HOW ARE WE DOING?

Halloween is a quiet festival for us. We live in the country, ten miles away from the nearest town. We often have no tricks-and-treaters. Over the years, there has been children in the neighborhood and they grow up or move away. Currently we have one family with children that lives close by and they stopped over. Candy for the children and a libation for the parents. We carve a pumpkin and buy candy just in case. Of course, we buy something we like as we know we will have leftovers.

Many of us are working diligently on our self-improvement projects. I feel I need to reiterate, don't trap yourself in self judgement. Self-judgement can be hidden; you may not be aware that you are doing it. Our ego likes to continue evaluation of ourselves and it especially likes to lure us into thoughts or behavior that we, are trying to modify, and then condemn us for our weakness. What we think of as backsliding, will happen, again and again. Know that that is impossible. We don't really back slide because every time we cycle through one of these supposed back sliding events we learn and we learn and we learn some more. Some things are just very engrained, they have become very familiar and habitual. Don't regret that it takes continual practice to get over it.

We need to be lighthearted about it. Know that Source sees us as perfect already. Your creator knows we are perfect. Source made us perfect. Our separation is an illusion. All those so called blemishes, warts, flaws etc., that we picked up along the way, don't really exist.

There is never, never, never, need for discouragement. You are worthy of paradise period. Any comment on your worthiness is an ego judgement. It is a lie. Intention in this regard is everything. We will enter paradise together. The Earth is rising out of the old duality and we are rising with her. Sure there are a few folks who refuse to give up the old ways, who for whatever reason won't perceive a loving world. They will continue evolving in a world of duality and they will eventually join us.

Despite how the world may look, on a day to day basis, love is increasing at a phenomenal rate. Look for it. You will see it. If you can't quite see it, just wait, there are some eye opening events just on the horizon.

We need to remind ourselves over and over again. Don't judge ourselves. Of course, the key is, as long as we are willing to judge others, we will judge ourselves.

We have heard over and over again that everything is inside. We need to take time to be quiet. When we quiet our minds we will feel the peace and if we look for the love, we will feel it well up. We are love, we are perfect love and we are all connected through our heart centers. We are one,

Love and Peace,  Gregg
