How To Truly Forgive…

Forgiveness recognizes what you thought your brother did to you has not occurred. a course in miracles

real forgiveness

Someone hurts us in some manner. We then might forgive them for what they’ve done to us. That’s not real forgiveness according to A Course in Miracles. That’s because by forgiving someone we’re saying that there’s something to forgive. A Course in Miracles informs us that we’re dreaming our current ‘reality’. And if that’s the case then the ‘sin’ committed by our brother-in-dream never actually happened. Recognizing that it never occurred is true forgiveness.

God Is Not Dead, She’s Here…

He is not lost … He is right here … Closer than your own breath! Rumi

here

Everyone wants to know where God is. And how to contact her. Some say he’s right here and is ‘closer than your own breath’. What nonsense is this? If she’s right here and ‘closer than our own breath’ then how come we can’t put a finger on that experience?

I’ve wrestled with this dilemma and have found an answer. Our beingness, our very presence, the awareness that we are, which looks out and which experiences all experience, is what is us. This essence is what this quote refers to. This essence is also God expressing itself as us, as this awareness which is our core identity.

What Am I Doing Here?

What I look on is my state of mind, reflected outward. a course in miracles

what i see

What I see and experience is the direct result of my creative mind, the mind which is an offspring of the Divine Mind. This segment of the mind has chosen to express itself as me in this slice of time and space. Why this is so and to what end is debatable. Nevertheless we’re an expression of the divine that is out on its own. Because we’ve somehow chosen to be here and as us, it’s up to us to choose to go back to the Godhead.

Why Is Love Always The Answer?

Fear can never enter in a mind that has attached itself to love. a course in miracles

love is the answer

Fear is our only adversary. It’s the reason we’re never at ease, why we stress, why strife and suffering is rampant everywhere we look. And the only antidote to fear is perfect love. Whenever we can identify with and become love we’re above the entire illusory fray that the world is.

Just Do It, Be It…

You should burn yourself completely. – Suzuki

do it, be it

Have immersive experiences, all of them, any of them! Become the experience. Like they say in Zen, if you’re sitting, just sit. If you’re singing, just sing, become the song. Reminds me of this fine article The Enso Circle.
