“So,” Devorah repeated, “don’t rush it or judge yourself and
allow each thought to be an opportunity. This is a difficult process with much
uncertainty while we identify with the ego. ‘Allowing’ means letting the ego
and its way of thinking go, so spirit’s way can emerge. Doing this feels wrong,
risky and dangerous. But we have to go through it and know that the ego speaks
first and is always wrong. Besides,” Devorah said, grimacing, “uncertainty
won’t kill you. It’s uncomfortable, but a necessary part of the process of
shifting from ego to spirit.
“For example, I no longer know which thoughts I have and
which thoughts have me. The thoughts that have me are the ones I want to
question; the obvious self evident ones. The thoughts that shake me up, that
make me re-think are the thoughts I want to encourage.
“Consider the flower,” Devorah smiled. “It pours out its
fragrance to attract a bee to pollinate it and spread its seed. The flower has
no wings but the bee does. The bee has no nectar but the flower does. There
would be no flowers without bees and no bees without the nectar of flowers. Can
you truly say the nectar belongs to the flower, or that the wings belong to the
bee? Were they not made for each other? If it were not for the appearance of
separate bodies, wouldn’t you see them as one?”
