See You in the Gumbo

Change is inevitable. Growth, being an eternal mandate of Life’s governing principle, is likewise inevitable. Growth and change, then, are synonymous terms. When one is “ready” for another new growth experience, our world presents us with new “pictures” which, too often, we tend to misinterpret as another disruptive problem we must overcome. In truth it is a new opportunity for growth seen in reverse.
I guess my time had come for a growth change. For seemingly no reason at all, I was presented with what appeared as a conflicting set of circumstances I needed to understand. I pictured its apparent confusion as a New Orleans Gumbo where a lot of seemingly unrelated components would be blended together and yield a harmonious conclusion.
For some reason, the initial impact took me back a number of years when I first experienced an awakening event. I don’t like to talk about the war, but this experience occurred in Italy during WWII. My Company was pinned down and I found myself immersed in a surreal world of noise, flashing explosions, absolute fear, chaos and all the turmoil that combat offers.
Out of my absolute fear, something happened. From deep within me came a sense that the entire world existed only in a 10 foot radius around me. Everything outside this “cocoon” was simply a nightmare that could not touch me. I somehow felt “safe.” (And because I’m here now, I guess it was right!)
The confusion of my current unrelated elements was as completely separate from me as it was in my combat experience. This experience contributed to the validation of my discovery, more than 50 years ago, of the scientific approach to problem resolution wherein I recognized that our entire experience exists only as a phenomenon within our own individual consciousness. Nothing really exists outside of this awareness.
I learned to release the entire situation and focused on the irrevocable laws of infinity’s maintaining its own perfection and balance and my relation to it. It came to my mind to take certain steps, call certain people, collect certain documents and maintain an attitude of complete confidence and trust as an objective observer knowing that the outcome would be in everyone’s best interest.
Through the cooperation, understanding and adherence to principles, laws and a mutual love and respect for others, everyone involved shared in a mutually beneficial growth experience.
It may be difficult to do at first, but as you continue to train and discipline your mind to accept your inevitable mandate to grow, the outcome is likewise inevitable. This is assured by an ever-expanding sense of your inseparable oneness with the “creative and controlling forces of the universe.” This fact confirms and reveals to your conscious awareness that you are the prime beneficiary of infinity’s unchallenged fulfillment. It is the LAW!
