Funny the cyclical nature of existence. http://www.inzenity.org/blog/index.php/2003/08/20/take-the-risk-to-be-true/ sums it up well. I like and yet, also miss the person who I was, who wrote that blog entry. I looped through these same sentiments again, here. I can see a very obvious hole where I’ve not been true or real– and have been hashing it over [...]
There is a point where one must truly determine whether their life is truly worthwhile, or if everything needs to change. I am at that point. The intentional deadening of self through pointlessly addictive behaviors has lost all appeal. So has the majority of activities and goals that once seemed so important. Things that amused [...]
I genuinely feel like I’ve lost my voice. I am waning heavily on the purpose and fulfillment of my life right now– way too heavy on the work and mindless drudgery. I could lament about what I used to do and be- but have no real energy to devote to such. Ennui has set in. [...]
Posting for my own retention. I get the message, God… I am waiting patiently- and ask for your guidance on helping me see what it is you require from me… I will give you the treasures of darkness, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the LORD, the God [...]
We simultaneously know and yet forget these things. All of them. Intrinsically, we know that we are working towards the knowing of Ourself- through all of Our unknowing and incomplete pieces. Even the harm our particularly unaware pieces think they are plotting, ultimately works towards the whole– good or bad, right or wrong– all unnecessary [...]
Looking back upon the past decade, I wonder- for better or worse the lives I’ve touched the friends both made and lost… a life unexamined yet painfully scrutinized joy happiness pain sadness The balance that once kept me going disappearing gone Climbing back up on that horse waiting for another ride.
In celebration of the person I used to be, and will become again- a birthday wish to a dear friend:
Poignant and timely. I make no real time to do these things any more– simply REact instead. Ecclesiastes 7:12 For wisdom is protection just as money is protection. But the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the lives of its possessors. Since wisdom requires thinking, it’s an endangered species in this culture. It’s too [...]
WORKBOOK FINAL LESSONS – Introduction Our final lessons will be left as free of words as possible. We use them but at the beginning of our practicing, and only to remind us that we seek to go beyond them. Let us turn to Him Who leads the way and makes our footsteps sure. To Him [...]
WORKBOOK LESSON 352 Judgment and love are opposites. From one come all the sorrows of the world. But from the other comes the peace of God Himself. Forgiveness looks on sinlessness alone, and judges not. Through this I come to You. Judgment will bind my eyes and make me blind. Yet love, reflected in forgiveness [...]
WORKBOOK LESSON 351 My sinless brother is my guide to peace. My sinful brother is my guide to pain. And which I choose to see I will behold. Who is my brother but Your holy Son? And if I see him sinful I proclaim myself a sinner, not a Son of God; alone and friendless [...]
Another timely item. I can attest, first hand- that relying upon the importance and value of money in your life often will cause an upheaval of the circumstances that brought on the reliance. Heed Mr. Hillman’s lesson well— review your motives behind your actions, especially regarding this aspect of your life- if you find the [...]
WORKBOOK LESSON 340 I can be free of suffering today. Father, I thank You for today, and for the freedom I am certain it will bring. This day is holy, for today Your Son will be redeemed. His suffering is done. For he will hear Your Voice directing him to find Christ’s vision through forgiveness, [...]
A really timely one today— it sounds like I am being called to pray for guidance–a dn will take this to heart and act accordingly. “He gave him the plans of all that the Spirit had put in his mind for the courts of the temple of the LORD and all the surrounding rooms, for [...]
WORKBOOK LESSON 338 I am affected only by my thoughts. It needs but this to let salvation come to all the world. For in this single thought is everyone released at last from fear. Now has he learned that no one frightens him, and nothing can endanger him. He has no enemies, and he is [...]
WORKBOOK LESSON 326 I am forever an Effect of God. Father, I was created in Your Mind, a holy Thought that never left its home. I am forever Your Effect, and You forever and forever are my Cause. As You created me I have remained. Where You established me I still abide. And all Your [...]
I am reconciling my current mission statement with actual life direction- and need you, my READERS, to supply valuable feedback with regards to this examination.
First, what you think is White or Black, as I have said, is arbitrary. It may not seem arbitrary at all, however. A really serious player of the Game of Black and White totally convinces himself that White is, without a doubt, good and desirable, and that Black is, without a doubt, bad and undesirable. The truth, of course, is that good and bad are ways of thinking about things.
Original post here Judge Not, Lest Ye Be Judged by Keith M Contemplating this advice, I have come to see the following: # Criticism is a form of judgment. I would also include the labels placed on a person. # That judgment in this regard has a great deal to do with personal relationship issues, [...]
I’ve been doing some interior soul-gazing… In the name of Love, I have permitted myself to become limited. I have a larger boundary-less nature [allowing me the luxury of not being able to say 'no' all the time, alas] – whereas my companion has specific boundaries, and is quick to (re)enforce them when broken. To [...]
WORKBOOK LESSON 309 I will not fear to look within today. Within me is eternal innocence, because it is God’s Will that it be there forever and forever. I, His Son, whose will is limitless as is His Own, can will no change in this. For to deny my Father’s Will is to deny my [...]
WORKBOOK LESSON 301 And God Himself shall wipe away all tears. Father, unless I judge I cannot weep. Nor can I suffer pain, or feel I am abandoned or unneeded in the world. This is my home because I judge it not, and therefore is it only what You will. Let me today behold it [...]
WORKBOOK LESSON 297 Forgiveness is the only gift I give. Forgiveness is the only gift I give, because it is the only gift I want. And everything I give I give myself. This is salvation’s simple formula. And I, who would be saved, would make it mine, to be the way I live within a [...]
http://www.inzenity.org/blog/index.php/2003/06/30/more-realizations/ I really wrote something profound here. I’ve forgotten who I am– or at least, how to speak with that voice… This person is still me- it just never gets expressed in this media anymore….
WORKBOOK WHAT IS THE REAL WORLD? – Introduction The real world is a symbol, like the rest of what perception offers. Yet it stands for what is opposite to what you made. Your world is seen through eyes of fear, and brings the witnesses of terror to your mind. The real world cannot be perceived [...]
