a description of the universe.

imagine that you are sitting inside a ball that is about ten feet in diameter. the inside of this ball is coated in a perfect mirror substance that reflects images of yourself back to you everywhere you look.
that is the best description that i`ve ever heard of the universe.
everywhere we look we see ourselves.
do you like what you see?
begin to.
begin to love what you see.
everything.
why?
because that`s how unconditional love operates.
unconditional means without conditions.
any change in that means that it cannot be unconditional.
when you make any other judgement of what you see that is other than love, you aren`t looking at your reflection in a loving way.
it`s hard.
nobody ever said it would be easy.
it means practicing until it starts to come with less effort.
we have been set at odds with ourselves for so long that it becomes a struggle against everything we believe in to take back our love for ourselves.
there is no support group for this stuff. it is a lonely path. until one day you wake up and it all makes sense and you laugh because you realise that it always had been that way.
you have been waiting for yourself to emerge and when you arrive it`s like meeting an old friend. you hug and smile and hug some more and say that you missed your friend so much and that you want to see them again soon.
the hugging goes deep into your soul and begins to heal and strengthen and clarify all the things that you have questioned in your life.
and then the feeling goes away as quickly as it came.
but it`s o.k. because your friend loves you unconditionally and will never betray that love or forget to write or forget your birthday or whatever.
because this is you.
loving yourself unconditionally.

the distinction between what you can change and what you cannot is the key here. it can be very frustrating when people don`t see your point of view in a situation. accepting where you don`t have options is the key. i didn`t say that you should forget the issue though......
what do you want your character to be in this sort of situation?

Dr.Alistair said...

good questions.
firstly, you did create the situation. let it go. there is no need to go into the whys......that is attachment.
what is done is done.
move on.
what do you want your character to be.......means what outcome is needed, how will you act, what do you want to happen?
these decisions will determine what happens next.

if you can see the image of the person that you had a problem with in your mind now then you can see him wearing a clown nose when he speaks and whan he speaks it`s in a high pitched squeaky mouse voice like in a cartoon. the more you laugh, the more he squeaks until he flys off and away like a balloon thats lost it`s air.
you must laugh at your own anger.
it`s funny too.
can you see yourself in the mirror with a clown nose on.........?

your own mind (consciousness) is all that has ever existed......when you decide to have peace all of the disturbances to that peace must be released. all that is left then is peace.
it rests in unconditional love for yourself.
peace. love.
same thing.
so precious.
why ever give it up?

Dr.Alistair said...

thank you............:)

it took you only that long to recognise the truth and let it go.
that lesson is hard learned by most.........the path is simple. we complexify by trying to be clever.
that is the noise the ego makes when it wants attention.
the truth gets spoken quietly and innocently. the enlightened consciousness is sensitive to the whisper..........
no fanfare or brass band.
just peace.
lying in and amongst the tiny flowers on the side of a hill in the sunlight.....warm with the sun.
a simple fleeting thought.
what is real?
whatever you choose.
