When the world we have co-created seems chaotic, unfair and fearful, we have a choice. We can live out the anxieties and even embellish them, or we can get busy creating a different reality for ourselves. What we’ve set in motion often has to make its mark on our lives, but even as the pain intensifies, if we release our grip on suffering we can begin to turn our lives toward a less fearful path. Recently, a Florida jury brought into bold relief what we humans can create out of fear and a belief in our separateness. The more we see ourselves as separate, competing parts of this universe, the more we act out our perceived differences. Rumi once wrote,” Out beyond wrongdoing and right doing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there.” Our perceptions of right doing and wrongdoing keep us separated and fearful. We desperately seek ways to feel love, to feel special in some way. We create an “other” that hopefully will set us apart as better and therefore more lovable. Other-ness is an illusion that burdens us with continual efforts to prove our worth and significance. At the core of our being is all the love we need. There is a field where Spirit breathes, where love erases the boundaries we have wrapped ourselves inside of. We are free when we stay in the present moment of peace, and know that we are spiritual beings, ONE POWER bathed in the love of All-That-Is.
