It is all about love. Love as we know it has little to do with the love from which we "came". Love is right where we are; we have only to become aware that we never could leave it, and it appears as if from somewhere else. But we had it always. It is ours forever.
There is nothing outside us...what we call "God" is all around us...only this. Nothing else is real. Look for God, and God has always been; do not look for God, and God still remains, and we still remain as created. God remains unchanged.
We make images, call this "seeing". It is not seeing. What we think is real is unreal, and what we think is unreal is real. What we call "God" did not create the world. The world is unreal, and nothing unreal has any reality.
We are one Self, dreaming of separation, isolated from even ourselves...the selves we made to hide in our fear. When we wake up in the morning, we think we are no longer sleeping, but we are still sleeping.
Love protects us, but it protects us from only what has no existence. Love knows there is nothing but love. Love protects simply by being what it is. Love did not create a world that falls into dust, and dies.
It seems strange only because we keep hold of our fear, no longer recalling our true state of perfect love. Ask a question, and calmly await the answer. The answer was given long before you, we, were "born". Time fell away the instant it came into our mind. It is gone, we just keep holding on to our memory of it. It is not so that we cannot see these things. These teachings are not "mine", they are ours.
The peace that reveals itself could never leave us. I awoke long ago, and went home. Herein lies peace, but let us understand, "long ago", and "went home" are in our terms. In truth, we never left, and this perfect instant is the only time there is.
The love is real.

Cary,
Your writing reminds me of the philosophical question, "Do we exist or are we only someone's dream?" Interesting thinking. There is more in here to ponder.
It seems we have some bases for agreement in spirituality. Without some measure of believing how can we savor the moment we are given?
Peace, Jerry
Thanks, Jerry. I believe the reality (not saying I necessarily know what that is, except love) of what we are exists.
I believe everything in physical terms is made up, like a child with imaginary friends in an imaginary world. The difference is the child knows it's make believe.
Cary,
That is an interesting perspective. I'll have to give that some more thought. That all physical is made up is a touch one to take on for me as a science type.
And for children, I think children do at some level understand their make believe friends are not real. But on many levels is not that a reality the child creates for him/herself? Does that creation not make the friends very real and outside make believe for the child?
Peace, Jerry
Good morning:
It is real to the child (it was for me). I knew I was making it up, but it still was real to me. Yes.
Science keeps toying with the idea that the physical world is our collective projection of mind; the scientists can't quite accept that mind comes first, that mind forms what we think of as matter. But they will.

Cary,
Quantum physics is approaching the way you propose for matter. There is much we don't understand in the universe these days.
Peace, Jerry
Closer...closer... :)
That's what I meant when I said science keeps going around and around.
Oh. We are the dreamer.
And I think it's awesome that you ran for Congress.
Cary,
Thanks. The campaign was the hardest and greatest accomplishment of my life. Political activism continues even today. There is so much work yet to be done...
Peace, Jerry
