Love's Beginning

To pass through the eye of the needle, you leave your opinions behind. You do not leave your opinions behind until you recognize those of your thoughts that are opinions. The more you recognize the only fact as Love, the more you see that any unloving thought is an opinion about what could be more real than love. Any unloving thought reflects a belief in illusion.

We invite you onto the broad back of a great and powerful bird called Protection. When you climb onto the back of this bird, there is nothing for you to do. The only thing you are in charge of is your state of mind. You are not in charge of the actions of the body. You are not in charge of the speech. You are only in charge of the state of mind–working with this state of mind and riding on this bird. It is very, very simple. There is no complexity for you to handle. The only complexity you will encounter is in the thought-tangles of the mind, and as you encounter these tangles, you can release them through willingness.

When you hit that next layer of egoic thinking, it can seem solid and impenetrable and thick. Emotions might be very strong. You will pass through this, and you will leave it behind. It is inevitable. As you see that your happiness cannot possibly lie in any separate form in this world, you stop blocking the flow of happiness.

Only in a story about time and space could any being seem to have an advantage over another being. Time and space are the haze. Time and space are the fiction. Time and space provide the ego with the means for chopping up perception. Time and space are no hindrance to Light. They can only cover over and distort the Light if you want them to perform this function for you.

The blazing sun is always present. The bright light of truth is always present. It never deserts you or anyone. If you ever feel any disquiet or uncertainty, you are looking away from this light, trying to make sense of shadows moving in the darkness.

In order for you to judge anything, it has to be separate and independent from you. This means that any judgment you make from the perspective of being a separate one has to be based upon a fiction. When you are showing up as a fictional character in a fictional story, where is the solid ground? What can be relied upon? What is real?

The song I mentioned

You set up a tremendous resistance. Whenever you feel resistance or tension of any kind, it is always an invitation. The tremendous resistance that you set up can be washed away. If you feel resistance, that means you believe that you will be washed away along with the resistance. Ask for help in seeing this is not so. Help is always available to all.

What would prevent you from experiencing complete happiness in this moment? The idea that…fill in the blank. Look at what you have used to fill in this blank. It is some specific, separated from all of the other specific and particulars, and you think this specific is a block of some kind. The entire idea that there are specifics and particulars, along with the idea that you can judge each one separately, assigning separate meanings and values to them–that is the block. That is what you can release.

You don’t need to fight anything. If you are experiencing a hallucination, then there is nothing real to fight. To get caught up in a fight is to be confused, but awareness will serve you. The only thing that can bombard you is your thinking, and your thinking can be brought under your control. This is the best use of effort–observation of when you are allowing ego to send you lies, and the ability to enter the state of willingness to have your perception corrected. Remember how simple this is, and ego’s invented complexities cannot fool you.
