I Say Hello

There were about 30 people sitting around the parameters of the DMV office waiting their turn at the counter. No one was very happy about it.

Then a little girl came in with her Dad. Holding on to his hand she began swaying from side to side singing the phrase from The Beatles’ song, “You say goodbye, I say hello.”

Intentionally or not, as she sang she changed the mood of the room. It was almost as if she was saying, “You all think you are waiting, I say be happy now.”

By being what she sang, she demonstrated the way to make a change, not by doing, but by being the state we wish to experience. She shifted our perception from a wait, to an experience of happiness.

In our lives we have all experienced that mood that was in the DMV office. Take a number and wait. We sink into the feeling that maybe in time things will turn around, but in the mean time, wait and put up with what isn’t right.

If we agree with this perception point of view, and allow ourselves to descend into that perception state of mind then yes we will wait, and not in happiness.

We don’t have to agree with this point of view. In fact we must not agree. We can be just like that little girl. We can hold onto the hand of the Principle of Truth and start singing, “You say goodbye, I say hello.”

If life is changing as it must, then say “hello” to what is here now. If doors appear to be closing ponder the meaning of this promise: “I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.” Rev: 3 -8I

With what strength we have we can stay with Truth and not listen to and follow the lie of lack that is being told. The voice that is speaking these lies may appear to be coming from within or coming from without. But it is still the voice of a liar. It is not your voice; it is not the voice of Divine Love.

No worldview can shut the door that is always open. It may be hard to see it in the mist perception of duality and not enough, but it is always open and being held open for us to walk through anytime we are ready.

The way to clear our perception is easy; we stay with, and stand by, and hold hands with, what is the Principle of Love.

Make it simple.

Follow a line of reasoning that goes something like this: Since Good in omnipresent, then there is nothing going on that is not Good or God. Since Joy is omniscient there is nothing going on that is not Joy. Since Love is omnipotent, there is nothing but Love going on. Since Principle is omniaction there is nothing going on but what is right.

This is not saying that what is obviously bad is good. Instead we become aware that it is only a misunderstanding of the Principle of Good, Love, which makes it appear as if bad could be going on.

Shifting to a spiritual perception removes the blindfolds, takes off the dark glasses, and opens our eyes to see what is really going on, “the Omni’s” of God.

Caught up in the waiting room mood we get trapped into the thought pattern of what we have to personally do to make it better. We have to work harder to figure out how to get another job, make more money, be happier, find love, stop abuse, etc.

This only makes it worse because we are still in the waiting room. Instead, stepping out of it through the open door that is always open to Truth, what appears as the outside world shifts without an effort on our part other than keeping our perception in line with the Truth of God.

Have you ever boiled eggs in a pan? You place the eggs in the pot and pack them all in. There doesn’t appear to be room for anything else. However, when you add water the eggs all float around and “miraculously” there is room for more.

This is exactly what happens with perception shifting. Add the water of spiritual perception to the pot of things that must happen, and they shift around and “miraculously” there is room for what is needed.

Yes there will be action for us to take, but not to make something happen; instead beginning with the correct premise and perception of the Infinite One called Love, we experience something entirely different.

Practicing spiritual perception instead of hard work within the waiting room, we follow the guidance of the still small voice within. We find it easy to be happy now to say goodbye to what isn’t true and hello to what is, and always has been, and always will be, True.
