Over

Over: 

we want the peace of God, and this seems a lofty goal, always out of reach. Yet lesson 185 of A Course in Miracles tells us that this is entirely attainable, and more so, that it is ours already - we only have to surrender the false beliefs of separation, letting go of the illusion of the world we see. 

the peace of God is ours already.

and to truly mean this...

everything's forgiven.

dreams are over,

we're home.

right now. 

it's that simply, but of course not quite so easy. We are adept dreamers, masters really, and the false reality of this world proves this so. Life can be exceedingly difficult, often severe in its toll, and we're fortunate for just a few moments of real joy. 

the peace of God seems very far indeed. 

and so the sincerity of our request is vital, a heart-felt plea to truly know this promised peace. The problem though, is that we're reluctant to renounce our very special dream, cherishing those things that keep us trapped within their troubled existence. 

we're not quite ready to be sincere.

and so the dream continues.

at least until we're ready to let go, finished with cherishing all the things that never  truly bring us peace of mind. We're now finally sincere. Lesson 185 reminds us that this is all we need, and that the next step, the only step, is offered through forgiveness. 

we renounce our dreams of specialness. 

seeing others as joined to this cause.

forgiving...

until the dream is over.

Illusory World

Illusory world: 

I don't necessarily believe the metaphysics of A Course in Miracles, and after decades of study the language still doesn't always resonate with me. But the simplicity and practicality of its message, the clear directive to forgive deeply and continuously, making no distinctions as to the size of grievances - there's been no greater gift to me than this practice.

an illusory world makes sense in a certain way, fitting nicely along side the thought of maya, as well as putting the onus of awakening squarely on my very shoulders. I am an idea in the mind of God, yet asleep and dreaming of a troubled existence. There it is, a nice cosmology, that God didn't create a meaningless world, I did, collectively with others and now our responsibility is to awaken. 

I like a clear directive.

but it doesn't have to be true.

even if it is.

so for my own peace of mind, my sanity really, my role is only to forgive. I don't have to believe anything other than the immediate peace that's found through this quiet practice, making no announcements, just gently extending myself through the world, healing, surrendering,

illusory world or otherwise...

I forgive.
