Hello world. The following was written 5/5/2018.
I found myself responding to my brothers calls for understanding about the repercussions of choosing to deny what is experienced in what is termed a “Bliss Ninny Mentality” and what ACIM is referring to in regards our trying to convince our brothers of what it is we have chosen to believe. We are to focus on ourselves and what it is we are experiencing and not what it is our brothers are choosing for themselves.
What ACIM has been referring to, is letting go our own attachments. Our attachments to our brothers accepting what it is we are sharing with them. We are to let go our attachments to our brothers changing their minds. What it is referring to is us giving up our attachments and beliefs we are right and our brother is wrong. Giving up our attachments our brothers are broken and we need to fix them or the belief we can fix them. For each of those attachments are a judgment being held by the Individual they know more than the Creator or Holy Spirit would.
When we connect with our brothers we are to connect at the heart level with open hands and hearts. We are to listen to hear where our brother is at. We are to listen to hear and not respond. In the simplicity of listening to hear a door is opened for their healing. It is the verbalization of their experiences which allows them to look at it and view it in a more open loving Light. It is this opportunity given them which is also given you to see your own experiences from a different perspective and to share how you have healed your own. There is no convincing happening in these sharing’s. What is offered is understanding and compassion for what is experienced and a showing they are not alone in this for others have experienced similar things too. There are no judgments being handed out. Just a connection of equality and unity in understanding how we are the same.
The deeper underlying issues being hinted at, are the repercussions of choosing the enlightened egoistic belief system to deny oneself and what is being experienced can have and bring. It hints at how it can stagnate or keep one in a rut repeating the same patterns over and over again. It goes even deeper than this. For every time you choose to deny what is being experienced you are choosing to seek out your egoistic beliefs and justifications instead.
What Humanity does not understand is when they are “faking it” they are creating a false mask, a false façade or costume. In those moments they are choosing to lie about who they are, where they are at on their journeys and what it is they are experiencing and going through. This false façade creates a wall between them and their brothers. It does not and will not allow one to connect fully heart to heart. For how can you connect through your heart to that of a lie that IS NOT TRUE?
When one chooses to wear the mask and false façade they are no longer living. They are hiding terrified in the darkness. They are terrified of being their true authentic “fucked up selves” as per their own perspectives and beliefs of who they are. They are terrified if their brothers were to see them as they really are they will be judged, ostracized, demonized so rejected creating a wish for death. For it is in those moments death begins to look more preferable to this hellacious life they find themselves in and believe themselves to be.
Understand the only reason one chooses to hide behind the mask of the bliss ninny is because they are not able to accept themselves as they are. They are in judgment of themselves and are in a continuous search outside of them for the love and acceptance they so desperately are seeking. They hold the belief what they are seeking and searching for may be found out there in the world in someone else. They fail to recognize what they seek is within them. All it would take is for them to WILLINGLY stop and drop their mask. To be completely open, honest and authentic with themselves with where they are at in those moments.
Once one chooses to drop those false facades and be real with themselves in the moment, the door to healing opens in front of them. The walls they had built crumble away. They are no longer holding their brothers at arms length and they are no longer hiding from themselves. In turning within they begin to accept themselves as they are and where they are at. As they accept themselves they begin to recognize how they are no different from their brothers and are able to now accept their brothers as they are without judgments.
This is what is being hinted at my brothers. These deeper perspectives and understandings of how all of these things you experience are interconnected and placed there for your benefit if you would only choose to stop picking, choosing and judging it all. Instead ask Holy Spirit what it’s purpose for you would be. Recognize how it is YOU are BLOCKING YOURSELF from the very healing you have been seeking.
The very act of choosing to be the bliss ninny is you picking and choosing what is or is not of benefit to you. In those moments it is YOU who are in judgment of you and what is experienced as being wrong in some way. The very denial you give it, keeps it repeating until you choose to accept what it is YOU are doing to YOU. Your denial of your own responsibility for believing what it is you have chosen for you.
Blessing on your journeys my brothers. Hugs and love. You are loved. I love you.
