I would like to give a bigger response to something that someone asked me in the Ask JC forum. Someone named terri asked me a question which I tried to answer briefly but I am not sure she understood. You can look at the thread if you like.
I don’t worry about terri.
Her response to my answer tells me that she already knows what is going on, even if she don’t think so. I don’t know anything she doesn’t know. We all of us know what we need to know, and that is what I want to ramble on about.
Every one of us knows how to use the steering wheel of our life. We feel confused, we have been made confused by our culture and our up-bringing, and so we have trouble seeing the wheel in front of our nose.
But the wheel is there and using it is simple: Go when it’s time time go, turn when it’s the right time to turn. Or the left time.
How do we know when it’s the right time to go or when it’s time to turn? Simple!
Inside each of us is a guide that tells us exactly where we want to go and how to get there. This guide is more reliable and accurate than one of these here new-fangled GyPSy(GPS) systems that people want to have in their cars.
You can get yourself some kind of spiritual GyPSy system out of a book or some guru may offer you one, but the only reason you would want to do have one of them is because our culture, our society, the paver of our spiritual ecosystem, teaches us to believe that we do not have guides of our own.
Wild things have guides of their own, and that is why our culture is afraid of wildness. Things must be controlled, things must be paved and fenced out and fenced in and dehabilitated.
But the roads that society makes for us are likely to wear out your tires faster and use up your fuel faster that the roads you follow on your own free will. And gates and toll booths on society’s roads are as thick as grease on a beat-up jalopy’s chassis.
Getting past the gates and dodging the truck scales and speed traps is not always easy, but it ain’t impossible, neither.
And there are no gates or scales or toll booths or speed traps on the Highway of Enlightenment. That’s one of the ways you know you are there.
And since we all do have our inner GyPSy, we can find our own way to the Highway of Enlightenment. All we have to do is pay attention. And be sure not to put up our own toll booths.
So when you come to a place where you need to make a decision, don’t let the signs society puts up make your decision for you. Check your own inner GyPSy and follow its guidance. That detour sign you see may very well be keeping you away from some very interesting country. The speed limit may be there just to keep you from flying.
Drive on!
