Summery weather has returned! The low temperature, last night, was higher than the high temperature on Friday. For the next week we will stay above freezing. Good, I would like to see Wintry weather postponed as long as possible. We still need to get those potatoes dug and get some things with the sheep squared away.
More than usual, I have no idea what to write about. I know we live in a mad world. It is wearisome to see the craziness continue. I know we are awakening, but sometimes it seems so slow. People's minds have been programmed for so many eons to accept what the authority figures state as true. We bow down to 'experts', in every field, and follow blindly the rules of the 'tribes' we belong to. We see what we want to see and we create according to our beliefs. Therefore, this painful illusion continues.
Most of us see enough, that we want this painful illusion, over with. Some of us feel that we need to understand how we got trapped, so we can see the doorway out. Others feel that once we see the dilemma, we can just step out. I use to think that the latter was the best approach; reasoning, that all we needed to do, was to accept that we created the illusion with our thoughts, and begin creating with love. Now, I think, there is no better or best, we each need to reach the goal we seek our own way.
Many folks, in the past, have been able to step out of the illusion and see it for what it is, an example; Siddhartha, who upon coming out of a lengthy mediation, announced "it is all suffering". We have had many teachers, who have seen, the same thing. All the major religions and spiritual movements are based on those people who could 'see'. Their messages were always corrupted and translated into methods of control.
So we really need to do both, we need to see chapter and verse, how we are trapped and manipulated and we need to focus on the world we want to see. Some of us can do both. Others are best at using their energy by focusing on the light, infusing the group mind with love. Others, are best at asking the questions, "How did we get so trapped?" "How come we believed things, that we had no evidence for?" "What methods were used to manipulate us?" "What are the motives of those who would control us?" The questions are endless.
It is clear that, if enough people are to awaken, to create a sane world; people are going to need to understand just how crazy this world is. Those who take on this task, must be strong enough, to avoid the sense of hopelessness, that is so powerful in this illusion. It is difficult to study this ball of pain and negativity and remain lighthearted. Many folks will need to understand it. These gallant folks are valuable teachers.
Once we are convinced, that this world we see as reality, is bizarrely crazy; we can begin changing our personal world. First change our minds. No longer engage in negative thoughts. No longer judge anyone else. No longer hold beliefs that were inculcated in the illusion. By loving ourselves and those around us we will create our own little paradise.
No matter what approach, fits us the best, the biggest block we have, to learning and change, is how we regard ourselves. We must give up our ideas of limitation and unworthiness. We were not born in sin! We have nothing to prove. We are love. We have no stains. The only thing that keeps us from realizing, what great beings of light that we are, is the faulty conception of ourselves. Evolution on this planet, is giving up all the negative programming we have received over the eons.
None of this is easy. Lifetime habits of the mind, do not give in easily, to our wish for change. Our minds may be haunted by judgements, long after we could see the silliness of them. Our intent is very important. Frequently, renew your intent to be a loving, nonjudgmental person. We are going in that direction.
I remind those who are weary; both personal and global change can happen swiftly. We may suddenly find ourselves seeing differently. The veil is thinning. Awakening can run through the populace like electricity through a wire. We are all connected. We are all Love.
I have said all this before. I hope you don't mind the reminder. I guess that is what I do, when I sit down here, and have no idea what I am going to write about.
Love and Peace, Gregg
