On Serving Two Masters
It really is impossible

“No one can serve two masters” (Matthew 6:24) is something I have read, heard and intellectualized throughout my life.
Now I am realizing what this actually means – and only now I feel the truth of this statement in my heart.
Through life I have developed my faith, prayed and connected to Spirit but at the same time I have also been fully immersed and attached to the life I have been living. Believing that life was happening to me and that the set of circumstances presented to me were full of fear, trauma, drama 🎭 and suffering.
I was attached to and reliving experiences over and over again without understanding why – there was no question, there was just a reaction to what seemed to be happening to me. Meanwhile my desire to be in the Light, in Truth, in Love was also present. It had been a game of “tug of war”. Truth, Love and Light pulling one side of the rope while Pain, Fear and Suffering was pulling the other.
All along I have been the one holding on to both sides, holding on so tightly to this rope of life.
Only recently I saw how attached I was to keeping both of them in this game. At times one would gain more strength than the other but always wishing the side of Love would take over and win. It was through a deep exploration of my own feelings and looking at this game from another perspective that I realized that if I kept holding on so tightly to the beliefs of pain and suffering, they would keep me in this never ending seesaw.
Until I saw that if I just let go of the beliefs, the stories, the illusion of what was causing pain and fear to be there in the first place only then would Truth, Love, and Light have a chance of actually winning.
On a moment to moment basis I can choose whether to serve Love or to serve fear. To serve the positive or continue to hold on tightly to the negative. To be in Truth or be in pain. To be in Light or to be in darkness. But I can’t hold on to both at the same time and expect my life to flow with happiness, peace and joy.
To be fully in the Light means to let go of the illusion that I have created. It has served its purpose of healing and the time has come to let Love, Light and Truth win the game.
It sounds overwhelming and a bit daring to say I will eliminate all pain and suffering or pretend it’s not there. That’s not how it works – the key is in the Present moment. Which master will I choose to serve right now? Which master do I actually feel is true? Which master do I want in my life in the present moment?
By letting go of the darkness that doesn’t serve me in the Now, I create a lifetime of Loving moments in the Light.
Today, I choose to serve my one and only Master. Divine Love – take over my life now and forever!
