The Only Choice That Matters

The only choice that matters:

we mistakenly believe that the election is between two candidates and their parties. It's approached as a matter of sides to be taken, one warring faction against another, and that there will be a wining party and a losing one. This is the politics of the ego - and it keeps us trapped in the paradigm of previous generations, a perpetual battle against ourselves.

and everybody loses.

every election, this one included, is a personal matter and has little to do with who we vote for. It's not about election day itself, nor political wins and losses, and nothing to do with candidates. Here's the significance, and maybe most important of all in these next few days -

what do we do after? 

this is when we presented an important opportunity - 

do we choose peace? 

love?

or continuing warring against each other?

it's the only choice that matters.

I'm reminded that a that we're all teachers of God, students too, and right now we're in a unique position to teach/learn exactly who we truly are. In the Manual for Teachers A Course in miracles states that our qualifications as a teacher consist solely on a single moment when we make a deliberate choice to not see our own interest as being separate from another's - 

or perhaps more concisely stated...

we simply choose to love.

so do we teach/learn this all important lesson?

I don't now.

but it's the only choice that really matters.

A Quiet Revolution

A quiet revolution: 

political season, but then it always feels as if we're now in a perpetual challenge of choosing sides and being asked to divide ourselves against each other. We're watchful and mistrustful of our neighbors motives, concerned about what candidate's sign might be posted in their yard. It's always political season these days it seems. And it's tiresome, deeply so, all the way to the bone level - 

to the point of the soul actually. 

so I'm done.

just like that, 

I refuse to join a side against another, anyone, politically or otherwise. Yes, I have my preference and for good reasons. There's a list of concerns that keep me going to the polls to vote for what I feel are vital challenges to the world. But I also know that the only meaningful change that will truly make any difference is from within ourselves. Until we confront our own inner divide we're simply spinning wheels endlessly, replaying the same scenario through different times.  

what I'm asking for is a quiet revolution. 

but not for anyone else.

this is my own task at hand, a healing opportunity, going within to the very source of my projections that I've placed upon the world. With this action I will change everything, literally so, or at least my own perceptions. A small healing perhaps, but profound -

and a ripple effect place in motion. 

my own quiet revolution.

loving all the world.
