it's Simple

It's simple: 

simplicity, I'm so grateful for my own life being reduced to the value of the Holy Spirit, my path narrowed, and my only choice shown is between love and ego. Over the years my spiritual practice has lost it's urge for specialness. There's little need to search for enlightenment when every awakening opportunity shows up directly at my door. 

What could you want forgiveness cannot give? ²Do you want peace? ³Forgiveness offers it. ⁴Do you want happiness, a quiet mind, a certainty of purpose, and a sense of worth and beauty that transcends the world? (ACIM, W-122.1:1-4)

and that one lesson, 122 from A Course in Miracles simplified everything for me. It ended a near life of sifting through complexity for what was present all along. The Course reminds me that complexity is not of God, it's not valued by the Holy Spirit because it's just a collection of the unreal and will only lead me further than my goal. 

and the Goal is always God.

love.

The reason this course is simple is that truth is simple. ²Complexity is of the ego, and is nothing more than the ego’s attempt to obscure the obvious. ³You could live forever in the holy instant, beginning now and reaching to eternity (ACIM, T-15.IV.6:1-3)

there's my choice laid bare, the complexity of pursuit versus a holy instant where everything is given to me at once without my even asking. 

it's simple.

I only want the peace of God.

and so my life now unfolds from this single point on.

I love you, Eric
