Turn Towards Forgiveness

Turn towards forgiveness: 

what I needed was forgiveness, not so much for me, but as a practice for navigating through what felt like a more complicated and somewhat sadder world. It's been evident to me that awakening alone isn't enough, that my engagement with life should be at once an internal affair as well as a means of healing what's seen, truly making it a seamless view.

and so my retreat within is to heal the world.

for that I turn towards forgiveness.

it's a practice.

healing my projections as each appears,allowing every grievance and resentment that makes itself known a moment to be recognized and then let go, a surrendering process not of my own doing, but of life proceeding in it's natural inclination. Everything heals on it's own, I'm not the facilitator, just a participant, an aware presence belonging to the whole affair.  

for me,

right now...

it's exactly what's needed.

My Only Option

My only option: 

I don't get to choose, not really, my only option is one of delay - do I forgive now, or do I to project my grievances onto the world and continue to suffer? That seems to be the extent of my free will, and even then it's mostly beyond my real control, as I forgive only when life has readied me to do so, broken me so completely that extended myself as love is surely my only true option.

and so with this...

no real choice.

I'm urged to forgive.

everything.

until my world is healed.

List of Grievances

List of grievances: 

it's my surrender now, faith, a gentle call to forgive my every grievance - and of course I feel that I'm not ready for this, that's it too much for me and I'll be unable to fulfill the commitment I've made to live my life from this surrender. 

forgiveness is my most difficult task.

until it isn't, 

and then it's just a simple letting go....

seeing through illusions.

as only love is real.

so my world is already forgiven.

yet right now, there's fear at hand, some resentment and a growing list of grievances. It's perfect, all of it, as it's the only task that's worth pursuing. And it's exactly what I've asked for, my list of grievances shown to made, brought to light and now the work begins.

God is the love in which I forgive.

and it's to this that I surrender.

A Peaceful Occupation

A peaceful occupation:

as it turns out, for me at least, it wasn't about awakening, not just clear seeing but the ability to live my life from this innocent point of reference. Something had been nagging at me, an urge to return to a path that didn't quite seem finished - and with that I opened A Course in Miracles again, over a decade past my last encounter and after a year of attending to both the text and daily lessons. 

what I wish to do is live my life from here.

I love the simplicity of forgiveness, that it falls solely on me to recognize my projections and to then heal my inner world. Nothing else is asked of me, just continuously forgiving until I'm completely out of grievances, however long this should be, and now I find myself doing so joyfully.

it's a peaceful occupation.

and I'm so happy I've returned.

With Nothing Further Needed

With nothing further needed: 

it's a mysterious calling, an urge to surrender fully and yet still engage so meaningfully with life, a deeper involvement that doesn't seem to be overt in any of my actions. Everything I do internal is now, softly undoing my projections of the world in silent repetitions of forgiveness. 

from here, the void of my projections...

I extend my prayers of love.

seeing the world in it's original innocence.

whole.

with nothing further needed.

That Only Love is Real

That only love is Real: 

things began to make sense to me when I read the explanation from A Course in Miracles on projections, that the world is how we perceive it and not how it actually it, a greater reality prevails just beneath the surface of our view. Our projections are literally a forced perception on the world, thoughts creating the appearance of a reality that only serves to boost the ego's concerns. 

this explains why if only love is real...

we see such a troubled world.

it's one of our own creation.

a projection.

based solely upon the ego's view of separation.

of course this is metaphysics, it doesn't have to be believed, I'm not even sure that I do - yet I love the antidote to this problem just the same. We heal the world, our thoughts about it, only through forgiveness, one projection at a time. It's a personal healing, no one else has to be involved, using the same principle of projection we now turn it towards one of extension, a soft offering of the reality of love to the world. So now we're continuously forgiving, through all of our projections...

until we're empty of every grievance.

and we see

 that only love is real.

A Leap

A leap:

it's not an escape from fear, there's no bypassing here, and yet there's a sure and certain freedom in surrendering the process to a greater mind than my own, a relief beyond any measure. This is my approach point to to life right now, a line drawn between all I've ever done before and this present moment where I now step into the unknown, finally letting go of the things that no longer serve. 

it's a leap into uncertainty.

as every moment truly is...

at least until we convince ourselves otherwise.

so it's at this point that I let go of a previous way of being, allowing life to recreate me through whatever means it wishes. There's no small amount of fear, but there's a sense of freedom that's larger still, a spaciousness that promise to embrace me should I fall.

and it's to that...that I surrender too.

trusting the unknown.
