altarslight wrote this, however, it was in conversational style on the internet, writing one phrase per line, this printed out putting all the lines together, one after another. So, I added some punctuation. I apologize altarslight if it is not the punctuation you would have used... In any case, here it is again:
...at some point in one's life, they MUST see the seeming needs of "another" as their own. Not like their own, AS their own. And this tiny willingness to see, begins their restoration - for it is the willingness to be led. It will grow in its own way according to the denial we cling to. It cannot override our desire to fear and cling to lies. But it has been given permission to show us through our brothers, through the dream itself. And thus the dream, all of it, and the ego, all of it...becomes a way to perceive and also look beyond perception....a savior. The dream is neutral, the ego is neutral, even war is neutral. It is only allowed to appear in order for us to find our willingness and allow our true self to reveal itself around and through the dream. Shining like a light through the cracks in our poorly constructed dreams. Increasing our confidence by its faithful gentle call to us. And we gradually remove our hands from our eyes and admit what we see is there, can be seen, is seen, and is what we want and have always wanted more than anything else...and then we see that there simply is nothing else...and the dream is gone. Do not despair that it takes longer than you believe you want, for it is your belief that makes it take longer. Belief is there specifically to cling to error. The error it clings to is "not looking." But as the light shines in and finds in you that tiny willingness, it begins to ignite the understanding that what it is shining upon and lighting up in you, is the same light that is shining into you. And your willingness grows, and beyond all possible reciprocation, it shines both inwardly and outwardly together...as one light, one direction....the creation and creating itself. As the light shines everywhere, every way together....it is heard as the word of god, a joyous sound, for it literally is rejoicing....the entire creation rejoicing together as one love, one word, forever settled in heaven. And you are that word and the heaven of its continual birthing. Born again and again and again and again in you, from moment to moment. And the moments coalesce and overflow into one another. And you find that not only do you want it, but you cannot contain it and you automatically share it, and shine it, and say it, and cry it out to all around you. My word has gone forth and cannot return unto me void. That unto ME.....your own self, spirit within....shall every knee bow and every tongue joyfully confess. Not believe, but see, and know and love and confess that we are one god. A virtual river of life. It is simple; we love each other. As jesus said, love ye one another. We look at each other as one. You as me. I as you. And somehow, we know....that this is true, because it resonates beyond the feelings it evokes and causes us to shine. And to shine and know the flow and the light, is to see as are you. For your questions are openness, rather than questions of lack and refusing. Just say that to yourself, with exactly the same reason, for it is true. And look at yourself, perhaps not intellectually knowing what to look for, but the flow and the light and the shining nature of the call of spirit within.... gives you confidence that you are looking at something real, and that you do see it, and that your vision will eventually unblock and defeat the imagery of perception. But it is not a battle. It is a yielding to the call to look, to know love, and to share it. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> $9.95 domain names from Yahoo!.
