It IS…Until It Isn’t
Humans find the spiritual Law of Allowance a challenging practice. This concept, often called the Law of Non-Interference, relates to the idea that Spirit cannot – will not interfere with our creative/growth processes.
Yet so many exude energy, time and focus railing against what IS for someone else. Why? We believe WE know more than another. From our superior ego-centered knowing, we clearly see how another should handle their life, actions or thoughts. We are positive that if we were in their shoes, we would behave differently.
However, much like Spirit, we cannot carry out the work, nor do the vital learning for someone else. We cannot climb within them to open the windows to their world. The Law of Allowance sends the message that there must be a loving surrender for all things to BE in their own time and place.
What can we do? We can practice love, compassion, support or acceptance without judgment for that which IS. We can continuously work to become a more expansive being, and look for the shining beacons that offer the knowledge WE seek. We can begin with ourselves.
Janice, this is so true and we waste so much time and energy by not following this principle.I had a teacher who drew an analogy to this, comparing ourselves to a rock in the river..the rock remains while the water flows over and around.The rock remains steady and the river continues, undisturbed. Of course , it was said more articulately than I have said it, but you get the drift. Pun intended. Love your reminders.
