Nothing moves that is not of God. Nothing is created or destroyed that is not of God. Nothing appears, happens, or deteriorates that is not of God.

Yet our perception of events is entirely different. The ego-mind would have us believe that we have stepped back and brought great consideration to the circumstances and events surrounding us in the moment and chosen a course of action, a path of plausible strategy.

We might even require praise for how we acted, how well we acted, how creatively and efficiently we acted. Alternatively, we may consider that we are culpable, should our actions appear awry, tardy, ineffective, and lacking in some way.

But nothing moves that is not of God.

Remove the thought that is the "I." Without this thought notice how your actions unfold, how you go about your daily tasks. In the arising of any action at all, there is a threefold process of ideal, effort, and resistance. You picture a desired and longed for event. You move toward this acknowledged goal and along with the movement and action itself comes the resistance, the opposing force, guiding you toward ennui, weakness, exhaustion, apathy. You increase your effort to counter the resistance and through the frisson between effort and resistance the desired event appears.

This may take place within the realm of delusion or Reality, within the illusion of the agency of self or the tacit surrender to the Divine action of eternity.
