“I honor the place in you in which the entire Universe dwells. I honor the place in you, which is of love, of light, of truth and of peace”-Ram Dass
Namaste
The quote above is a very good definition for the word Namaste. Namaste is a Sanskrit word meaning: The God/Goddess Spirit within me recognizes and honors the God/Goddess Spirit within you.
This is what the Law of Allowing is trying to teach us that we’re all one linked together through a Universal Collective-Intelligence. And that every last one of us has a God Essence within us. It is because of this God Essence that we’re all brothers and sisters.
The Law of Allowing really is the hardest of all the Universal Laws to master, because it requires us to stop being human. What I mean by that is that it requires us to stop doing a very human thing such as seeing right and wrong.
The vast majority of us grew up with a very definite idea of right and wrong based on teachings from our parents and religious backgrounds. So when you tell someone there is no right or wrong only choices they tend to disagree fervently.
They begin listing all the things that they perceive as wrongs. Then they start asking questions like what about murder and what about stealing? And the answer remains the same…there is no right or wrong only choices.
Along with the ideals of right and wrong, we are taught that we also have free will or “The power of making free choices that are unconstrained by external circumstances or by an agency such as fate or divine will.”
Everything that happens in our lives is by our own choice. And we have to allow others to make whatever choices they choose to make with out having any type of emotional attachment to the circumstance or the choice.
If you look at a clump of dirt just lying on the ground, do you feel anything about that clump of dirt? Do you have any emotions at all? Do you care if that clump of dirt is blown away by the wind? Or, if someone came up and kicked the clump of dirt into the street? Most likely, you wouldn’t even notice that clump of dirt let alone have any reaction whatsoever.
Practicing Spiritual MYOB
Unless an issue directly affects your life or well-being or you’re personally being harmed or threatened in some way, this is the same exact feelings, you must have about the things others do in order to master the law of allowing. You must learn to practice some serious spiritual MYOB (mind your own business).
Believe me I can hear you saying, “Well isn’t that very selfish of me? If it doesn’t affect me, turn a blind eye to it. That’s already what’s wrong in the world. People being selfish (fill in the blank with any derogatory word you like). I hear you, because I thought the same things at first.
But then as I began consciously to practice the law of allowing I realized that holding any kind of emotion other than love and acceptance toward my earthly brothers and sisters meant that I wasn’t living up to the God Essence that dwells inside me.
And that was in direct conflict with “Joy,” my inner GPS or (Guidance Prescience ((((advanced knowledge of things)) Source) I knew this because I’d feel negative feelings such as anger, jealousy, loathing, hate, disgust, you name it. And I know that feeling negative in any way means I’m not in connection with Joy.
To fully master the law of allowing take a step back and just watch what other people do with out passing any kind of judgment. Instead of thinking their behavior is either right or wrong, moral or immoral, simply make a conscious commitment to yourself that you’ll not interfere or feel negative emotions no matter the situation.
Then watch for signs that you’re feeling negative. When you recognize the negative emotions starting to take over just say to yourself…I understand that they have free will. These are their choices but I choose something different for my life at this moment. When you can do this without feeling anything at all, you will be on your way to mastering the law of allowing.
