Joli, I thought the words from altarlight that
you
posted earlier were so beautiful that I set
about the
punctuation/rearranging process as soon as they
came in so I could show them to
Bob. I have taken
a few more liberties than you
did.
Below is my "rendition" (the
gospel translation
according to Ragna) of this song of truth, love
and joy.
I love it!
(Altarlight is probably going to croak when he
sees all this ... ;-)
Laughing!!!!

At some point in one's life we MUST see the seeming needs of "another" as our own. Not like our own; AS our own. This
tiny
willingness to see begins the 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.
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. 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.
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
the dream to disappear. It is your belief that makes it seem to 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.
Your willingness grows beyond all
possible reciprocation. It shines
both inwardly and outwardly together as one light, one direction,
the creation 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. You are that word; the heaven of its continual birthing.
Born again and again and again and again in you, from moment to moment.
The moments coalesce and overflow into one another. You find that not
only do you want it, but you cannot contain it. You automatically share it,
shine it, and say it; and cry it out to all around you.
My word has gone forth and cannot return unto me void. Unto ME,
your own self, spirit within, shall every knee bow and every tongue
joyfully confess. Not believe, but see, 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. To shine -- to know the
flow and the
light -- is to see as you are; 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.
Look at yourself, perhaps not intellectually knowing what to look for;
but
watch for the flow, the light and the shining nature of the call
of spirit within
as it gives you confidence that you are looking at something real, and
that you do see it! And therefore know 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.
