I'll Meet You There

I'll meet you there; 

it's a troubled world by all accounts, maybe more so than ever, or at least more sophisticated in it's means of connecting us to a sense of global problems. Many of these issues are ancient hatreds that have just continued in new and different forms, having never been truly resolved within our hearts. And of course that's the real issue at hand, not the world at all, but our own unresolved belief in isolation, believing that we are small and insignificant bodies navigating a vast and senseless realm. 

yet if we only knew how deeply we are actually connected.

A Course in Miracles suggests that nothing will be solved at the level of the problem itself. We're not talking bypassing here, yes, we should definitely help others, feed the hungry and shelter the most vulnerable among us. Vote, be politically active if that's what your heart calls for. But never thing that any of this will ever really address our deepest issues. 

they never have before.

here's another thought from A Course in Miracles, that "the holiest place on earth is where an ancient hatred has become a present love." And there's the answer to our every trouble - we've forgotten how to truly love. It's never taught, not even in our most traditional institutes of religious learning. We've only learned beliefs systems that keep us rooted in the problem. 

we need to learn to love again.

an entirely new level.

a beautiful quote from Rumi -

"out beyond the ideas of right and wring doing there is a field. I'll meet you there".

and that is we're the problem is solved.

a field of love present within us all.

indeed, 

I'll meet you there.

I love you.

Holier Still

Holier still: 

as it truly is, that's the real world A Course in Miracles talks of, a place not seen through the perception of the ego, but a state of mind experienced through our forgiveness of the illusory world. This is a borderland, a thin mind-strip between here, what we've created, and our eternal place in heaven. We could claim this as the final step before reaching Nirvana, restful and at peace before entirely awakening from this collective dream of ours. Of course this is metaphysics, and a skeptic might ask if any of this is true at all and do I really believe it. 

my honest answer is...

I don't know.

but there are glimmer of a pure light that seem to leak through as my practice of forgiveness deepens, as if there's a word made entirely from a holier light that only shows as my perception changes. These are the times when I experience real love, unconditional, and possessing a will that only seeks to be extended as a gift to others. I'm no longer really concerned with metaphysics - but that light, softly brilliant, and peeking through from somewhere holier still...

I believe that light is real.

Classroom

Classroom: 

if life is a classroom, an opportunity really, then our role here is to be both student and teacher, and the subject is always how to express ourselves as love. I've long resisted this analogy, not liking the idea of cosmic assignments for us to fulfill. Over the years though, and through my own experiences, I've come to embrace in a more subtle way - this isn't about learning and then moving on to a more advance assignment or another classroom, it's life, each moment, and my own most intimate involvement. The classroom is my every thought that holds judgement against myself or another, my lesson is recognizing resentment in all of it's many forms and remembering to forgive. 

the subject is always love.

and my only assignment, in every classroom moment....

is to extend it to the world.

Bedrock

Bedrock: 

my own deep sadness is still often present, there's been no spiritual cure that has chased depression away and delivered me a perfect life. Not yet at least, and I suspect not in this lifetime. But there is a difference, noticeable so, and brings me great relief - there's an ever present state of joy now too, an underlying bedrock that the currents of sadness pass through. It's always been here, though largely unnoticed, yet as I grow older it has become more central to my focus, a sanctuary of absolute love that calls so readily for my return. Yes, I still get drawn into those upper currents, sometimes lost for brief moments. There's just no longer the fear of drowning.

as there's a bedrock of joy beneath these currents,

always.

Decisions

Decisions: 

today I will make no decisions by myself, and how freeing I'm finding these words, a declaration of freedom that's bringing a brand new sense of spontaneity and trust to my life. In chapter 30 of A Course in Miracles we're given the rules of decisions, and at first this may seem just another practice added to our spiritual list of things we need to do - yet really, once clearly understood and tried with only a little effort of remembering to check within for guidance...

it's completely freeing.

so it's with this these words each morning that I free myself of the burden of my own worst decisions. I begin the day with gratitude and then an immediate surrender. My only practice here is to remember that I am guided to the experience of love throughout the day, and if, or rather when, there is forgetfulness, my discomfort with any situation will guide me back to surrendering again. This is where the spontaneity begins - letting go of my every demand for how life should meet my ego. 

and simply trusting in the unfolding gift...

a life of love now offers.

A Return

A return: 

surprisingly, for me, there's been a return of Jesus as a presence in my life, absent for quite sometime, and now I find myself comforted by the heart space that he offers. This isn't in any formal sense, it's not religious in anyway - it's Jesus as a symbol of my own best thinking, an ever present loving thought that always seeks to guide me towards forgiveness and the release of my worst judgement's.I haven't questioned this return, and have no idea as to why it has occurred other than my heart was ready and this guidance was much needed. It's also a very private affair, personal and intimate.

so I will only offer these few words...when the heart is ready,

when it's broken open, and now spacious. 

love appears.

in whatever form it's needed.

I love you, Eric

Miracle Workers

Miracle workers: 

and so we're call is to be a miracle worker, to set forth in life and cast away all judgement for the sake of regaining our own lost innocence, recognizing who we truly our through the eyes of another. A miracle is simply a shift of perception, taking us from a fearful thought system that's projected outward, to a mind that's healed through the practice of forgiveness. 

miracles heal our misperception of the world.

we're miracle workers.

all of us.

and we're called to heal right now.
