I was commenting in regard to Lauren Gorgo’s latest column that we seem to be edging closer to the time when we need to start turning our attention to our unfinished business.
Lauren and the Arcturians address the question of how to “walk through this VERY narrow doorway, fully present and completely void of an agenda.”
Well, let’s think about this for a second. We cannot suddenly lose weight so that we can walk through a doorway. So what could Lauren be talking about when she uses the image of walking through a narrow doorway?
The narrow doorway refers to Ascension. Matthew and SaLuSa use an image of raising our vibrations. Lauren and the Arcturians use an image of dropping something that is preventing us negotiating a narrow passageway. Drop what?
This is only opinion. I could very well be wrong. But what there is to drop is what I like to call our “unfinished business.” To really convey a sense of what that is, I need to back up a bit.
It’s a common strategy, I think, in a Third Dimensional world to use certain patterns of behavior to get us through our days. In an “us against them” world, a zero-sum world in which, if somebody wins, somebody else is deemed to have lost, our lives become focused on survival.
Life is thought to be a game of musical chairs and we set our sights on having a chair when the music stops. We protect what is ours, divide the world into friends and foes, and make sure we have good fences and whatever else we need to defend ourselves, our family, and whatever else we deem necessary for our survival.
In such a world, a common way of behaving towards people is what Werner Erhard used to call “resist, resent, and revenge.” We used our minds to make ourselves right and others wrong, judge others and avoid being judged, dominate and avoid being dominated.
I imagine you can see that such a way of being produces residue. We try to hide from residue but we drag it along behind us as surely as Scrooge’s partner, Morley, dragged his chains. The universe is set up in such a way that we cannot easily get rid of this remainder from our interaction with others. This I call our “unfinished business.”
It is this residue which goes right to our spiritual hips and prevents us from getting through the narrow doorway or the eye of the needle.
What to do? Well, we have to stop adding more weight to our hips and we have to get rid of the weight that’s already there.
To stop adding more weight to our hips we have to stop resisting, resenting, and revenging. We have to stop making ourselves right and others wrong, etc., and we have to stop seeing our gain as another’s loss and vice versa.
So that entire way of being has to go and this will prevent more residue and more weight on our spiritual hips.
Now we are left with the existing residue or weight. How do we lose spiritual weight?
Because that is a topic in itself, I’m going to make it the subject of a further email, to be posted tomorrow.
The question is: How do we rid ourselves of our existing unfinished business that exists like so much spiritual weight on our hips and prevents us passing through the narrow doorway that Lauren refers to?
