Recognising the LOA at Work

Namaste to all.

This is going to be one of those; "I should have known better, but didn't at the time" stories.

For years, you all have been witness to my incessant rants about my elderly mother who suffers with dementia.

While I realise that she cannot help anything she says and does, I have a mental illness MYSELF and I couldn't really take care of me, so how the hell was I supposed to take care of her?

I tried to explain this to my family, who simply said "join the club" before insisting that it was my duty as a daughter to share the burden of an elderly, sick parent (basically in recompense for all the soiled diapers she had to change in my infancy).

Now, being a Hindu (my family are not), as soon as the word "duty" gets mentioned, which is in essence the Dharma, I am bound to and by the execution of it according to the Vedas...So I was cornered and I was suffering through righteousness.

Many nights, I would go to bed praying (affirming) to the Universe that I wanted "out" but didn't want it to involve anybody dying or for me to break Dharma.

My mother's house is inaccessible by public transport and she cannot use it anyway..So I am totally reliant on my car to pick her up, drive her around and take her back home.

After spending the past week at her place, she is definitely now suffering from compulsive and obsessive delusions...while my brother is countersuing his neighbour over privacy issues...while my nephew plays obscene rap music on full volume until like 2am every morning...while the stench of burnt steak fills the house...I just collapsed into full-on prayer:

"Dear Lord Shiva...I just can't DO this anymore...but it is my Dharma as a dutiful daughter...I am suffering... HELP".

Today, driving my car home, I forgot to put on my driving glasses (that I am required by law to wear)...I got pulled over by the police just conducting "random checks" and if it had been any OTHER day than New Year's Day, I would have got to keep my license, but today is the BIGGEST "revenue day" for the Government and all penalties are doubled...The simple fact that I forgot to wear my glasses, resulted in a cancellation of my license, a huge fine...and I cannot reapply for another license for 12 months, and even IF I am successful after 12 months, I will be on a Provisional License for two years...and if I get booked ONCE in those two years, I will be disqualified for life..

To be honest, I don't think I could be bothered doing that just to drive a car, and so, the days of owning and driving a vehicle is basically over for me..I also don't like doing anything that another can "hold me accountable for" anyway.

All day, I have been massively upset to the point of suicide, because my car is like a "bodily extension"...As it is for most, and I felt as if I had just lost a leg..I was very angry at God..spent all day cursing him..

Until I got the message, that in my prayers, I said that I didn't want anybody to die, so what ELSE was He supposed to do? He could have ignored that clause, but chose NOT to, due to the love He has for me.

Immediately, my mind cleared, my mood lifted and while not exactly "happy", at least I am not depressed or angry anymore, because I have been shown the "bigger picture" and for that, I am eternally grateful.

What a conclusion after all that happened ! What a DAY you had!!

Now maintain that clarity.
Somehow...all this was perfect...it may be an unfolding as you see the
visible perfection happen...my goodness....what a day you had.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru

Trying meditation before work. Maybe go for a job or workout in the morning. This may help boost your energy for the Law of Attraction in the mind.
