“Life has an astonishing way of taking care of you when you no longer mind what happens.” J. Krishnamurti
I love the language of this quote. The author didn’t say, when you no longer care what happens. Instead it is written, when you no longer “mind” what happens. I love that differentiation. It’s not asking you to shut down your feelings or deny them.
Now the mind will want to make sense of it all, try to figure it all out, maybe come up with a plan, a solution at best. At worst, to go up in the mind, is to draw conclusions about what it all means, make judgments and categorize. Ultimately then, to let mind lead the way, is to cement yourself deeper in problems that need your solutions.
Funny … would you pilot a plane without knowledge of its workings? It’s very similar when we think it’s our job to take care of things with our limited resources. There’s something working on our behalf every moment of every day with unlimited resources.
What about letting the heart take the lead? What about showing up empty with openness, willingness and trust? Knowing and trusting deeply that everything always works itself out, and a corresponding willingness to be moved upon by something so grand and mysterious.
So the next time something out there in the world leads us to forget momentarily, it’s easy to remember and rely upon two simple words: thank you. Thank you Life, Source, God, Universe, Spirit. I know you are, at this very moment, taking care of me in ways I couldn’t possibly ever orchestrate on my own. I defer to you and your infinite wisdom and guidance. I am an open, empty vessel willing to be filled. Thank you.

this morning so long long ago lol i read your post and was reminded of the morning walks i used to take at dawn b4 i left for my ramtha adventure, b4 i left my land, cabin, mate,business…. ive just finished editing and putting up a series of videos on youtube about our “journey” to abarahm so ive had days of going thru pics, and memories… (hear the song) when i read this this morning i remembered me and this song i made up like a chant for my walks about me being a clear channel a clear tube to be filled with light… anyway
tonight after a full day of dreams and answers and well ALOT of coming together of the “forces” i live emmersed in i read your post again and say strongly and deeply within myself i am open yet theer is no emptiness here… and i feel
wonderFUL to know this
i know how it feels to be open
i know how it feels to be filled with eagerness
i know how it feels to be the channel for source that i came here to be

Yes, you’re so right about that, AnnMarie. It’s how we live in a world where there really are no strangers. Speaking of, the title was taken from Elton John’s early hit: Take Me To The Pilot.
Take me to the pilot
Lead me through the chamber
Take me to the pilot
I am but a stranger
Take me to the pilot for control
Take me to the pilot of your soul
