balance

hi all,

this is a topic by request.

i am always happy to oblige requests....

Balance

what is more enthusiastic than the sun?

it never stops shining

it doesn't say

oh i've got have some balance in my life...

a little darkness now and then....

a little rest...

the nature of the sun is to SHINE!!!!

that's it's function!

and to fulfill our function

to express our nature

as fully as possible (not as balanced as possible) 

is our greatest joy!!!

do we really want to "balance"

our joy with a little sadness,

misery, lack, limitation...

tiredness now and then?  :-)))

do we really think 

a little insanity will improve 

our sense of well-being?

we would not

balance our fullness 

with lack!

instead we throw the scale out altogether

only limitless Joy

is our birthright

enthusiasm and moderation/restraint

are not the same   :-)

oh, just let me measure out

a little bit of love today....

some i will put in savings...for a "rainy day"

and these other coins of love I will share....

Love has no budget

to have,

give All to All

"to withhold the smallest gift

is not to know love's purpose." (t499)

fight or flight

fight or flight

our body wants to move

to do

to act

to release the tension

you are in danger!

you must move (chew, run, smoke, scream, something....to get away.....)

you are a body!

stop

it's only a thought

question it

a thought

afraid of being unloved

of being not love

I abandoned myself again

it feels sick

the denial of Truth

God

Love

what i am

does not feel good

it is a loving sign to us

that we are believing a mistaken thought

it is a call for correction

for recognition

of a mistake

how do we know it is a mistake/misinterpretation?

because it doesn't feel good

the wrong shoe size doesn't feel right

the wrong word choice in a sentence

doesn't make sense

the wrong part for your car won't work and isn't helpful

our mistaken thoughts 

don't work for us

don't make any sense

the circuit doesn't make a connection

the light is out

it doesn't feel good

to have any thought that lacks love

Truth is missing

and so

nothing is there

the view 

a black void

and we cringe

because we love the sun

and the flowers

and our friends

we would not run

from nothing

but

only stop

and remember

Love is here

always

vacation plans

can it be He will not enter

where He already is?

would you believe a lie

instead of God--Only Joy is possible

would you choose instead 

to believe that 

misery is your constant companion?

who travels with you?

tiny joe  :-)

or 

all the Universe sparkling with praise and delight

as far as you can see?

how would you spend your vacation?

in a dark cave

alone

or

 in paradise

surrounded by loving friends?

this instant

is 

it

right now

what would you believe?

what effects would you experience?

how much joy...

are you willing to accept?

effortlessly!

is this synonomous with damage...

or Infinite Joy?

what we  choose is our experience NOW!!!! everywhere in everything

no exceptions!

God wills we have Everything. Period.

Joy,

go live with

a dear spiritual being

for six weeks

share your deepest thoughts feelings questions

experience true intimacy

late at night

afternoon

morning

in pajamas

sweats

jeans

honeymoon with her and yourself

no fear

just a common love

and deepest desire for truth

GIFT: six weeks of healing friendship

and oh by the way, I'd' like to throw in some free dance classes for you, too...

and 

you will be paid to do this....

at the end of six weeks go to another nearby location

for solitude and  intimacy with yourself

you will teach only a few classes

there will be no distractions

you have complete choice about how you spend your time

listening

writing

reading

silence

expressing

what is true for you

biking, jogging, drawing...

ALL the TIME in the world!!!!!

and

you will be completely provided for:

all costs included

and 

we will also  buy your paintings

(no need to market or exhibit any further)

in addition

 you will be given a completely new home--

sparkling clean, fresh paint, new floors, brand new carpet,

brand new toilet, brand new wiring, and a thorough cleaning of everything in your home...;-)

housefire:

some eyes would see a call for love

some eyes would only have endless gratitude

how much joy are we willing to accept?

joy: us

loss of reality 

is impossible

the dreamer is changeless

loss of illusion/form

is certain

illusions are not real/true  in the first place

but substitutes/mistakes for Real Joy

we are deceiving ourselves

we can lose nothing but illusions/mistakes

as they go

only Joy is seen

and remains forever

what She has always been

Joy/Reality/Truth can never be lost

we are Joy,

not bodies

today we are joy

sitting on the couch

joy

talking to the cashier

joy 

planning our day

joy

in every thought

no matter what the illusion looks like

Hi! my name is Joy!!!!!

I love that I get to say that 

right out loud to everyone I meet!

and so

do we All!

terror

fear is a defense,

just like armor,

against Love

when you get close to Love

fear is sure to tell you to turn away

what a better way to keep you 

from something

fear wants your attention

go ahead 

give it your attention...

I'm terrified...

ok, be with it

so.... 

so... i'm terrified

so what....

ok

wow

now that I've done that 

I can go out and play

or get some work done...

All she wanted 

was for me to say hello,

to acknowledge her...

are you hurt?  no

has anything changed?  no

has terror had an effect on anything?   no

are you still the same person?  yes

everything in your life is exactly the same as before....is that correct?  yes

so...

fear is nothing to fear....is that right?

you simply thought about fear and felt it in your body, but... nothing actually happened?

do you think you can do that with happiness?

can you remember the happiest moment of your life...right now?

what happens to the fear...

when you think of happiness?

is it harder to think of happiness 

than fear?

God

this isn't about me

and

this isn't  about you

it's not about  right

or wrong

this

is

 about God

that's why we're here

i just want to get out of the way

and be that for you

and for me

and for everyone
