This quote fascinated me when I first read it…
You know what confusion means?
It means you have seen the answer
and you don’t like it!
~ Alan Cohen
Confusion happens when one is pulled between two competing options. Which way do I go? One asks with trepidation.
When we listen to the voice of wisdom we know which way to go and the path is clear. But if we’re listening to God and are also influenced by self-will, self-righteousness, or selfishness, we might get confused because we know what we’re supposed to be doing, but resist doing it. The cure is to trust God more and personal wants less.
Confusion is the last stop on the road to clarity.
The part of your mind that knows it all
is butting up against a bigger idea.
~ Alan Cohen
Aw, yes, the human ego and its limited puny view versus the divine Mind and its expansive infinite perspective. Which are you letting win out today?
Here’s another message I enjoyed thinking about…
My mom really loved reading Alan Cohen and found a lot of love and inspiration in his writing. What book or work are these quotes from?

Hi AJ,
I don’t know what book the quotes came from. Sorry about that. They were forwarded to me by a reader!
I love Alan Cohen. I receive a ‘daily wisdom’ email, and a monthly newsletter. He’s to be recommended.
