He is given to say, “Thy will be done.”

The rest of the text for this post follows right after this video pane:

People have taken that saying to mean that God is going give you what life you are going to live. In other words, you are fated to be and do as some outside force wishes. You have little or no say in what your life will be.

Your happiness is determined by an outside force, so many people believe.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

It is true that a natural disaster such as a tornado may indeed affect your life. That is an outside force over which you have no control.

However, if you had built or made ready a storm shelter with provisions for a disaster such as food and water, you might have shaped your own outcome. So you have some say-so in the matter.

The point of this article is that you do have a part to play in determining your own meaning and happiness. It is not simply handed to you on a silver platter or imposed upon you as fate.

You are not destined to have this degree of happiness or that degree of meaning. These are not thrust upon you in certain amounts by an outside source, namely God.

You choose how much meaning and happiness you shall have.

How? By the connection you cultivate and maintain between yourself and The All There Is (Tathis).

(Tathis is a word I coined to subtract as much baggage as possible from the term “God.” It is a combination of the first letter of The, the first letter of All, the first two letters of There, and the entire word Is. It is pronounced with a long “a” [as in plate] and the  word “this.”)

You build such a linkage through the use of meditation or prayer. It is a discovery of the totally unconditional acceptance that Tathis extends to you.

Please notice I stated, “extends to you.” Tathis does not give something to you in the conventional sense of the word “give.” You already have everything because you are a division of Tathis. So, Tathis need not give you anything you already possess.

Tathis extends to you unconditional acceptance in that relationship you establish with Tathis. In other words, that acceptance is already there but now it feels like it  is flowing toward you.

You have opened yourself to that confirmation. That confirmation was always moving toward you, you just didn’t realize it.

You always have the choice to turn and move yourself toward a rendezvous with Tathis. “God” does not impose anything on you. You are free.

In this freedom is your great choice. But it is in that choice that you begin to make your own life your own life.

Sounds redundant and ridiculous, doesn’t it? Because Tathis does not impose anything on you, you make your life what it is. By your choices and your intentions you attract to yourself all that you will find in life.

Yes, there will still be those incidents where something will be forced upon you from the outside. Still, you have the rock-solid opportunity to make a choice about how you will react to any happening in your life.

Beyond these forced events, however, you attract to your life that which you are. When you find your meaning and happiness, you will be attracting positive people and happenings to your life.

Why? Because you will be in that mode. What mode is that? The style of fashioning your own tomorrows. Forging what the next minute of your life will be all about. You have the choice, always, of having your life be full of meaning and happiness, or full of sorrow and despair because you believe you are fated in a certain way.

Do not ever let anyone try to convince you that your life is simply planned for you – that you are fated to have or have not … anything.

The choice is always yours. So, it is not “thy will be done,” in the conventional sense. It is done as you will it to be, when you will it to be.

Get to it.

One Person Can Change The World

There once was a pilgrim whose name was Anton. He sought the holy place where it was said that the Spirit of his God dwelt. He walked the dusty roads of the great distance it was from his home to the shrine. He walked at a leisurely pace, stopping frequently for rest and relaxation. He believed his God would still be there whenever he arrived. His fellow pilgrims sometimes envied him his easygoing rate. They felt themselves in a far greater hurry to reach the shrine and worship. But these fellow pilgrims could find nothing wrong or sacrilegious in the Anton’s pace. They found no fault in his answer that the Spirit would be there whenever he arrived.

One day, near his journey’s end, Anton felt ill. He only traveled two miles that day. The illness just debilitated him. The next day, just a few steps down the road and Anton collapsed and died.

His fellow pilgrim heard of this, of course. They said of Anton that he appeared to be a good man. But maybe his timing was off. Surely the Spirit would still be in place, but Anton would not be at the shrine whenever. . . .

What he needed to have done, they said, was to boost his level of will and sincerity. One doesn’t ever know, they said, when one might want to have accomplished something when it turns out to be too late. Anton, they said, had needed to increase his level of personal will to reach his goal as soon as humanly possible. Surely he did not need to put himself under undo pressure, for God would be there always. Yes, they said, he needed to deepen his commitment to his goal.

And, they said, he needed to increase his apparent level of sincerity. Of course, they couldn’t tell what his degree of sincerity was. No one can read another’s soul. But it appeared as if Anton, to them, didn’t really care all that much. Or he would have picked up the tempo of his travels.

They shook their heads in incredulity as they increased their own tempo of walking and thought, within themselves, of their own will to worship

at the shrine as soon as possible. Were they more like Anton than they would admit, even to their fellow pilgrims?

Are you like Anton? Do you want happiness and, therefore, to know the meaning of life? But you think it will always be there? What’s the rush? It is true, happiness will always be there within you. No need to stress yourself over it. But what are you missing when you don’t put as much of your will into as you can? If you only pretend sincerity? Or, at least, shave off some of the sincerity you have stored up within you?

Seek the happiness that lies within through Connection to the Divine Matrix as best you may right now. Though God is always there waiting for your to make the link between the two of you, perhaps it behooves you to dip deep into the well of your sincerity and draw forth all you can carry right now.
