Always guided for the highest good

While reading Bringers of the Dawn, I resonated to the statement "I am always guided for my highest growth, highest evolution, and highest consciousness".

I went to LA this weekend to meet a man I had never met, but had grown to appreciate. I asked Anu and Rajeev to give me a Deeksha (Oneness Blessing) on Friday night and held the intention that I be guided for my highest growth, evolution and consciousness.

On Saturday morning Rajeev dropped me off at the airport an hour before my flight. I initially went up to the ticketing and check-in and found that the line for bag check-in was incredibly long - at least 60 people. I noticed my anxiety. I then came down again and decided to do curb-side check-in. This line was shorter - 20 people. I stood for 10 mins in this line and the line shortened to 19 people! I observed my anxiety increase some.I heard the guy behind me get really anxious and his wife try to calm him down. I realized I was reflecting my anxiety. I became present and observed my breath, my environment and my feelings. I repeated that I am always guided. I now had about 35 mins left for departure and the line still had about 17 people. They were actually processing one person every 10 mins! At this point the Deeksha worked - my intention that I be always guided went from intellectual to experience. At this point I surrendered.

I felt a wave of detachment from outcome wash over me. I suddenly did not care if I go, don't go, go on the next flight, etc. After all, I know I am guided for my highest good, so whatever the outcome, that is for my highest good. So in this state, the next logical thought hit me. I said I can throw away my toiletries and can always buy them in LA. This way I can carry-on my bag. I took out my toilet case and examined it. I would have to throw away a lot. I surrendered to that too. The next moment I held my toilet case in hand, suitcase in another and walked up back upstairs to Ticketing and check-in. The line was still HUGE.

There was an official walking by. I told him I have my flight in 30 mins and I need to check-in my bag. I asked if I can go to the head of the line. He looked at me and pointed me to the check-in counter where there were only 5 people!! Apparently the LONG line was for people like me, who already had printed a boarding pass and only needed to check-in their bags. The short line was for people who did not have their boarding pass!! I walked up to the first guy in this short line and explained my situation and he let me go next. So I checked my bag in and interestingly the security line was really short too. I got to LA with no other issues.

The Game of Life and the World being a reflection dawned on me again from this experience. The curb-side line not moving, the Express bag check being so long was a reflection of my anxiety. Another line so short that no one had noticed, me being allowed to go first, a short security line showed up as possibilities as soon as my inner state changed.

The process:
a) Observe your inner state
b) Become present to the herenow
c) At this point you are feeling your inner state and also observing yourself
d) The perfection of the herenow then shows up and at the same time a detachment from a future outcome. (The moment you observe and become present, awareness follows - This is grace)
e) At this point you surrender, you give up all control. You know you are ALWAYS GUIDED FOR YOUR HIGHEST GOOD. At this point Your will aligns with the Divine(Higher Self) will.
f) The actions if any will come naturally in this state.

This set the stage for my entire weekend. I had the most wonderful time. It was incredibly easy to be present, to feel at peace within myself and simply experience the other person with no judgments or expectations. All I reflected was my inner state - one of acceptance, peace, presence, safety and joy. There were no "shoulds". There was not "trying". There was an inner knowing that what is - is perfect, since I am always guided for my highest good, highest evolution, and highest consciousness.

So Be It. Always with love,
Samanvitha.
