You might think of yourself as a slow-moving ship, gliding along life like a large tanker. At the bow is an “ocean” of trash as far as the eye can see. Looking forward, it’s fuzzy and the “path” is littered with debris.
If you turn back and look at the stern however, you’ll see a perfectly carved trail, albeit circuitous and zigzagging, but nonetheless you made it. But looking back only goes so far. Eventually, the further back into the trail of the wake you go, the fuzziness and debris covers again. Yet, you can see just how far you’ve come through the muck.
We often think we’re pushing through the soup, “pressing on” as they say. But that’s not it. You charter the so-called course in your heart and mind. Then, the debris conforms to the shape of what’s in you. So, it appears as though you are moving. But you are essentially stationary. You’re the fortress, and the “cutting through” is an attraction towards, not a movement through. Things move into your outer vision from your inner vision.
Be a negative Nancy, and life will appear like you’re always “headed” for danger. You’re not carving into anything; however. You’re not pressing on, it’s coming on. You’re bringing it on. The illusion is that you’re moving “into” it. But you’re not. You’re arranging it internally before it appears on the bow.
Pressing on or muddling through implies pushing; but the Power is stationary. You are the rock, the everlasting foundation. Your exterior conditions form around. They conform based on how you’re being in-formed. You’re the Power that shapes it all around. You’re commanding the appearance of movement, but going nowhere. You’re not a ship really, you’re a mighty fortress. Inform yourself, and the world will conform to the Truth of wisdom that lies within you.
