GETTING THROUGH

It is an absolutely beautiful Morning on Planet Earth! I should be radiantly happy. Am I? Well not really. I am not bad, either. As I write this I feel fine. Writing helps me. Okay, what is the problem Gregg?

I wasn't going to write today, but I felt others may be having, some version, of the experiences I have been having and it would be helpful to talk about it.

Lately my default position seems to be down. If I am just sitting, not particularly thinking of anything, I feel mildly depressed. Keeping myself 'sparkling' seems more difficult [not that I am often sparkly anyway]. Intellectually, I am very optimistic about the World's condition. I have no doubt [again intellectually] that love will win over fear.

Wow! But, the horror in the world, gets to us. The invitation to fear invades our consciousness. All of us have a whole plethora of little fears. On a scale of one to ten they may be small; perhaps, only ones or twos. Important things like, am I really lovable and mundane things like will my car break down; or will we be burglarized? These attacks on human kind, and our consciousness, serve as magnifiers of any of our embedded fears.

When these fears affect our relationships they cause trouble. Fears cause stress. Stress can cause edginess. Edginess can cause crabbiness. Crabbiness can cause a nasty tone of voice or other unkindness. Our partners can react defensively and the way we go. We know about that; don't we?

We must remove ourselves from the source of the stress as much as possible. We can keep the idiot box off. Or at least avoid the news.

I believe our {humanities} consciousness, has risen to the point, where these assaults will not divide us. I believe we are committed to love one another.

It would be nice if we didn't have to go through this. Perhaps we don't. It is all part. of the illusion of separateness, we have been indulging in for the past eons. Does it really exist? Well- we have to admit it exist for us, even if it doesn't exist in eternity. But it doesn't have to be so painful.

The forces of darkness are playing themselves out. They cannot win. But, like a spoiled child, they are going to create as big a tantrum as they can before they are sent to bed.

How do we get through this? We go back to the basics. We create paradise from the inside out. First we have to love ourselves. Then we will love all others. Keep in mind that the measure of, how much we love ourselves, is how kind we are to others.

When we are unkind to others, it is because we are being unkind to ourselves. We always attack ourselves first. Pay attention to that, the next time you hurt your partners feelings, ask yourself, how did I attack myself first?

Yes, we are One; but the one will always feel separate, until the one regards their self with love.

We need to regard ourselves as great beings of light. We are integral part of creation. We are part of all that IS. We are inseparable from source. We are Love.

I can feel the Love now. Thank you for listening.

Love and Peace, Gregg
