Led By Your Mind Or Spirit?

Hello, dear one!

Have you invested much effort to achieve a goal, but you don’t see the result?

You’ve done everything you could according to the teachings from the achievers, but it’s not happening the way they’ve accomplished.

Take a breath and know that there is a reason for every season.

There are at least one dozen of universal laws, and one of them is the law of least resistance. 

Simply put: You have the desired outcome, but you don’t attach to it. You’ll let it happen the way it’s supposed to happen. 

Your mind is always telling you to do things to achieve a certain outcome.

But if you’re willing to be led by Spirit, which is your higher self, you’ll be delighted with its easy outcome.

Here is my personal story of when I mindfully applied the law of resistance.

I rarely watched television for years, so I called my TV network service last year and requested a cancellation.

Was I in for a surprise?

The process of cancellation required many steps, including receiving a special kit, packing the cable boxes in certain ways, mailing them to a postal office with specific instructions, and paying a considerable amount of the last payment as a closure. 

My head was spinning as the representative was in her sesquipedalian mood.

As I calmly observed my frustration, I told her that I wanted to be put on a service pause, which was only a few dollars monthly.

It wasn’t my day. I chose the past of least resistance to the situation.

A year later, I received an inkling to call the company one day. I followed my intuition, without any expectations.

Guess what? The representative on the phone finished my cancellation in less than seven minutes. 

The company policies have changed; my old cable boxes are obsolete now.

Nothing needed to be done; it was that EASY!

There is a Bible story that perfectly illustrated the results between being led by your mind, which is the ego and being led by God, which is your higher self.

God promised Abram countless offspring like the stars in the heavens, but Abram and his wife Sarai couldn’t see beyond their well-advanced age. 

Childless after many decades together, Sarai decided to speed up things on her own, instead of letting God guide her.

Eagerly led by her big ego, Sarai persuaded her husband Abram to sleep with their Egyptian maid, Hagar. 

Abram too forgot God and went with Sarai’s plan. Hagar conceived a baby. 

As soon as Hagar became pregnant, she began showing disrespect to her master Sarai. The attitude was, “I am better than you now because I am carrying your husband’s baby. I succeeded easily after you failed miserably.” 

This of course angered Sarai. She complained to Abram and instructed him to do something to correct Hagar’s behavior. 

But Abram threw the ball of responsibility back at Sarai’s court by saying, “She’s your servant and in your hands. Deal with her whatever you think it’s the best (Genesis 16: 6)”

Thus, Sarai began mistreating Hagar until Hagar ran away to the desert. 

God’s angel found the wandering Hagar and brought her back to Abram’s house. 

God revealed to Hagar that she was going to have a son, Ishmael. He would grow up to be a troublemaker, against everyone, and hostile to all his brothers. 

A few years later, Sarai was miraculously pregnant and gave birth to Isaac, God’s promised son.

Wasn’t it a mess that Abram and Sarai made by following their minds?

If Abram and Sarai chose to be led by the Lord, they would have received Isaac and eliminated all the Ishmael drama.

The law of least resistance is constantly presented in the universe.

When you’re willing to follow this law, you flow in the direction of the universal rhythm. 

Now, for whatever you want, are you willing to be led by your mind or Spirit?
