Hello world. The following was written 6/3/2014.
Circumstances do not matter. Only State of Being matters. The choice of reacting or not reacting is up to me. No one and nothing can give me peace. I can only find peace within myself. When I stop looking with my Ego eyes, I will stop reacting. Only then, when I no longer judge anyone or anything as being good or bad, will I know a peace as great as the Grace of my Father. For this is what my Father wants for me. He wants me to be happy and joyful. He wants me to be at peace within myself and the world around me.
The Holy Spirit tells me the choice in all of this is mine and mine alone. What I resist persists. I judge in others what I do not like about or within myself. When I judge another I judge myself. Once again the choice is mine. Continue to look with my Ego, fear and guilt or look with the Holy Spirit with love, appreciation and gratitude.
Each interaction is an opportunity to forgive, observe, and love. It is my chance to choose again. No one and nothing ever happens without a reason or lesson to be learned. All are opportunities to choose again. Will I react? Will I observe? Will I forgive? Will I love? Will I choose differently this time? If this is what I truly want, then I will let go of my Egoistic mind and allow myself to be guided instead by the Holy Spirit. In choosing the Holy Spirit I am choosing again. I am choosing to look at and observe the world around me and those in it without judgments. I am choosing to look at and observe the world around me and those in it with only love, gratitude, and appreciation in my heart. I will continue to choose again.
What I seek with my judgments, I manifest without me. When I look with my Ego thoughts, I create the hell I perceive as being done to me. None of it is real. None of it matters. All aspects of it are nothing more than an illusion. A dream. A movie. A story in a book. Fairy tales one and all. All were created to make me believe I am special. I am better then all I see. I am prettier, I am smarter, I am thinner, I am sexier, blah, blah, blah. My Ego mind has but one purpose. My Ego wants me guilty and afraid, curled up in a fetal position in a corner, sucking my thumb, bawling my eyes out, crying in a childish voice, “Why? Why? Why?”. The answer to why, is because I choose it to be this way. I choose to see with my Ego and not the Holy Spirit. Well, now is the moment for me to choose again and I am choosing differently this time. I am and have been choosing differently.
Blessings on your journeys my brothers. Hugs and love. You are loved. I love you.
