What is perception?

“Reality is unset jello.”

Lynne McTaggart

It is as though you have an eye
That sees all forms
But does not see itself.
.
This is how your mind is.
.
Its light penetrates everywhere
And engulfs everything,
So why does it not know itself?

Foyan

However deep your
Knowledge of the scriptures,
It is no more than a strand of hair
In the vastness of space;
.
However important appears
Your worldly experience,
It is but a drop of water in a deep ravine.

Tokusan

“Resist not evil”
is one of Jesus’ greatest teachings.

Genuine acceptance of this teaching to balance our global consciousness requires evolving a consciousness of a fairly large representation of humans — that each selects to practice the compassion necessary to love in spite of negativity. We commit to acceptance of any negativity, inside and out, to turn this over to love — in other words we begin to do our best to be unconditionally compassionate and loving — actually caring as best we can to be our best and see the ego no longer as at all attractive and capable. God’s will we know is love… and in practice, by surrender, we do our best to be love too. Each of us that arrives in the higher vibrations of love is feeding dozens… and so, the kingdom of God begins in one heart and God’s light shines forth to give His strength to others.

If you have some time, just contemplate God’s love. Just take a few minutes and allow His love to shine from your heart. Take that inner peace to school, to work, and back home with you. Watch what happens as this is a practice over time, in a week, a month, and in a year. If we allow Him, the kingdom of God is manifest through our loving hearts.
