Recently, many people have shared with me how frustrated or angry they are with their romantic partners, with politicians, with business leaders, and so forth. They have said, as I said this morning, "If only they would change..." Of course, it would be nice if they would change – that's true. It’s wonderful whenever anyone becomes more loving, patient, and kind. But as A Course in Miracles implies, focusing on other people's errors is a trap. Not only can we not force a change upon others, but trying to correct them is a way of avoiding our own inner correction. To paraphrase the Course, the world needs to be flooded in divine love – and it needs to come through you and me. We are, each of us, infinitely-capable conduits for it. There is no limit to the blessings that can flow through us. But no miracles can flow while we hold on tightly to our own inner blocks. Our job is to let God work in us, and through us. As we do that, we become conduits for what everyone craves: the experience of divine love, wisdom, and peace. It is that love that the world really needs. That love is the ultimate correction – and it simply needs an opening. Instead of saying: "Those women at that table next to me are being unfair to men," (an external perception, which seems to "call for" an external correction) …I could have highlighted my own thoughts/feelings, which were: "I’m feeling defensive. I’m feeling insulted. I’m choosing to see those women as smug, unfair, etc." Blessings to you, Dan Joseph Quiet Mind Newsletter www.DanJoseph.com
