I awoke to another amazing autumnal day. There was a mild frost last night, but it is warming up nicely. The Sun is brilliant, the air is fresh and clear; another beautiful day, on this place, on planet Earth.
My ego light went on last night. I got my feelings hurt about something inconsequential. At the time I didn't think of it as hurt feelings; I am more likely to feel abandonment or betrayal. Recognizing hurt feelings and owning them can prevent what happens next. Jamie and I are a team, when one of us jumps off the sanity cliff, the other is happy to follow. I won't bore you with the details. They are mundane, silly and indeed boring.
It is kind of a shock when these things happen. Everything is going along fine and suddenly we are in a rip-roaring fight. I just wanted to indulge my little complaint to a willing audience. That is hardly going to work when the complaint contains, not so hidden, blame. Oh well, another day of learning on Laughing Water Farm.
Why do these things happen? Especially when the light is pouring down on Earth and we are on the threshold of a New World. The world we are about to enter is a world of love. We can't perceive this New World when we still hang on to judgements, ideas, concepts, expectations etc. that are not loving. In other words, we need to give up all our crap.
We want to live in a world where everybody loves everybody else. Where do you think that starts? If I loved myself completely, my feelings would not have been hurt. If I loved myself completely, I would not have harbored the judgement [that attracted the thought] that instigated my complaint. In close relationships, it is difficult for the other person not to jump off the sanity cliff too, because they will see the complaint as our betrayal.
We are all on a voyage of enlightenment. It seems paradoxical, that the love that is pouring down on Earth could cause problems for us. However, to get on board with the awakening, we need to become aware of how we are limiting the love we feel and express, by the nonsense in our minds. We need to elevate ourselves, that means giving up all that low self esteem stuff we have been imbued with. We, all, know what we need to do. Sometimes we are not sure, how.
When we made the intent to awaken, we got on the train. It will carry us to paradise. We have to keep in mind that the truth is worth any of the brambles we go through. We don't have to fight and squabble to see what we need to give up on our journey. Every person is going to develop their own way of seeing and giving up their limitations.
When we keep in mind that we are giving up, in ourselves, what is not love, it will be easier. Also, remember that love is always the solution. We are going to slip. Self criticism and even self evaluation is not warranted. Self evaluation is important to the extent that it is couched in love and is an honest evaluation; often, it is criticism is disguise.
It cannot be stressed enough, that love is always the solution. Any time we separate from love, we are insane. We recover by reopening the channels to love. It is essentially remembering, that we are loved, unconditionally, by Source. When we discover we are insane, we need to forgive ourselves and bless everybody, our insanity touched.
It is very helpful if we give ourselves a break a few times a day. If we just sit and calm ourselves, quiet our minds, reach for the core of our being, feel the love emanating from ourselves and pouring down from the universe, we will find it uplifting. It is possible, to let the Love of Source, melt away all that is not loving. It is possible to learn to love yourself without going through the brambles. No matter how you do it, it is worth it. Love beckons, it leads us to paradise.
Love and Peace, Gregg
P.S. When I reread this I note the word FORGIVENESS needs to be stressed.
