Of Love and Values

Of love and values: 

from first reading on I took the directives offered by A Course in Miracles very seriously. Being told to teach only love resonated to my core level, and I've done my best to do so through the decades of my practice. To hear that love is actually who I am and that I could experience this as my reality by extending it to others stirred something deep within me. Perhaps it was the call to action. Decades later now and this still feels like an inner-revolution, not one of battle but of gentle inquiry into my values. To teach only love means that I demonstrate my truest values, that I cherish more the innocence of another than I do my own projections. It's always a value choice. Fortunately there is a guidance system within the mind that is always clear, in starkest terms, on the consequences of my values. The ego would have me continue to treasure the things of the world that are always temporary in existence, short-termed in pleasure and leaving me empty in their absence. The Holy Spirit speaks in terms of cherishing the eternal, the lasting values that only love can offer. Whichever choice I make will be demonstrated through my actions, a life grasping for empty pleasures, or softly teaching the reality of love. 

now, reaching this point later in my life...

I teach only love,

for that is what I am.

I love you, Eric
