Last week we talked about the first law of chaos; the belief that each of us has our own truth and they are different. Now we look at the second law of chaos; the belief that each of us must sin, and therefore is deserving of attack and death. Can this really be so? If we take a good look within our thoughts we will find something like this. We may even be willing to forgive those around us, but we often are the most unforgiving toward ourselves. We believe that we fall hopelessly short of God’s will for us. We also believe we can never get close to making it up to God or ourselves.
What we don’t see or believe is what God sees and knows; we are perfect just as we are and no mistake can ever change us from the holy One we are with God. When we believe the mistaken ideas we have about ourselves and continue to reinforce those ideas in our minds, we create and strengthen the illusion that we are separate from God and our true Oneness with God. We don’t believe it could be possible for God to love us as we “see” ourselves. Think what this mistaken belief seems to do to our relationship with God!
So now we fear God and each other, an idea made sensible by our mistaken beliefs. So sensible that it appears real to us. We now project our own irrational thoughts on God, thinking God must see us as we have mistakenly believed ourselves. What a winding path this way of thinking takes us down. So chaotic is this path that we fail to see God’s presence dwelling deep within us. We fail to see God’s light and love radiating from our true being, somthing that can never be lost or changed.
God never fails to see our true essence. Our innocence, purity, light, and love is what God sees and celebrates each moment. God has given us the tools and the assistance of the Holy Spirit to help us see differently, to help us see the truth about ourselves and each other. We are asked simply to let go of our thoughts, whatever they may be, and let Spirit teach us. Let Spirit show us the light that wells up from within us and shines brightly for all to see. As we let ourselves see and feel that light within us we find the truth of who we really are, One with God, each other, and all of Creation. Celebrate with God and know who you really are.
