For Giving Me This Purpose

For giving me this purpose: 

so still on the theme of care-giving, how I've been shaped by my own experience of tending to my ailing parents all the way to the end of life, and that now I'm left to care for others in the most meaningful way that I know how. This was the great gift provided to me right after my father's death, grief stricken and bereft of purpose and the softest whisper arrived to me - to just continue in my care, trusting in a higher guidance. It's been 4 years since I've heard that whisper, and only now is it becoming more clear as to what I'm supposed to do...

love.

listen.

and to do my best to relinquish all judgement.

and so here I am, a practicing caregiver, a small content creator with a platform devoted to healing others of their momentary forgetfulness, reminding each person that they are loved and loving in their very essence. It's also a place that serves to remind me of who I am, providing me the care that I need to survive my own loneliness and fears. I've no idea what any of this truly means, how it will unfold from this point on - but I'm grateful for your presence, each of you that finds me. I love you...and thank you, thank you, thank you. For giving me this purpose.

and the healing that you offer.

I love you, Eric

Sharing

Sharing: 

what I've been asked to do is share, given a purpose, and perhaps now, at the age of 60 I feel fulfilled, as if I'm finally doing exactly what I'm meant to do. This isn't to say my time before was wasted, but that it was preparation to this point in time, everything leading me towards saying yes to what A Course in Miracles would call my special function. 

and it's simply sharing.

my own contribution is humble. I listen to great teachers, engaging in meaningful conversation and then break these talks down into smaller videos for just the right person to find exactly when these words are needed. I have no idea of the end result, nor do I need to - my objective is to share, praying that I find te perfect expression to offer the world and then letting go of the process entirely. 

my directive is to trust. 

honestly, I have do idea what I'm doing, I have zero editing skills and limited technology. But I'm sincere, and I love my guest and have faith that their sharing time with me for a reason. So each morning I wake up excited, ready for conversation and sharing. I'm trusting that every detailed is handled by the Holy Spirit and my role is to show up everyday with inspiration and enthusiasm - and even that is easily provided for me. 

I love what I do. 

and through this sharing....

I'm fulfilled.

finally.

I love you, Eric

Ask

Ask: 

but first I ask - for me to give anything of value I have to possess it, realizing that it's truly mine to now give away. I know with certainty my purpose in life, my dharma role I'm meant to play, and it's nothing that's been assigned to me by ego, my false sense of self and the belief system that it holds.

I am here only to be truly helpful. 

I am here to love.

I am here to forgive the world of my every illusion. 

but first I have to invite the presence of love more fully in my life, a request to Holy Spirit for loving thoughts to be recognized and then received before giving these ideas away. These are the purest thoughts of God, already and always present in my mind, yet long neglected. So I am asking the Holy Spirit to help me remember, to bring this loving presence into my awareness. 

and then once remembered...

give it all away,

completely.

but first - I have to ask.

I love you, Eric

Truly Helpful

Truly helpful:

for me, it's the most beautiful prayer, meaningful, and brings me right back to my only true purpose in the world. In chapter four of a Course in Miracles we are reminded that we are here to be truly helpful, representing God and not our own personal motives. This doesn't mean that we deny ourselves any comfort, we're not required to be monks and give up anything we now cherish. What we're asked to do is to look deeper into those things and people we value and use them solely as a means of awakening, using our every relationship as a transformative opportunity to extend ourselves as love. And really, this is easier, far simpler, than it might seem, as the prayer then tells us that we will be directed in our every word and deed, becoming an instrument of healing and peace. 

at this point in life, more so than ever before...

²I am here only to be truly helpful.
³I am here to represent Him Who sent me.
⁴I do not have to worry about what to say or what to do, because He Who sent me will direct me.
⁵I am content to be wherever He wishes, knowing He goes there with me.
⁶I will be healed as I let Him teach me to heal. (ACIM, T-2.V-A.18:2-6) 

and for this I pray.

Our Only Function

Our only function: 

it's a pretty lofty goal, recognizing ourselves as the light of the world and staying faithful only to that purpose. In fact this might sound way to much for us, beyond consideration even, yet A Course in Miracles states unequivocally that this is the reason we are here, and that it's actually easier than imagined, quite natural really - our only purpose is to be the light of the world. 

this is the function God assigned us.

to be our truest selves.

and of course this often seems to be the hardest thing for us to do. But this is because we've forgotten who we really are, mistaking ourselves for the littlest image that the ego can imagine and then attempting to enlarge it to the grander vision. This isn't to dismiss the things we do in life, our jobs might be vital in the service of others, or even bring us great joy in their performance. What we do is important, but it's never our true function - 

as that belongs to God alone.

so here it is, our function, a simple plan: 

continue everything as before, no changes in our lifestyle are really needed, and at every point of darkness, each desolate corner we encounter -  recognize the light of your own original innocence and extend it just a little. That's enough for now. The nature of light is illumination, it doesn't need direction, and there's no question to it's function. 

it just shines.

and so do you.

I love You.

I Promise

I promise:

go out onto the world and love others, with no exceptions, and don't exclude yourself. There it is, our life purpose laid clear and without any further instructions really needed. Anything else than this is simply furnishing in our lives, nice, maybe even greatly needed, but not our true dharma. The beautiful thing is that anything we feel called to do career wise, or how we wish to express ourselves, becomes an essential part of our sharing love. 

when we know this...our path is simple, easy, grace-filled. 

I promise.

I love you, Eric
