Joining Liechtenstein's Army

Joining Liechtenstein's army: 

sometimes even a social media meme can offer some deep insight - and an amusing one the other day informed me that Liechtenstein's last military engagement was in 1866 when 80 men were deployed to their border and upon return their unit had increased by one. Apparently they had made a new friend who accompanied them home. This is a true story, my doubts caused me to do some quick research, and indeed, on deployment during the Austro- Prussian war, the Liechtenstein's army increased by the count of one due to friendship. 

there's no reason why they couldn't happened now.

of course not in the same details, the world is much more complex and complicated now, and warfare has gained a sophistication of easy use that seems to make it a ready made solution to certain affairs. But this isn't about  geopolitical issues - it's about friendship, increasing the number of those we love by a single digit. Every war begins with the decision that we would rather destroy instead of extend love. It's a choice, with even the smaller battles that we face everyday in our personal lives being chosen in an instant of forgotten options. Every one of them. Warfare is also the abdication of personal responsibility, surrendering our goodwill to political leaders in an easy shrug for battle. 

so obviously, I have no solutions for such complex issues.

I'm not a soldier, nor politician.

but I do have a choice -

and I'm joining the, now defunct, Liechtenstein army.

I'll simply make friends. 

I'll be kind.

and leave my battlefields behind.

I love you, Eric

Our Most Loving Choices

Our most loving choices: 

this is a path of radical responsibility, a personal choice of undoing the ego's hold on a chaotic world by denying its existence as real. My thoughts are chosen carefully, realizing their power of creation and wishing only to heal the suffering of others. It's mindfulness, but simplified between two thought systems  - choosing between the ego, which is shown to me by the worlds present condition, or the Holy Spirit, the part of my mind that extends only the loving thoughts of God. This is not a course in bypassing, but one of self-realization, of knowing myself as truly God's creation and recognizing that you are as well, all of us, and that collectively, through each of our most loving choices...

we heal the world.

Radical Responsibility

Radical responsibility: 

we're asked for no less than radical responsibility, acknowledging our role in the play of life's projections, relinquishing judgement of all that occurs, and seeing straight through to the original innocence of others -it's with this acceptance that we begin to heal the world. 

everything is our responsibility. 

if only at the most subtle level of involvement.

consciousness is participatory.

this means the world, how we live and view it, is entirely our creation. One of the most meaningful lessons of A Course in Miracles asks us not to seek to change the world, but to choose to change our minds about it - and it's through this alone that the world will change. Again, it's radical responsibility, not blame, just acceptance of our own role in salvation. 

we're meant to heal the world.

because it's our creation.

a projection, really.

and seeing this, 

truly so...

our world then begins to heal.

Love, Eric
