trust what?
Can we trust who we are and whence we came? Can we even begin to believe that we’re made of god-stuff? If we can trust our divine source and upholder then truly there is not a single problem that means anything.
only I
The entirety of our thoughts, beliefs and assumptions is our world. Life and its problems are easily summed up thusly. Our experience of Life is via our thoughts, the mind that we’ve constructed which is the same as ‘I’, the ego. And it’s the Ego, who we think is us, that appears to hurt us. Nothing but our own thoughts is the culprit.
what is, now
Now, truly now, is a place, actually an experience, that’s indescribable. It’s where we, as pure awareness, are simply experiencing what is. We’re not naming what is, or creating word descriptions of it in our minds. We’re just ‘knowing’, and eventually ‘being’ what is.
oneness
God encompasses it all in his beingness. And we share this same beingness. When we just are, just being, that’s God-likeness. It’s an experience, that can only be experienced and cannot be verbalized or conceptualized. This experience is that of oneness. God is, period.
source
For a reason lost to antiquity we’ve forgotten from whence we came. Apparently it was our decision to do so, which is why God cannot force herself into our consciousness. We must decide to go back by demolishing the barriers we’ve created between us and God. Prayer and genuine effort at reconciliation goes a long way.
our only love
We’re seeking ultimate satisfaction. We cry for love and crave for attention. We want to be heard and to matter. No earthly goal or desire has yet been able to deliver, and never will. That’s because we seek ultimate satisfaction and fulfillment. Only realization of ultimate reality will do the trick. If we’re not clear about what we seek, we’ll never be satisfied, happy or fulfilled.
it’s all helpful
What does ‘are helpful’ mean here? From the perspective of A Course in Miracles, everything in our life experience is pushing us to awaken from the dream of this existence. And what’s pushing us is our own soul-level choosing. Nothing that’s happening to us is not of our own choosing. All that appears to be happening to us is helpful and is gently (mostly) guiding us to awaken.
