What would you have me know ?

by David A. Cronin

These six simple words have become, for me, a most important prayer. I ask them of Spirit often and the answers have that have come have formed the foundations of my beliefs.

These simple words tend to focus the heart and mind on that part of ourselves that never left Spirit. While we may feel, at any one moment, that we are not connected to the Divine, there is always a part of ourselves that is the still, loving witness. This Divinity within is the same as the Divinity throughout all that is.

It is this part that knows the answer to any question we may have. That knows the reasons behind every lesson we have chosen to learn. That knows only the truth of our existence. regardless of how we perceive ourselves.

Asking this question can bring many surprises. It opens us to areas and experiences that we may not have had otherwise. It is like a small child asking her mother for a cookie. While the child has knowledge of the cookie, the mother has knowledge of the whole pantry. She may have something even better in mind.

I find not asking for something specific, but rather asking what Spirit would have me know about whatever is going on in my life, opens my heart and mind to the Infinite within. It expands our experience beyond our current boundaries.

We tend to perceive life based on our own self-concept. By surrendering our self-perceptions to our own Divinity, those self-imposed boundaries begin to lessen their hold on us. We truly become our own teacher.

How does the answer come? It can come in any form as we've all experienced. We may get a mental picture of something. It may come to us as a flash of intuition. It may happen that we overhear a part of a conversation that clarifies some issue to our life. Or we are lead to a particular book that has a deep meaning for us. The form, of course doesn't matter. The trick is to be open to whatever answer comes without projecting what we really want the answer to be.
