It Don’t Feel Right -9
It just doesn’t “feel right for me!” I could not understand how hundreds of people could sit in a church and listen to the speaker and never ask a question! Maybe it’s time to slow up or stop accepting everything as truth! Are most of us so busy praying for more that we can’t learn to see what we already have? Long ago I stopped asking and started thanking for what I already had. Before, I found myself just refusing to take the time to figure out how to use all of what I had! And, I am sure that there is much more that I haven’t found yet! Very sure!
I have learned there are no written instructions for me! Likewise I’ve learned there are no written instructions for you! That’s because we were all created differently. That is where organized religions have failed; they expect their Holy books to be written instructions for all! They keep telling everyone that their interpretations of the Scriptures and the 10 Commandments are for each of us. It cannot happen! There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all religion! Or even a one-size-fits-all Holy book!
I found that many are satisfied being told something is true because someone said that it was. My problem has always been asking “but was it true or right for me” And, if I wasn’t satisfied with the answer I was getting I kept looking and asking! I found that my life seemed as though I was always running into corners! If I could go no further that way I would stop and turn around and tell myself that direction was not right “for me!” I would not try to analyze why, I would just accept it as not right for me and then turn and try another direction.
In my heart I knew I was going to have a pile of keys that did not fit any lock! I knew that right key was someplace, and I knew that I would find it! And, I knew I had to be that “one” to find it!
Unlike most who say “maybe I can make it work” I would turn and start anew! My goal was trying to communicate with what I felt was always by my side that makes me know I’m never alone. I had to learn to get beyond all authorities. I had to stop asking questions that were beyond those authorities I was asking.
That “whatever it is” helped unlock the door for me that eventually started giving me those unquestionable statements and answers. My life is full of “I don’t know how or why those things keep happening!” I don’t ask why! I just say thank you! Today I find many things that I do feel right about that I cannot explain. Again I never ask why! Now, I realize I wasted half of my life asking the RIGHT questions, but I was asking them at the WRONG place!
