Hello world. The following was written 6/2/2016.
It is official! Facebook kills brain cells. In scrolling through today’s posts I have witnessed death, dismemberment, cruelty, suicides, flag burning, shootings, protests, protesters getting beaten, protesters beating people, destruction of property, name calling, racism, bigotry, and the list goes on and on.
Intermixed within all these were the varied posts of kittens and puppies and brothers sharing someone else’s ideas and concepts of what they believe is real or Truth. Not once have I seen anyone step out and share where they are on their journey. Not once have I seen anyone post anything healing and loving they have experienced for themselves.
Why are we so afraid to speak our Truth? Why are we so afraid of what someone may think about what we share? When do we stop fearing our own shadows? When will we recognize these judgments being handed out like candy are valueless? They have no bases in Truth, yet we base our entire lives on them. We base our every move on what someone else thinks and believes to be true.
The answer I am getting is we fear ourselves. We fear thinking for ourselves. We fear accepting responsibility for own choices and decisions to believe as we do. We are the ones creating the Hell we are experiencing. We are the ones choosing to judge every experience we have as something other than what it is. No one does this for us. We are the ones who get to choose and we are the ones making those choices. We are and have always been the responsible party.
When we reach a point of accepting this fact about ourselves, we will begin to witness this Truth. In witnessing it, we will be given a chance to choose again and choose differently this time. As we choose again and begin to heal ourselves, the world around us will begin to reflect this change as well. In healing ourselves we heal the world. In saving ourselves we save the world.
ACIM asks, “How many Teacher’s of God does it take to save or change the world?” The answer is and has always been ONE. When you change your mind about your self you also change your mind about the world and it changes with you.
Blessings on your journeys my brothers. Hugs and love. You are loved. I love you.
