FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH

This is a lucky day! My first child was born on Friday the Thirteenth. A beautiful child and a marvelous adult. That was fifty two years ago in June. Speaking of time, has it been speeding up for you? I retired in 2000 and these last twelve years have gone by so fast. I realize time speeds up as you grow older, but this is ridiculous. The illusion of time is usually the first thing people accept, about this illusion, we think of as reality. Even as children we are impressed by the subjectiveness of time. Have you waited for a bus on a cold windy day? You look at your watch, your sure twenty minutes has elapsed, yet, your watch shows only five minutes. When your a child, the Summer last forever. There is a point in Mid-Summer where you can't remember any other season; Summer is endless. I have had that feeling rather late in my life, but these last few years Summer has been fleeting.

Now I accept the idea of time speeding up as a good thing. We are coming closer to seeing the end of duality. We are coming closer to realizing that everything we experience is an illusion. It is an illusion we have been creating, all along, with our thoughts.

For centuries teachers have been born on this Earth who taught us just that. I don't need to name them. You know them. Generally their messages have been distorted to control the people. There were always people who listened to the truth of the messages. There has always been gatherings of true seekers in ashrams, temples, monasteries, nunneries etc., all over the world; but even in their environment they amounted to a sprinkling compared to the whole.

In the last hundred years and especially in the last fifty years, people have been waking up in huge numbers. They are not only waking up to the idea that they create the World with their thought, but they see how our thoughts have been controlled by groups of folks for their own self interest. They use fear to keep us captive and to cause endless war and separation.

The consciousness of man has increased to the point where the controllers are losing their grip. It is over. We are free. It will take awhile for us to see it. Each one of us can help greatly by ignoring any message, that you get from anywhere, that invites you to fear. Any News message, any message from the government, from gossipy neighbors, from anywhere. Be especially aware of any message that invites you to judge another; individual or group.

We create the World we live in with our thoughts. As we grow in love, it will be reflected in the world we see. There are people gathering together with the purpose of joining their minds together to facilitate this evolution. Sometimes this joining is quite conscious, they are determined to see paradise under their feet. In other cases, the group is pursuing some other goal, an organic gardening community, a new way of educating children, a new approach to health care etc., their goal is a loving world, just the same.

My dishes were washed by a beautiful family member. I am free to pursue some other activity. Hmmmm  I haven't had a nap yet.

Love and Peace,  Gregg
