What do you worship?
The first productive question he asked was, "What do you worship?"
I pondered this in solitude as the sun rose over the Atlantic. I let my gaze go limp waiting for God to tell me what I worshipped.
He said I used to worship the future. But when the future came, it was never exactly how I envisioned it. So I stopped doing that and waited for another answer.
Today I worship the ability to write God's story however he gives it to me. I take whatever I get with gratitude. Even headaches and backaches and heartburn. All the physical blocks to a perfect experience are calling for my love. I send my attention to the spot that needs it and say: God forgive me for thinking that the story was mine. It's yours. Help me tell the truth.
He always tells me the truth, but how much I hear is up to me. I can open up for more anytime.
As soon as I feel a block in the energy, i.e. anything negative in my experience, like someone who just disagreed with me... I remember my projection and pause for a new perception.
Eventually I quietly realized: If the entire illusion is coming from the one dream, the one son, the one story that God tells me about, then I am the only one who can be sending negative energy into this scene. I just need to remember this and ask to see it differently.
