Renegade Heart Show, 12-18-11
Tonight we began with a short discussion about the New Year, the 2012 “Shift” that is coming. Not a time for fear, rather it is a time to open up, to be inclusive and not exclusive, to live from our heart as we listen to Father. Gerald O’Donnell speaks a lot about this; be sure to check it out on his website.
This in turn led us into the topic of the evening:
How do we deal with the “bad things” that happen to us, particularly those things that happen to our bodies that leave lasting, deleterious effects.
We tend to ask the question, “Where is God in this? Why doesn’t He love me any more?”
First we made the point that many or most of us get downright angry at “God” when those bad things happen.
Next we started with 2 presuppositions:
1. We are actually spirit beings living outside the 3D world in which we find ourselves.
2. We come to the planet to get “trained” for the realm beyond this 3D world.
That means we are here, in “school.”
At that point we looked at models of learning. One is sitting behind a desk, using the brain. Another is involving the entire body in the process, e.g. as in martial arts.
In this model the “teacher” is a master in his own right because of what he has personally endured, earning a huge degree of respect.
This ‘Sifu’ (teacher) looks at each student with a goal for them in mind which will take them through their own issues and weakness. He accomplishes this goal when the student is willing to immerse himself totally – body,mind,soul – in the process. And at times the Sifu will actually strike the student, even causing pain, as a means of instructing and developing extreme skill in the student.
All of this is done with insight and compassion for the indivdual, tailored to each one’s needs.
OK, if a human Sifu will put a student throught such extremes for the purpose of growth and development, doesn’t it make sense that Loving Father will also push us beyond our comfort zone,physically, emotionally and spiritually to bring us to a extreme level of growth and development?
Absolutely!
Loving Father is not as concerned with our physical body as He is with our spirit being growing. And – He invites us into that place where we can think and feel and grow beyond just the physical.
Cohost Michael also asked the question,
Do we need pain to cause change? and we talked about that a bit. In the middle of that we pointed out that emotional and physical pain is connected.
We then reiterated that if a loving, caring, compassionate master teacher will put us through extreme physical training and pain, won’t our Loving Father do the same for the purpose of Eternal Development?
The question then becomes,
“Did I sign up for this school?”
We think not, but our presupposition is that we came here to the planet on purpose to go to school. We signed up for this class!
However, the first thing that happens in this school is a bully comes to us and asks, “Is this teacher as good, does he really care as much, as he says he is and does?”
It is easy for us to be overtaken with the doubt and opt to follow the bully. Unfortunately, we find out often too late that we don’t develop properly and may even be killed when we do follow the bully.
Regardless, the ‘Sifu’, Father offers us the choice of following the bully or of following him.
From there we talked about the fact that Sifu/Father often suggests we do what we are able and doesn’t just or automatically cause us pain. He wants us to develop but doesn’t want us to either do too much too soon and quit or do only a little and never progress.
Wrapped up in this is the idea that life/Father constantly provides opportunity to change and develop by simple, easy ways before we need to be taught by the more serious, more painful ways.
Bottom line is – our Perception of our Teacher. Michael pinned it!
“Is Sifu/teacher/Father who He says He is?”
Move past the Doubt of who Father is and just give yourself over to His Teaching, to the point of losing even your body.
No matter what, Loving Father knows and is doing exactly what I need.
This brings us right back to the Garden, back to Eden, choosing either Life and Father or Knowledge and ourselves.
Yeshua modeled for us how to make right choices; we need to follow his example. And it is all about Dialoguing with Father, as we have so often said before!
Be sure to listen ot the whole show to get the emotion, the passion, the full meaning.
Until next time,
Move past the fear, listen to Father.
Go in Health!
Blessings,
