we spend our lives sliding with alacrity down the attractive slippery slope of
what turns out to be a whitewater experience that could be one, some or all of pelf, pleasure, possession, position, power… while avoiding or pushing away like jutting boulders and crags aches, complications, obligations, pains, responsibilities and troubles…
instead of living, moving and having our being in the One-Source-Of-All where all we need to be content, fulfilled, happy and peaceful are already present…set on a table… awaiting our savouring…in gratitude and oneness with the Father, in, with and through Jesus, the Christ, in unity with the Holy Spirit…
we live in the prison of self which is the “i” deludedly believing in the illusion of the ego – edging god out – that it is separate from and even a counterpoint to the Most High; identifying itself with incompleteness and inadequacy, this “i” engages in unending “sisyphusian” efforts at self-improvement, not realizing that every added “strength”, “capability”, “knowledge”, “flexibility” and other “desired attribute or possession” brings with it its own seeds of frustration and despair…
the Light of God reveals that the prison of self does not really exist but is merely the strongly-held illusion of the deluded “i” which also does not really exist in Self;
we free ourselves from this delusion-illusion by being aware that we are part of and one with Self, by having a personal connection to and relationship with the Almighty, and by living in faith not by sight: that He created us in His own image – good, perfect, whole; that we have been redeemed despite our sinfulness, mercy abounds for us and all we need do is accept Jesus and His sacrifice as our salvation while repenting of our sins; and that when Jesus is alive in us, we live, move, walk in the charmed circle of His infinite Love, where all things we need are already present and where we grow in the guidance of the Holy Spirit…
