Staying In Your Own Business
I can find only three kinds of business in the
universe: mine, yours and God's. (For me, God means
"reality". Reality is God, because it rules. Anything
that is out of my control, your control and everyone
elses's control, I call that God's business).
Much of our stress comes from, mentally living out of
our own business. When I think, "you need to get a
job, I want you to be happy, you should be on time,
you need to take better care of yourself," I am in
your business.
When I am worried about earthquakes, floods, war, or
when i will die, i am in God's business. If i am
mentally in your business or in Gods business, the
effect is separation. I noticed this early in 1986.
When i mentally went into my mom's business, for
example, with a thought llike, My mother should
understand me," I IMMEDIATELY experienced a feeling of
loneliness. And I realized that every time in my life
that i had felt hurt or lonely i had been in someone
else's business.
If you are living your life and i am mentally living
your life, who is there living mine? we are both over
there. Being mentally in your business keeps me from
being present in my own. i am separate from myself,
wondering why my life doesnt work.....
Even in the name of love, to think we know what is
best for another, is pure arrogance, and the result is
tension, anxiety and fear. do i know what is right for
me? that is my only business....
if you understand the three kinds of business enuf to
stay in your own business, it could FREE your life in
a way that you cant even imagine. the next time your
feeling stress or discomfort, ask yourself whose
business you are in mentally and you may burst out
laughing!! That question can bring you back to
yourself , and you may come to see that you've never
been present, that you've been mentally living in
other peoples business all your life.
And if you practice it for a while, you may come to
see that you dont have any business either and that
your life runs perfectly well on its own,....

This is something that is EASILY applied if someone is inclined to do so. I know it clicks for me and I will try it. The only area I might have some problem doing it is with my kids..... I see my job as a parent as a guide or steward really. So I have to make thier business my business at least enough to piont them in the right direction right?
