CREATING PARADISE

Even though the cold will persist for a little while longer, I can feel Spring's arrival in my bones. It can't be stopped. It is coming.

And so is paradise. The template for paradise has existed since our separation. It has been planned to the last detail. We need do nothing but allow it.

Many of us have heard the promise and are frustrated because nothing seems to be happening. If you look there are changes that can be seen. The controlled media overshadows the positive with their cries of doom.

More importantly, we don't have to wait. We can allow paradise in our own life merely by choosing to see it. See love in everything. You will begin to see paradise emerging. Have you had the experience of happiness flooding your being for no apparent reason? We are just sitting there and all of a sudden we realize we are extraordinarily happy. If it hasn't happened, it will soon.

At our soul level we know we are one. Our hearts know our oneness. But our minds................. they are often ruled by our egos. Our egos don't want to give up control. Seeing oneness means they can't control us anymore with fear and judgement. We may think of our egos as a spoiled unruly child. A child that needs to be reassured that it won't die if it loosens its control. When our ego acts up, just love it. Tell it, oneness won't deprive us of the awareness that we have separate identities. As long as we have bodies we will have a sense of separation. We sense through our bodies. But that separateness can be rich and we can reinforce each other with love.

Will your heart to rule your mind. The heart is love. The heart knows how to deal with the ego. The mind is a marvelous machine. A wonderful calculator. An amazing gatherer of information. It is an inept decision maker. It thinks it knows about love. It doesn't. Our hearts must drive our minds and make the decision. The heart knows love. The heart knows oneness. 

So we don't have to wait. We can create paradise now. Be happy. When we are happy our love flows out to the whole. As the global love increases the dark recedes. You can't be controlled by the dark if you won't buy into their control mechanisms; some variety of fear.

Jamie and I were talking about the people of the world and how so many have difficulty seeing how they have been manipulated and controlled. I said, "Most of us are like sled dogs. We put the harness on in the Morning, pull the sled all day and hope for a fish at night". They don't have time to look to the left or the right. They are busy surviving.

We help them unglue their eyes with every loving smile, with every loving thought. We can't force them to see. We can help them to see only by opening our own eyes. When we acknowledge how we have been manipulated and used; when we can slip the harness off ourselves, then, and only then, can we help our neighbor remove his harness.

But no matter, if our harness is half on half off, if our eyes are still squinting; we can begin the process of bringing in paradise by our willingness to see it. Let's remind ourselves several times a day that we are great beings of light who are entitled to live in paradise. We shall take every opportunity to bless all around us; shine our great smiles on all and see the love in everyone.

Love and Peace,  Gregg
