That is a good question cosmic squirrel. Your questions whether intentional or unintentional have a way of making us look candidly at ourselves. Sometimes i wonder myself: Am i letting the divine do its will or am i trying to steer the course on my own and my ego and desires have so much control that i am not able to see clearly what i am facing? Most of humanity daydreams all the time; not just at nite. i think the pendulum just does not affect us as it did at one time. We learn to be actively calm and calmly active.

hey Steve !

Sometimes is there not a fine line between " letting the divine do its will " and "trying to steer the course on my own " ? we/ you cannot just sit there and say " OK God, its up to you ! " and do nothing . we/ you must make a contribution, do your part and work together with God. I do not think
ego is entering the equation, if we/ you decide to make decisions to help us travel along the path of divine will.
we learn to be actively calm and calmly active
like walking on a tree branch, must find the balance or down we fall !!!

I agree sometimes we just have to act. We can pray and ask for divine guidance. At a certain point though we must take some action and if we find our actions are not in accordance with divine will then we must alter our actions. By the the very nature of our interest in being in divine order we get help. We/i just need to recognize it!
Thanks for the thoughts Cosmic Squirrel.
