Transcendence

Transcendence: 

I see it now as transcendence, a meditation that quite literally takes me beyond the ego's realm of time and judgement to seamlessly touch upon eternity and the bliss of love's awareness. Forgiveness has become my continuous practice, not as a need to get it right, but as a means transcending the mundane experience of what my ego always seems to offer. There's no battle here, much like mantra meditation it's a soft return to ease my wandering mind back towards the quiet fields of peace. But here, with forgiveness, the mantra is my own petty grievances, my slightest resentments, and they all serve for my release from a self-created world of harsh judgement and condemnation. This is why nothing can be bypassed, everything is brought directly to awareness and examined for it's sense of worth - asking does this thought bring me peace is the predecessor to forgiveness.  

and as it is with meditation, a shift of mind comes completely on its own.

I'm not the one that makes anything happen. 

transcendence,

being the grace of pure awareness...

shows me a forgiven world.

Triggers

Triggers: 

early in A Course in Miracles, just 5 days into the workbook lessons, and already the key to a peaceful mind is presented to us - I am never upset for the reason I think. Of course this takes time to truly understand, even longer for it to unfold through an actual practice in our lives. Decades into the Course and I can still convince myself that I know exactly why I am upset and someone else is directly involved in this issue of distress. But I know better now, I don't take my own accusations towards people or events quite so seriously any longer, and more easily let them go in order to deeper into exploring the matter that's really at hand. The world is acting as my trigger, every small instance irritation all the way to a great surge of anger exposes the ego's agenda of keeping me small, separate, and alone. It's my fear being shown to me, my perception of another revealed as a projection. 

and now I get to heal.

no lesson from the Course is more important than another. Each one is vital to a complete understanding and builds to a comprehensive practice. My life is a testament to this, with triggers still present and moments where blame, guilt, and loneliness are still involved. But not as much and never for very long, as these lessons come so quickly and easily to mind. At this point it's all pretty seamless now, just a little pressure on the trigger and the opportunity to ease this tension instantly makes itself known. What an incredible opportunity -

I get to choose peace.

and seamlessly, almost always...

I do.
