Above the Battlefield

Above the battlefield: 

to move from form to content, relating less to the effects of the world and being more mindful of their cause - to be above the battleground is not indifference, far from it really, it's a tenderness so powerful that we wish to remove all reason for suffering to even exist at all. This is returning to the mind, our creative source that is the true cause of the world we see right now. The word that's often used is miscreation, implying that we've blindly created a world mirrored by our belief that we are an ego, small, limited, and violent.

 it's a battlefield.

sadly.

and we're asked to forgive it, moving above the battlefield to the source of it's creation. It's a choice, ego or the Holy Spirit, a continuous battle through life or the experience of peace. Sounds overwhelming doesn't it? But it doesn't have to be, not with the small, everyday, choices of refusing to give weight to the thoughts that condemn, smiling more often at our slightest judgement's, actually, just smiling more often at the ridiculousness of our predicament...we have trapped ourselves in an illusion, we're dreaming the world right now and refuse to forgive ourselves awake. 

to rise above the battlefield is to begin to wake up.

reclaiming our power.

one small, mindful moment at a time...

forgiving every choice that doesn't bring us peace.

Only Love

Only love: 

my only true goal now is a different teacher, shifting my perspective of the world away from the demands of ego and towards a more loving source. This isn't as difficult as it might sound, as both thought systems are within me and only one is actually real and holds my own best interest at heart. A Course in Miracles is mind training, gently yet persistently so, it's a Zen endeavor designed for the student to continuously choose the reality of love. I've been a poor student for sometime now, better each year, but not quite consistent in choosing the most loving teacher within. 

not yet at least.

as the years unfold though...I'm ready, more apt than ever before to consider the voice of love as my only real option. Of two teachers, I value just one. Even if I still mistakenly consult a mistaken opinion for a short duration. Eventually, and always....

I now choose only Love.

I love you, Eric

This Need Not Be

This need not be: 

it's not to be mistaken for bypassing - A Course in Miracles gives us a declaration of choice, either the chaos of ego or the peace offered by the Holy Spirit, yet this doesn't bypass the issue at hand. What we're given is the means to respond to any thought or situation with the tool of grace, a reinterpretation from the ego;s initial reaction to the more loving response of spirit. Out tool is reminding ourselves with just four words - this need not be. This is applied to any thought that doesn't bring us a peace, it's a mindful approach, a gentle notice of where we are right now, and then an easy prayer of letting go. 

this need not be.

we don't deny what's present, 

only recognizing that beneath our chaotic thoughts...

a quiet mind awaits.

I love you, Eric
