Being dragged


“Dying to your own attachments is a beautiful death.

Because this death release you into real life.
You have to die as a seed to live as a tree.” 
- Mooji

I am sure many people have had this experience. Your moving, but so is what is outside. And for a brief moment (or until your mind adjusts), one is not completely sure which is moving, the scenery or you? 
One of the many "mind-tricks" caused by the illusory nature of this world. 

Do you feel that you "move"? Does the belief exist in your consciousness that Who and What you are can move, change, or die? Check it out. Until we move beyond it, we can experience this illusion, that it is US in motion, and not the things around us. Though this is not true. It can't be, if what we are is changeless, deathless. 

Attachment is an unavoidable. And for good reason, because attachment is one of the primary tools we use as souls, to wake up from this dream, and realize the Truth of who and what we are. And it is within this journey, that we find the boundless stillness of our being, and become aware that it is the world which moves. Which sways. It is the illusion that "Ebbs and Flows". We are forever stationed in the state of perpetual, divine, stillness. We are perfect unto ourselves, so there is no need for movement. For inconsistency. 

Yet, we experience it. Until we don't. And we won't experience life in this way when we awaken to the eternal "anchor" which holds us in Truth, ad infinitum. When we wake up and realize that this world, by its very nature, is always 'coming and going',  we realize that we've been dragged, 'here and there', this whole time. An attachment arises, plays, and goes and our consciousness sticks with it. We hold on to it, feeling as if we need to, to sustain some less than idea about ourselves, and we get dragged. 

So what can happen if we "let go"?

There is only one way to find out.... :D

Its ALL or NOTHING

"For they are meaningful only to their maker, and so they have no meaning at all"
- ACIM -

We did not come into this life with identity. It was made. We came with no name, no idea or concept. We were birthed free from expectation or doubt. What of us then, was not made by us through this journey? What of others did we accept to be our own? What has this cost us? 

With what we have made we have discovered a land of fear, of suffering. Of sickness and death. And worst of all, we have found ourselves to be ALONE. And with this world we have made we have cast ourselves "into the pit". Guilt brought us here. Fear keeps us here. 

This is not the world God created. 

Truth must be shared, and this world we have made with our fear and our guilt is one we  experience alone. And for this reason alone, our world is not true.

"For these figures have no witnesses, being perceived in one separate mind only"
- ACIM -

We can choose to continue to live in this world we have made, where we suffer, get sick, and die. Or we can choose to give up the world we have made, and accept the Kingdom as it was created by the Father. The Kingdom is shared with everyone. It is shared with God. It is the ONE in ALL. 

It is in the world God created where he keeps our peace, our joy, our eternal love and grace. All we must do is put down that which we made at the "feet of the Lord" and accept the glory which is our birthright in the Kingdom of Heaven. 

So whats it going to be?

All.... or Nothing? 

Aum ♥






Safe Harbor

"It has been hopeless to attempt to find hope of peace upon a battleground" 
- ACIM Ch.29 - The Coming of the Guest - 

If we pay close attention to the moments we have when there is conflict with another, we will undoubtedly notice that in some part we have decided to allow our still waters to be troubled. We have accepted a less than idea of ourselves, and then projected it upon those whom we accept conflict. 

In the process of Awakening we will continue to have these moments of conflict until we fully and completely release the bag of bricks we carry along with us. In no way can we truly be of service to the world until we have let the world go. This includes everything we have made of ourselves. Being infinite, there is nothing we can apply to our stature that will in effect change anything about who and what we are. In the end, what we add in effect, subtracts from the Glory and Peace which is our birthright. 

Through the examples of the Masters, we have learned that true freedom is attained via the complete abandonment of our Ego/Body-mind, so that our True self may be expressed and experienced. This place of unique solitude may be called our Safe Harbor. Here is where the waters are forever still and remain so regardless of the stones that are thrown. This is the Peace of God. 

And is this not the true gift we can give to others (and thus receive)? If we seek to resolve our inner conflicts and to be vessels of peace in the world, would it not be the wisest to always reside in the safe harbor of the Father? Imagine the impact this would have on the Life around you. Each being whom enters your consciousness would be invited to release their bag of bricks for "it is not I that carries them". 

Let us seek to liberate ourselves and our brothers from the bondage of such tremendous weight and density. Let us be a Safe Harbor for the world so that all whom we share this dream may know that "before me ye are safe, and have no troubles". No man or woman would have use for their stories, beliefs, ideas, all of which are used to protect and defend against a world that they fear. In your presence and consciousness, give your Brother rest, for they have been waging a great battle within.
