gratefulness

I just spent some days in gratefulness. i needed to become 51 to be humble enough not to complain about “being here” or not having more of this and that. Does the message of Brother Steindl-Rast contradict the Course In Miracles, when it said yesterday “The world i see holds nothing that i want” and today “beyond this world is a world i want.”? Or is not the other way around: Each moment of gratefulness opens our hearts to the real world and restoring to our awareness which was given us already?                        http://youtu.be/3Zl9puhwiyw

Open up to this moment!

no resistance, no hell

The Way Back Home

This world seems to veil the Gate of Heaven, but how is this possible, if Heaven is not a place, nor a condition, but simply the true state of wholeness, and therefore infinite? Illusions on the other hand feed on rejection, but in the light of acceptance they must disappear. Furthermore even we become illusions, if we oppose appearances, because we loose our state of wholeness. Escaping limitations is therefore a tricky thing to do, because the mere attempt to escape a thing reinforces separation in one´s minds. The surrender of resistance against what is seems to be the only other way to go. The direction of the path depends on one´s definition of salvation, either as escape or integration.

Reaching Wholeness

If we could accept the word we see as part of our mind, we would feel underneath it the incredible blissful state the One Mind we all share. Escape from our condition of separation is therefor only possible AFTER dropping our defenses. This is also true concerning sickness and healing. Only by not resisting being sick for a moment, we can wash through the intensity of it to the other side, experiencing wholeness again.

The Exercise of Salvation

Salvation is asking us to step aside and not to defend our position in time and space anymore, but letting the emptiness of the universe pervade the place, where our body seemed to be. This request even goes further by asking us to identify

 with source energy and therefor to let go our special position of limited consciousness. The Course calls this forgiveness. Spirit identification connects us with all our brothers and sisters and all of creation. To express the spirit in form is called the dance of life.
