There Are No Accidents

Published on February 11, 2007

Accidents don’t exist. I’m certain everyone who has ever had an accident would argue that point, but the reality is an accident is an event or series of events that you place that word on. You may even add adjectives to describe it, like tragic or horrible.

What is seen as an “accident” is in actuality, degrees of error. The word “accident” has the predisposition of putting your responsibility further away so you don’t have to feel like you were a part of the scenario. That’s the ego in action. If you distance yourself, then you don’t have to take the rap, so to speak for the occurrence. That happened to you, so you weren’t a real part of it. It’s an illusory game played by many. Most people can’t admit mistakes, let alone take responsibility, therefore the word “accident” seemingly whisks it out of your hands and into the hands of fate. Life has become a roulette wheel and you’re the ball.

What is actually happening here? As was mentioned before, accidents are errors to varying degrees. How deep the degree of error is how large the karmic lesson to be learned, or karmic inheritance to be unraveled. We all pay our karmic debts. If we do not pay for them in this immediate life, (spiritually or materially), we are accountable, nevertheless. The way in which we meet our debt is either up to us or becomes society’s responsibility. In either case it is paid, sooner or later. This is the Perfect Law of Divinity.

This brings forth the issue of debt. If you have a “debt” and it remains unpaid, what happens?

A debt is something owed, whether payment is in money, a helping hand, or your life. Debts come in many forms. The fastest way to eliminate debt is to take responsibility for owning as well as owing it in the first place. If you borrow 10 dollars from a friend and you neglect to pay it back, you may not find it as serious as if you borrowed 10,000 dollars and didn’t pay it back. In Reality it is the same. You didn’t own up to your responsibility. You may have been forgetful or righteously indignant. You may have thought that person can afford to lose it, or you had it coming. Ego is talking here, just ego. There is always karmic debt to the degree of the error, and how it wasn’t addressed. The amount is insignificant. As they say, “It’s the thought that counts.” If intention and willingness, combined with action is present, then the debt is paid. Karmic lesson is over, good for you. If not, karmic lesson continues, throw the dice, and take your chances.

This is how the Universe, in all Its splendor works…Perfectly. So, if you wonder what’s going on and you’re feeling like a victim in all of this, then you probably haven’t owned up to your end in all of it. What are you waiting for?

The Art of Surrender

Published on February 6, 2007

I had occasion to experience my website crashing, and not being able to get it back up and running for a period of time. The message on the site said in bold letters…fatal error. Although this was a literal fault of computer language codes and the host server, the message itself might as well have been a brightly lit billboard on a crowded highway. Of course, I took it literally and saw this as an opportunity to ask God for answers as to what that “fatal error” is. It did not take long to receive the answer.

Within that time frame I witnessed experiences of those close to me, some tragic and some just strange and unnerving for the participants. I saw error in all, some with ‘fatal’ consequences.

I used Applied Kinesiology to filter out Truth from falsehood, testing for the silent meaning in this. God must have known I would do this and write about it and so I complied. In actuality I almost couldn’t sleep, being prodded to actualize an answer to the question, what meaning does this hold? Knowing that everything is its own meaning didn’t deter me from digging deeper into the message I was supposed to impart, while my site was “down.”

This was about surrender; Surrendering that over which we have no power over and living with the consequences. Living within surrender, is yielding to forces beyond our control. Everyone likes to think that certain things are within their control, but the living Truth is nothing is within your control. Control is an illusion that we have power over everything (or even something). Usually having children takes care of that issue, but when it doesn’t the art of surrender is necessary for life to unfold without extreme suffering.

Surrender is a difficult issue for the ego to manage, because the literal meaning is defeat or giving up. The more our ego controls us, defeat is perceived as a horrible consequence, and the harder it is to relinquish the illusion of control. From a spiritual standpoint, karma, which is in operation infinitely, takes care of everything whether we “think” we have control or not. Karma equalizes everything so that we don’t need to think about outcomes. Outcomes are always perfect, no matter what adjective we place on it.

How do we surrender? When we think of surrender, the image of cowering behind a white flag, while in the midst of war comes to mind. This is a good image to hold in mind so our spirit remembers that our ego is continually at war with Reality. What we do is confuse the happenings of our life with things that we think we have control over. Yes, you say, but what about all those decisions I made that allowed this or that to happen__and what if I didn’t do “that,” “this may have happened.” Well, the Truth is that’s all Karma and possibilities. In reality, all those decisions and happenings were a compilation of conditions being appropriate, and not about you directly controlling anything. Whether or not you had the illusion of control (and I dislike bringing up the hypothetical), things would have turned out that way or another way. You are starring in and indirectly directing your play (life), but not running the entire show.

OK, now I may get all those who have taken those courses in running your own life and even the course I was trained in…living deliberately, who may say “what about managing your own life?” Managing ones life and control are two very different things. Managing ones life is about how you are being, not about what you are doing. It matters little what you are doing, since your beingness is why and how you are doing whatever you are doing, in the first place.

Surrendering (illusory) control is giving up force. Power is the preferred inner quality that gives us the strength to keep going straight through our lives, no matter what. So what we “give up” when we surrender is nothing but an idea that our fretting, worrying and obsessing will bring us the scenario we cling to tenaciously. The downside of this state always creates a negative outcome. You can make decisions all day long, but then at the end of the day, surrendering the rest to Divinity, is the godly course.
