A chance encounter

Heart beating through his chest, he gathered up the nerve to tell her, to let her know how he feels and to ask her out on a date. 

He pushed his way past fear, grabbed a folding chair on the way toward his unknown destiny, turned it backwards and straddled it...right next to the chair she was sitting in!

He said, startling her, "You don't know me, but I've been watching you and I like you. I don't normally do this but I'd like to take you out to eat one day, you don't have to give me an answer right now but just know I'll be back for one!" And just like that, he was gone!

Fast forward almost thirty years later, their friendship is dangling by a hairline thread. The details of how it got to this condition is not as nearly as important as what is keeping that thread from popping!

Everything in life happens for a reason yet unless and until that reason is first realized then understood, the lesson it came to teach will go unrecognized and the whole point, missed. 

Because there is a reason for everything, every opportunity made available is taken however acceptance/willingness/openness must be  offered for the lesson to be received and understood. 

Only from this point is the gift of Knowlege recognized. Recognize is appropriate here as opposed to  conceptualize because Truth stands on its own - words are not necessary where Truth is concerned. 

When acceptance/willingness/openness is offered in replace of fear, in ALL its clever disguises, Truth is clearly visible in the midst of what may seem like a hopeless case. 

The only Truth is LOVE - changeless, endless, fearless and priceless. Its value can never be measured because it is not of this world and neither are we. 

We are ONE. A reencounter is called for here considering nothing happens by chance. What is meant to be already is and that's LOVE. 

Realize it then embody it for that is the purpose of LOVE which takes no chances, it just Knows. Peace 

 

Reflection

It's time we (the entire human race),  remember Who we are. We remind ourselves and others on a daily basis, of who we're not but because confusion is the result of being lost to Truth and fear, always the motivating factor, the senselessness we see is merely a reflection of fear.

The lesson in each and every situation is always the same - there is nothing to fear. The words may sound familiar because they just point in the direction to where the experience is had. The experience comes only from remembering Truth. 

Truth is LOVE. And the Truth about Who we (the entire human race) are, is LOVE. We have forgotten that. You see, LOVE is not taught. LOVE is recognized when it sees its reflection. Only LOVE is able to recognize its reflection, primarily because LOVE is ALL there is. Secondly because everything else is fear in disguise and that explains why there is  nothing to fear.

Remember who you are, LOVE, then remind others of Who they are. This is done (effectively) by simply BEing LOVE and you'll see your reflection each and every time. Peace

 

 

 

Have it your way!

The fact that we (the entire human race), are creative beings explains the historic moments in Time that reflect both the most horrific acts of violence known to man as well as the most beautiful acts of Love which by the way is always found in giving.   

 

Because the True essence of who we really are has been forgotten, the True meaning of giving has been misinterpreted. Unless and until we awaken to Truth, giving will continue to be approached with hesitation because ego, selfish and insecure, insists there be something to receive before giving.

 

When we remember who we really are, LOVE, the idea that someone can give us something will be seen for the nothingness it really is. Because LOVE is everything, there is nothing LOVE needs/wants to just be. Because LOVE is not of this world, it is  changeless, meaning  LOVE can not be taken away, broken, hurt, betrayed, etc. LOVE just gives by actions reflective of itself. 

 

Actions are reflective of who is guiding the mind. When ego is running the show, life is lived in fear and we see (on a daily basis) what fear looks like in action. When in fear, there is no time to think and that is precisely where error is made. Ego uses fear as a distraction from Truth, makes up another version of Truth with lies and convinces you it's there for your protection but you must never look Truth square in the face!

 

Unless and until we (the entire human race) are willing to look Truth square in the face, fear, in all of its impressive disguises, will continue to seem to steer us farther and farther away  from Truth. Even this is irrelevant considering what is real can not be threatened. The one answer to ALL questions, situations, concerns,  doubts,  worries, etc., is and has always been the silent voice within. 

 

One must be still in order to experience it. It has no voice and so can't be heard however the knowing that makes itself present leaves no room for question, doubt, confusion, etc. It is called  Peace. The universe works for not against us and when we remember who we really are, LOVE, giving will come freely and so will the blessings. Peace

 

 

Nothing Real Can Be Threatened

The moment Truth is forgotten, confusion comes about considering what is not True is made up which explains why it makes no sense. Because Authenticity, Transparency and Consistency come from Truth, they are often regarded as rare and so admired however because these characteristics come from Humility, there is no place for ego.

 

Because ego lives in the Past, from its perspective, the Future is no different from the Past which is why it offers no Hope. Hope is not found in the Past, Hope is for the Future but Real change begins in the mind. Unless and until Truth (we, the entire human race are one and the same)  is remembered for what it is, (LOVE), the senselessness - that which is taught - will continue to divide through hostility, insisting the "fight" must continue.

 

Truth never changes, EVER, but fear takes over when Truth is forgotten and what goes hand in hand with fear is attack. Attack is never justified, because there is never a reason for fear however whenever Truth is not recognized, fear sets in and ego takes over using attack (in any/ALL forms) as protection. Ego then justifies because ego will never admit to making a wrong choice without blaming someone/thing else first.

Truth is recognized in stillness, in awareness, in the Present moment. Ego detests the Present moment because it needs conflict and drama to maintain its existence which doesn't last in stillness and/or Present moment awareness, at least not for very long.

Choose to remember that which you already Know but just forgot, LOVE.  Only LOVE is  Real and for this reason alone, there is no need to fear. Peace

 

 

Don't go there!!

Hostility is the result of a Past situation that did not end well, has not been forgotten and so has not been forgiven. Hostility seems to be at a higher than "normal" level these last few months and its reflection is both blind and ugly. Blind in the sense that the light of Truth (Knowledge) is absent which explains the nonsense and confusion considering what is made up in the dark (fear) is where vision is lost. Ugly in the sense that attack is seen as the only justifiable form of protection when the Truth about Who You Really are has been forgotten and ego behaves like a monster.

 

Intent is always behind the reason for going back to the Past because a choice must be made. When Present and awake in the moment, the reason for going back to the Past is to recall a pleasant memory, to remember valuable information and/or to learn from what that situation brought to teach so to not repeat it. When the Truth about Who You Really are is lost to you, it doesn't change because you forgot -what is Real does not change however the fact that you forgot is where the problem (fear) begins.

 

Fear doesn't wait for you to decide whether or not to go back to the Past. Because ego lives in Past, ego uses fear, its trusty tool, to do any/everything to drag you back to the Past and keep you in the Past. Because ego lives in the Past, it remembers every minor indiscretion done by both you and anyone else. Because ego has no loyalty, it will torture you with guilt and/or shame from what you refuse to let go of and ego will use every opportunity possible to remind you of what another did "to" you but not only you. All to start and/or maintain conflict and drama...how petty! 

 

Choose to remember Who You Really are (LOVE), so the Truth about why things are the way they are will shine light on what is made up and makes no sense, yet is the cause for this division and suffering. Peace is offered with LOVE and Healing is accepted the result. We need Healing - not more hostility. If you agree, please do your part and share this message. Peace

 

 

 

 

Count it ALL Joy...

Because the whole point of Life is to experience it, when this is forgotten, Suffering becomes an issue. Pain is a part of Life and when this is remembered, the opportunity to understand the reason for it becomes visible. It is only from this point that Clarity offers to do away with ALL confusion which is one of the main agents of Suffering. 

Clarity offers what brings Peace however a decision to accept must be made first or Denial will keep Fear in place. Because Fear is of Ego, the unknown (anything/one that is "different/foreign") is considered a threat. Fear never needs a reason to attack and because Fear lives in the dark (absence of light/Truth) it sees what is not there and believes that to be True. 

The key to avoid Suffering is to remember the Truth about Who You Really are. Because Pain is a part of the experience of Life here on earth, it, like everything else on earth, is temporary. Although it can not be avoided altogether,  the extent to how often it's experienced and the duration of its stay depends on the state of mind. Decisions made in Fear end in Suffering.

Decisions made from Knowledge/Truth are not bias because there is no personal gain or interest (that is Ego's department) and so brings or keeps Peace. Remember Who You Really are (LOVE), and ALL of what you've gone through will be seen as the blessings they Really are. It is only from this point will Joy be experienced (no matter how briefly). Because Joy is a state of BEing, like LOVE, count it ALL Joy because  you're still here so use your mind/energy to make it worth the journey for both you and everyone around you. Peace

 

Remember...

In order to remind others of Who they Really are, I must be able to first see them as they Really are. I can only see them as they Really are by remembering Who I Really am, LOVE. Peace

REAL change begins in the mind.

The fact that we (the entire human race) are ONE and the SAME {Spirit, Energy, LOVE}, seems to be the one thing we refuse to fully accept as Truth. 

Evidence of this is reported on the Daily and Nightly News and more commonly broadcasted live on social media. Those representing this country, those put in place to protect their community, all the way to the core unit (family), show this fact has been forgotten. In spite of how grim the threat of how the future may look right now, it does not change that fact because facts do not change.

Fear is at its peak which explains the confusion that only intensifies hostile situations and too often ends  tragically in senselessness. Shame and Regret are often the welcoming  committee once the light of Truth shines on what Fear keeps hidden.

Because Ego can never face Truth, it uses Denial as protection against what is clearly visible. Considering Ego will never accept Truth, it makes up its own version of what Truth should besing Fear, convinces all that have forgotten Truth that ATTACK is the only form of defense which maintains the chaos and conflict witnessed today. 

In order for REAL change to take place and make a positive difference in this world, this one thing must be realized; unless and until we remember  Who we  Really are, LOVE, the madness will continue (to no end) and because it make  no sense, for no good reason. 

It's time to wake up! Get your mind right. Peace
