In the
Gospels Matthew and Luke both quote Jesus as saying “For where your treasure
lies, there your heart will also be”. In
working through my lessons I find myself working the other way, determining
what is in my heart and thus finding my treasures. It is quite an excavation process.
It has been noted that frequently people
will sign up for some sort of diet plan or they will buy a magic pill and that
is as much of the work as they do as they continue down the same old path of
eating. I find that I am judging myself
in realizing that I have read so many books and done so much research but while
I have done the exercises “in my mind” I have not papered them. It is amazing to realize that there is a huge
difference in writing things down, in papering the exercises and simply
reading, believing you have understood and absorbed the lesson. It is really only skimming the surface when
you read self-help books. That is only
the first step in the process of trying to find the solution to whatever it is
you are seeking. Sitting back and
expecting results is going to be a long period of nothing.
I’m sorry to break it to you, but there
it is. As much as you may enjoy reading,
that is not enough. You need to do the
work which is what I have been discovering as I work determinedly through my
lessons. A true Aha Moment for me.
But I am finding my bliss, what can be
better than that?
