The ego is like a shield we hold up before us. Think of it as a cartoon. There is no way it can possibly be you. Ego is a pretending to be separate, a pretending that separation is possible. Now look toward the immensity and power of our unity. Look toward the kindness and gentleness there. And look back at the crazy chaos and battle of ego. It truly is a battlebot who can only engage in battles imagined. Used on behalf of remembering our wholeness, no battles and victory are necessary. You “win” as everyone wins–simply by remembering what is actually here.
Everyone you call other helps you release out of layers of perceptual resistance, and for that reason you are grateful to them. You are also grateful to them for the wholeness and connectedness of their Being. The point is that you and all are already grateful. You have just covered over your gratitude with scenes of conflict and evaluation.
Notice what is already here amongst everyone, and you see that nothing Real can change and nothing Real needs to change. As you rest in this stillness and see this gratitude, love extends. There is no need to shoot something opposite or different out upon someone you call else. All is sufficient here, and all is sufficient “there” in their true being. All is truly well. Rest here, and you share this remembrance with all.
When you feel a burden has been imposed upon you, it’s actually a thought of burden you projected “out there.” See the trick, and relax out of the perception. It’s just a trick you have played upon yourself over and over and over again. The repetition can wind down and end. Make nothing more important that seeing the glory of the Being of everyone you call else, and you bring what is actually Here into the foreground.
The aspects of time and space can do an interpretive dance of suffering at your command, or they can each be portals through which light can shine. When you realize that light is not going to “get” you (because you are it) and that seeing an interpretive dance of suffering is not a crime, you allow the light to shine.
Where the burden feels very heavy, the message underneath is very loving. Remember that there is no reason to hold back a deeply loving message for all. When that is allowed to flow forth, sight of the burden disappears. What use is a burden when you no longer need a storyline of suffering to disguise your true identity and the true identity of those you call other?
Remember that you’re always reinforcing errors in the minds that seem like other, or you’re sharing correction with them. One leads to an almost unbearable ridiculousness of nothingness, and the other leads straight back to the sanity that all share. Do not deny anyone their share, and you have yours.
Healing is the recognition of what is Real and the willingness to see it shared by all. Accept the healing that is here today, and share it with all by seeing them as they always have been.
