Ten
Newly born babies are placed in a crib facing
one another. Which baby is different? My problem is that I have learnt to
judge.
I was perfect when I came into planet being, then I learnt to judge and I became afraid. I learnt to judge others and by so doing I condemned myself. Frequently as I judge I believe that love is not present, rather than acknowledging my own lack of seeing. As I look I am just to observe, not to identify, for as I identify I judge and leave the door open to receive more judgement in my life. If I judge someone, I am wrong even if I am right. To judge another is to judge myself. As I perceive someone as guilty, I deny myself peace. Why judge when I may forgive?
Where there is no judgement, there is no censure and so peace prevails. In that place I see no right, no wrong; nor do I think right or wrong. Peace is where my egos are no longer present, where I am no longer trying to control, where there is no greed, no pride, no lust; no more of these things, for peace just is. But when I judge, love is absent and rather than acknowledge my own lack of seeing, I blame and I am afraid, otherwise I would not judge. My task is to replace judgement and fear with forgiveness and love. Practise forgiving.
I may write the previous paragraph in many other forms, which may apply, diversely to different souls. For example:
I too was perfect when I came into this life but then I judged that some were of a different race I became afraid as I considered some as another colour, I likewise saw myself as a member of a clan and by so doing condemned myself, for by identifying myself of one clan I created the difference between my group and other groupings. Frequently I see people as not belonging to the same set as myself and where I perceive a group or person as right or wrong, better or worse, then love is absent, which acknowledges my own lack of seeing. I am just to observe, not to qualify, for as I identify I leave the door open to receive division into my life. We are all one; we are all souls on a temporary journey to this planet.
And:
I was perfect when I arrived on Planet Earth but then I saw myself as part of the world. I saw others as trying to control me and I became afraid and I decided that if I was not to be controlled myself then I must control others and thus I saw the world as those who control me and those I control. As I allowed this to happen I accepted control into my life and by so doing I denied myself freedom. Yet beyond control there is only freedom.
I was perfect on my arrival on this Planet but when I saw myself as part of my surrounding world world. I saw that some people doubted and I then doubted myself and I became afraid. By doubting I denied myself access to certainty. Yet beyond doubt there is only certainty.
I was perfect on my arrival on this Planet but then I saw myself as part of the worldly surrounds and I saw that some people were fighting with one another and I became afraid and took sides. By so doing I denied myself peace. Yet beyond fighting there is only peace.
And so on and so on, all being applicable to my life. Yet beyond separation there is only unity. You might like to complete some others yourself.
To believe that I was not perfect at creation is a wronging of love for only my soul, which is love, knows the truth that lies within. The function of my life is to love and so come to understand the truth. This lesson constantly awaits me. I may accept or reject, I have a free mind to decide as I wish, the choice is mine. Should I choose fear I have chosen a path of self-deception and unreality that leads to the insight of all that fades away. If I choose love I have taken the path of hope that leads to reality. To consider otherwise is to presume love does not exist. Yet love is real and nothing can destroy it. My fear may be replaced by love; it is for me to act. My soul is like a genie trapped in a lamp waiting to be freed. I may rub love onto the lamp and free my soul. It is as a wonder, a marvel.
In every conscious moment I am to ceaselessly strive to be in the presence of love. The more I practise (exercise), the more it is so. As I wake in the morning I am to wake with the intent of living love, to bring love to all I meet, to everything I do; throughout my day. Then as I go to rest I will find my thoughts continuing on love. At the dawning I was love and I was centred on love for I am of love. There is no other true cause than love, for all other directions lead away from the essence of my being. If I take any other route but love then I am moving away from the yearning of my soul, and hiding from my being and trying to live that which I am not.
As I deny the worldly around me, I no longer form impressions that go to feed my egos. I am to deny the consideration of my mind that my soul is its possession. I am to deny any situation that angers me so that my egos go into retreat. Each person I meet is in some way a mirror of myself. All I see is a reflection of my internal world for I am unable to distinguish any form that is not already within me. Should my mind identify what it perceives as an error, then that self same error is part of my makeup. How else could I be aware of it? As I become conscious of only love, then in that instant there is only love within me. I learn from this experience of love to reclaim my soul.
As I learn and come to understand love, I am given and accept the sight to see where previously I did not. A blind person who forgives sees more than a seeing man who condemns. As I look for love in every situation I realise (real eyes) love is always present. I use all the spiritual gifts I was given to do these things. Nothing of love is difficult to see, it’s just that my prejudices and intolerances get in the way and obscure. Observe in self. Observe in others. Do not judge nor justify. Just observe and love.
I am not to delay for if I keep
waiting for the perfect wave, I will never launch.
Practise by launching myself on every wave for my intentions, unless
accompanied by works, are valueless. My journey is urgent but I tread carefully
for the egos will try to trick me. Remember that if I waste the life given to
me, I am wasting my creation.
Although there is no shortage of love, it is and will remain the most precious commodity; I am not to abuse it. Never shut out love for the pain is great. Rather open wide the door of love and live to the full. Reside in love so love becomes my dwelling place. Thirst for love and freely drink to fulfilment. It is never too late. Do these things now while the opportunity exists. There is perceived pain in letting go, letting go of the useless clutter I have accumulated, but until I let go, I do not give love a chance and the real hurt will remain. I let go when I leave this planet, so as I let go now and I become a visitor to the planet, no longer being part of the worldly. The world I see is ludicrous, it spins round and round, twisting my illusions. I created the contorted place that I see, no one else. Yet the planet I see, the planet given in love, turns only to complete the circle. If the caterpillar holds onto the cocoon, there is no butterfly. As I hold on to the material world I too deny myself the beauty of flying and being one within the company of love.
I am to become spiritually responsible for my own being: not to be so denies my truth. With each dark thought I die a little. Remember though that if I see the presence of a shadow there must be light. As I see the light and meet with love I am able to say: “May I call you teacher?” The response is “I am but you.” My teacher already expects me. I am spiritually complete and should I doubt this, I am allowing the egos dominion. The egos will try to divert me for they perceive my teacher as an enemy. They will redouble their efforts to create separation and limitation, but it is for me to simply revert to accepting and breathing love so that my teacher and I may then proceed on. The dissolving of the egos is paramount to future joy.
As the plant is free to seed a
new life, the seed itself does not proceed until it lets go of the parent. So
too I jettison the worldly to allow the regrowth of my spirituality. There is
no beginning and no end to this cycle just as love has no beginning and no end.
Nature has decreed it so: seed, growth, plant, fruit and back to seed again.
This is the circle. I may see nature as living or dieing, but the old brings
forth the new in the ongoing journey. I may perceive species as becoming
extinct, but being love I am not part of that perception for love cannot be
extinguished. Each soul I meet is on this same cycle, nature clearly shows me
this as love helps me find the way. Without love I cannot see, for without its
light there is only darkness. As I let go, I see and love again and my spirit
is freed. I may fly; I may dance with my soul, with the child within.
It is not my task to change others; it is my task to change myself. I am to find myself by knowing love. It is no more difficult for one person rather than another, for love does not differentiate. As I share in companionship with another, be in the moment of exchange and offer love throughout. As I make a decision I first ask myself whether it is for the benefit of those it affects, self and others. We all have much to do; there is much to repair. As we do these things in love, love will assist for I am, we are, not alone.
As an exercise, when in company,
deliberately take less than a share of the conversation to the extent of
experiencing the incident of a silence or lull. Be with the interlude. In any
meeting with another look for the blessing,
look for the message and look
for love in every pattern. Allow all to be present. The same applies to the internal chatter of the mind; allow the
mind to become quiet so the soul may be heard. These things I am to learn, for
only when I have trained to play a musical instrument may I be a useful part of
an orchestra and join in with harmony and appreciate the melody. I am first to
know myself, then may I harmonize with others. I am to practise being in
harmony, not only in the conversation but at all times whether alone or with
others. Each person I meet is my family; each of my doings affects self and
others. Hear my soul as I dissolve the egos so that my being is no longer
blurred and celebrate the renewal of my own acquaintance. In all these things I
am unable to truly share in the restoration unless I first learn of myself,
otherwise I am like a guitar player who joins a band but has not yet learnt how
to play the instrument. Start first by being at peace within then, from that
environment, I will develop and learn to be in tune and harmonize with the
refrain of self and others.
Whenever I look at the presence of nature on planet earth, it is very apparent that we are in difficulty. Now is a major ecological predicament. With so many not finding peace in their own homes, nor seeing peace in the world; no wonder nature is neglected and suffering so. But to look at the planet and say I can do nothing about it is far from truth, for I can love. I can love myself, I can love others, I can find peace within. I can speak truth out of love, I can be compassionate, I can care and cease judging. My alternative is to continue towards inadequacy, wearing the masks of procrastination and ignorance, being who I am not and thereby permitting the ongoing ravaging of nature. Rather than living in a world of fear, I may substitute and live in unison with the planet. Of myself, without love, I can do nothing. Life is my opportunity to give and receive love so that our planet survives. The only error of life I can make is not to choose love. Each soul is one in the sight of love, to reconcile to love is the renewal of life and love. My soul love is to be everlasting. This is my task, for in this way I allow nature to repair as I care for nature and nature cares for me. My egos are an illusion, let them go. They try to divert me, yet they are incapable of providing other than death for that is the way my egos and “possessions” take me. But all that is nature will respond to my loving. Nothing of this planet is mine, all belongs to nature. With loving care, nature on this planet will repair. As I learn of love I am more able to assist.
If I want peace in my life then I must abandon attack for I can only be attacked if I defend. I may forgive my perceived attacker and I may forgive myself for defending. Those who I see as attacking, those who are angry with me, they are my most important teachers for from them I see myself. My egos tell me that forgiveness will only lead to being trampled upon, but this does not accept the truth that is of love. To forgive is to remember only the loving thoughts and feelings, everything else is forgotten. Forgiveness is my important task in healing. I am to remove the perceived barriers that I have placed between myself and love and in stead accept the relationship within; with the inner child, the little boy, the little girl, the male, the female, the sexual self, the man, the woman within. Be with self, be within and accept.
My relationships with other
people and nature offer me the opening to seek out and be with love. Every
instant is an opportunity to give and receive love. The less clutter I carry,
the lighter is my journey. All that I see is a reflection of my internal world.
Some will see a flag as bringing unity, to others it will accompany the battle
cry. The dissolving of my egos is my
responsibility, no one else’s. If I do not love, I insult nature and I
insult love. As I include love the equation changes and the bond with my soul
celebrates.
The perception of a tempting world gains my attention by offering me a way to allow it to control my mind. If I permit this, the egos move in and I forget that I am love and that my purpose is love. If I pursue this course of the worldly it leads away from love and away from the essence of my being. If I take any other route but love then I am distancing myself from the yearning of my soul and hiding from my reality, trying to live that which I am not; this results in death. Rather I would live.
If I say I cannot do something that is loving or I cannot attain something that is loving I am saying love cannot do or attain it, which is impossible. If I say that loving is too difficult, I am saying love does not have sufficient power to do it, which again is impossible. As I make the effort I will be assisted, for love will guide and comfort me. The question is not, why does love allow people to live in such sorrow, rather why do people allow it, why do I? The question is not, why does love allow people to starve, rather why do people, why do I? The question is not, why does love allow fighting and wars, rather why do people, why do I? Ignoring love accompanies a barren life; accepting love sustains a fruitful life. As we start to love, we start to mend. So too is nature restored.
What perceptions annoy me? What concerns me? What bothers me? What do I dislike? What do I resent? What am I fed up with? To what am I objecting? What do I want to change? What do I want to bring forth in myself? What do I want to bring forth in my life? Consider each of these and practise increasing my awareness. Become aware of all my body centres, of the actions of my mind, of my spiritual self, being with every aspect of my core being, becoming centred.
Consider the centre. A turning wheel such as a water wheel has its greatest activity at the outside edge, that is where it is fastest. As I go in towards the centre of the wheel there is less and less speed until I get to the true centre where nothing is moving, all is stillness. If it was still turning at that point, I would either not yet be at the centre or have passed through. At the centre there is balance, all is symmetry. Again: if I free wheeling downhill and then the road begins to rise, I will slow then, as the hill continues up; I will slow further until I commence going backwards; at the point of change in that micro instant I am stationery, not moving. The swinging pendulum likewise must be stationary as it changes from one direction to the other. It is the same with my thoughts as I change from one to the other, in the micro moment I am with neither consideration. If I let go of my thoughts without taking up another, then I have let go and left space for change and I may allow loving to be present. So too with my feelings, as I release one I may replace it with love. Should love be present I hold on, going for the ride and remaining with that feeling, so that I may remain in the peace, staying centred. The centre is where everything is in balance, as I achieve that place there is silence, there is peace, there is harmony. Since these features are present, so is love for peace and harmony are ingredients of love and by definition love too is at hand. I am allowed to be centred, I am allowed to be at peace; I just need to let go of the outside and go within. This is my ongoing assignment. In any instant I am to find that place of balance, where harmony exists and then remain there in the presence of love.
Identify with each and all centres within and without, become aware and bring balance to all life. Sight leads to insight, insight to awareness, awareness to awakening, awakening to the soul. I am not required to use intellect; in peace I may ask love. A pigeon knows the way home, why do I pretend to be lost?
My mind has no ability to make me happy, it makes me a victim of the warring between my egos. When feelings emerge that come from the soul, my mind will try to think thoughts of anything to divert these feelings of love. Each ego fights to have its own feelings uppermost and all strive to be in charge of my mind, but they cannot conquer where I call on love to assist. As I dissolve the egos, there is again space for the acceptance of love within my mind. Over past times the mind has been afraid, thinking it has previously been hurt by love; these are the trickster egos at work. My way to heal the past is to centre, forgive, give thanks and let go.
Practice:
What a beautiful task to be asked to get to know oneself, to find love again.
My mind cannot conceive the magnificence that love has prepared for me.
