LETTING GO OF EVERYTHING

It was a dark and stormy night............ wait a minute...........wrong blog. Oh well, it is rather a medium cloudy spring day, 61 degrees F. It is already 11:37AM. I am getting a late start. No, I haven't been busy, but I don't feel particularly inspired. I have been sitting here at the computer since about 9AM. I sit for awhile. Look out the window, watching the sheep and chickens roam around the North pasture; then I get up walk around the house. Nibble on this or that. Tell Jamie I can't blog. She doesn't reply. I sit back down stare into space. Now what.

Maybe, I made a mistake when I said I was going to take each of societies institutions and describe how we have been deceived, and are being deceived. That would be easy enough to do, from my perspective. But who am I? I, like you, have been seduced by a culture, from birth, to see things a certain way. The deception has been total. If a radish was held up to the world, but a narrator was looking at a potato and describing it, what would we see? A radish and a potato have certain similarities, but their differences are significant. Everything is perception. We can be convinced that a radish is a potato. It is not hard to do. Where is the truth?

Each culture, has a narration, that shapes what we see. We are locked into beliefs, that are reinforced everyday by what we think we see. Do we see truth or what our culture narrater describes?

I can cover some of the low hanging fruit about science, religion, education, politics, government etc., but we need to understand the profundity of how little we see is 'truth'.

However, each one of us needs to take a journey into ourselves, to discover who we are. Who are we? What would we see, if we could see with fresh eyes?

I make a leap and accept, what the Great Ones have taught, and assume we are Love. Have I experienced it? Well I get a glimpse. If I could experience it all the time, I would never be discouraged. I would never be afraid. I would never have moods. I would never care about the past or the future. I probably wouldn't be writing this blog. We teach what we are trying to learn. I am trying to learn to live in the moment. I am trying to see the world without my skewed perception. I am trying to see only Love. Okay, okay, now we have to take out the word trying. We can't try. We can have intent and then we have to surrender to what really Is. Irritating isn't it. We were always taught we had to strive. Now we discover we need to let go. LET GO! We need to let go of everything we think we know; everything we think we see.

Faith is the knowing that All is Love. To get there we need to sink in to ourselves. I believe, we are all One. I believe, we are all Love. I want to experience it; All the time. We will get there. Let us make our journey sweet. Smile. Be kind. Be gentle.

Love and Peace, Gregg
