Guest guest Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Namaste to Each and All. . . Elektra Fire. . .coincidence just this evening i read this quote by C.S. Lewis and then when i read your post about a hour later. . .i had to smile at the oneness of it all. . . " " Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of - throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself. " C. S. Lewis Mere Christianity. . . Elektra, after reading C.S.'s view you might want to consider " the guest " has no plans of leaving once the place get cleared out, made a new. and decorated with love and devotion. LOL! For the longest time i thought lol! meant lots of love, so nowadays when i type LOL! it means Lots of Love to you Mark, Elektra and All. i have been following the postings but have spent most of the hours of each day in silence and peace, and devotional music and sweet gentle bliss when surface. . .please know i hold each of you in the heart. . ..and am blessed to be part of this wonderful life of K Ma with each and all. . . we are truly blessed. . . love and light ordinary sparrow , Elektra Fire <elektra.fire wrote: > > The way I look at surrender is the following: My body and life is like an apartment, I have been living in the apartment up until now, Shakti is coming to move in , but , before she can move in she wants to redecorate, she wants to do the decorating herself with her own hands and choose the colours and fabrics etc. She wants me to give over the controls and lease of my " apartment " to her fully and not interfere in ANYWAY as lots of work is to be done and she knows best how to do it. > If I follow her flow I will experience bliss, joy and happiness, if I block or fight her flow I will experience fear, pain and suffering. > > Can you imagine the amount of housework needing to be done before God can pop by for a visit?
