Eeyore in us. On
their way to see Eeyore, Pooh and Piglet stop at a warm place in the
wood. “We'll call this Pooh Corner.” And using sticks piled up
nearby, they build Eeyore a house, as they think he has none. At
about the same time Eeyore knocks on Christopher Robin's door. Even
though he lived in the coldest, gloomiest part of the wood, he wanted
to go home—but his house was gone! (Christopher Robin represents
the Christ Spirit; the Hundred Acre Wood is His and He takes care of
everything in it.)
They meet Pooh and Piglet who want to show them
the house they built for Eeyore. However, it soon becomes apparent
to them that they had used the pile of sticks Eeyore had up until
then called home. But look! See how nice this new home is! And
Eeyore agrees that it is as warm and nice as they say. Is Eeyore in
any of us? Do we build in an uncomfortable place just because we're
convinced it “had to be that way”? It might be the health thing,
the relationship thing, or that chewing-on-yourself-inside thing.
From fear to power.The
doctor told Mandy Hastings that even if her two year old son lives,
he'll be severely handicapped. “No,” she said, “he will be
fine.” A gravestone had fallen over onto her boy's head, and while
she and her husband were waiting for lifeflight, she prayed. She
says a peace swept over her and she heard, “Everything's going to
be fine. Matthew is in My hands.” Yes, she most likely began
praying from fear, but she moved her attention off of the data
pouring in (that her brain was using to figure out how bad things
were).
She moved from fear to that place of love and connection with
divine presence and power. Look
for that level that brings forth health and vitality. You don't need
to ask anymore for anything. It is there within you. You are that
power, that force.
The boy was home in two weeks, and is a happy, healthy teen today.
You are divine energy. Take
a glance at what you're building. If it's “not quite enough” or
“just enough to get by” or “that's just the way I am”—it is
the Eeyore within you. Activate the greater potential within you
through the experience of the love, the pure light of energy of the
divine which you are. Build your house, and live, at “Pooh
Corner”!
