Forgiving the illusion:

so much based upon a thought, our entire world made up in terms of thinking of values that are seldom even considered as immaterial form, without true inherent meaning other than those we’ve assigned. This is the nature of judgement, we’ve literally split our lives into sections of approval and the things that we’re opposed to, creating a world that pits those who believe similarly to us against others who might simply hold a different point of view.

our judgments create an insular world.

keeping others separate.

and even splitting ourselves into fragments of identity.

of course it’s an illusion, we’re prisoners of a though system that doesn’t have any real and solid bars and we’re always free to release ourselves from their imaginary hold. The key is always forgiveness, just forgiving ourselves for believing an illusion, releasing every notion that we are separate from others in any true or meaningful ways.

that only a single thought of separation has ever kept us apart.

we forgive the illusion.

and then noticing how our thoughts have changed…

we welcome each other home.

Peace, Eric
