PERCEPTION AND ILLUSION

The beauty exploding out my studio window is beyond belief, the lushness, the intense green. I wish I was a poet. One drawback: I glance at my indoor/outdoor thermometer, Outside 88.9, Inside 74.5. I never particular liked using air conditioning, but in this house and in my present condition, I am very grateful for it.

I am much better psychologically since I recognized that I needed to quit perseverating on the future, in one aspect of my life, in which I have no control anyway. I have more to do, but just recognizing the situation helps immensely. I hope to share more about this in the future.

So many of us are able to keep our spirits high, smile laugh and enjoy life. It is quite amazing when we can pull up another shade and see nothing but chaos. If we pull up another shade we see clearly that those in charge are stark raving lunatics. Does it occur to us that we don't need to pull up those shades?

Ah............... Perception and Illusion.

It was taught by ancient philosophers that every thing we think of as solid was energy held in form by our perception. Our thoughts shaped energy into form. Modern science [quantum physics] appears to agree.

Many of us on our various spiritual paths have accepted this as true.

It just takes a little assessment of our own lives to realize our darkness increases when we focus on it.

If we create reality with our perception, the solution is simple and elegant. Only hold in our mind what we want to see. Let us help ourselves by raising the shades on the windows that bless us with golden light.

I know all the difficulties that arise after making the intent. The forces for separation are powerful indeed. We have a Loving Universe behind us. We cannot fail.

I wish I could put names on those ancient Greek philosophers. I think I read the whole Mentor series on philosophy, mostly while standing guard duty in the Air Force. That was 64 or 65 yeas ago. I didn't think I would ever be writing a blog and want to remember.

More and more people are choosing not to look into the darkness. When we choose to look only at the light we become beacons and aid everyone. We are changing the world.

And so goes The Awakening!

Happy Friday everyone! Celebrate the light!

Love and Peace, Gregg
