As the sun is to ice and water, so is the sun of your clear and focused intention to any obstacles.

 

 

Anything presenting now as an obstacle is only a projection of mind.  It is something you have decided to notice.  In the physical world, you see only those objects that stop light. If objects do not stop light, you do not see them.

 

 

Similarly with obstacles. You see them because they stop light, because you have decided to give them the light of your attention.

 

 

Why focus on an obstacle if you do not want it to be there? Do you want what appear to be obstacles? Maybe you do, since you see them. But if you knew you had chosen them yourself, wouldn’t you choose again?

 

Obstacles are illusions 

Ben Sutter

 

 

 

 

It is just as easy to focus on what you want. It is all your choice where to focus attention.

 

 

 

The Romans had their Lares and Penates, gods and guardians of the household, to whom they prayed and made offerings every morning.

You are in charge of deciding your own household gods. Choose your own Lares and Penates. Build your mosaic. Visit the altar in the field of your heart. Do it now. This is your sun. Visit it often.

 

 

 

 

Before the power of your own sun, continually fed, continually visited, continually loved and celebrated by you, no obstacle can stand. Can you see how foolish it would be for the sun to faint and grow weary with self doubt? Does the sun see an ice crystal as any kind of obstacle?

No indeed; the sun has nothing to do but be effulgent.

And so let it be with any of your perceived obstacles. Let them melt and evaporate before the sun of your firm feeling-states.

 

Be effulgent in joy
