80 ) - I STILL HAVE A DREAM

fallintoreality@hotmail.com

Just as Martin Luther King J. unabashedly perservered in the name of Love--Just as Jesus, teacher and man and prophet understood that unconditional Love was the core of existence, just as the Buddha laughed as the veil of illusion came down--so I speak out.
It is time for us to awaken to the truth.
Many will say that in order to be more loving we must first stop being judgmental. We must be that "unconditional loving being". We must stop giving power to the "ego". We must stop hating and blaming.
Is this not just more to condemn?
We cannot keep leaving these vital stones unturned and hope still for the peace and love we so desire to come true.
Everything is a belief. You believe the "ego" causes you to seperate and experience pain? How does it feel to believe something that is PART of YOU makes you feel pain? Perhaps more pain?
How does it feel to believe that the government is responsible for the war? Angry? Hostile? War-like within yourself? How does it feel to be adding to this war instead of understanding it?
How does it feel within you to blame something outside of you every single day for your discomfort, your unhappiness, your confusion, your anger, jealousy, your lack of understanding, you fears, your sense of injustice?
How does it feel to believe you are at the mercy of your circumstances??
Does this make any sense to you?
Do you hear this, feel this, does this resound not only in your thinking mind but your feeling, intuitive, core?
We have had many people tell us (and then we preach the same sermon)that to be happy you must first love yourself. Great! But how??
We are all innocent to a new way until we know a new way.
The old ways-- anger, righteousness, blame, war--the OLD way--
No revolution in this way.
No REAL change.
Real Change comes from the INSIDE out not the OUTSIDE in.
It is time to take responsibility in a LOVING WAY for the world and how we perceive/experience it.
YOUR outer world is made up of your inner projections! Fancy that!
Amazing since we've been entertaining the oppostite truth as Reality for hundreds of years!!
Clean the projector and you will have a clearer view of peace! Of how to actively and lovingly and joyfully and successfully have that DREAM!
I have a dream.
You have the same dream.
The circumstances may look different because you are unique. Like the traditional Native Americans, we all have a place in this world where our unique gifts and talents not only make us feel alive and passionate, but help to serve and support the dreams of others.
This is an incredible experience, this life. This strange, beautiful life. But the dream is always fueled by the same flame--you, me, them over there. Love. Passion, Freedom. It doesn't matter what you call it. It could be Buddha or Christ or Krishna or Nature or the Soul. it doesn't matter. It is the DREAM. And I want it. You want it. It is WANTED desperatly.
We need to reclaim it as ours.
We need to remember it was never lost.
We need to wake up and see what is really true.
The Dream is real.
It always was.
Sincerely,
Heather P.
