It is a windy cloudy day on Laughing Water Farm. It is not cold, but not a day to invite you to do outside work. I finally got my bulbs dug. The amaryllis hadn't increased in size and the gladiolas split into two smaller bulbs; must be a reaction to the drought. We still need to dig the potatoes, the ground is like cement. We have rain forecast this week.
Since we got on the topic of mindsets, I have been thinking about beliefs in general. If we understood how this illusion works, we would give up the idea of beliefs. We make the world according to our perception which is heavily influenced by our beliefs. We see what we have programmed ourselves to see and never see reality. We stay stuck, constantly reinforcing what we already believe. We draw the moat deep and wide around ourselves and it takes a shock to get us to see differently.
Most people reading this have probably accepted some version of the idea that 'we are one'. If we are one, any belief that separates us diminishes our goal of oneness. Ideas of higher and lower; better and worse etc. have permeated our consciousness. There influence can be quite subtle. It is time we examine our beliefs to determine if any of them impede our goal towards oneness. We might raise the question, do we need beliefs? What if we could just look out on a world of unconditional love?
That has been what I have been saying all along. The real world is unconditional love. We have separated ourselves from it and we are trying to return. Deep inside we know we live in an illusion that makes no sense. Deep inside we know paradise is reality.
We created the religions of the world, in an attempt to return to paradise [oneness]. Because of our belief in separateness, we defeated ourselves by believing that our particular religion or view of the world was the only true one. Therefore instead of working together to achieve oneness we are hampered by the belief that we are somehow more knowing than the other person. All religions and beliefs are a path towards oneness. Some paths may or may not be more direct, but if you have the arrogance to believe your path is more direct it isn't.
The forces of darkness have used everything to keep us separated. They have been very adroit at using our beliefs to keep us from knowing one another. It is paradoxical that they have been most successful using religion, which is our attempt towards oneness, to keep us divided.
Practice giving up your beliefs and just see.
Love and Peace, Gregg
As the years draw on, I find my own worldview merging with your own more and more, but there are roadblocks to my synching completely, thus damaging our own 'oneness'. Such as the simple question "Why..."
ReplyDelete(Before going on, I just want to add that it can be so easy to misgauge emotional weight when engaging in communication with faceless text, so please know that I ask the following with no other agenda than pure understanding and yearning for growth.)
*Where does the concept of unconditional love emerge from, as well as its being a good thing?
*What are the dark forces you mentioned which seek to sparate us from oneness?
I have so many more questions, but I don't want to overwhelm you right away. I've really enjoyed reading your blog; the lovely farm imagery has helped to calm my mind since I discovered it recently. Thanks for the time you put into it.
Love and peace returned to you.
