Down and Out for 24 Hours

You guessed it, I did myself in.
Sickness and pain are usually a result of inner conflict or guilt or both.
When we are not at peace and alignment with our inner “God” voice, we become humanly vulnerable.
When we rise above the conflict and seek only to extend Peace to ourselves and others, we find peace.

Those who seek peace, only need to extend it.
So peace to my body, my mind and to all other minds.
May we choose peace everyday, rather than try to make sense out of emotional insanity.
May we learn to let go, when we know an emotional state is not good for us.

The work seems to be to set ourselves free so that we can be truly happy and a peace.
The work is letting go by undoing what we think we know and so carefully hold on to.
The work is saying what is true and doing what we know to do and then trusting in the highest outcome.
The work is aligning ourselves with Goodness and releasing all the rest.

I continue to learn as I take on the human experience of trying to please and then doubting my inner voice.
I recognize how we all find difficulty listening to all the opinions and grievances around us.
I understand how frustrating it can be when we make a dinner for a family of complainers.
I have occasional experiences which show me how ordinary unconscious life can be.

While I did not make dinner for complaining folks recently, I have in the past.
While I did not experience people openly judging me and my creations, I felt some displeasure.
While I do not hear folks being disrespectful in my everyday life, when it happens it can hurt.
So I understand and choose to make a difference in my life and yours to return to love.

Self serving folks have learned to survive and thrive, they must serve themselves first.
Relational folks have found a sense of wholeness and love in intimate relationships.
Social/global folks find meaning and purpose in serving the good of the whole.
All of us have some of each, but a predominant instinct occurs.

We may expect others to care about what we care about.
We may want others to share in the ways we share.
We may hope that those around us express respect, responsibility and cooperation the way we learned.
However, everyone is unique and perceives their place in the world differently.

Judging no one and accepting everyone is key to inner peace, happiness and health.
Being willing to be flexible, resilient, take nothing personally is key to staying in love.
I am a happy and willing learner, always awakening to continuous fogiveness and gratitude.
I am loving you as I let go of trying to understand, fix or figure out the insanity of humanity.
