Unraveled

Unraveled: 

those first few lessons from the workbook of A Course in Miracles are a great undoing, our entire thought system is literally unraveled and then exposed as nothing more than a self imposed dream. A night mare really, as it traps us within an illusory world of endless conflict, turmoil, and a sense of separation from each other. It's little wonder that so few ever make it past those early lessons. No one wants to see the world this way - although it's exactly how it is. 

and it's our creation.

yet it's also our salvation, as now we begin examine the thought-system that brought us here, letting go of ego's hold on how we view the world and seeing things in an entirely different fashion. Once undone, or even unraveled just a little, we're ready to see reality, a glimpse perhaps, but enough to truly know there has to be a better way.

and there is.

we could see peace instead of this.

as simple as it sounds, 

it's true.

we could reinvent the world...right now.

it's just a single thought away.

above all else -

we wish to see things different...and so we do.

Treasure

Treasure: 

it's about what we value, deeply so, and to the point that we might actually call them a treasure. There's a simple inquiry presented in A Course in Miracles, a question of "what it is for" and it's meant as a means for us to examine what we're willing to defend and if it truly brings us any lasting peace of mind. We have been willing to go to war against ourselves to defend that which is ultimately without value. We've defended a false sense of self even as it continuously brings us pain. 

what do we really wish to call a treasure? 

all that's asked of us here is to examine our beliefs, to note anything that's treasured so deeply that we would trade a peaceful heart for a battlefield of the mind. This is an inquiry into the valueless so that we finally arrive to that permanent state of true treasures, existing beyond our beliefs, and without need of ever being defended. 

here's the question:

what purpose does this serve? 

and the answer itself doesn't really matter - only the source itself that offers a reply.

ego will always defend a false treasure.

while love,

 our only true treasure...

silently abides.

Not So Complicated

Not so complicated: 

just one judgement, and it's not ours to make. Our lives become so much simpler with this reality, peaceful in a truly unshakable fashion. This is the only division offered by the Holy Spirit and if truly taken to heart, our world becomes a place of healing.

two categories of this judgement:

one of love.

and the other a call for love. 

no exception.

of course the ego quickly rushes in with its own categories, divided even further into special interest within each of them. That's the role of ego, it's what it does best, organizing thoughts into needs and demands along with complicated plans for their fulfillment. 

but it doesn't make them true.

so do we rely on the complications of the ego, those many sub-categories that only lead us further into a world of sorrow and division? 

or the simplicity of the Holy Spirit?

there's love.

and the call for love.

it's not so complicated after all....

No Hurry

No hurry: 

so really, I'm never asked to make a choice here, it's not about choosing to be kind, nor deciding to forgive. My only option is to hand everything over to the Holy Spirit, that part of the mind that is always right with its every decision, already connected to the source of love, and simply waits, patiently, for me to turn in its direction -

there's no hurry.

as eventually, when my suffering's far too much to bear alone...

I surrender to it's presence.

smiling that again, it took so long for me to do so.

Gently Offered

Gently offered: 

it's a quiet stance of kindness, peaceful, and still life continues in it's flow. There's no enlightenment found here, a smile, gently offered, is my awakening. I've finally arrived, a sincerity of practice, and it's simply forgiving, forgiving, forgiving -

everything, 

with no exceptions.

until there's just a moment cleansed of my projections...

and my heart is given to the world.

Sometimes

Sometimes:  

sometimes, maybe often, I simply choose the wrong teacher - not purposely so, at least not at this point in my practice of forgiveness. But still, a wrong choice just the same. What's great is that I quickly recognize my mistakes now, pivoting seamlessly to my most loving option. Sometimes, no one will notices my turn towards the louder voice of ego, it's so clear to me that this is not the direction I wish to go, and easily, with a small degree of grace...

I smile.

and simply choose again.

Having Faith

Having faith: 

it's only to the extent that I'm able to surrender, and nothing more is ever asked of me - as I am always able to define this edge, whatever little willingness I'm able to offer...

and this is exactly where the Holy Spirit meets me. 

for me, it feels like maybe, finally, I've arrived here, this edge of letting go and allowing myself to truly be guided by this gentle voice within. The paradox is that I'm more frightened than ever,as it seems I have so much to lose should my surrender prove wrong. Yet, as well, there's no turning back, there is no place existing even to return to - all I have is this present moment and a willingness to listen.

I've been led to this precipice.

a dangerous place indeed.

and now I'm asked to trust, to finally let go...

having faith that I can fly.
