Question:<\/strong> How can I make a change in my life and move on without worrying?<\/p>\n

Answer: <\/strong>Often when we have the urge to move on, there\u2019s a reason for it. It can be that it\u2019s time to move on. That\u2019s what\u2019s up and the more you can cooperate with that, the better off you are. The more you resist it, the more it becomes something that kind of forces you out. Why? Because it\u2019s time for you to move on.<\/p>\n

Often people want to know what\u2019s going to happen when they make the choice to move on. They wonder what will be their next step. They worry what will happen next.<\/p>\n

Whatever\u2019s going to happen when you make a choice and go onto your next step, that\u2019s what\u2019s going to happen. Whatever it is, it\u2019s good, and if you look in your heart, you\u2019ll find that goodness. When you find it, you\u2019ll relax. That\u2019s one of the signs that you\u2019re onto who you truly are. You\u2019re registering consciously who you are which is inherently good, relaxed, open and trusting. Who you truly are is at peace with yourself.<\/p>\n

Sometimes we like a little adventure in our life which may get us into trouble. Maybe we wanted to have a new experience or make a change that seemed interesting. However, one of the teachings of MSIA<\/a> is to stay out of trouble if you can help it. The kind of trouble I\u2019m defining here is something you don\u2019t need. Trouble is an unnecessary experience.<\/p>\n

If you have an experience and you realize you didn\u2019t need it, that will probably occur after you\u2019re already in the experience. You will have created an experience that troubles you. You then might ask yourself, \u201cWhy would I do such a thing? How could I be so stupid?\u201d<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t go there. That\u2019s an invitation to repeat the experience. Don\u2019t ask yourself, \u201cHow did I do this to myself?\u201d unless you want to have it shown to you again through the experience. Wasn\u2019t that troubling experience enough? Instead, have the wit to say, \u201cThat\u2019s enough, thanks!”<\/p>\n

If there\u2019s a mess, clean up that mess. By cleaning it up, you\u2019ll demonstrate that you understand and that you have learned. But if you try to avoid the responsibility of what you\u2019ve created, that tends to order up another experience until you truly appreciate the experience. So be glad to clean up the mess. And be glad to clean up somebody else\u2019s mess too, if that\u2019s for your learning and growth.<\/p>\n

Often the way karma goes is you\u2019re cleaning up your own creation, even though it seems like the others around you did it. You may wonder why you have to clean up their mess too. Don\u2019t get into, \u201cWell, I didn\u2019t do that. I shouldn\u2019t have to clean up their mess.” The reality is if you\u2019re in it, it\u2019s your mess. So clean it up. If you walk into a mess and your conclusion is, \u201cI didn\u2019t do this,” then help make it better. Wherever you are, make that place better than you found it. After all, who says your memory is accurate? Maybe you don\u2019t remember. You actually did create the mess, and it\u2019s time to clean it up.<\/p>\n

If you feel a sense of unfairness, that\u2019s just a test because all is fair in love. All is fair in God. Don\u2019t worry about the war part. Just worry about the love. That\u2019s a good thing to worry about, if you\u2019re going to worry. Why? It gives you something to focus on: Love. So if you\u2019re going to worry, worry towards the love.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s an order in God\u2019s kingdom. It\u2019s all taken care of. When you know that, then worry is something you wouldn\u2019t do. You just wouldn\u2019t engage in it. So if you\u2019re worrying, then you have parted company with God\u2019s reality. You\u2019re somewhere in your own camp. It\u2019s not to say that there aren\u2019t others there with you. But it\u2019s an alien camp because you don\u2019t really belong there. You don\u2019t belong in worry. It\u2019s not your natural way. It\u2019s a habitual way, but it\u2019s not your natural way.<\/p>\n

Once you realize that things are in God\u2019s order, there\u2019s no cause for resistance. You relax which is a natural outcome of seeing that things are the way they should be. There\u2019s nothing to worry about because everything is in God\u2019s order. That order is such that it\u2019s taken care of. You\u2019re taken care of. I\u2019m taken care of. We\u2019re all taken care of.<\/p>\n

Worry is a consciousness of ignorance. It\u2019s a consciousness that doesn\u2019t know what\u2019s going on. It\u2019s working in darkness and illusion. If we look at something in a limited way, we may perceive there\u2019s something wrong. However, that\u2019s an incomplete view. If you saw the complete view, you\u2019d know there\u2019s nothing wrong. When you come to the consciousness that knows what\u2019s going on, that all is well and in perfect order, worry goes away.<\/p>\n

The way to move on worry free, which is part and parcel in MSIA<\/a>, is through your acceptance, trust and faith. You can get right to it. It\u2019s the consciousness of knowing without consciously knowing. So disengage from what you see or perceive consciously. Move away from your worry, and go to what you know intuitively past what you see.<\/p>\n

Engage in the knowing that all is in God\u2019s perfect order. All is taken care of in God\u2019s light and love. Then you\u2019ll realize, \u201cHey, things are okay. I don\u2019t have to worry. I can move on, worry free.\u201d<\/p>\n
