When I retired from my job in the financial industry I wrote the book, “The Way of the Meister.” In it, I attempted to write up the beautiful Awakening I experienced, and wanted to show others that spiritual living in a competitive workplace is possible. A friend disliked the title. “The moment you call yourself master,” he said, “you lost it.” I replied that the expression Meister was more of acknowledgement of a job well done. We were both right.
I spent some seven years then as an experiment. What if you let your guard down, trust people and let the higher energies do the job. Magic happened in that time, and I credit “A Course in Miracles” for this accomplishment. But then, when I embarked on my own calling as a spiritual writer, I felt inner resistance and wasn’t sure what that was all about. That’s the warning of my friend, I carried a story with me and needed to awake to this fact.
Magic happens every day, as long as we get our self out of the Way. The resistance I felt was the realization that I carried the story of the light worker with me. A Course in Miracles is a first initiation, but even the good story of the light-worker is just a story in the end. Stop being a doer and be. Give everyone the space they deserve without imposing any assumptions, expectations and fears, and the connection between you will work magic.
Life creates the Meister— “you” just shows up for the ride!
