What Needs To Be Healed?

8/25/2019

If a very young child said to you, “There is something wrong with me. I need to be fixed”
it is likely you would see that the child is mistaken. You would see that it is only
the child’s understanding that needs ‘to be fixed’ – not the actual child.

Why is it then that when we 'mature'
we become so darn convinced
that it is who we actually are that needs to be healed?

What Really Needs to be Healed?
What We Are or Our Understanding of What We Are?

And what profound implications there are if it is in fact
solely our understanding of what we are that needs to be healed - not what we are!

“Run, run as fast as you can! You can’t catch me I’m the gingerbread man!”
is a line from one of my four year old granddaughter’s favorite books.

The gingerbread man cookie, although made to be eaten, runs away
from those who are trying to eat it. But finally, at the end of the story,
he is gobbled up.

When I first read this book to my sensitive granddaughter I wondered
if she would be upset by the ending. But she wasn’t.
It seems she understood the purpose of the gingerbread man cookie
was to be eaten.

The gingerbread man reminds me of us –
when we are out of touch with why we are here.

We run away when we don’t know our purpose is to remain.

We run away when we are bored or restless.

We run away when we are anxious, upset, stressed, fearful.

We run away to activity – any at all will do. Rather than remain and
feel our feelings we scroll through social media, write an email, pick up a book, project blame, call a friend, get something to eat, go shopping, clean the house,
organize a closet, watch a Youtube clip – run, run, run, run.

We look for something to do rather than just remain and allow the raw feelings of boredom, restlessness, unworthiness, anxiety, or fear to fully be felt
without buying into a story about any of it …

‘see’ what is on the other side of it all, so to speak …

and then, from a place of peace, clarity and freedom, move.

We Realize Our Freedom When We Don't Run From What Is Here and Now

World Peace Begins As An Inside Job

8/9/2019

My heart goes out not only to those directly impacted by the recent violence in El Paso and Ohio but to those who perpetrated the violence -
as well as those who incite violence.

We can't live well with others
if we are not living well with ourself.

When we are suffering we lash out -
and regardless if this lashing out takes on a more subtle form such as blame, judgment, manipulation, control or a less subtle form such as bullying, physical abuse or murder - it is all really coming from the same place of confusion.

When we're not confused ... when we're clear ...
we're open, light, at peace, still.
And our actions are loving and wise.

May more and more of us come to know - really, really know -
the PEACE that is the essence of our very nature.

World Peace is the Ripple - We are the Source

Do Expectations Deliver or Disappoint?

8/4/2019

Do you find that the more you expect your surroundings, others, or yourself
to be a certain way the greater your discontent?

"My house and yard need to look just so and then .... I'll feel okay."
"Others need to say and do certain things and then .... I'll be at peace."
"The politicians just need to all get along and 'do the right thing' and then ....
I'll know peace."
"I need to stop doing this or start doing that and then .... all will be well."

With expectations we try and control, manipulate or fix -
and we are forever projecting into the future.
We believe nothing now is good enough, for long anyway.
We feel strongly that we know how to fix whatever now
doesn't feel quite right and so we are then in conflict
with our house, yard, children, partner, the politician, or ourself.

And we feel that it is this very conflict that will somehow bring us peace.

'The head' is adamant that nothing is as it should be and
peace is just not possible until ....
