A Final Prayer

A final prayer: 

there is a final prayer offered in A Course in Miracles, the last rung of the ladder in our climb to heaven, and it states that - "I cannot go without you, for you are part of me". This prayer recognizes our oneness, no longer metaphorical, but truly that we will not reach heaven without being joined by every brother and sister, together, or it's not realized at all. So my own prayers are slowly turning to this realization, knowing that my needs are not separate from yours, and that they meet in the essence of this prayer. I pray for my awakening...knowing that there's a single dawn in which we join.

may it be so.

I love you, Eric

How Everything Serves

How everything serves:

and so defenselessness is essential for true forgiveness. It's become a mindfulness practice that informs me when I'm reacting from ego's perspective, fearful, and not resting in the love of God. Everything serves a holy purpose in someway, even the urgent need to defend my point of view. What was once viewed as a negative trait that blocked heartfelt communication - is now its first inkling is a reminder to surrender and let love lead the way. It's the opposite of bypassing really, more mindful, recognizing what's occurring within, and then just allowing myself to be present to the need to defend my every point of view...and simply letting go. Even if it still takes a few moments for this happen. 

defenselessness is a practice.

it's a meditation carried off the cushion.

 and how everything now serves the yoga of forgiveness.

The Holy Instant

The Holy Instant is a consciously chosen moment of eternity. It's without timeline and the present is offered towards another without agenda of the ego. Only love is given, and only our original innocence is recognized. We are joined in the presence of the Holy Spirit. 

. The Goal: To recognize that our perceptions of separation and any conflict are illusions, interpretations of others and events that are being dreamed within the present moment.

. The Method: When we feel any sense guilt, if  there is anger is towards anyone or anything, or even a mild annoyance persists  - we stop and offer that thought to the Holy Spirit.  

. The Mantra: I am responsible for what I see. I choose the feelings I experience, and I decide upon the goal I would achieve." (T-21.II.2)

This is our instant meditation, available any moment needed. It's when we truly being to live the yoga of forgiveness as a continuous practice off the mat and beyond the meditation cushion. The Holy Instant is freedom, it's liberation from our enslavement by the ego. Our practice is to extend it whenever possible - and it's always possible. We just have to remember. And through this process...

we awaken,

I love you,

Mighty Companions

Mighty companions: 

and so I have come to find that I am truly blessed by what A Course in Miracles refers to as mighty companions, those friend, both seen and unseen, who walk beside me on the way that I have chosen. They are vital in my life now, bringing light to those darkest places that once kept me blind. These friend work miracles, and more so, they teach me to work miracles in my life as well. So for me, this has been a long period of learning trust, finally surrendering the notion that I move through life alone. I'm recognizing that I have never really been alone before, how my deep sense of loneliness was only been based upon false perceptions offered by a demanding ego. There are mighty companions in this world, and I don't always understand their role, not specifically at least. But I'm learning to trust in the perfection of their arrangement, appearing in ways that might be beyond my present understanding...yet knowing that only love is real. 

and they walk in light beside me.

thank you, thank you,

 thank you.

Occam's Razor

 Occam's razor: 

Occam's razor suggests that of multiple spiritual pathways the one with the simplest set of elements will lead us most directly to our true home. Toltec seer Carlos Castaneda asked us to distinguish the path with heart and that should be the one we follow. For me, A Course in Miracles is my most direct path, one with heart and the simplest of all to follow. 

I am the Love of God. 

My only function here is to remember.

I do so by forgiving every seeming obstacle to the light of this awareness.

Occam's razor.

and that's my only practice.

I love you, Eric

Following Echoes

Following echoes:

above all else I simply need to listen, truly and deeply so, beyond the superficial noise that's offered by the world. This is an active listening that brings me to a reinterpretation of what's first heard. Lesson 151 of A Course in Miracles tells me that all things are echoes of the voice for God, reminding me that my every initial reaction is wrong, a shallow judgement that will mask the Holy Spirits words. I've rushed through life on advisement of the ego, listening to the rush of noise that only led me to to hurtful conclusions. I'm asked to listen now, to follow the everyday echoes to a deeper meaning - and it seems I'm finally ready to pause and allow myself to be guided by the loving voice for God. 

above all else...

we only need to listen.

deeply so.

I love you.

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.
