Lessons

Lessons: 

it's just the same lesson, repeatedly endlessly it seems, and only the form ever changes, the content itself always remains singular in its solution. I've always resisted this idea, never liking the analogy of life as a classroom with lessons we must learn. Yet looking back through the years I see repeated patterns that if recognized, would indeed have been a tremendous lesson learned. 

saving me much suffering.

A Course in Miracles offers a different take here, yes, there's the analogy of the classroom, but it isn't setup as a means of graduation. The only concern is to wake up, ending our own suffering and then extending this peace to others. 

it's a much needed lesson to learn.

the only one, really.

from the Course workbook: 

all things are lessons God would have me learn.

and it truly comes down to this -

every unforgiven thought only needs correction.

so with this, 

as it is with every lesson...

forgive, 

and I will see this, everything, different.

A Brighter Light

A brighter light: 

what I knew, deeply and intuitively so, was that I could not hate my way through another presidential campaign season, that only way to survive, emotionally and spiritually intact, was to turn to another way of navigating through these darker days. A Course in Miracles has been part of my life for over three decades, invaluable, and a constant source of inspiration. It was a path with many levels though, at least for me, but the urge to take a deep dive, committing myself fully to a complete surrender to its path of light - was urgent in it's call. 

which brings me here.

right now...it feels dark.

and I know that my only way through this is to love, it's to forgive, and to keep returning to a brighter light that shines through every bit of darkness. This is my greatest practice, it's what I'm ready for, even if it feels impossible right now. But it's what I'm called to do, we all are, everyone of us....

love

forgive

and keep returning to a brighter light within us.

Peace, Eric
