Friday, I mentioned that I would talk about relationships, today. That is a huge subject and I know so little and yet so much. We are all in relationships all the time. I don't know that there is, such a person, as an expert on relationships. Some folks see a little more, and I am not sure one can guess who, according to profession. Writers, such as novelist and playwrights, may head the list.
I want to accomplish two things today. I would like to give a brief overview of the ego and I would like to point out that relationships are under stress during this period of adjustment.
As we have discussed before the ego is not inherently a bad thing. We created it as part of our body experience. When we first found ourselves separate from each other, in these strange bodies, we felt vulnerable. We still knew we were One and we still had connection with Source. Yet, encapsulated in these bodies, we felt we needed some warning system to alert us of danger. We made our egos to give us a sharpened sense of our separate bodies and to be alert to anything that could threaten the body. As long as we knew our Oneness with each other and Source, the ego had a valuable function.
To make a very long story short; we gradually sunk deeper in to density and lost our connection with each other and Source. With separation fear entered in. The ego interprets fear as a need for greater protection and increases the mechanisms of separation. Of course, a related story, is how a handful of people learned how to use the ego's, propensity for fear, for control.
Thus the ego began as a protection, because of our separation, and it ended as a cause of our separation.
The ego has become a tyrant. It has become identified [ in our minds] with who we are. In order to protect itself it guards against any danger that we might see ourselves as One. This little tiny part of us acts like it is all of us. It is jealous of what it sees as its identity and fights to maintain it. The ego {with great help from our controllers} has developed a range of mechanisms to maintain separation. I will mention what comes to my mind, other folks may think of other things: competitiveness, self-aggrandizement, defensiveness, belief in higher and lower, greed, prejudice, domination, inequality, ingratiation, up putting and down putting of all kinds, etc. We could go on and on. The ego uses anything it can to give us a sense of separation from each other and Source.
We are at a time when Love is flowing abundantly on Earth. Not all of us are aware of it yet. Still it is enough that our egos feel threatened. That tiny part of us that has become comfortable with control thinks it is, all of us. When we attempt to grow and decide to give up the dominance of the ego, it rebels, it feels threatened with extinguishment. It makes us hypersensitive to threats from others.
All through the ages, folks who wanted to grow spiritually, had to deal with their egos. This certainly in not a new thing and literature is replete with examples. Now, however, the love that encompasses the world invites all of us to put aside our egos. The strife occurs for two reasons: one; the urge to grow, that has laid dormant in some, has begun to express itself and folks that were before, willing to put up with a smothering or limiting relationship, are reaching for something more. Two; folks in relationships, that are growing, are suddenly finding themselves in heightened conflict because their egos are panicked. Their ego's know their time of control is limited and they attempt to flood the mind with panic that is connected with whichever ego attribute is triggered.
What can we do? First have faith that this period of chaos will be short lived. We need to look at ourselves and honestly assess what ego attributes we are hanging on to. Why can't we keep our mouths shut when one of our buttons are pushed? Do we still need that button? What would happen if we didn't react when our spouse, friend, relative said something we found offensive?
During this time we are going to find ourselves ego involved in one way or another. We can become sensitive to it and be wary of any off-beat behavior we might be expressing. It would be nice if we all had a light that lit up on our foreheads when we were ego involved. Since ego involvement is a gradient thing [we are always somewhat influenced by ego] the light could intensify with the ego involvement. When the light was shining bright folks could say, "We better ignore him until the light dims". Likewise, it would be nice if we had our own internal light that would warn us when we are about to be crazy.
You know what? We already do. We know perfectly well when we are being nuts and we generally see it in others. But in that moment we don't care. Ego triggers ego. We may know perfectly well our spouse is having a bad time, but they may say something that we just can't pass up, and away we go. Action and reaction, when the ego light is on, is insane. It is amazing how two credible people can be in an ongoing fight that essentially is about who will quit first or who started it.
We will learn not to do this. Our egos will drag us through a lot of dreck if we allow them. We can think of our egos as terrified and spoiled little children; threatened by everything and wanting to control everything. We can help them grow up. When we feel our ego light come on [don't deny it-you know when it happens] we can tell ourselves lovingly, that everything is okay, we are not abandoned, we are loved. We can do that a thousand times a day if necessary. We don't need to react when poked. We can become aware of our own poking. We are learning. We are growing. Interpersonal discord will become a memory soon. First it will just be funny and then we will give it up completely.
Egos are a source of great amusement and when we can laugh at ourselves; really great belly laughs we will be healing.
We are constantly in relationship. It is a kaleidoscope. Even when we are alone we are in relationship. With our memories, with intimates who are temporarily not there, with ourselves; most of these relationships, regardless of the strife, are growing and enriching. We are in a time when we must realize we are responsible for our own growth. It is not helpful to maintain relationships in which we feel hurt, poisoned or undermined. If a relationship oozes negativity, why would we do it? We need to love everybody. In some situations it is easier to love from afar that it is up close. When we find ourselves in that kind of situation, know that you can't help them, if you can't love them up close.
The light is getting very intense. We are being forced to give up our craziness. Any hidden beliefs we have in darkness will cause us pain until confronted and melted away. Be wary of those ego lights, yours and others, we will make it through this period just fine. Paradise beckons.
Love and Peace, Gregg

BACK TO THE BASICS
It suppose to get down to 33 degrees tonight with widely scattered frost. Autumn has arrived. I think it is a human condition not to feel ready for it; but this year folks seem especially unready. Of course, I am basing this on just a few comments I hear; for myself, time has been going so fast, it is a blur.
The infrastructure of the old world is collapsing. The banks are insolvent, the stock market makes no sense at all. Although, the banks are making more money than they ever have before, they cannot make up for the bad debt that lies in their vaults, e.g. credit default swaps etc. The average worker makes less than she/he did during the 70s when corrected for inflation. The so-called recovery does not exist. Only, the rich have become richer.
Nobody can stop the New World, created by love, from emerging. It will arrive in stages. We will be surprised by the sudden sense of world peace as the existing skirmishes shut down. A new banking system will be in operation, soon, based on precious metals. This will be a temporary fix. Our whole relationship with money will change and soon, we will realize we don't need it. New energy sources will relieve us from our dependence on fossil fuels. There are many devices in development that use so called "free energy". There will, no longer, be the buying and selling of energy. Exploitation of the Earth will come to an end. Folks will recognize the equality and worthiness of everyone.
In the years to come, we will rethink everything we thought we knew. Education, healthcare, transportation etc. will all be changed. Most of what we have done has been based on false premises of who we are and what is our purpose. As we learn our true history and get a better sense of who we are, we will modify or completely replace, our existing institutions.
Things will look a little chaotic for awhile. Those, who would have enslaved us, have indoctrinated us with many, many fears and many false beliefs. We have much unlearning to do. The consensus illusion, we created [what we thought of as reality] is insane. It has little connection with the reality, that we create as a heart expression. The reality we create as part of Source.
To get through this short, chaotic, re-adjustment period, we need to get back to the basics. Over the last several years, we have learned to appreciate how our perception decides our experience. How we think and feel determines what we see. We are the creators of our individual experience and we create the world, we see jointly, with our neighbors.
The basics are: we are creators; we create with the energy of love or we create with fear; we create by having thoughts and then giving them the energy of our feelings; we are One- what we feel or do effects everyone; there is only now. I am sure the reader could add to this list but this is a solid beginning.
The chaos will not affect us if we can stick to the basics. We don't need to allow fear in our minds. We need to be alert to what enters our mind and give fear the bum's rush when it appears. We need to convince ourselves that worry has no value. Worry, as an aspect of fear, is a tricky companion. Worry tries to trick us into thinking it is responsibility. Worry plays into our superstitious natures, "what we worry about won't happen". Don't let worry dress itself up as something respectable. It never is.
But we can't fight fear. We can only choose not to be afraid. The best way to eschew fear is to open up to love. If we constantly remind ourselves we are love, fear will have difficulty taking hold. Love is easy. Love is enriching. Love is natural. We can practice bringing our love to the surface. When we see someone, we can intentionally look at them with love. It might help to say to ourselves, "I love you". When our friend, neighbor, relative or stranger feels the beam of love, they can't help but light up. Your smile at someone in the grocery store may go around the world.
We need to love ourselves. We are not little love machines in isolation. We are 'one' with each other and one with 'Source'. The love, we beam out at the person in the grocery store, is the Love of Source. All is One.
Those of us who have learned to meditate have probably found that place of quiet and felt the love of the universe. It doesn't have to be a formal meditation. It can be just a period of suspension of usual thought, a quieting of the noise in the mind, a period of deep peace. We can have this experience washing dishes or weeding the garden. We need to find a way, to periodically drop into a peaceful place, where we can feel the flood of love emanating from the universe. We can talk to our higher self [or if it fits with our belief- talk to God] It helps to talk things over with ourselves when we are in quiet place of love. We all have guidance. Our actions can come from a deep place of being.
Many folks will will need our help. When we come from a place of peace and love our help will be effective.
On Monday, I would like to talk about relationships.

STRANGE DAY
Summer lost its grip overnight. It was warm yesterday, upper to middle 70sF, then a storm system came in. It looked very foreboding but a major storm did not materialize. From late afternoon until Midnight, the weather threatened but nothing happened. It didn't start getting cold until late evening and it finally began to rain about midnight. Overnight it rained about an inch. It hasn't warmed up. It is 50F at 3:40PM.
Yes, 3:40PM and I am just starting to blog. Things kept happening to slow me down. I have a little over an hour until I need to do my afternoon chores. Do I have anything to say?
Our old world appears on the edge of collapse. The cabal is filling the mainstream media with war cries. They keep claiming the Russians have made incursions into Ukraine but they have not a shred of evidence. Meanwhile, Putin seems to be making real progress in bringing peace to the area. Every country the U.S. has meddled with, is in chaos; Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Syria. That is only the countries where we meddled majorly. There are many other countries that have been thrown into chaos, like the Ukraine, where our meddling was more hidden from the average observer. The Ukraine government would have never been overthrown if it wasn't for U. S. interference.
I use the label U.S. I don't think my friends and neighbors support this behavior. I don't think even a majority of government officials support this military adventurism. How does it happen? How does a relatively small military/industrial complex dictate to the government what they are going to do with their troops? These are innocent people, on both sides, that die and suffer without ever knowing why. I think it is dawning on folks that we are not fighting for our country. That is why I refer to those who manipulate us into warlike behavior, the Cabal. This power group does not originate in the U.S. We just provide the military force that they use in their enslavement of the world. These people, who have habitually garnered all power and wealth to themselves, have been orchestrating war and strife for thousands of years for their own benefit. They have no loyalty to any country or group. They use the fear and prejudices of the people to maintain control.
I wouldn't even mention it if there wasn't so much negative energy coming from the media right now. It gets to one. I don't even see television news. I do read a news magazine and look at the paper every day. I wouldn't even mention it because I know it is over. The old order is crumbling. The Cabal is in a frenzy trying to whip up a war. The people are not buying. Despite what we may read/hear in the media people are not being swayed. How many people do you know who support the war mentality?
The people of the world have decided they want no more war. War has never decided a conflict. They only produce more war down the line. Without interference of the war mongers, we can manage all conflicts and arrive at resolutions without killing.
I preach that we should never focus on the negative. Should I erase what I have just written to avoid creating negative feelings? It is kind of a tightrope walk. We need to be aware of what is going on without responding to it emotionally. We increase what we focus on. We need to have the courage to see the truth without reacting negatively to it. We can acknowledge the awfulness and then focus our minds on the love that is everywhere. And the love is everywhere.
If we can keep our minds out of the dreck we will see what an absolutely gorgeous world we live in. And it is a beautiful world, peopled by wonderful loving beings, that just want to live and let live, and love and let love. All we need to do is focus on the love around us. It is growing. The old world is passing.
It is almost five and I need to do my chores. Keep beaming your light. I have a feeling I had my shade a little drawn when I first started this blog. I apologize. It helps to write. Let us shine our light together and wash away the dark.

HAPPINESS
Do most of us really understand happiness? Do we ever find ourselves hanging on to something we think we should be unsatisfied with? Don't we sometimes postpone being happy until something gets resolved?
Whatever the current conditions in our lives, it has little to do with happiness. If we observe ourselves, we will find that we turn on happiness like a switch. We can go to place to place and turn our mood from sour to bright like a chameleon turning colors. I can be in a rather somber mood and guests come over and I light up like a Christmas tree. Likewise, I have found myself lighting up when I go into one of the stores we frequent.
I have experimented enough to realize this brightening up is voluntary. It is under my control. It is not the outside conditions that determine when we throw the happiness switch. Happiness seems to be a minute by minute decision we make.
Yet, sometimes we seem to prefer to wallow in our unhappiness; interesting. Just this Morning I was grossing about something, in my mind, and I caught myself feeling, that the situation had to rectify itself, before I would be happy. Fortunately, the time was measured in seconds rather than minutes or hours. But I have known people that seemed to wallow in misery for months when they could have merely decided it wasn't necessary to be unhappy.
Our materialistic culture encourages us to forgo happiness until we attain certain goods or parameters. We sometimes go through life chasing a carrot on a stick. We can't quite relax into happiness until some desire is fulfilled.
What would happen in the World, if everybody decided to be happy right now? Can we imagine how intensely it would light up? Light and love would wash away every worry in the world, right now. We are all beacons of light. We can pull our shades down or let them up. When we let our shades up and let our light beam out, we brighten those around us. The light multiplies as the shades go up and folks let their light beam out.
It all begins with us. How would we know if paradise were here if we are wallowing around in some dreck? If we had our shade pulled down we wouldn't be able to see. Yes, it is all inside us. All knowledge. All experience. We Are and we are One. Paradise is in each one of us and all of us. Find the switch. Turn on the light. Raise the shade. Let us out picture our dreams. Let paradise unfold.

UPS AND DOWNS
I know. I know. This journey is tiring. Sometimes we get discouraged. We think we are getting it together then, someone close to us hurts our feelings, and we have a tantrum. Or we are the person hurting someone's feelings, because we are impatient or careless. Sometimes we find ourselves irritated and depressed for no discernible reason. It seems like we have a myriad ways of defeating ourselves. We have grown enough now, that we can experience times when we feel really together. We get a glimpse, of what it would be like, to always be peaceful; to always be happy. This makes the backward sliding times more distressful, as we know it is unnecessary.
But, perhaps, it is necessary. Our egos don't want to give up control. Our growth scares everything our egos stand for: competitiveness; higher and lower; dominance; separation; division; fears and judgements of every kind; etc. These traits are deeply imbedded in the best of us. Our egos take us on a carnival ride of craziness attempting to stay in control.
The good news, our egos are losing out. They can't stand up to the love that we are opening ourselves to. It is painful, but it only seems like we are going backward. We can't go backward. We made an intent to go grow. We can only go forward. Everything is learning. All experience will lead to more growth.
When we are having a downer, it is time to review the basics. We are the creators. What are we focusing on? What are our thoughts? Are we wallowing in a sea of crap? We only explore these dark places because we have accepted the invitation of our ego. Every time we do it, we learn not to do it. There will be a last time.
The global ego, the world that is passing, is inundating us with negativity, as it fades away. As our individual egos, it doesn't want to give up without a fight. The global ego uses the media in hope of perpetuating the craziness. If we are not careful, the vibrations emanating from the mainstream media wears us down.
As I said; back to the basics. We increase what we focus on. Let us not pay attention to the negativity coming from the media. We are well practiced, by now, in catching ourselves having negative thoughts. They can be subtle and we can be well engrossed in a thought process before we realize the negativity. Let us renew our efforts to think positively, or better yet, have the peace of no thought.
Peace is basic to all we want; love, happiness, joy, intimacy, oneness, etc. Peace originates with us. We can't fight for peace. We can't confront for peace. We can't argue for peace. We can't do anything for peace. We can be peaceful. When our being is peaceful, our doing will promote peace.
We will bring peace to the world by learning to be peaceful. We all have that peaceful place inside us. We will learn to extend it to the world. Let's do it now. Let's sink into that peaceful place inside and bless the world.
Most of all, let us reassure ourselves that we cannot lose. We have succeeded. Love has eclipsed the dark. Be confident that it will soon be clear. Peace is descending on the Earth. Let us hold our light high, so all can see.

FINDING OURSELVES
So much of this journey is finding who we are. We know we are not meant to be subject to any one else, either their person, or ideas. Religion was not able to help much, as it encouraged our subjection to its own organization and the powerful in general. We have been made servants or slaves to the powerful and we have been discouraged to think for ourselves.
We need to give up all these preconceived ideas that were foisted on us from outside us. We are one with our Creator. That means we have all the knowledge that the Creator gave us. We only need to look inside us to know the truth of anything. As part of Source, we are of Everything. Source is Love, so we can only be love. We have been carefully taught to look outside ourselves for guidance and validation; that is a recipe for slavery. Truth, love and validation can only be found inside.
It is good to reach a point where we recognize we know nothing. Nothing! Nothing, we think of as knowledge, can be trusted. We know only one thing, we are Love. If our Creator, Our Source, is Love, then we are too.
The chaos we see around us, was made from our belief in separation from Source. Because we are creators we made a very convincing world of anti-love. Because we are, also, loving children of Source, we could not make a world completely separated. Even in the darkest eras of the illusion, love showed itself. Our Source would never abandon us; however, we did our best to abandon Source.
We are at a point in our journey when we can evaluate, what is true or not true, by immersing ourselves in our own being. We can bring an idea into our mind and turn it over. Does it feel like love? Does it enhance our feeling of oneness? Is the result of accepting this idea, love?
We are one with Everything. We are one with the Earth [Gaia] and one with Source [God]. It is not, an either or, situation. There is no division. We are like great trees with our roots wrapped around the Earth and our branches in heaven.
Let us go inward and search for ourselves. Let us find that place. That place of silence. That place of infinite creation. That place of unconditional love. That place of perpetual peace. It is there. It is the place where we know our Oneness. The place where we expand to cover Heaven and Earth. When we look at the world, from that place inside, we see the reality of love. The illusion of separation drops away.
No longer will we harbor ideas of limitation. We are great beings of light. Any thoughts, feelings, attitudes to the contrary are part of the illusion. We will let the illusion drop away. We know we are free. We will bask in the Love of our Creator. We will bask in the Love of each other. We have a universe to explore.
Love and Peace, Gregg

THE BEST LAID SCHEMES........................
The best laid schemes o' Mice and Men, Gang aft a'gley. Yup, Robert Burns was right, we didn't make it to the Fair Friday. It was pouring rain and the forecast didn't show much promise that it would get better. We went out to a neighboring town [Princeton], had a good brunch and visited the Rock Shop. We all bought a piece of the Earth from somewhere. I bought a stone of lapis lazuli. I have heard of it all my life and have never seen any offered in a rock shop. An interesting little blue stone to go with our other interesting stones.
We couldn't go to the Fair on Saturday or Sunday because Naomi had to work. So, we are going today. It rained again last night, an inch and one half, but this time the forecast is for Sunny weather for most of the day.
I don't have anything to say that I haven't said many times. These are difficult times if we pay any attention to the mainstream media. The Cabal is desperate to whip up a war and the news of the world is very untrustworthy. On many fronts; climate, disease, national and world strife, the cabal, through the media, is attempting to create fear. We are best off ignoring the the mainstream media. It is possible to find trustworthy news on the internet, but it takes a lot of searching through dreck. Whatever we do it is important we don't scare ourselves.
This period won't last and we will get through it all right. We are on the verge of a new world. The light has eclipsed the dark. Soon the dark will be only a memory. It will be easier to get through this period if we remember a few things. Look for light and love in everything. Remember all of us are needed to intensify the light. Know that we are creators, and as such, we increase what we focus on. When we find ourselves focusing on a dark issue, we can say to ourselves, "these are not my thoughts" and switch our thoughts to something loving. With practice we can keep our mind out of the gutter of fear thoughts.
I need to cut this short as I have dishes to do, and a few other chores, before we head for the fair. Let us keep blessing the world and holding our light high for all to see.
Happy Labor Day!
Love and Peace, Gregg
