A Terrible World

A terrible world: 

sometime times it feels like a terrible world, a hurtful place in desperate need of healing yet with too few people who actually seem to care. So very often I simple wish to give up, surrendering my remaining years to whatever peace I can gather on my own, away from people, a renouncing the entire world. Of course it's full of beauty too, with caring people who do their best to serve others. 

I guess we could say it's a paradoxical world.

or maybe that's just my point of view.

recently though, I've decided to give up on changing the world, it's no longer my issue to fix and beyond my pay grade anyway. I'm renouncing it all, happily so, and yet at the very same time I'm more committed than ever to a collective healing.

a paradox for sure.

or so it seems. 

I love the message from A Course in Miracles that urges me to not seek to change the world, but to go within and seek to change how I perceive it, examining my every projection and healing them all through the means of practical forgiveness. It's my role, my only role, to heal myself, forgiving one projection at a time until they cease to show me such a terrible world. That's it, a simple pattern of forgiving myself the illusions my mind has created, revealing the innocence that lies just beneath the surface of appearance and setting myself free from the grievances and resentments that I might hold. 

and with that...

I truly change the world.
