40 Days of Letting Go and Letting God
40 Days of Lent – Rebirth and Renewal
Rule 25
“Each reader comprehends the Holy Qur’an on a different level of tandem with the depth of his understanding. There are four levels of insight. The first level is the outer meaning, and it is the one that the majority of the people are content with. Next is the Batin — the inner level. Third, there is the innermost of the internal. And the fourth level is so deep it cannot be put into words and is, therefore, bound to remain indescribable. “*

Today, we are releasing COMPLAINING and embracing God’s Love for us.
Our Lent Booklet Invites us today to release and let go of COMPLAINING and embrace our true nature that is of Divine Love.
“Everyone complains about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.” That old adage, often attributed to Mark Twain, may elicit a smile because we know much of what we complain about is beyond our capacity to resolve. When we complain, it often leaves us feeling dispirited and drained. While we may have little control over the circumstance evoking our complaints, we can choose to change our attitude or alter our expectations by uncovering something positive in the midst of unpleasantness. If the old couch is tattered and needs replacing, we heed the words of Myrtle Fillmore: “Bless your old couch and see it as a symbol of comfort and support. Complaining only brings more dissatisfaction.” When we are frustrated by weeds sprouting forth in our garden, we can recognize that as we dig them out, we are enhancing the beauty of the landscaping we created. How uplifting! —Rev. Margo Ford
We can choose to embrace ourselves by saying: I focus my attention on the love, joy, and beauty in my life.
Rule No25 invites us today to realise that we move through different stages of understanding of our spiritual path and the inner journey. Each stage provides us with a level of understanding both of the spiritual text and our own unfolding. We strive to achieve Oneness, the deepest level of understanding where Truth resides.
Daily contemplative task: Today, I invite you to contemplate on the rule, the text above, and the quote below. In your meditation, I would like you to contemplate on where you maybe on your own spiritual path of spiritual understanding, self-study, and meditation.
Please share your journey and experiences with me. Thank you.
Today we affirm: Today, I release complaining.
Daily quotes:
“When you complain you make yourself a victim. Leave the situation, change the situation or accept it. All else is madness.” Eckhart Tolle
Note : *My writing is based on the book “40 Rules of Love” by by Elif Shafak and The Lent booklet by Unity.org
Personally, I think it is important to find the True meaning behind the word ‘LOVE’, understand it and experience it as a Spiritual Quality inherently within us.
I am going to walk this 40-day Lenten journey contemplating on the True meaning of Love, Divine Love, Spiritual Love for me by experimenting with the 40 rules and quotes from the Lent Booklet. Every day, between
the 5th of March to the 21 April 2025,
I will post a ‘rule’ from the book ’40 rules of Love’ and an a release idea from the book ’40 days of Rebirth and Renewal – Lent 2025′ by Unity.org. Then, we will contemplate on it and share about it in the UNITY EUROPE Facebook Group (CLICK HERE).
Let’s walk this journey together!
