Listening

Listening:

there are two thought systems at play here. Yet jut one is in opposition to the other, for only thoughts of love are ever real, and the voice of ego eventually rings hollow to our ears. That's the psychology of A Course in Miracles, summed up, but it doesn't really need to be explained much further than this. 

only love is real and it's voice is expressed through acts of kindness, brought to the forefront of the mind by continuously choosing to forgive the issues of our world. Ego, a voice-dream,speaks only of illusions while loudly proclaiming itself as real. The voice of love is silence, all-accepting, and patiently awaits for our listening-return. 

so we can see that there can be no true opposition.

reality, love, is never opposed.

 it only waits for our attention, and that's the purpose of the Course. This is true for yoga as well, Buddhism too, they point us towards reality. They're techniques in listening to the voice of love, practices in the art of heart-listening. Each moment gives us an opportunity to listen a bit deeper, to notice the briefest pause that's present just before the rush of ego's first shout. There's no need to fight it, or attempt to stifle its concerns. 

it's a dream voice, 

an echo of an illusory life we've never truly lived.

only love is truly present.

and eventually...it's all we ever hear.

until then,

we simply practice listening.
