WRITINGS IN THE SAND
{WISDOM OF A HALF SAINT}
(Promotion by a dearly departed mother)
"Every day is a choice between stepping into Heaven, or going through Hell. One door or way is always open or clear. The other has be opened or chosen unless it's the other door or way."
Eveyday day we are presented with a lot of choices with options to be in a variety of places or spaces. A host of variations and possibilities that from the many we choose the better place or the good place to be, hopfully hoping it isn't the reason we need to choose again but the reason we realize choosing the better or the good that is better, is, even if not chosen but also that the next may be.
It's interesting that with the many choices to choose from and at our disposal and the many possibilities to consider and grant ourselves, we only really want peace and self-assurance and understanding and not war. That's the rub. We go looking where they are not, especially if we're looking or going where we haven't put them where they could be not knowing they're with us having decided where they are not where we want them to be.
But we yet choose what they aren't and where they can't be and offer up explanations of why we can't experience them and only find battle, fatigue, and pain for our efforts being lost in the false treasure and find the undesired and suffering.
We continue fighting for well being and wellness at all costs in all the wrong places and all the wrong ways not knowing or finding or realizing what's real or True or what would heal and offer something real ever with us. This doesn't have to be if we would Truly believe in them and in us and let go of all that would attempt to take away or redirect us from ourselves and what we really want. If our desire and belief and choosing is strong enough, it will be. Here's the kicker---it already is, and, we already have.
Our battles in life are a fight to lose if its only with ourselves. If we think it's with another, or with something or someone else, we misconstrue who is fighting and who needs to win and what is really going on. But if we are fighting ourselves there's no real fight, because there's no real winner, because the winner is the loser. And if we lose the real fight for ourselves the only victory is knowing there's no losing if we stop battling against ourselves and who we really are and that trying to win ourselves back is just accepting we can stop fighting for our own.
If we can accept this and Truly know and believe it we can be released from our nightmares and dilemmas and our struggles and suffering and Truly be Home again. In reality it's not about winning but just about being who we really are and that that's enough to win the battle of understanding and True thought and to stop the suffering of its denial and the process of its undoing.
Every door is the gateway to magical places and realities or to the darkness of lost identity and false Truth. Often story- generated identities are the cause of suffering and the reason for going through the wrong door, because who one thinks he is is not the real story but the reality of his seeing not the reality of his Being and the Truth beyond and greater than all seeing and any other believing or knowing.
Centering yourself on the Truth and who you really are is the all of it and the all of everything and the starting point if where you were going is not where you started from and where you don't want to be again bringing you closer to the better of life and understanding and the greater of its peace and the all of its True gifts.
These doors lead to places or ways we can be and are something we can enter or go through to become by will whatever reality and presence we choose them to be, but they can be the Truth above all and what we really want or need.
We obviously want them to be what rings the greatest Truth of ourselves and who we are and to bring the better of experience, or at least not the bringer of the greatest false thought we can have or the hardest day we would never want to imagine. But is this the actual choice and intention and the grace and gift we give ourselves? It seems not that often. And more than that it seems natural that we don't. But is it?
What we put forth or send out in our personal energy has an energy of its own and has a lot to do with what we see or experience in our daily lives and what we make it out to be and is always what we intend and decide that to be. It may not necessarily be what we hoped for or want or what is actually there. But if we put it there, it would have to be. What we Truly benefit from is Truth, in everything. What we don't benefit from is the false, in anything.
What we hope or want could be inexorably intertwined with the fear of receiving or achieving something else, which is interesting because it is a True choice and a choice in itself, and it's not choosing wrongly just choosing against our True desire and wish, which doesn't have to be if we don't place our focus and our thinking and our intentions on the wrong thing or on a false wish and an untenable and short-lived desire that gives very little if not anything really at all.
The Universe gives always to the greater and more consistent of projections even if it is the unwanted but can just as easily undue the false treasure and false choice and with Spirit and the God above close the gap and the wrong door and help prevent the journey on forsaken and mis chosen lands if we're not the gatekeeper to our own dark day and the non-aware world and to the non-aware world inside us even if we don't realize it.
But it doesn't often seem like we have a lot of great options or real choices out there since we often choose from the lesser not the greater of the good and open doors that should be permanently shut or never opened. Or we go where we wished we hadn't only to leave or keep the door open for our return and for anything else that wants to come along that's not good company or very much good for us at all.
Sometimes we have to put the brakes on what's useless or not True, otherwise we'll go with things that won't stop but will stop on their own that won't consider what they crash into but will consider all the good it can put in its way to change the course of its purpose and its benefit to us in every way.
There are many ways and many times what we choose is almost completely perfunctory or obligatory in nature or what we think is natural to do or in consideration of 'the mop and bucket, 'day in the life' kind of things, which we have to consider because it's how we run and conduct our lives or believe we have to. They can, though, not be what we want or are really looking for, which of course is life and living life Truly and abundantly.
Our lives are purposeful and have meaning of course, but too often lack good or clear direction and are based on fear or insecurity or unfulfilled desire even doubt and confusion that may or may not come to higher understanding not grasping, then, the True reality of it or of what we are Truly living, or think we aren't. We hope it does and that we are, but something can still be missing. We can find it.
We know when we're off the track of the good when we fear less the fearful and fear more the Truth and Truthful and when we feel less than enthused or less than spirited or even not satisfied if not downright downcast and crestfallen and wistful about what we've assumed or considered our Truth and reality to be in the course of our living what doesn't always readily appear to be what they really are. True or worthy living is not just the living of the good, but in the living of the not so good, we can't forget or dismiss what truly benefits and what truly informs and holds the reigns and has the true handle of our time in the sun and our time with what truly is appreciating what got us there.
The drama after drama that is the soap opera of our lives where our stories take center stage to the True story yet to tell and live and the True identity yet to shine and be is our dilemma and our delayed paradise and often our Achilles heel to our Joy and peace and our True reality and our island of peace and sanity that is quiet, self-assured, without conflict, and without compromise. It is there. But are we?
It's said story-generated identities is the real problem humanity faces and the reason it keeps encountering its problems in repetition and the reason it's bound by them.
But it can also be the reason it doesn't keep becoming the experience and is freed from them.
But how do you get there you may ask? You become who you are and then get there by being there, or, by being it and then get out of your way. Yeah, it seems simplistic and too esoteric and "out there" but so is Truth. Checking in with your Spirit is the fastest tract to all its destinations and the only place you can ever be that actually gets you there or somewhere.
The signposts are everywhere you allow them to be. You can't see them but only when you turn around from where you have not put them but where they could always be placed, otherwise can see nothing and then ask where can they be?
I think we lose our way because we think these stories offer some kind of paradise or haven that maybe it's somewhere out there if not in here if we've lived and believed long enough of a faraway land where we can be saved and when we get there can call it Home even though we still feel orphaned, yet Home never left us. And in a way we are because being away from Truth is being away from us and the only Home we will only Truly know. How then can we not feel lost and forsaken and the worst we can possibly feel.
Paradise can also be everywhere and in anything we may not consider it could be and in a lot of things we know it couldn't be but have the greater Truth in them. But we won't know it if we don't consider the inner and outer as One and where we want to be where we already are. If we wait for it to show up, we'll miss it and the grace and holy benefit of its revelation and pure Truth standing right in front of us.
We just don't see it or go there when our vision is lowered and clouded over, or our mind dimmed of Truth or reality for what we don't choose to see or choose to be and because we often struggle in the having and don't let the choice and the real place choose and have us. But sometimes you have to flip paradise to find the real Heaven, otherwise Hell will always be right side up and the bad all over the place.
"Be peace unto the day saved, and the day saved will be peace and the day saved unto you."
Could it be as Jesus says, "The Kingdom of Heaven is within" and that the light of eternal Heaven resides in us? Are we supposed to tap into or access what Deepak Chopra in his book How To Know God calls the knower? Our inner guide? Our inner source? Is this the place, and actually, the same place we're looking for and the source that's looking for us but nowhere but with us, and actually,is us? But maybe more than a place is it the True state and True Being and the True reality and Truth of All Being and who we really are?
Isn't Spirit in everything and so no matter where we are how we are and no matter what before us, or us, before it, this could be our experience and reality and our freedom and release from illusion and pain to the life not lost and the life we've longed for and yet to live that is living in us and living us if we can harness its Truth and its purer understanding?
Or are we to continue living life with the wrong tools and the wrong beliefs but needing to forge our iron in the fire of revelation and the reality of Truth as the way of the casual and Spirited warrior by innocence and all that is good and sure. There are fits and starts to peace, but we have to start and leave what threatens it to the least of our considerations and to all the dark that won't see the light of day.
Peace is a sign of understanding. Unrest is a sign of not knowing what peace understands but knowing more of what is not understood but believed. The proof is in how one wishes to be, not in how one is or can be. If there is no difference, there is understanding. If there is, you have yet to know and truly become what is better to believe and Truly understand.
In The Course In Miracles Jesus says, "Spirit is in a state of grace forever. Your only reality is Spirit. Therefore, you are in a state of grace forever."
Is paradise a real place in our day and lives accessible to us at any moment and at any time? Would it be if the place we're looking for is where we came from and where we are going back to and where and who we are? Is it a place, a locale, a destination, more than a feeling, a knowing, an awareness, or a Being?
Are we not liberated by our own choice and volition for the good we want and for the given as freedom fighters for our own cause and by the God who wills for his children what they will for themselves? As holy scripture says, "Who the Father sets free is free indeed."
Jesus also says everything is in divine order and that we are where we are supposed to be. We can change it if needed and move to the better, but acceptance of where we are and what we have is the path forward and the first step on the road to the higher desire and to healing and that greater place if we don't want to take the other with us or let it be what we think it is even though it's just and right in and of itself until we realize and Truly know what is right and True and what we really want to live and be.
But if we condition or deny what is or what life is showing us, we can only get by default more of the same or want we don't want and we will be unable to pivot from it or make adjustments for a better scenario and a better feeling place if only because it would feel and be better.
If we continue to disallow what can bring us back to its Truth and accept everything else that brings the unwanted to us that lacks the peace and holy Spirit of Truth, we will remain stuck in something or somewhere we don't need to be. Spirit will always show and tell us how True our false choice is by its suffering and separation from reality and the peace ever present and within.
Conditioned and impermanent things in this world pass us by on our way to understanding them and what is Truly at hand if we don't keep them and make them what they are not. It leaves what's left in eternity and its unforsaken Truth and the permanence of its chosen but only reality. The process is not the enemy of Truth or the real battle to be won but through it the way back to the beginning of the never-ending end of its unfolding and comprehending and its saving.
Perception is a display or a take on what can be reality and potentially not just from an observer's point of view. It can lead to Truth and not just one's own personal reality that lives and does not die if it's not based on fears or judgments or on beliefs that hinder peace and well-being. It can inform of better things to come if the feelings and thoughts it generates enhances and elevates life and does not cause or promote further false realities not worth divine eyes or Truer realities.
What one can Truly see only works when it's not only what you think you know but when what you know is how you can think and believe and when what is perceived can be not the lesser part of what it can conceive but the greater of what can be the holy experience so one can Truly know and what blesses and does not damn or harm itself and only extends and adds to life itself.
Perception will set the tone of your reality but will not define or be the miracle and reality and the Truth of its True vision and the clarity of Heaven's Hallelujah but that eyes may see and Truly know The Wonder and Prize and The Wizard of it all in, and for always.
Stress and dis ease is war with reality and our True state of Spirit encoded in our souls and very being when you concede to and make True a false narrative and make peace the least of desires to win over and its loss the sacrifice of the free. Phantoms of reality are our lives as we live and believe them to be as facsimiles of reality made to be created as the living Truth and True presence of The All, but is not it, and falls short of its reality and its awareness in us and the light reverie and shining light of peace and its more informed grace and understanding and benevolent and more fulfilling ways.
This is what makes it hard to live the realities we choose when we mis understand or misplace the ones that would save us and that would bring better and lighter days and when we have misplaced ourselves away from the nature of God's truth and every natural and liberating thought we can have and experience along the way.
But for peace to be known it has to be forgotten, because only what you would know has to be remembered but yet not what needs to be made True. If it's to be the experience it has to be what always was more than what could or might be since then it's more reliable in showing up more often.
Its experience in our lives can be elevated to the holy and divine reality we're really searching for that can rise us out of the dark dilemmas that can invade the eternal light and that can stop the forward momentum of goodness and all we allow it to offer.
"When your heart turns to the world, your mind starts to understand its place in it and where the better can be found."
THOUGHTS IN A LOT
I was in my car parked in a favorite parking space of mine in one of my favorite cities of my favorite bookstore doing what I Loved most which was relaxing and unwinding or reading and was suddenly tuned into the sounds of the city, but maybe I should say, the feel and energy and also maybe the woes of the city. I couldn't help but take in and I guess would say, receive, what was going on in its soul and life here on earth and in the people that were living it, or trying to live through it.
I think it was more than a reaction to the speeding cars and the chaotic sounds of the city, or the frustration of not being able to Zen out or completely relax that got my attention or that prompted me to thinking, but more that I was feeling, something, that there was a call being made "out there" one that wasn't being heard by the caller or fully understood by the receiver and that there was suffering going on because of it.
What I wrote down is my interpretation of the feelings and the thoughts that it generated and what I was inspired to write when I connected to my humanity and my person and the world at large. There have been some additions, but it remains largely intact and original.
"Why does the city still feel unsettled, uneasy, like there is still something not at rest or some trouble rumbling; a suttle or hidden expression of an unsettled need possibly not recognized or brought to the surface of awareness and self-admission at least in the ethers and halls of honesty and innocence, outside of fear and pain and doubt and confusion. We wander in the wilderness in our own Home with Pain overgrown with the deadness and dryness of false Life and unreal reality and false assumptions.
"There's an anxious feel, and also pain and suffering, but not quite understood to the ones who might not believe what is normal may not be natural if to feel good is to feel bad first as they strive and hope for a better feeling and a better day. When you can't see or hear Angels there are only Demons about and the howls of the unholy and the cries of untruth.
"But the healer is not far away and waits for its welcome quietly overseeing and surveying all that is adding to its awakening and understanding and to all that would be well again and all that would be understood of the Life that brought them to it and to its greater and higher state of being.
"The departure from its reality has taken over the lush, green fields of True awareness and Truth and the wisdom and insights of True identity and just cause and has taken a toll in the world we live in. It has not allowed us the benefit of recognizing or being aware of the real world above it all that would save us or we ourselves that would save the world we've made a part of us if only by what we bring to its True reality and desire and to its fruition we have agreed with for it.
"Some misconstrued or mal understood cause or desire is in the air and is the reason for being lost, but more, the
reason for being left in the dark about the unknown, which
is only the clarity of the very Truth and understanding
within and within all life that only requires doing away with or looking past the man-made constructions or illusions that
no longer serve the living and the prospering and those
headed for True creating and real God making."
"There are those who don't believe what they cannot see, and worse, what they can see they choose not to see and then strain to notice what is right in front of them that would tell them more possibly even the Truth that could save them greater than they have been not helping or saving themselves.
"If they would relax their vision into True awareness and see with the clarity of its higher understanding and assurance for the better and live according to their True desires they will have it and will find what they have been missing and will feel and experience the joy and revelations of what
has been forgotten but brought back to remembrance and
to reverie and themselves back to sanity.
"They are into the "little hurts" though big in unforgiving experience and the arduous path. They have made True the small that can loom large when you don't know what you really have or have chosen. They can seem as all of what can only be experienced or chosen and then made True but false to its greater experience of Truth and to the choices worth living and feeling and being.
"They don't let what's real take its rightful place and let the big ships rise with the big guns or let the high sails of True Life ride the winds to calmer and safer seas. We should not work against the less arduous passages in our day
allowing what would harm them or land them aground.
"Most entertain the lesser deeds and considerations that
lead nowhere if only to where they don't want to go or be
and where nothing good can go or can be found. They
waste their time in their illusions and delusions of salvation
and create and foster the conditions that would have them
come True still believing their saving grace has come to
save them not knowing it's a thief in the night looking to
steal their sunshine and their joy and their treasures of
peace.
"They often don't realize they can choose and create better and brighter and the reality above all others and that they can have real salvation and real benefits in life if they would come to the Truth of its light and step away from the sharp and hardened and rough edges and cloaks of darkness and unrest.
"No moment is worth what does not give back or what would take away if it only offers and never denies what damns and brings down not what raises higher, shines brighter, and rings Truer. If it doesn't allow the Truths and joys you're looking for revelation is lost to your finest hour of it and every moment in it.
"You can only expect to be lost in a world where the illusion of time becomes the most real event to what you're Truly looking and searching to find you can be assured in. The grace and restoration and renewal of reality is worth every moment it is given to be received. If it's devalued what do you really have and what has been wrought instead. What has been lost and what have you made in the greater moments of strained but diminished value and uninformed and malformed Truth best to not keep with you or to live in you.
"But every moment has worth and value and Truth when it is seen for what it is The All in all there is and when it is not
extinguished or exchanged for the false and the devalued and the wasting and disguised as light in its darkness or peace in its chaos and as clarity in its confusion.
"Progress is often stalled to enlighten the unaware for what they will not see and know but only needing to open their eyes and realize there is something else going on and
other than what they have chosen to see and believe that
would ease their pain and unease and give them insight
into something closer to what they are really looking for
and where they really want to go and where they really
want to be."
"If you don't go with the flow, you'll crash standing still and be upstream to the waters that would cleanse and save you where you are."
THE TRUE STORY OF MAN
It's said that Man is complex having inside him an array of considerations and defenses and approaches to weed through and to reach equilibrium of right action and benevolent thought and to be a worldly Being of Spirit for the ideal and for the good. His simplicity is his complexity disguised as the straightforward and True but lacking his untangled clarity and vision present despite his wanderings from and imaginings of the easy and helpful.
He is ever in one way, or another, trying to find or understand himself but often by non-self-benevolent or non-helpful means and by actions that would seem to defy a more innocent reason that in his True nature could only bring him there. All things do work for the good, but many need not to be undertaken or utilized and are unnecessary if the goal is to stop fighting battles that are already won of the good that will always be.
If he does not start by going within in his search for understanding what is outside him will always be a mystery and his master and hard to get to or It'll be his fear and defense against death and his only reality making false things the only Truth and his saving grace the only thing that would damn him by it.
Man needs less to understand or be revealed to him than what he would accept in his inner being as who he is and the world as it Truly is as another approach or idea toward True knowledge and real knowing, which accepts all but chooses specifically and precisely what it can be and can live more abundantly and more freely. He gains best and his best gains are from refusing to be lead or taken over by what does not inform of the greater, not the least, or the lesser, of his better knowing or what does not take him there or extend to him salvation or rest from war.
What else can only cause him harm and delusion and separation from the Oneness and Truth from which he came that causes his complexity to be his simplest understanding. He feels the clarity of the Truth is hard to get to from where he is and because of where he's gone away from where he's put himself only because he's not where he is that he wants to be.
Man makes Man complex because he thinks Spirit is hard to figure out because of where he is not because of who or where he really is and where he can Truly be found. Spirit is in his life because it is his life because it is in him and his only reality in his experience of that and all he will ever Truly or really know.
The take Home is that we can settle in in its simplicity and in its abundance of Truth and in its uncomplicated peace. It's said God is quiet because there is no conflict in him. If there is turmoil and noise, we are far from The All and the silence that lives within us and who we really are.
Common sense is the road to the smarts and well-being of Heaven and to the intelligence of the honest and peace - seeking and knowledge and Truth Loving and heart-driven man. He knows the rightness of all things because his thinking and heart go with it and is on the right track in balance and in harmony with the knowing and considerations of God and his fountain of all True and enduring knowledge and realities the foundation of all he will ever know.
"If you place God and life before you God will place you alongside and with him and above death and below the rise of suffering."
THE CUP OF KNOWLEDGE
The cup of knowledge is simply the cup of knowledge of Truth and the real man on earth and the Spirit on earth as it is in Heaven and the remembrance of his True Self and real identity and his True knowledge. His identity is not altered or in question or hangs in the balance in his world but can seem missing and can be misidentified and miscreated by him in his confusion or wanderings and stirrings away from it and himself and by his outer world that would tell him otherwise and who it says he is. It is ever in him being of his God and every Truth that would bear his name and rise with his understanding.
To the extent he doesn't return or draw near it his experiences and perceptions will be what they will and will not bring forth what he Truly desires or what would free him from his own bondage of unknowing. He only needs to come back to remembrance then can he see and realize all else has sought his own false identity so it can continue to be itself and untrue.
The divine cup of Truth is the returning and the remembrance of Man's origin and True identity. It is the all of his Being and his understanding of the All of life and the All of his God and the purpose of his only God. It's Holy elixir nourishes and strengthens his knowing and belief of the reality that is in him and that saves and that bestows upon him his own Salvation. To drink from it is to know he is Home with himself. To believe in it is to know he never left it.
He receives and chooses and delights in what is best he can hold as his clarity of his light of Truth for his benefit and for the blessing bestowed all who come to the higher reasoning and right mind of their experience and to what benefits them in all that does not cause him harm.
This will always be his joy and his peace because it resides in them and he ever with every good thought and every True belief he can hold in the purity of its innocence and the greater intelligence of his Love he accepts as his own. In the absence of what is asked for and received what is given can only come from the given, but not by what would give but by the heart of True reception.
Many are not ready to heed the call. More will suffer because of this. Few will be freed who don't break through to what doesn't resist them who aligns with what they have forgotten is the better of what they would know and remember. This the conundrum and the curriculum of the weary wheel and the way of the unaware and wayward Man but also the hard lessons that come harder when the easier path is not taken.
What can be known and rediscovered is the resurrection of Man's knowing Spirit and the natural Homecoming of his yearning soul undeterred by the world he inhabits when he just listens to his source and to the divine call to remembrance and pursuing Self salvation. Then will joy have come in the morning and the formula and the elixir for success have been found and understanding and peace more often the norm by her grace and by divine right and divine sight and by True and divine light.
"We're all ridding the same horse on a one pony carrousel"
SCHOOL OF THOUGHT AS LIFE OF AWARENESS
We are the subject. The curriculum is Life. The lesson plan is re-member-ing and reintergrating and rediscovering The Pearl of Great Price and who we really are. Recovering our soul. We cannot fail a course we have planned and we have set in motion and that we set on winning, but we can refuse to learn or remember it or deny its teaching and its value and purpose and what we came to gain from it once again.
In time, and beyond it, lessons will be realized for what they are and they who sleep will become the awakened and those who hurt will find relief long last from themselves. Choice will be finally understood as the creator of what can only be. Thoughts and feelings and intent will be realized as the genesis and originators of their own creations but not before intent and will have had their say.
Until then everyday will be like any other; a choice between peace, or dis ease. Heaven, or the hellish. There are no other offerings or considerations. One is going towards one or the other. It's the fastest way to their fulfillment and reality for the better, or for the worst, but don't need time to be known only to be denied and reconsidered or to be embraced and believed. Jesus says, "The Kingdom Of Heaven is within." It's where we are. But it starts with us. The onlu U-turns are from where we begin and where we end.
Every moment we walk with God, or with the Devil, knowing the Devil is not real only a byproduct of what we deny of God. If we walk with God even just a little bit we will feel the fullness of Heaven and will be a little bit further down the line and ahead. If we walk with the Devil we will have just begun to feel Hell and will be as far back and as far below as we could be and in the throes of what we imagined it would be without our Truth and our God in Heaven.
If we stayed with and honored life and the source of our Truth we would experience the joy of every paradise and the solace of every cushioning Heavenly cloud that would soften every blow against it. If the best choice is reduced to or confined in deference of the lesser then the lesser would be the greater but only by the limitation of the freedom to choose other and so the least of all or any other.
The one choice above all others can be known if what can be chosen is free and liberated to choose itself and not what would never allow or except it by any consideration and only by its conclusions and only its better. To an outer world in need what can be given and received is what doesn't serve the choice but is a replacement for it and for the freedom to choose it but giving and holding and offering nothing.
But it's not just about what you choose or where you are going to have it but also or more about who you are when you get there when you choose and have it. If it's not good, or where you want to be or what you want to have, you haven't left yet or gone anywhere and have little and yet to find yourself and to Truly have the treasures of your True desire and your True life.
"The easier road is often the hardest to set foot on but not to walk through."
"What looks out but is what it sees."
OUR ROBE OF TRUTH
Sometimes we have to shed the worldly form and put on the cloak of knowledge and awareness and of True identity to find the Truth of Truths and the True visions of all that can be known and a life that would comfort and soothe and save, not cause distress and dis ease and damn. But this not before its hands wield its ways as we accept the dark to know of the light and the unwanted for what is Truly desired.
And as there is suffering there is also the chance to awaken to joy and to the God within and without and to awaken to the True nature of existence and life. This is the True goal and journey of God. This that God and reality and well being are received as one and made known and whole and made real to the false - manifested reality of all untruth and to the narrow realities and Truths of Man and what he has chosen instead.
There is also the opportunity to realize the innocence of our purpose and the desires of our True identities, which are knowledge and Self knowledge and self Love and acceptance perfect in its conception and its living and Loving, and, in its unfolding and giving and in the influence it can have on what we Truly want to live and who we really want to be.
The way to peace is through remembrance and this understanding and entertaining this True belief and feeling what we have gone away from. It's the way of the True warrior in life and the only way to Truly know. And if all you can understand is your humanity and your innocence then what else is there to know and to find and to believe and to find solace in, because then you have what you were searching for and the thought and Love and True consideration of God.
I believe this just takes common sense, which is the road to the smarts of Heaven and our better knowing and to the higher intelligence of the peace-seeking and Truth-driven. They know the rightness of all things because they know themselves and because their thinking is in alignment and balance and in harmony with the knowing of the higher considerations and assuredy and faith of God.
She chooses and delights in what best she can hold as her clarity of her light of Truth for her benefit and for the blessing bestowed all who come to the reasoning and right mind of all things and to all peace. This will always be her joy and her peace because it resides in them and in her where she is with every good thought that brings her to them and that brings her back Home to understanding and innocence.
"To change anything change yourself. If you can't change yourself change nothing, for a change."
CHANGE IN MOTION. A RETURN TO CONSTANT TRUTH.
Change happens but it's not only what is happening that makes it the True change but also what is doing the changing. Truth, reality, perfect innocence, and Love's higher intelligence are the constants and unchanging but also creative realities of Man and the change he is really looking for and after. In the process there is a remaking or recreating of the unchanging making more perfect all created by it and the sorce already perfect and created from it.
Change is the hallmark of Perception and the seat of new creation and the ideal close to but not actual Truth as it is still far from unchanged knowledge and True to its change back to reality. This reality is the very knowing and the Being and reality of God. But perception and the unreal in their changing are often made to take the place of changeless Truth and the realities of perfected and True vision but aside from their function cannot replace its own saving grace.
What is perceived and false takes many forms, but none is greater than the one that would have you believe is the unchanged Truth and your very salvation. They all don't have lasting meaning or real value and the energy of True life or True memory of the good, except for what you give it which is all it needs. But what we can rescue from the binds of self delusion and Self sabotage is ourselves from ourselves which can only be change worth the motion and change possible by any notion.
Self illusion and its unchanging and persistent ways is not the changeless form or Truth we seek and the clarity we look for the real. It's the changeless stuck in its change for the worse but offering nothing new to made of True life and True change for the better, because outside ourselves it does not exist.
Its senselessness should be quite apparent but kept apart from Truth appears to have meaning and Truth and to be real but its litmus test is does it enlighten and save and does it bring the searcher back Home to peace and understanding and closer to knowledge?
Or is there more work to be done in its remembrance and in the cultivating and bringing into focus awareness of our only reality ever unchanging, ever creating, ever enlightening, ever bettering, and ever True.
The question, you might say, is can you keep enduring and making constant what doesn't endure or what isn't True. You might ask what is True -- What lasts and doesn't kill not what is fleeting and takes many forms and takes away from anything it can because of it's fear of its own demise. But I think you can answer yes, you can. Until you realize you can't when you do it all over again.
If we are to keep the good and the lasting we need to shed all that we entertain and conjure of and reinvent or just take from the world of the less benevolent and serving that although visit only to return never ends its cycle till we end its life of reality and Truth and damnation by will but not by True desire. It's a simple prescription but often a hard pill to swallow.
"Choice is not Truly free if what is freely chosen is thought to be the only choice or only what can be believed to be the choice not what could be conceived and Truly freed and a choice worthy of choosing and having."
THE CHOICE ABOVE ALL OTHERS
Everyday is a choice for liberation or imprisonment. Freedom, or containment. True joy, or absolute sadness. And change for the better. It's all the same choice, or choices, and the choice above all others but a choice that can be unchosen or not chosen for the sake of others. If it's not a choice to serve or to bring relief or to lighten the dark corners it's a choice to undo and to suffer for and to be bound and not Truly benefit by.
What do we choose that we would live as the gatekeepers of light and freedom and peace and the bearers of joy in every Sun ray of peace or as the caretakers of darkness or as guardians of the shadow in the dark or as lifeless beings in a world where life was meant to live? But darkness cast on a Sun ray does not make the Sun less bright but the dark greyer and the grey darker and the day not what it could be.
We should be aware that everything is this choice between peace or suffering. You are always one step in one direction, or the other. Toward one, or away from it but always headed to your destination but possibly in the wrong direction toward the least of them. If there were more choices, you would choose them more often and be halfway to your destination feeling half as good or not as bad as you could be.
You will have what you desire and be where you want to be when where you stand is every other place that you make where you would have you be and not where you wish you could never be, because you stand in, and are with you, always. This is what you can call True choice and True freedom. And this is what you can call the True Salvation you are looking for.
Though can we really say we have free choice and freedom when we choose to keep ourselves confined to one choice and don't allow ourselves the freedom to choose what is actually helpful and that doesn't weigh us down with false narratives and mis informed beliefs and misguided assumptions?
This is really no choice at all, because it hinders and degrades all natural liberation and all good choice by all counter and damning and unworkable considerations against and not for them which may seem like choosing but it's really the choice for nothing at all?
