UPS AND DOWNS

There can be bumps, jostles and sharp pebbles on our path. Sometimes we wonder, "What is all this talk about love?" We are not sure we can love anybody. How could we drop into this pit of despair? Weren't we flying high just yesterday?

No matter the path, we need to learn. We need to learn about ourselves and how we interface with others. Our learning has been sped up and intensified by the energy flowing to the Earth. We are in a hurry to get our act together. We want to be totally loving beings. We reach a plateau of peace and love, and we think we have it altogether, and bang, we go crashing into relationship hell [either with ourselves or others].

This world is a profoundly crazy place. We have much unlearning and realization to do. We still have hidden things about ourselves, that were the result of our upbringing, that featured unworthiness from every corner. We came into this world as perfect loving beings, we still may carry pockets of outrage that nobody [or somebody] wouldn't love us. We bought into much, that crippled us, and we may still be outraged, by what didn't cripple us. We cannot live with outrage, so we hide it from ourselves, and it poisons us, until it is uncovered and released.

Combine our intent to be loving beings, with the increased energy, and we will find ourselves with a surprise bump on the path. We will be discouraged. Why not! Its okay. Of course we are discouraged; it seemed like everything was going so swimmingly. Who wants to stumble and fall into the brambles? But we know there are no real accidents. We know this happening is for our learning. Feel the discouragement; we don't need to minimize it. We don't need to wallow in it, either. Look higher. We have the dream of realizing we are loving beings. Focus on it. We are loving beings. We will get over our bloody noses and bruised egos.

We need to give up our past, but we need to keep our dreams close. We can dream of greatness. We can dream of paradise for everyone. Our dreams will manifest. Let us all take a step towards realizing our dreams today.

For many of us, this is not an easy time to live through. The dichotomy between, what we know could easily be, and the pain and injustice, so many seem to experience, is so great. We can dream of paradise, but we feel helpless, to assist those in misery. We certainly need to help all we can with our love and resources. We have learned, however, whether it is a country, group or individual, it doesn't help to join them in their misery. We need to help them and nurture them, when we can, but suffering with them won't relieve their pain.

Haven't we known people who are compassionate and understanding. They are beams of light to their families and acquaintances. They are comforting and reassuring to those in pain but they don't join with others in misery. Folks, with this consciousness, can uplift people in misery by their very presence, they don't need to acknowledge the pain around them.

We are all like that some of the time. We would like to be like that all of the time.

If we know our Oneness with all, we may see, how being happy ourselves, raises the consciousness of all.  Only in this illusion are we separate, in fact, we are inseparable. We are all beams of light, to varying degrees shrouded, the more we can release our doubts, the more light we will shine on the world.

When we stumble along our path and become discouraged; remember that we are clearing away old debris that was shrouding our light. We may be momentarily darker, until we see, or experience what caused the stumble. We may never fully understand it at a conscious level, but we have grown and our light, henceforth, will be brighter.

Keep the dream, of paradise for all, and let it happen in your own life.

Love and Peace,  Gregg
