In My Brother I Trust

I freely admit it, I do get flustered at times. Yet, rarely ever do I get flustered in the presence of others. Someone asks me a question that supposedly I don't know; yet, the very fact that someone asks this question at this moment implies that I probably do know, or that by saying that I do not, I learn something important in the process.

I am in a hurry and talk fast, yet the person I talk to appears to have all the time in the world. He slows me down because I instinctively know that he is here right now for a reason. If my brother has time, so do I. 

Or I am calm and think I have all the time in the world and my sister indicates that I should hurry and I do. Otherwise, why would she lead me astray?

The point is that you can synchronize with the Tao and everything will be fine. In your brothers and sisters you can trust even if once in the blue moon they try to lead you astray. This too has its reason. As the Course in Miracles states, 'If your brother acts insanely, just do what he says to show that it doesn't really matter.'
