WORKING ON SELF

It is cool here, but Sunny, it is a beautiful day on this part of planet Earth. I have had some reservations about writing Wednesday's blog. Did I really need to share all that detail? A little too much micturition?

When I was living through the drama, with my feverish mind, I kept going through the story in my head. Well it is done! As of yesterday, I have had no fever. I am dealing with a side effect of the medication, but I won't bore the reader with that.

I know I learned a great deal from this experience. It is a little too early to sum it up. It is difficult letting go and letting other people tend to chores. No matter how sick I was, I had to do go out, and get the eggs, or some little thing. I don't think we realize, how controlling we are, in our day to day functioning. Little things that don't really matter. Jamie has been doing the [MY] dishes. Whenever, I say my dishes, she corrects me; but it is my job. We all do things a little different. How much do we have invested in thinking our way is the best way?

This is not just, little things. We, also. Make judgements about others' life paths. We find something that works for us and we think others should adopt it. Of course we should share, what works for us, but we must not have the temerity to believe it fits for another. We must, let everybody be free, to make their own choices without pressure from us. Everybody is going the right way, like iron filings to a magnet, they cannot fail to reach the goal of Oneness with all. We don't know what the other sees. We don't know what makes them back-track sometimes. We can't know, what they need to learn, in order to continue forward. It may take them a much longer time; is that any of our business?

Note that the Great Ones never imposed their teachings on anyone. The people, we recognize as great spiritual teachers today, never try to fix anybody else. They recognize, they can only work on themselves and they may, share with others, what they are learning. It does no good meddling in some one else's life without invitation.

We all have, so much to do with ourselves, to prepare for awakening. It is going to happen, with or without us. The people of the Earth, as a group, have decided to wake up from their slumber and put behind them, this painful world of separation and judgement. Every time, one of us wakes up, and sees that we don't need to be crazy; the love increases for everyone. We need to remove, from ourselves, all judgement, all pettiness; you know, our willingness to focus on the ego struggle of our neighbor, rather than look past it, to the love at the center. We know it is there! Do we think seeing our neighbors faults makes us better? Hey we have been doing that for thousands of years- let's knock it off. And let us not find fault in ourselves either, it doesn't help. Let us just recognize, what we think as faults, and let our judgement go. We are works in process, we are all love at our center. If we just focus, on the love that surrounds us, and ignore the rest, we will be ready for the awakening.

The world that is, is passing away, it is crumbling; the greed, money, corruption, lust for power etc. is passe. It can't continue. Those involved in those behaviors will turn toward the light or they will need to be separated, so they are no harm to the rest of us.

Let us remove ourselves from, what we think we see, in the world. It is a clown car; but it ceases to be funny. I don't think observing it has entertainment value anymore. I guess I do get a chuckle out of it occasionally. I don't want the intensity of the craziness to contaminate my life.

Paradise is in us. Let's let it out! It is a great burst of light!

Happy Friday folks! Hold your Light high!

Love and Peace, Gregg
