We spend endless minutes, hours and days watching, noticing, assessing, judging, analyzing, labelling, grasping to or resisting anything, anyone and everything outside and appearing external to ourselves and yet when it comes to the inner world of thoughts and beliefs we avoid looking at them in fear and that fear hangs around.
Maybe when we recognize and acknowledge that whatever appears externally is instigated from our beliefs and trust of thoughts, there will be an opportunity of real freedom, fearlessness, of lasting peace, unlimited and unconditional Love. Until then we will question and look outside ourselves for answers and the happiness that has always been Beyond how we perceive ourselves and the world.
We have been habituated by patterns of external busyness ignorant of the fact that those patterns of false i-dentification all originate in beliefs rooted in the past. We are not what we thought and not what we believed ourselves to be. A “belief” is simply a “an illusory thought taken seriously.”
What have we and what are we doing to ourselves, to Life and Love? We have become unoccupied islands controlled by illusory thoughts with no reality. Life and Love have been painted over with unrealistic images of confusion, lostness, separation, and conflict. We are in a self proclaimed war that we are destined to lose to our belief. There can be no winner when we are in an unrecognized battle within ourselves that we avoid by projecting outwards when in Reality there is no “out there.”
We believe there is no time and that there is so much to do. This image i believe is i, me, is responsible for a lot and many; i have religion, politics, a job, family, hobbies, organizations, businesses, goals and dreams so to stop and look Beyond my story and life, no way. This train is rolling full throttle and honestly i am too busy for Love, to busy to stop, look or notice how belief has manipulated “a version of i.” i have always settled for temporary, changing and conditional happiness and love and that is just life and who i believe i am.
What is it about this illusion of ourselves that we don’t want to expose? It is an image of belief of unreality, an illusion and a facade of unhappiness, separation, loss, conflict and loneliness. We are not what was thought, not what was projected, not what we have believed ourselves to be. A “belief” is simply “an illusory thought taken seriously.”
IT IS TIME AND IT TAKES NO TIME, TO TAKE THE BLINDERS OFF, TO SEE CLEARLY, TO OPEN TO A REALITY OF UNLIMITED, UNCONDITIONAL PRESENCE IN THE PERMANENCE OF LOVE.
IT IS TIME TO LAUGH AT THOUGHTS AND TO LET THE STORY OF BELIEF GO. TO RECOGNIZE THE “relationship between thoughts and who we have believed ourselves to be.” TO RECOGNIZE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE UNREALITY, THE MEANINGLESSNESS OF “thought/belief,” and THE REALITY OF THE ETERNAL ESSENCE OF LOVE.
WITH THAT RECOGNITION, the meaningless remains meaningless. The names, labels and differences all slip into what is meaningless. WHAT REMAINS IS A PRESENCE, AN AWARENESS, AN ETERNAL CONNECTION WITH A REALITY BEYOND OURSELVES. 💕
The Love Beyond Belief Workshop is now available as a recorded, at-home experience online. It grew out of live gatherings and experiences of practical application about how our past beliefs shape, hinder and block our experience of Life and Love.
If it feels timely for you or you know of others who might be curious or ready to learn and shift out of belief, the link is below. When accessed, the recording can be paused, revisited and or rewatched as often as you like. We have intentionally kept the cost down to make it as reasonable and accessible as possible.
