Do Away with the Things of the World - Take It All to the Trash
Word for May 31st, 2021
Do away with the things of the world. Pack 'em up and get rid of them. Just like you pack up things in your home that you come to realize, 'I don't need that. I don't like that.' And you pack those things up and you put them out in the trash. Now that takes awareness. That takes you even wanting to look and see, what do you need to get rid of? That was the first step you did. So look at your world, your life, and pack 'stuff' up. So the packing it up requires another step. Not just seeing, 'Oh, I need to get rid of that. I need to get that out of my life.' It requires you to do something about it. 'Pack it up' is a choice to take action on what you already know that you don't want because I don't want you to have that. So you pack it up and then you pick it up and carry it out to the trash. Another action. Another commitment to getting rid of those things of the world that I have said to let go of and you then you have believed that and chosen to let go of. So take the things to the trash. Now here's something I see often happen. People decide to let go of something. They work at letting go of something. It's out, so to speak, in the trash. But then they go get it again. They take it out of the trash. They bring it back to themselves. And then once again they are caught in the things of the world. So, I want you, when you get it out to the trash, to leave it there...to leave it in the trash!
