A CLOUDY DAY

It has been cloudy all morning. Cloudy, but, not gloomy; although that is a matter of mood. I have to admit I have had an occasional moody moment this morning. I have no idea what I am going to write. I think if I sit here and click the keys something will come to me.  

I read the economic forecast on the internet and they state that were swirling down the drain and there is nothing on the horizon to save us. I read the spiritual web sites, they are reassuring; basically saying, everything has to collapse in order for a new world to come into being. I have always believed that even before I heard anybody else say it. I, always, could see that the world was barking mad and it would have to collapse in order for us to give up the ideas this mad world engendered.

I learned, early, that the solution was not to fix the world, but to fix yourself. The perception you hold of the world is unique to you. Although, we all have great commonality in what we see; we all see a different world depending on the filter of our thoughts and feelings. In order to "see" one must look with unconditional love. That begins with loving yourself; which in turn, begins with forgiving yourself for every real and imaginary infraction. When you see can see a forgiven world, you will see that everyone is on the path to the same place and everyone is your teacher.

Of course this easier said than done. I have been consciously engaged in this process for at least forty years and anybody who knows me will attest that I have a ways to go. Don't lose heart, I might be a slow learner. There is no question that learning is speeding up. People are awakening everywhere. Sometimes, you might look around and  think nobody gets it! That is discouraging. When that happens, look for the negativity in your own mind. Gently blow it away; let love flow in. Now look around; you will see the world differently.

The next few months may be cause for struggle. All that is hidden must come out. All the ways we have been manipulated as a people will be clear to those who are willing to see it. All the atrocities committed by governments who pretended to be committed to peace will be unveiled. It will be unsettling; be prepared for it. Also, be prepared to forgive those who transgressed. There is no room for condemnation. Remember, we created this dysfunctional world collectively because of our separation; those who have erred are only the weaker ones. These, weaker ones, were often the more powerful in the old world. Since they had no sense of connectiveness, they felt no obligation to anyone and were able to pursue wealth and power relentlessly. As you see how miserable they are, it will be easier to forgive them. 

Practice seeing a forgiven world.

Love and Peace, Gregg
