Thought

You do not know the meaning of anything you perceive. Not one thought you hold is wholly true. The recognition of this is your firm beginning.

I can hear some objections, well, hold it! I have loving thoughts and aren't they true? All of our thoughts come from a belief that we are separate from God, or the Universe or Love whatever you may want to call it. We work with the idea that this is not true. In truth, we are always connected. Every thought comes from a belief in separation and the truth is abstract, formless Love. Love, Christie

Love

Love rests on certainty. Only uncertainty can be defensive. And all uncertainty is doubt about yourself.

When I am in a loving place I am solid in who I am. If, however, I have temporarily forgotten the truth, then I may become defensive and underneath this defensiveness is uncertainty about myself. I am doubting my abilities in some way. Forgiveness will guide me away from uncertainty back into the wonderful truth that I am part of Oneness.

Love Christie

Punishment

“Any concept of punishment involves the projection of blame, and reinforces the idea that blame is justified.
The result is a lesson in blame, for all behavior teaches the beliefs that motivate it.”

"Perhaps everything terrible is in its deepest being something helpless that wants help from us."

Rainer Maria Rilke


I just read that the U.S. is building 200 new beds per day for correctional institutions ………. wow.
Isn’t it time I wake up and recognize that every word, every act can only have one of two intentions: a cry for love or an extension of love? Isn’t it time I start responding with love to a cry for love? Isn’t it time I start hearing my OWN cry for love and extending love to it? Isn’t it time I start recognizing the enemy within and start loving him? Wouldn't it make a great Christmas present, recognizing that I made it up, recognizing I am not that evil thing I thought I was all this time? And, if I am not that evil thing then who is there to blame? There is no blame, there is only Love.

I am reminded of those beautiful words by Ste. Catherine of Siena: "The Absolute Innocence of all within my creation will take a little while to understand." Love to One and all,
