Available

Available: 

reflecting back on 5 years without my father, as Friday marked the date of his passing - and my deepest realization is that my father is as present now as always. There's an availability here, an openness, that keeps me anchored in his presence. So really, a short reflection:

 there is no absence....

only love.

always available.

I love you, Eric

My Path

My path:

so forgiveness is becoming more my path then ever before now, and I don't just mean as a spiritual practice that's growing in depth and meaning. Beyond all that, it's a moment to moment choice for awakening. It's a path because I walk it sincerely through life and it leads directly to the experience of God's love. That's the carry over, 

a holy instant extending past a moment's choice 

and all he way to heaven.

my path.

my awakening.

forgiveness takes me home.

I love you, Eric

A More Loving World

A more loving world: 

it's a very gentle mindfulness, just an easy note of attention and then each thought forgiven. There's really no effort here, not even a practice or formal meditation. Life reveals the content of my mind, ego's projections or the loving thoughts of God. 

I've become mindful of the choice between the two.

at least sooner than I have before.

and now my live reveals....

a more loving world.

I love you, Eric

Teaching

Teaching:

Who would profit more from prayers alone? ³Who needs but a smile, being as yet unready for more? (ACIM, M-29.2:2-3)

I love these simple instructions on how to teach, how not to be forceful in message but gentle in all that is offered. A prayer will suffice. A smile might heal. These can be miracles given from a heart joined with the Holy Spirit in council. 

may my life be gentle today, my message quiet and clear....

I love you.

and may that help heal us both.

I love you, Eric

My Answer

My answer:

God is in everything I see because God is in my mind. (ACIM, W-30)

sometimes I think that any one lesson is enough, nothing more than the above statement is really needed to awaken. God is indeed in my mind and life now reveals this to me daily. The question is, do I wish to deny this, even occasionally, or to fully accept it as reality? 

so I ask myself that question everyday now.

and life reflects my answer.

it's beautiful morning.

I love you.

Peace, Eric

These Words

These words:

just write something soft and lightly beautiful this morning. That's all the page is asking of me right now - and even a few words will do. The world doesn't need my opinion or another lengthy explanation on any matter of current concern. Just write the briefest love note to whoever happens to find these words...

 so I love you, always now, forever, 

simply because I do.

and you were meant to read these words.

Only Revelation

Only revaluation: 

a very sincere question asked of me yesterday was if A Course in Miracles could be used to bypass trauma, and more specifically if I had used it as an emotional escape route. It's a great question, and the answer is yes to both aspects of it - but I didn't do it for very long and I never escaped anything. Trauma is either stored or it's forgiven. What I love about working with the Course is exactly what I once earlier feared. Everything, eventually, is brought to light in order to be healed. 

nothing can remain hidden.

at least not if healing is the only priority. 

and this is a deep healing that the Course offers, the kind that sets us free. 

liberation.

for me it's been a process, a slow unwinding of the past to reveal it's illusory presence. Forgiveness shows that I've been reopening my wounds, keeping them presently fresh, alive, and bleeding in the shadows. I was unaware of this because so much of my pain was projected onto other people. I didn't recognize it as my own. The Holy Spirit shows me the shadows I've placed on others. 

and then very gently ask's if I'd  like to heal. 

eventually,

I do.

so far, shadows keep appearing....and light continues to be offered.

it's a lifetime of forgiveness.

no bypassing.

no escape.

only revaluation.
