Our misperceptions of what we see are the blocks to vision. They are the blocks to our awareness of Truth. These misperceptions take many forms. They are based on our interpretations of our past experiences. And when we see something new that we have no experience with we apply our misperceptions about what we have experienced to our new experience. It’s no wonder we sometimes think we are insane and we often find things confusing.
The Holy Spirit, sent to help us gives us reason. Reason is the tool that allows us to see beyond the error we have made in our perceptions. It is the sane voice that tells us that even though something may appear to be something; it is actually not that something and is something else entirely or maybe even nothing at all. The roadblock to peace may appear as substantial as a huge megalith of stone, yet reason can show us that it is really nothing at all, a figment of our imagination, an illusion.
In our efforts to make sense of something ourselves, we usually see only a small fraction of the picture and mistakenly think that that is all there is. But reason is there, held for us by Spirit, waiting for us to allow it to expand our sight to allow reason to show us the big picture, or better yet the whole picture. With the blinders of separation on, we see only a little bit and don’t see how that bit fits into the whole. But reason melts away the blinders and reinterprets for us, correcting the errors in our perception, correcting our sight to a more correct view. The judgment we hold so dear is often the defining limit in our perception. So perhaps we are finally ready to let Spirit show us how to see. Perhaps we can allow the blinders of judgment to fall away and let the whole picture be revealed to us. Perhaps we are ready to let the solidness of our perception errors melt away and realize there is no solidness to our roadblocks at all and we can happily and peacefully pass through them without effort. Hold only the peace and love of God in your mind and freely float along the path God has set for you. It is truly like being carried down a gentle path in a soft summer breeze. Let go, be, and enjoy.
