2. Meditation (Vipassana is my favorite, but anything that will quieten your mind will help.

3. Oneness Blessings

Rita, I suggest you look in the mirror and say "I am the Light of the World" till you believe it. One in Love, ron

these are good thoughts to dwell on, Ron. I have been working on perception asking to be cured of my blindness. "Because you say you see, you are blind"

"There is nothing to fear. The opposite of love is fear, but what is all-encompassing can have no opposite."

Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists."


A Course in Miracles.

Music is looked upon as something serious and holy, designed to purify the feelings of the people. The enthusiasm of the heart expresses itself involuntarily in a burst of song or the rhythmic movement of the body. From immemorial times the inspiring affects that moves all hearts, and draws them together, has mystified mankind.
The ancient kings made music in order to honor merit, and offered it with splendor to the Supreme Deity inviting their ancestors to be present. In the Temple folks drew near to God with music and pantomimes. The Ancestors were invited to these divine rituals as guests of the ruler of heaven and as representatives of humanity in the higher regions. This uniting of the human past with the Divinity in revering his ancestors with solemn moments of spiritual inspiration established the bond between God and man. Our first Earthdance and Theater.

This is in response to Steven Cox's question about asking to see the real world rather than the world you now see. The bottom line is that a person cannot see the real world without being willing to ask to see his or her personal responsibility in whatever situation arises. “The world we now see” is the one that holds the “other” responsible. I will demonstrate what I mean with my personal story here.

I have always held that I love my sister. Even when we were children and "duking it out" in the midst of a very crazy family system, I always insisted that I loved her. Even when I hid in the closet so I could pretend, just for a few blissful moments that I was an only child (not realizing that I was traumatizing her) I insisted I loved her.

And the truth is that I did love her, but I DIDN"T LIKE HER! And I never questioned the difference as a child. And I grew up with the belief system that I was obligated to love my sister...well...because she was my SISTER after all and because mom said I should.

So we grew up and I tried really hard to love her but she would never let me in because she was always better at "smelling a lie" and at calling a spade a spade than I was. But we played a charade of civility UNTIL my niece was born and I attempted to maintain a close relationship with her. At that point my sister became less than civil; barely tolerant and made it next to impossible for me to have anything to do with my niece. So, the angels arranged things so that I was able to see her more during her teenage years.

Fast forward three years and my sister decides she is never speaking to me again. And for awhile this crushed me; I mean I was clinically depressed and I kept talking to her spirit and praying and suddenly it occurred to me that nothing about this felt like the real world. And I asked G-d and Jesus to help me to send her unconditional love and to cut the cord between us and to seal the ends.

At the same time, I began chanting the Ho'oponopono and every time I got to "I'm sorry" I would fall apart and melt into a puddle of tears as I thought about some "sisterly" thing we did to one another when we were kids. So I prayed to G-d and Jesus to help me stop feeling bad. I saw that I had been buying into the fiction of the world as I saw it AND into the fiction of the belief system (BS) I had been raised with. The BS that says everyone has to love me or there is something wrong with me. The BS that early on crushed my will and left me lacking an adequate concept of my real self with which to integrate the real world.

And then the miracle: I saw us "duking it out" as children one more time and I got the picture crystal clear that we didn't like each other AND we never had! And suddenly, I no longer needed her to approve of me or accept me. Because in my real world, we no longer HAD to like each other. In my real world I am O.K. and so is she.

Then, POOF! As though by some magical sleight of hand I no longer needed her to accept me and it is SUCH a RELIEF to have arrived at this place in my sisterly experience.

When I was dealing with the world the way I saw it rather than the way it is, I was being run by all sorts of assumptions and judgments I carried about myself, not the least of which was that I was bad, terrible, undeserving of her love and that she was wrong for not being willing to talk to me about what I did so I could apologize for it and everything would be wonderful again and I would be forgiven. In the world as it really is the only forgiveness due me is the forgiveness I give to myself.

In the world as it really is, nothing between us was ever wonderful, nor was it meant to be. And love between human beings doesn't look like a Thomas Kincaid painting; that is definitely not the real world as it is.

The spiritual truth is that my sister's soul loves me sooo much that she is willing to be the opportunity I need to truly understand forgiveness; the grist for my learning mill as it were. And I do love her.

This is in response to Steven Cox's question about asking to see the real world rather than the world you now see. So here goes:
