i am
everyone i see,
everyone i think about.

i am the 99%
i am the 1%
and the 1/10th of 1%.

I am every political party.

Can i understand?

What would i have to be believing
to show up that way?

What would i have to be believing
to go to war?

What kind of camouflage do i wear?

If you "win",
you also "lose".
Every side is yours.

You can only defeat yourself.

You can never defeat your Self.

"If Christ appeared to you in all His glory,
asking you but this:

Choose once again
if you would take your place
among the saviors of the world,
or would remain in hell,
and hold your brothers there."

What would you be?

"For He has come,
and He is asking this."

There is no one who is not you.
How would you treat your very Self?

freeloader

i am a freeloader. is it true?

yes!
absolutely

everything is given (and I do nothing for it)

awareness, given
inspiration, given
nature, given
love, given
laughter, given
stillness, given--can't be bought,
no matter how much money you have or pay
or anyone gives you

people and experiences are given
thoughts, given
breath, given
air, given
sound, sensation, imagination, given

"life", given
"death", given

grace, every single bit of it

even "money"--I have never actually "made" any.

it is given
and i give it

loaded
with freedom...

i am a freeloader.
is it true?

no.
(freeloader: "a person who takes advantage of other's generosity
without giving anything in return")

It is not possible to take advantage of another's "generosity".
The universe is generous.
If someone gives, they give. Generosity is not a bargain to get.
The giving is FOR the giver.

It is not possible that I don't give in return.
Simply being is giving.
I am a mirror for everyone to see themselves. This is a priceless gift.
As I breathe in, I always breathe out.
Consciousness cannot be separate. Everything it is, is shared.
Inspiration is lived. It is shared in infinite and unseen ways.
The simple presence of awareness is the greatest gift for all.
Out of this all wisdom arises...the kindest, sanest and most loving action.
Awareness welcomes, invites, notices.
Receiving is a gift. It allows others the opportunity to give.

wait no more

all you are waiting for
is what you are not giving

all
you are waiting for

is what you
are not giving

give
now

withhold nothing

reserve nothing

herein lies the peace of God

all regrets
are about what you did not give

giving is receiving

you are only waiting for you
blame no one

there is no mountain
when you look down
from the top

you can only know
if it's a mountain
or a valley
as you take your first step

you can not know
if it's effort
or ease and grace
and joy!
until you do it

mind isn't there.
it cannot know;
it has no intimacy with a nonexistent future

it is pure nothingness,
disguised as something

just notice
as you are present,
giving all you are
how it feels to you

isn't that truly heaven?

wait no more,
simply give
all you are

give all
you are

give

I never want the thing itself,
but only what I think it can give me--
what I think I can get.

Wow

oh my Heart cries
for this desolate one,
who sees no one or no thing
but for "getting",

to ravish
and plunder

oh those delicate babies,
their skin so soft,
but a target

oh how very much compassion
this one calls for

walk softly
with this one

talk softly
with this one

this one in mortal danger
is out of his  mind
with fear

he needs
your love

he needs
your peace

Source

"The ingeniousness of the ego to preserve itself is enormous, 
but it stems from the very power of the mind the ego denies. 
This means that the ego attacks what is preserving it, 
which must result in extreme anxiety. That is why the ego never 
realizes what it is doing. It is perfectly logical but clearly insane."
ACIM Chap 7 VI.3


who's sleeping in my bed?

it can only ever be me

before you shoot the intruder,
before you shoot the baby,

notice
who is giving it life?

consider it's source

where did the idea of "you"
come from?

before you shoot "you"

consider the source.

what are images made of?

what is thought made of?

what is the source of thought?

before you pull the trigger

just consider

you don't need to worry

you don't need to worry if they cut the rope,
'cuz you are not sewn together

reality cannot be
cut apart,
and you cannot be broken

scissors in the perfect time,
sculpt the terrain
you walk upon

and what is "cut away"
is never loss,

only space
for the light to shine

as one dream goes
and another arrives,
the light always remains
in which to see

and Love
continues
to sprout

people should

People should project on to "me".

It's like a painting,
so they can see clearly
every detail.''

Just notice how many different people
"you" get to be.
Oh my goodness,
and you don't even have to do anything.
In fact, it doesn't really matter at all what you do.
(Just take a look at Jesus--and Katie :-))

People will only see themselves.

What am I?

your mirror,
a mirror,
pure and simple,
not personal

just consider,
what if that's all you are

a mirror,
reflections that come and go,
but never stay,
and never are actually you

what is a mirror
with no reflections?

is it even a mirror?

isn't it exciting?

look! here comes one now,
a reflection!

I can never be the image
in the mirror.

Just watch
the show,
here it is...
