Form And Content

It is not this author’s responsibility to convince or even suggest any individual believe what is written here, it is the sole (soul )  responsibility of each individual to decide what their journey means to them. This author understands all things are a form of energy, only in the illusory world made up by the ego.

If the words Jesus, Holy Spirit, Father or God bother you, replace them with whatever names make you feel comfortable. Everything in this fantasy dream world is about two. 

We see everything as a form or body which is only a projection of a thought. This we call an image which seems real but is not real. Everything we see is perishable and will not last.

Content is what the mind believes to be true and could be seen as reality or believed to be reality. Our perception will depend on which teacher we choose to listen to. There are only two choices: the ego or the Holy Spirit. 

Everything is an illusion in the dream we call life. This includes Jesus and all other enlightened individuals who have tried to wake us up. Consciousness, the level of perception, the first step of the split mind ( ego ).  Also known as the BIG BANG theory and found in Genesis in the Bible, the story of Adam and Eve. When the separation occurred ( split mind ) the ego tricked us into believing we have a body outside of the mind. By believing we have a body we only see other bodies which are symbols. ( all things are symbols ) While being in a state of insanity it is impossible for us to understand reality. 

Heaven and God make no sense to the split mind and in order to be taught we needed a body or person we could relate to. Jesus is the body and the Holy Spirit is the person in most of the western world. There is no way we could be taught in any other language than the one we know. By language I mean our understanding at the level we can understand. Everything in the dream is a symbol of a symbol. So we are being taught by symbols.

Examples: Jesus is a symbol of love and love is a symbol of the Father which is another symbol. We can’t relate to God so the Father is the symbol used for God. The ego is a symbol of the body which we see as being separated.  

The ego teaches it`s content through form or body and uses special relationships to join with bodies. The Holy Spirit teaches joining with the mind. The ego`s content is based on give and take, one or the other or sacrifice to get what it wants out of the special relationship. This is a love hate relationship. The ego teaches the belief in sin, guilt and punishment which induces fear. 

The Holy Spirit`s content teaches there is no body and only mind. All are one, all are equal and all are love. Thus His teaching is forgiveness, kindness, joy, happiness and freedom. There is no sin, guilt or fear in the Son of God. ( only the belief in it )

Love Is The Way I Walk In Gratitude

 Disclaimer: I know nothing! It is not this author’s responsibility to convince or even suggest any individual believe what is written here, it is the sole (soul )  responsibility of each individual to decide what their journey means to them. This author understands all things are a form of energy, only in the illusory world made up by the ego.

What does this really mean? 

First, what is love? We can find many ways love is defined and expressed. This would not be what real Love is. It is this author’s understanding that Love is Truth and Truth is whole, it can’t be divided, taught, explained or learned. It can only be experienced. 

The closest I can come to Love in this dream is the reflection of Christ`s love. Love was and is the true teachings of Jesus, His reflection of the Father’s Love. The only way I can obtain this is to understand what true forgiveness is. Simply put, forgiveness is overlooking error, I forgive all or I forgive none. 

What never happened was the separation of The Son from The Father. You can`t separate what is whole. This only seems possible when what I think I see are separate bodies or forms all around me. 

When I am grateful for everything and understand what I see, feel, hear or touch, everyday is a lesson in the classroom, I now have the choice as to how I let each daily lesson affect me. If I choose the way of the ego I will not be grateful when someone attacks me. I will want to attack back, which is the same as attacking myself. 

If I choose the Holy Spirit I will see this attack as a call for love. This reminds me that we are all seeking the love we think we threw away. I can now let the Holy Spirit do His job and extend His love through me. 

When I am grateful for my brothers and sisters I am grateful for God The Father. Gratitude is an aspect of love which is the source of creation. When I choose gratitude by comparisons I am not truly being grateful. To exclude one is to exclude all. By doing this my vision is blurred and I will not see the wholeness of creation.

Forgiveness Is The Key To Happiness

Before I can reap the benefits of forgiveness I must first understand what true forgiveness is. Many times I have said I forgive you without any real passion behind it. Forgiveness is the key to releasing guilt. When I forgive someone I am also forgiving myself.

How much anger, resentment and bitterness is too much? Any of these controlling feelings will eventually destroy your relationships and your health. It doesn’t matter if your current relationships haven’t caused these negative feelings, there will be a time when something will set them off.

There are always two sides to forgiveness, if you were the individual who was harmed even if the perpetrator has never come to you and asked for forgiveness it is up to you to forgive. This can be very hard to do and it may take years before you have realized how much damage holding onto this has caused you and others. It is not necessary to do this face to face but it is vital to do.

Now if you were the perpetrator first you would need to admit you were wrong and ask the individual or parties you harmed for their forgiveness. Making amends as soon as possible is important. However you must recognize when it would be best to do so. It would be wise to let the individual have some time to cool off or recover physically or emotionally before you attempt to reconcile your relationship with this person.

When you understand how great you feel after you have done your part you will want to rectify any future incidents you may become involved in quickly. When you have taken responsibility to ask an individual for forgiveness don`t expect to get a positive response all the time. Some individuals may not forgive you, understanding this is not your responsibility one must now move on, your part is finished.

Just shrugging the offense off and not really accepting or being serious in asking forgiveness will only delay the healing process. This can eventually become noticeable by others in the way you interact with those who were involved. This kind of behavior can lead to deeper resentment and cause more damage in the long term.

All pain whether it be physical or emotional is due to the belief in separation which has caused sin, guilt and fear to seem and feel real. Every time I attack  a brother or sister it is due to unconscious guilt I project out of fear within. 

Being as Christ the Son of God along with all my brothers and sisters it is the belief that we are separated from The Father the cause for seeing everyone as different. Believing we are bodies is the greatest magic trick the ego has pulled off. 

This is only the beginning of learning what true forgiveness is and as I understand more how forgiveness is actually about forgiving myself even if I was attacked by a brother or sister I am working to being at peace with all things. Learning to live in a forgiving state is a lifestyle I am coming to cherish.
