STAYING THE COURSE

Slate gray skies, an inch of rain last night, high humidity, temperature in the lower fifties; gloomy, right? Yet if we look at the trees and bushes we see them wreathed in light green, swelling buds. The grass is growing faster than the sheep can nibble it down. Anemones and hepaticas are emerging in the woodlands.

Yes, it matters what we pay attention to. Our lives can be full of little troubles, we can brush them off or we can add our grievances and sink down into a hole of our own making. We made this illusion with duality. We are constantly invited to look at the negative in every situation. It is always our choice.

We are at a moment of hesitation. We are beginning to see through the veil that has kept us blind to the glorious reality that awaits us. What is the hesitation? Do we feel unworthy? There are forces extant that would like to keep us from realizing who we are. They would like to keep us under control. They use their energy to keep us doubtful about the promise we have glimpsed. We have yet to see how unfree we have been. We won't realize how controlled we have been until the noose drops from our necks.

The forces that oppose our natural evolution, to knowing our Source {Unconditional Love}, are waning. They can't stop us. But they won't give up easily. They are masters at control and have learned how to trigger our doubts about our own worthiness and that of our neighbors.

We will be tempted again and again to look at the gloom. We can shift our focus to the light in our life. There is no better time than now to realize we are in control of our thought processes. What a huge difference we experience, when we raise our minds out of the cesspool of despair or self-pity and focus on the love that surrounds us. And it always surrounds us. Keep looking. If we don't see it; we look again and then again. We know it is there.

We have had a lot of practice by now focusing on the Love in our life. We know how to do it. We have felt the love flowing from family members, neighbors, strangers in the streets or stores. We can feel our connection with humanity. We are beginning to see that we are great beings of love. We are fully capable of creating a World of Love. Or perhaps it is already there and we need only merge with it.

Let us keep the love flowing and bless everyone we meet.

Love and Peace,  Gregg
