BACK TO THE BASICS

It suppose to get down to 33 degrees tonight with widely scattered frost. Autumn has arrived. I think it is a human condition not to feel ready for it; but this year folks seem especially unready. Of course, I am basing this on just a few comments I hear; for myself, time has been going so fast, it is a blur.

The infrastructure of the old world is collapsing. The banks are insolvent, the stock market makes no sense at all. Although, the banks are making more money than they ever have before, they cannot make up for the bad debt that lies in their vaults, e.g. credit default swaps etc. The average worker makes less than she/he did during the 70s when corrected for inflation. The so-called recovery does not exist. Only, the rich have become richer.

Nobody can stop the New World, created by love, from emerging. It will arrive in stages. We will be surprised by the sudden sense of world peace as the existing skirmishes shut down. A new banking system will be in operation, soon, based on precious metals. This will be a temporary fix. Our whole relationship with money will change and soon, we will realize we don't need it. New energy sources will relieve us from our dependence on fossil fuels. There are many devices in development that use so called "free energy". There will, no longer, be the buying and selling of energy. Exploitation of the Earth will come to an end. Folks will recognize the equality and worthiness of everyone.

In the years to come, we will rethink everything we thought we knew. Education, healthcare, transportation etc. will all be changed. Most of what we have done has been based on false premises of who we are and what is our purpose. As we learn our true history and get a better sense of who we are, we will modify or completely replace, our existing institutions.

Things will look a little chaotic for awhile. Those, who would have enslaved us, have indoctrinated us with many, many fears and many false beliefs. We have much unlearning to do. The consensus illusion, we created [what we thought of as reality] is insane. It has little connection with the reality, that we create as a heart expression. The reality we create as part of Source.

To get through this short, chaotic, re-adjustment period, we need to get back to the basics. Over the last several years, we have learned to appreciate how our perception decides our experience. How we think and feel determines what we see. We are the creators of our individual experience and we create the world, we see jointly, with our neighbors.

The basics are: we are creators; we create with the energy of love or we create with fear; we create by having thoughts and then giving them the energy of our feelings; we are One- what we feel or do effects everyone; there is only now. I am sure the reader could add to this list but this is a solid beginning.

The chaos will not affect us if we can stick to the basics. We don't need to allow fear in our minds. We need to be alert to what enters our mind and give fear the bum's rush when it appears. We need to convince ourselves that worry has no value. Worry, as an aspect of fear, is a tricky companion. Worry tries to trick us into thinking it is responsibility. Worry plays into our superstitious natures, "what we worry about won't happen". Don't let worry dress itself up as something respectable. It never is.

But we can't fight fear. We can only choose not to be afraid. The best way to eschew fear is to open up to love. If we constantly remind ourselves we are love, fear will have difficulty taking hold. Love is easy. Love is enriching. Love is natural. We can practice bringing our love to the surface. When we see someone, we can intentionally look at them with love. It might help to say to ourselves, "I love you". When our friend, neighbor, relative or stranger feels the beam of love, they can't help but light up. Your smile at someone in the grocery store may go around the world.

We need to love ourselves. We are not little love machines in isolation. We are 'one' with each other and one with 'Source'. The love, we beam out at the person in the grocery store, is the Love of Source. All is One.

Those of us who have learned to meditate have probably found that place of quiet and felt the love of the universe. It doesn't have to be a formal meditation. It can be just a period of suspension of usual thought, a quieting of the noise in the mind, a period of deep peace. We can have this experience washing dishes or weeding the garden. We need to find a way, to periodically drop into a peaceful place, where we can feel the flood of love emanating from the universe. We can talk to our higher self [or if it fits with our belief- talk to God] It helps to talk things over with ourselves when we are in quiet place of love. We all have guidance. Our actions can come from a deep place of being.

Many folks will will need our help. When we come from a place of peace and love our help will be effective.

On Monday, I would like to talk about relationships.

Love and Peace,  Gregg
