I AM Where I’m Suppose To Be We all tend to look at our job, the relationship that we are in, the place that we presently occupy in the social hierarchy and we are forlorn because it seems that nothing has worked out as we had imagined. We tend to feel cheated, shortchanged, as if we had pulled the shortest of the straws in our quest to be king of the mountain. Perhaps, if we stopped and looked at things from a different perspective we might see that we are just where we are suppose to be to learn the lessons that we need learn. It is an immutable fact that where I AM has everything to do with the “person” that I perceive myself to be and very little with “wishes” to be otherwise. Wishes, in and of themselves, possess no power whatsoever to effect real change. Wishing to be some other place than where it is that I AM, however, can act to prevent me from discerning the nature of the lesson that my present circumstance contains for me. It is acceptance of where it is that I AM that allows me to look at things circumspectly after having stripped away all discontent due to disappointment. Discontentment, standing alone, is never a valid reason to give up the struggle and move on. An escaped convict is a prisoner still though it may appear he is free. Life is very clear in its teachings that when the lesson to be learned has been learned, permitting one to pass all tests concerning its learning, circumstances will so arrange themselves that doors will open allowing the student to freely move on. Impatience, moving on before it is time, will only bring the lesson disguised in another body, another form, another set of circumstance. It is that the lesson faithfully follows the “person” I perceive myself to be because of inherent error in the way reality is being perceived. I cannot escape “self,“ the fearful loveless egoic “person” I perceive myself to be. It would seem that there is no avoiding Life’s Lesson; there is only its mastery if I would be free of it. If I would move on then I must fill the space fully that I presently occupy, becoming more than it can comfortably contain. This means that I can leave no lesson unlearned, no skill not mastered, no commitment unfulfilled. Then, and only then, will I find that I AM no longer where it is that I AM, but have been miraculously transported to a new training ground for the learning of yet another Life Lesson...Selah...~PA~.
