The Offering Of Stuckness

When stuckness in some area of life prevails it is the highest
offering of all. It is what keeps inviting you to step fully outside
the mind.

Body ailments, financial distress, unrealized desires,
addictions.....whatever it may be, be assured it is serving you
greatly. Left to our own devices in the mind, all things going
relatively well, what enticement is there to leave it. Continuing to
identify with it must become extremely disagreeable or no serious
stepping back, stepping out of it will materialize.

Stuckness is usually where you've circled for years, mapping out a
small parcel of mind where, despite the suffering, you get to hold on
to the familiarity of something you must resolve, a great problem,
something that unconsciously binds you and holds you in separation.

It is where the Beloved is kissing you most fervently with a "Come
dear heart, come Home to Me." Its supreme gift to you is the beginning
of the end of you.

It may not feel in your best interest but you must leave the
exhausting merry-go-round of fixing, of seeking resolution, of
betterment. You are not abandoning anything except the unreal.

Let yourself be airlifted out of stuckness, out of mind. You are not
the mess, not the body, not the face you see in the mirror every
morning and are so convinced is you.

You are a fountain of clarity inside that is still and yet bubbles
with goodness and delight and joy. Let us come Home. And let us stay Home.

"It may not feel in your best interest but you must leave the
