Clean Up Your Own Mess

Hurricanes, tornadoes, torrential rains, snow and ice storms, and tragedies both personal and collective remind us that our memories of some golden age, past or future, and the status quo are but illusions. Life is messy and it is meant to be. All along the Texas gulf coast and even in Houston, where Beryl was still a category one hurricane when she passed through yesterday, we are waiting on electric power to be restored and cleaning up the mess she made.

Life is all about getting reconnected to power and cleaning up messes. I believe that the ultimate power in our lives is our higher self. Some call that God, yet since my favorite Bible verse is “God is all in all”, I prefer to use the term the Universe for my higher power. Some scientists believe that at the center of the Universe is a big black hole. I prefer to think that at the center of the Universe is perfect power, light, and love ever expanding outward.

Hurricanes like Beryl, the many other storms and upheavals in our lives are often referred to as “acts of God” mostly for insurance purposes. These things do cause messes, still most of the messes in our lives are caused my our own little selves listening to and acting not on the counsel of of our higher true self, but on that of ego, the false god and pretender to the throne. Oh, what messes he/she has made in the name of personal profit and self aggrandizement.

Jesus once said to his disciples in so many words, Before you start telling other people about their messes, clean up your own mess. I think his actual words were, “Before you try to remove the speck from your brother’s eye, remove the log from your own eye.” Jesus was just trying to get us to recognize our own fault and what a mess we always make listening to the wrong voice or voices instead of that still small voice of our higher and truest self. It can be heard even in the middle of the loudest most violent storm if we just listen.

It always bids us to reconnect with our true power source and to clean up our own messes.
