Once you have the peace that surpasses understanding then what happens here means nothing. Mission is accomplished. There is no going back. The body and mind cannot any longer help or advise. But love can still make plans and have goals and bid action. The work now becomes attuning to where grace guides.

Yes indeed wonderful. Salvation is the dropping of every grievance that was blocking the light. Most of us are wielding grievance every moment. Something is wrong here, there is someone bad present and I am suffering because of it. Grievance is my store-house of complaints ready to whip out and wield. It is about us and nothing to do with who we direct it to. Dropping grievance lets the light of true perception shine. Everything is flawless and so the one who sees is flawless too. Salvation is accomplished. What to do next is to implore ceaselessly: What would you have me do? Where would you have me go? What would you have me say? And proceed accordingly.

Yes. God is smart. He gives us lots of paths. The ancients discovered meditation from sex. That is how tantra was discovered. The peak gives a peek. Good meditation is not so different from good sex. The practice becomes to extend the bliss into every waking moment. Awareness, empathy and presence replacing selfishness, vulnerability and reactivity.

God's will is unimproveable. He even coins words out of thin air.

The reality underneath the hallucination. Take each first letter.

Survival and awakening are antithetical and exhaustive (meaning there is nothing else) - contraction and expansion, exclusion and inclusion. Truth accommodates, unifies and sees benefit in both. My claim is everyone is happy being evil to stay alive another day but let's just keep it quiet and uncontemplated - for example randomly blowing up schools in the name of might. To that end, another day could be my awakening. Oh happy day! Thus evil leads me to Truth. QED

Glad to see that you are amenable and gracious. The mind is awesomely powerful. What helped me learn to take change of the mind is A Course in Miracles. I commend it to you. For example one of its lessons is, I am not upset for the reason I think, I think people are upsetting me, right? No. I have decided I want to be upset and so I choose to project that and blame someone. My mind does it all. It fixes the whole world exactly as we want to see it. We have made it and likewise we can unmake it. So how to be a good. First gain control of the mind rather than being its slave as everyone is. The course has 365 lessons to help one per day. Once the mind is brought to heel, it will tell you what to do. This is called divine guidance. It is God pulling the strings and using you as his instrument. This is the only good there is.

This is because we believe actions make a difference. The only power in the universe is mind. You can't change anyone. You can heal everyone. Being social is licking each other's wounds. The sick contaminating the sick and all trying to feel better keeping each other in prison. We need to wake up.

here are big girl and baby girl

Meditation is to hang out with the unconditioned me and post-meditation bring that forgiving presence and healed perception to all I encounter.

I can't change the world. I can heal the world. They may not feel they are healed and thereby not change. So the world won't change. Or maybe they will. Not in my hands. I will heal no matter what. You first. Since that is how I heal me. How do I heal you? Simply change what I think about you. Mind is the only power. Action profits nothing or no one.

Peace is the truth. Everyone knows but buries it. Because ego says if I am peaceful people will slaughter me. I better stay on a war footing. Truth is, peace is best. Peace is ever present just needs to be remembered each moment. Only I disturb it with mad interpretations while going about my day.

Yes you are right. That's why Truth=Love is important. If you are not aligning with Love, you are off track. Love needs to be factored in every moment and that needs serious work as Leo always points out. God's Love is a higher love than ours.

If what I wrote resonates with anyone and you want more details, read The Disappearance of the Universe. One of its claims is that forgiveness will save you many lifetimes of suffering and toil. The book gives a gentle introduction to A Course in Miracles.

One day the universe WILL self destruct. Just a matter of time. What happens here is nothing to do with Truth. What we are is Truth. We return to Truth either now or later. It is inescapable. Sooner seems better from a human perspective. but doesn't matter. Interestingly enough, God has provided an escape hatch as I discussed above - forgiveness.
