Largely Unnoticed

 Largely unnoticed: 

and so the most meaningful and important thing I do is largely unnoticed by others. It's an action quietly undertaken through the course of each day without anyone knowing what's actually going on. Practicing true forgiveness is now the undercurrent of my life. No fanfare or announcement, just an everyday affair between me and the world. It's an active meditation, an immediate awakening that brings me great comfort and relief. What's being forgiven here is the world itself, an entire belief system that keeps us caught within a dream. Forgiveness isn't an escape, it's simply choosing to remember that this is all my own creation, a mishap that never really occurred but is still playing out through my mind. 

so I'm really practicing self-forgiveness,

in whatever form it may appear. 

I'm remembering.

and slowing waking up from the dreaming of the world.

And So the Mantra Plays

And so the mantra plays: 

it's a mantra, perhaps really my only one, and whatever words or phrase used is secondary to its recognition. Forgiveness truly plays through my life as a mantra now, ceaseless in repetition, a soft reply to every encounter. The words are less important than the intent to see, deeply so, a wish to peer further than my personal sight allows and actually experience the light of God within another. So the mantra itself is just a silent nod and any word that follows is simply a confirmation that it's done. 

I let forgiveness rest upon all things (ACIM, W-342)

and so the mantra plays.

Artist of Infinite Design

Artists of infinite design: 

and only beauty remains, our kindest acts, and our every loving thought. I love the promise from the text in A Course in Miracles, that the Holy Spirit sweeps through our past, correcting every error seemingly made, and leaving only the love that's been shared as a testament to those days. What's been cleared away is the illusion that the past exists at all, or that it has any true meaning to the present moment. Yes, of course we could argue for our past, attributing mistakes to ourselves and others and believing that those memories make us who we are today. Yet that denies the reality of this actual moment, it's freshness and the richness of this very instant. The past has no actual bearing on this...and that's the love which creates and recreates me right now. So only our true creations remain eternal, what's been done through acts of kindness and shown as beauty. This leaves us artists of infinite design, heart-full with divine potential, along the endlessness of this moment as our platform.

let's begin...

again.

This is What Everything is For

This is what everything is for: 

it's simple.

really. 

I (ego) don't know what anything is for (lesson 25)

even relationships.

actually,

especially relationships.

but I do know what I want.

peace.

happiness.

real happiness...not based on my (ego) demands.

my (ego's) way has never worked so well to achieve this goal.

actually, 

it's never worked.

ever.

fortunately within me (Holy Spirit) 

wise and loving,

that knows what everything is for. 

so all I (the decision-maker) has to do is ask...

"Holy Spirit what is this for?' 

and it's revealed.

everything, including relationships,  most especially relationships are for the sole purpose of expanding love. It's how we remember who we truly are. Relationships serve only to bring us to a Holy reminder, an instant when we get to choose to see our own divinity reflected through the appearance of another. It's a practice. A commitment. 

and the only one that matters.

true forgiveness is our tool for transformation.

it's how we remember who we are.

here, in our relationships, forgiveness serve as a means of seeing.

I (decision maker) choose to see the light of who you are,

only this.

nothing else.

and so this is how we heal each other, ourselves, 

the world.

one moment of forgiveness at a time.

one Holy Instant.

extended through eternity.

I see You.

and I forgive those moment in which it seemed I had forgotten.

with this...we remember.

even if it seems to take some time.

and yet,

our Holy Instant, that moment of remembering who we truly are, 

that's forever.

I love You.

Holy Relationships

Holy relationships: 

as with all things, we asked to bring our relationships to the Holy Spirit, allowing a shift to take us away from demands towards the purpose of divine love. What it takes is willingness, just a little as A Course in Miracles is fond of reminding us, and it begins with the recognition that we don't truly know what anything is for, including our relationships. Yet the Holy Spirit does. So with this our every trigger, each familiar pattern we believed served us somehow, is now an offering to the Holy Spirit, laid at the alter of a higher understanding. We simply ask...

show me the way.

and thus, 

transformed. 

our relationships now serving our salvation.

holy.

Ksama

Ksama: 

it's a mind asana, ksama, which is a Sanskrit word for forgiveness, and with every word of that ancient language, so much more is layered in its meaning. Sanskrit words are often meant to convey qualities of virtue, not just a single action of label but an actual way of living. Ksama too is such a word and it is deep in the gifts that it offers. Here' we're not asked to forgive in any traditional sense, but to hold it deep as a posture of the mind an asana that is returned to throughout the day and lived as an expression of divine grace. There's an implied strength within the word, forbearance, that we are meant to return to this as a practice, building a stamina of forgiveness that carries us through life. This is also the forgiveness of surrender, releasing others of long held resentments, refusing to judge or hold a grievance, and knowing that this is our own true path of salvation. 

it's the yoga of forgiveness. 

and so for me, 

A Course in Miracles has become my yoga - it's my forgiveness path, ksama in its purest sense of grace and purpose. I've been led to this point, countless asanas, endless repetition of mantra, and cultivating prana though my breathwork. All valuable practices, preparing for me for a final letting go...in the end, moksha, liberation, is freedom from the heaviness of grievances. 

forgiveness is enlightenment. 

it's the path that takes us home...directly so.

Finally

Finally;

from this point on I will step back and let the Holy Spirit lead the way. Of course I've made this declaration countless times since my first encounter with this lesson from A Course in Miracles, and with equal sincerity every time. This morning, early and before the sun even hints at rising, I consider the lesson once more - there's no declaration made, it doesn't come to me as another grand announcement. It's much softer now, more of a grace than any sense of an achievement. I no longer wish to be in charge. I'm tired of my own self-created mess. 

I will step back and let Him lead the way.

and not in resignation,  

but relief.

being grateful to finally relinquish the role of leading the way.

it's time.

I love you, Eric
