Yield

It is okay to yield; many times yielding is the best thing I can do when I am dealing with others, that is of course as long as yielding does not compromise who I am, and what I have been directed to do by The DIVINE within me. Most of the time, yielding means only allowing someone to take the personal initiative, to do something a little differently than I would have done; yet still in conclusion, accomplish the exact same things or end results. It is like allowing someone to direct me on how to get to a destination that I am use to going to another way. My way might be quicker, and their way might be more scenic, however both ways get us to where we want to go. Nevertheless, if yielding to another means, compromising that which I know I should and must be doing, and it will lead me completely off of my Sacred Path, I must not and cannot yield.

Sometimes yielding to another means, allowing them to take the initiative to stand up and take the lead. Many times it also means standing back and allowing others to teach me different ways of doing things. There is always room for expansion in the way I see, hear, believe, and do things; school is still in session and all of us are both the student and the teacher. As I yield, I am learning as well as teaching. This experience we call life, is all about a perfect balance between giving and receiving. Many times, when I yield I am reminded of a way that I use to do things, a way that I some how allowed to slipped to and remain in the back chambers of my mind. So, yielding to others sometimes awakens that which has been lying dormant within me, which I can and should access and benefit from.

As I reviewed past experiences in my life, I came to recognize that in the past, I sometimes had a problem with yielding to others, when I knew the way to do something myself. I was actually allowing my ego to get in the way of possibly learning something new, or learning a better way of doing that which I already knew how to do. Since the beginning of time, ego has been responsible for many having to experience much unnecessary difficulty. Ego always wants to point out that I know this, and I know that, so that others will praise them as being more intelligent then most. You see, humanity has fallen for the trick of competition, and completely done away with the Divine Reality of Oneness. Without oneness we can do very little, because the Unity of Oneness is what holds everything together in this physical realm. Without the Unity of Oneness, there would be nothing to hold Earth Mother together for us to exist on her as we do today. Life is not meant to be about competition, it is about cooperation, working together as the single finely tuned Sacred Creation that we eternally are.

I had to reach the place of seeing the act of yielding in its true light, which is the act of stepping aside to allow others to also feel the glory of accomplishing something. Not being able to yield was a sign of unhealthy selfishness on my part. There is enough glory for us all to wade in continually. The best glory known to humanity, is the glory shared when others succeed. There is nothing like it in this world. If I always did things my way, and never allowed anyone else to do things their way, I would be extremely limited in learning new things. Others do thing different from me because of the different experiences they have had in life. So, in essence, some things I cannot learn without my sisters and brothers input. That is due to the fact, that I do not have the referencing input that they possess by way of the combination of personal life experiences acquired, as they journeyed along their path through this physical plane.

It is of the utmost necessity that I completely yield to the Whole of Creation, in its varied forms of manifestation. I must yield in such a way that I demonstrate that the Whole of Creation is consciously just as important as I am. I must completely shake off the false belief that humanity is more important, and superior to other forms of life. I must learn to yield to that which is more important for the well being of Earth Mother, verses what is more important and convenient for me. Likewise, I must learn to yield to the entire animal and other living creature kingdoms I share this Wonder-Full Paradise with. Yielding in such a way, means building and living in a way that takes into consideration how what is being done will affect Earth Mother, and the inhabitants that already dwell where I am thinking about living. Most of the turmoil we see happening around the world today, is happening because we gave little to no thought at all to whether or not what we were planning to construct, was in harmony with Earth Mother and the animal and insect kingdoms. If we deal with Earth Mother in an unbalanced way, eventually our choices will return to us demanding a price we feel is to great to pay; such as the complete lost of all our possessions, and/or the life of ourselves or a loved ones. Being out of harmony carries a substantial price, a price that we will eventually have to pay whether we like it or not. At such times as those, I find out how insignificant my little wants and desires truly are.

As I allow myself to look at life through the eyes of my continually awakening and evolving Spiritual Consciousness, I am seeing things much clearer; I am starting to see things as they truly are. However, seeing everything through my Spiritual Consciousness, calls for much more yielding. As I think about it, to yield is to actually humble myself, and prefer others before myself. Many feel that to do so is to neglect ones own needs and desires, however that is not the case at all. Universal Law dictates that which we give, will return to us multiplied many times over. That is none other than the Universal Law of Reciprocity, which guaranties mutual returns. In other words, I reap that which I sow. If I plant a peach seed, I will get a harvest of many peaches, and that harvest will have hundreds if not thousands of seeds in all of the peaches produced by that single peach seed that was planted.

As I now see, and properly comprehend, yielding at the proper time, means planting a seed that will produce a huge blessing when the time is right. Yielding is a selfless action that will produce many blessings for others and ourselves alike. To live life fully as we are supposed to, means, that we must yield in a balanced way. I am so grateful for the following revelation. To yield is not to be weak; to yield is to receive one of the most powerful strengths known to humanity, standing tall, strong, and unshakable in the Oneness of Divine Unity. Because of the Oneness of Divine Unity, I always yield at the appropriate times as I sojourn through this dense physical plane with Great Joy and Satisfying Pleasure.
