Snookermind II
Why do people fear the truth? If their belief systems become threatened, they assume the defensive posture. Hands held out in front of them, arms crossed across the chest, cock the hammer of the peacekeeper, (as if peace could be kept...we don't keep peace, but enter its fragrance in abandoned surrender)
People fear Truth. Actually withdraw from it. Make their own worlds out of Nature, not knowing it is Nature that is the Wisdom of Truth, all of Nature. I include the planets, the solar systems... constellations, the universe... uni-verse.
If something challenges our belief, the belief struggles for its truth...wiggling around, frustrated. Truth challenges the belief system... the belief shrivels into Consciousness... words obscure Truth.
Truth - the silence beyond mind
We have built walls around us to fence in our beliefs. Written books that have tried to convince us of our beliefs, created monetary systems that labor us, Gods that we are taught to Fear as God-fearing people. As long as we feed our fears we disallow ourselves Freedom to realize our True Nature, our authenticity, our embrace of the God that we fear so much.
We are living at odds with each other due to Fear. We are destroying our goodness, our health, our 'god-given' gift of Freedom, to be completely what we came in existence to become. Why would God give us anything less than perfect? God is perfection. God cannot do anything but with total abandoned Freedom from which the Divine Heat of Love emanates. Celebration of our potentiality, our gift to live completely, fully, wholly... Holy we become.
~~Happy Easter~~

Note: This is also our son's birthday, Nathan, who as many of you know is our Down's Syndrome boy who is celebrating his 33 birthday today... a grand achievement given the many health issues he has had throughout his life. His birthday wishes are a large box of crayons, a ten-count box of mixed color markers, a large spiral bound sketch book (where he colors with his markers and crayons) and a special tee-shirt and some birthday money so he can do some shopping. He'll also be having his birthday cake (baked by me and frosted by his mom) and I'm cooking up a turkey with dressing and mashed potatoes w/gravy and whatever else he may want to go with that. We're also having our friend, Cactus Mary, the soap maker over as it is also her birthday. Our day will be full and fun. I hope yours will be the same...
