Our natural state of mind is whole-mindedness. This is the One Mind, the Mind of God. Our attempt to see ourselves as separate is split-mindedness. Our belief in our idea of separation causes us to reject at least a part of our whole mind. What we really do is shut out our true mind and the awareness of our wholeness for we cannot split that which is whole. We turn our back on the wholeness we really are and place our trust in an illusory mind that is not real at all. Wholeness cannot be divided or parceled out piece by piece. Wholeness remains whole, so our attempt to be separate blocks our awareness of our wholeness. Wholeness can be shared and extended, but it cannot be split up. When we separate ourselves from the awareness of who we really are, we dissociate ourselves from ourselves. We’ve made up a false identity to take the place of our true identity.
Projection is our way of rationalizing and maintaining our separation. We don’t really like the state of mind separation we have made up, so we project our dissatisfaction and on others. It can’t be our fault we are miserable, so we project the blame on others. And so we heap more and more obscuring thoughts and ideas on each other. Is it any wonder we are dissatisfied? The pattern of blame and guilt just keeps building up within us. And we have no idea how to fix the problem. By fixating on our perceived differences we obscure the fullness of our equality with each other. We obscure the awareness of the abundant love and power within us that was placed there by the Creator.
The answer to our separation problem is extension. To extend is to share wholly. We are all created with all the love, peace, and joy of God within us and all of it is shared by all of us. Unless we have all of it, we have none of it. If we reject part of it we reject all of it. It is time for us to recognize the light within us. It’s time to recognize the light that never goes out, the light that shines in the darkness showing us the way to our true reality. Spirit is placed within each of us to guide us. Spirit is the plan within us that leads us back to the awareness of who we really are and always have been. We are all the light of the world. We all have a choice no matter where we are at or what thought system we are attached to at the moment.
The shift is as simple as making a different choice. It’s as simple as making a choice to follow Spirit’s guidance. Rather than projecting attack or blame on another, we have the opportunity to see peace in any situation. We have the choice to go to Spirit and ask for guidance in any situation. No situation is too large or too small for Spirit to give guidance. Spirit is patiently waiting for us to wake up. It’s waiting for us to choose to see peace instead of whatever we are seeing at the moment. The Realm of Heaven is waiting for us in that choice. No matter what road we have travelled down, we still have the simple choice to choose the path of Spirit as we are guided. Take a step back for a moment. Take a deep breath and look at what is going on in your mind. Is this where you really want to be? Again, ease up on yourself. Don’t take yourself so seriously and make a choice to see with the eyes of Spirit, think with the Mind of Spirit, and listen to the Voice of Spirit. The Realm of Heaven is right here within each and every one of us waiting to be recognized. Let the awareness of who you really are rise in your mind as it extends to you and then from you. The Realm of Heaven is here now within you. Say yes to it now and find the ‘you’ you’ve been looking for all along right there within you. Let it be so.
