Every morning, there is a new characteristic of my true nature. It takes time to get away from the dichotomy of the ego, which is you and I separately. The knowledge inside of me opened to reveal that God is the unity or collective consciousness of us as a couple, group, tribe, clan, or every situation we are together as humans. There are only three vices holding us back, and they are sadness, anger, and fear.
It is okay to have sadness, but to constantly dwell on it is not good. It is a common emotion of people with, mostly, an empathetic disposition to the human condition, as I once was, but now accepting and working through in my life. Wisdom comes from experience, and every day there are new ones and new possibilities. A newborn virtue thrives in those who seek it. We become what we think about most, which hopefully is more loving.
The beauty of innocence and pureness in a young child is so inspiring to me, even though I did not have children of my own. If we all could develop such childlike love, even we as adults, will become Christlike, or what overall is Christ or Universal Consciousness. God is inside each of us but are limited beliefs and set ways are masking that part of us, which is divinity.
There is much work for me, yet, in my long life living inside of my head and becoming more of my heart, which I know is often more than I can manage emotionally. I tend to break down and cry for myself, other people, and just in the way the world has become.
I want to get back that innocence I lost too early in life, and we all have the capacity to do it if we keep our mind on what is above, a power greater than ourselves, whom we relate to as God.
Let me walk home to the place I belong, which is a yearning or calling of unconditional love.
