WANDERING

I got up about an hour later than usual, this Morning, and in my eagerness to let my chickens out, I found myself taking a different route to the barn. I walked by different bushes, ducked under different branches and passed by a clump of day lilies I don't usually pay much attention to. It was the same distance, just a little different path through the yard. It is only hundred yards from my door to the chicken coop, yet one could experience a different world by altering the path slightly. I realized that from any spot, I stopped and observed, I would perceive a different world. 

In our spiritual journey we are cautioned to stay on the path. However, the path out of this illusion, is not the "straight and narrow" path often defined. There is nothing rigid about the path that leads us back to Source. It is the illusion that is full of rules and regulations. When our mentors cautioned us to stay on the path, they are recommending that we keep our eyes on Love. Let Love guide us every step of the way.

We are to stay in this moment. NOW! Get it? NOW! That is where Love is. Go with the Love, we are on our path. Sounds simple. And it is simple.

But........................ we have so much unlearning to do. We are in the moment. We experience nothing but love. Then our thoughts, programmed by thousands of years of separation, start pulling us out of the moment. No matter what the the thought is, if we examine it, we will find it is fear based. The dishes need washing. I wonder if we will get that bill paid on time? I wonder what that kid is up to now? What is happening in the Ukraine? What is wrong with my toe? I wonder if the mosquitoes will be bad for the party? The thought can seem important or silly. It has one function, to take us out of the NOW and reestablish us in the illusion.

Can we give up time? Can we live in a perpetual NOW and know all creative solutions will be given us? It is said that problems and solutions arrive together and there is no need to be out of the present.

Separation from Source has been wrought with fear. We indulged in separation from each other to the point where all kinds of competition and aggression, aimed at the other, dominated our psyche. Our egos became protective shields to keep us safe from attack. We learned. We saw that this path only led to perpetual hell. We saw that it was fear of the other that kept us from paradise. We learned that we had made a whole array of things to be afraid of and they kept us from experiencing truth, which is love.

We could see that Oneness with Source and Each Other was where our safety lie. We discovered that pursuing Love was our path back to Source. More and more we are learning to be in the moment. More and more we are learning to reject fear thoughts as meaningless. As we go along our paths of love we begin to glimpse ONENESS. What if we all existed in one energy? One creative force? A creative force that was Source {Or God if you prefer}?

What if we could exist without fear? Without anxiety? Without a past or future? What if we could just wander through creation experiencing what is? I love to wander. Let us wander through this universe with love and then explore the next one.

Love and Peace,  Gregg
