"Then the Lord said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door, it desires to have you, but you must master it."
We receive all kinds of messages in our lives each and everyday. Everything, including cars can assist in this awakening. Genesis 4 6 is a car with a very strong message.
God is asking Cain why is he so angry and also states that if Cain does the "right" thing will he not be accepted. When we look at this verse some might think that God is telling Cain to think about doing the right thing in not killing his brother, which he does shortly after this little chit chat with God.
But what if we look at it from the heart, and from the love that we know that God is. He's really letting all of us know to follow our hearts, to do what is right is to allow ourselves to express our sorrow in order to find joy.
He's also letting us know that when we don't follow our heart but instead listen to the will of others then we miss our mark. It's clear in this passage that once we do this there seems to be a cycle that occurs and we're not able to get off that spinning wheel of missing the mark. It's like we keep messing up. It's like we can never find true happiness.
Funny how when we do what we think is right because it's what someone else or what we think someone else wants for us, or that we do what that person wants in order to feel loved and accepted by them, but really the opposite happens. It's like as soon as we said yes to someone else, we said no to ourselves.
God simply wants us to do what is right in our hearts. He knows that once we step out of love that we step on this spinning wheel of fear, pain and suffering. And oh boy, do we suffer. And while we're suffering we're going to make everyone else suffer right along with us.
What is right for you is only within you, only you know what you want. When we don't do what we know is right we are killing ourselves. That's what Cain did when he killed Abel, he killed himself.
Of course when we don't follow what is right for us anger builds and it's waiting to hurt someone. It's waiting and wanting to hurt someone because we want to punish ourselves so badly for the wrong we did. "It's not my fault I'm this way. I did everything they asked of me."
You see, it's about following your own heart, not the hearts of others trying to live their lives through you because they think they know what is best for you. NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU BUT YOU.
Who cares what other people think of you? When we care so much about what other people think of us then we can't hear our heart and do what is right.
Awareness opens the possibility for Alignment and the Willingness to Release. Free yourself of illusions within YOUR reality. What are you creating that makes you feel disempowered?
