PARADISE

Another beautiful day on planet Earth! And I feel it is a beautiful day. I am finally as Sunny on the inside as it is on the outside. I better be careful with my comments because it is clouding up. The Twin Cities are supposed to get rain today, I don't think it is going to rain here. It will be close.

I have to believe that writing those life sketches was a 'good idea'. I hope so. It didn't seem so good to me. It is hard to tell if I was suffering from some pain that I brought up from the past or if it was the pain of the world I was experiencing. The world outside my little cocoon has never been more mad.

I had thought I had put all negative feelings behind me. I believe and still believe that I forgave myself and everyone else. However, I was aware, of a well of sadness, as if I had skipped over the sadness I felt. Perhaps.

If I write any more life sketches they won't be loaded. I have many amusing, light hearted stories.

However, as part of our awakening we need to live in this moment. If past events keep coming back to us it probably means we have more forgiving to do. The past is part of the illusion that we need to give up. Focusing on the past tends to extend the past into the future. We don't want that. Love is here now. NOW! We get out of the illusion by staying in the moment.

What we think of as reality is the illusion we have created individually and collectively with our egos. It is fear based. We are creators. We can have any world we want. We can find the loving being at our center and create from that focus only.

That is what awakening is, it is the realization that the world we see as reality is an illusion and we don't need it. The reality is we are loving beings that can have the world we want. I know I have said that before- I will keep saying it.

We created a mad, mad world from fear thoughts. Let us laugh about it. The joke was on us! Now we can create paradise from our loving thoughts.

I know the hell we can create with our negative thoughts. I should know! I was doing it yesterday. I know I don't need to do it and you don't either. It is no good looking out at the world and waiting for it to change. It won't. We have to change how we see it. We need to start with ourselves. We need to find that place inside, that place of peace where love resides. When all of our life decisions come from that place, we will see a different world opening around us.

We need to clean up our relationship with ourselves. We need to see ourselves as worthy loving beings. We need to rid ourselves of all resentments and grievances. We then will let our love shine.

When we have cleaned up our relationship with ourselves, we can do it with those next to us.

Paradise will blossom!

Hey! It is another Friday. Another day for celebration! Hug the next person you see.

Love and Peace, Gregg
