true authority, you choose to listen to your own Voice of Love, which knows it is sharing and unbroken, and so it communicates the truer aspects of the flow.

I say that to listen is to love, because to listen is to know your own Heart. In knowing your own Heart, you know love, and so you are  love, because your knowing isn’t hidden by illusion.

Obedience is a temporary measure, because the purpose of obedience is to retrain the mind to listen. Once listening becomes your natural joy…your pleasure…there will no longer be a need for the thought of obedience.

However, be wary of the idea that says you are independent and therefore no longer in need of obedience. Any thought that says you are independent is not the love of listening…the joy of connection…and so it isn’t the Voice of your Love.

Today’s reading is brief, but it is filled with wisdom that inspires us to make a firm commitment to the motive we have chosen. A firm commitment to our motive is a firm commitment to truth. It is a firm commitment to Self. It is a firm commitment to peace and to joy.

I recommend reading today’s reading slowly and contemplatively, preferably multiple times throughout the day. It’s a short reading, so it isn’t difficult to read it more than once. You could also write down some of your favorite sentences from today’s reading, carry them with you, and review them throughout the day.

Today is also a good day to review Chapter 15 from The Untethered Soul  by Michael Singer.

Immerse yourself in today’s message in whatever way feels most guided for you.
