Busy, busy, busy … always running around, doing. Stop for a moment and ask why you spend so much effort in doing and so little on simply being. “Being is not productive,” you say, and we laugh. Being fuels the doing. You would tire far less if you would simply take the time to be for a while. In that state of repose you remember who you are … a spirit be-ing. At that point you can examine all the doing. Is it truly productive? What are you producing? More healing? More love? Then, by all means, do.
If you are merely spinning your wheels, staying busy so as to avoid acknowledging who you areally are, then you need “be” far more often. Be-ing will reveal the truth and take away the need to run.
Remember who we are…pure Love and Spirit at the core. Thank you, Sanaya, for the reminder this morning.
On to more "be-ing," more healing, and more Love today…
A commentary says, "In John 8:58 Jesus says, "before Abraham was, I Am." Many people make the logical assumption that this is a reference to Exodus 3:14 where God reveals his name to be "I Am" (when he speaks it), or "You Are" (or Yahweh when his people say it). While there appears to be some basic similarity in meaning, the wording of the Greek underlying these verses looks quite different and so it seems unlikely that John intended for us to see a connection between these two verses." Today on Palm Sunday April Fool's Day two millennia later — we can point out Jesus was doing a little beard pulling, since he is saying simultaneously, "I am Yahweh (as much as you all are, if not more)" and, furthermore, years ago, in front of Abraham appeared Yahweh who said, in effect, "my name is 'I AM," — which is rather like the joke played in the Odyssey when Odysseus nominal trickery gets the wounded Cyclops to say, "'No one' is hurting me!"
