LIGHT UP THE WORLD

 

The wind was blowing all night and it is still blowing. It is not cold, about 33F, balmy for this time of year. However, it seems threatening, as if there is a big change coming, which could mean more snow and cold. Well, we have escaped any real Winter so far; it's time.

The weather doesn't reflect my mood, although, I had a little downer last night. I have been pretty good through most of the late craziness, but last night I suddenly saw the bleakness of the world. For a moment, I experienced the hopelessness many must feel. Then it was followed by a period of self-criticism. I didn't like that.

Fortunately I know how to get out of that negative space. I know, that when we have those experiences, we are doing them to ourselves. We are hanging on to some negative thought and emerging ourselves in some self-created negative program. The first step to getting out of a bad mood, is accepting the fact, that it is something only we are responsible for; we will always get plenty of help from those close to us, but it is our thing. Pointing fingers just delays our getting out of it.

It helps to remind ourselves that we are One and One with Source. We can't have a negative experience, at the same time, we feel our Oneness with Source. However, we can get ourselves pretty isolated from everything in the universe. We are masters, at creating the illusion of separation, and we have been doing it for a very long time. Knowing it is our responsibility, is freeing. It gives us a pathway out. We know whatever experience, we are having, it is not truth. The truth is, we are always pure immortal energy. We are always part of Source.

When we calm our minds, we can feel the loving energy of the universe, surrounding us. We can let ourselves rejoin Oneness. We can let go, the recent and older, past; whatever it is that is haunting us. We need to stop dragging the past into the now and terrifying ourselves about the future. When we are convinced that Now is Love, there will be no more discussion.

Someday, we will go through this exercise, of getting out of a bad space, for the last time. It gets easier and easier. The light is growing. Every time we lift ourselves up, we help everybody rise. Our every smile, our every laugh, lightens everyone!

Let's light up the world!

Love and Peace, Gregg
