Decide, Give, Worship

I couldn't get logged into the blog the last couple of days . . .in all honesty, I didn't try very hard. . .My two meditations that I did not blog were not really what I would call peaceful.  Yesterday when I started to meditate, I couldn't settle down very well and when I finally did get somewhat settled, the cat jumped up on me.  First she was purring really loud then she started licking herself. . . just not very peaceful.  I thought, hey this may be a good opportunity for me to really center myself and tune the cat out.  Alas, apparently I am not there yet.

Today however was very good.  I always know when I am in Presence as I do not wish to come out of meditation.  Today was like that.  As I brought myself to a beta state, I was repeating "closer to One" as my focus phrase.  Closer to One, as I repeat this, I found myself trying to understand the meaning of the phrase or at least what it means to me.  It seems a little like my body can be compared to a "divine" car.  It occurred to me that in a very similar way to driving my car down the street, I am driving my body through life.  If my windows are down and I hear all the hustle and bustle outside, it is easy to distract myself.  When I have the windows up and I turn on the radio, it is easy to get lost in a song.  When I choose to though, I can just be safely in my car and notice and experience all the things around or not.  Meditation seems a little like that--being quite in my body and noticing noticing.

As I got closer to One, it was a little as though I heard God say "Decide."  It was not really clear to me what that meant so I just stayed quiet.  'Decide, and I will move heaven and earth to make it happen."  Okay, I will be with that.  Next it was "Give".  As I thought about that, I thought, give what?  The message was that I have an ocean of intangible stuff inside me to give.  Stuff that makes people feel good, makes people feel loved, and makes others and myself happy.  That is what I should give and I should give it without reserve.  Why don't I already do that?  I don't know?  Finally, worship.  Now that is a pretty strong word I thought.  Worship what?  Worship God?  That is so ethereal. . .I am pretty sure I worship God presently and at times even fervently.  Is that not enough?  We are all created in the likeness of God.  We are all created from God.  I have had a fair amount of logic classes and other classes such as physics and chemistry and by all physical laws and logical deductions, a reasonable conclusion may be that if we worship one another, we would, in a very real sense, be worshiping God.    Well, with all that , I thought I either need to start my own cult or perhaps explore this a bit more.  The idea that occurred to me was that I should try an experiment with my wife.  Perhaps we should take a short time each day and worship each other.  I am not really clear what that means yet but if she is willing, I think it will be fun.  What is the worse that can happen, we will just love each other a little more.

A lot to take away, Decide, Give Worship--I'll do it though!
