Today we can feel the oncoming Autumnal Season. It is afternoon and it is still cool. There is frost predicted for the morning. I wasn't able to blog at my usual time because Tuesdays the morning a neighbor drops in and we spend time jawing about the universe. Some times it turns in to a rant. We talk about a great many things, often politics and current events. We have enough of a different slant on things as to make it interesting.
It is such a beautiful day it is hard to see the "old world". It appears that paradise is already surrounding us. Speaking of that, I was somewhat disturbed by my last blog. I think every thing I said was fine; but not the reason I said it. I was upset by the relenting resurrecting of 9-11. There is much to be revealed about that tragedy that is yet to come out. However, I teach that in order to create the world we want, we must give up the old world. It is a world created with fear. It no longer has value and happiness cannot be found there. I can generally view what is transpiring without reacting to it. I have said to people, who are disturbed by what is going on in the world, to look at it as if you were living a 1000 years from now. View it as if it was history, like we would view a film of the Roman Empire. There are many parallels.
In order to extract ourselves from the influence of the old world we do need to understand how we are influenced and how to give up the influence. However, criticizing, complaining, ranting about it etc. is not going to help. It only serves to disturb your own peace. We are the creators of our individual and group experience. We must own the "old world". We just don't want to do it any more. We need to forgive ourselves for the mess we created and move on. We will create a "New World" founded on unconditional love because we are loving beings and that is what we want to do.
In future sessions I will continue to talk about how we have been taught fear, in order to be controlled, so we can free ourselves from said control. I will avoid the rants.
Love and Peace, Gregg
