KNOWING ONENESS

I found an old blog from June 13, 2012 when I was shuffling through some old papers. I don't know why I printed it. It is the only one I have printed. It contained everything I think I know so I was going to re-post it instead of writing a new blog for today. I thought it would be simple but when I post it to Facebook I can't get it to come up. I will have to enlist the aid of one of my tech-savvy children.

So, I haven't been mulling anything around in my head to write about. Folks have heard me say that teachers 'teach what they are trying to learn'. It is true in my case. One of the things I am trying to appreciate is the meaning of Oneness. I don't struggle with it intellectually. It all makes perfect sense. We inhabit bodies that are separate and we have come to believe we are as separate as our bodies seem to be. In truth we are all part of the creative source and each part has the capability of creating its own illusion. So we live in an individual illusion created by our thoughts and share a joint illusion with the whole.

We create with love or fear so it behooves us to hold only loving thoughts in our minds. As we raise our own consciousness we help everyone else raise theirs by the loving energy that emanates from us. When enough of us choose loving thoughts most of the time the group illusion will change from a fearful one to a loving one. The media is not a good witness to the state of the joint illusion as the media is controlled by those who seek wealth and power through fear. Our consensus or joint illusion is much healthier than most of us realize.

So what I am trying to learn: I have been reading that the solution to finding deep peace is knowing our Oneness. As I say I don't have any problem intellectually but I have trouble finding the place through meditation. My sources urge me to spend a short period, at least twice a day, in this knowingness. It is suppose to help greatly in bringing peace or restoring peace to the individual. I think my difficulty is related to my insomnia which began some three months ago. I have been eliminating reasons for my insomnia and I think it relates to a struggle I have accepting life moment by moment as it comes to me. I think I fail to embrace my life with love in the moment. I won't go into details, but I know what I need to work on.

Our problem is always fear that leads to judgement so we can project the problem outward. It is a neat trick but it brings us only misery.

I know our Oneness in my mind. I need to feel it in my heart. I will and so will the rest of you.

Love and Peace, Gregg
