The veil of tears/ free will

[lostinstrangeworld]

What is the true meaning of free will? How much do we know when we are born? Do we all have a conscience? Do our circumstances mold us? If we are not taught a skill or have not acquired the wisdom, then surely we are limited; not in control?

How can we judge another when we have not walked in their shoes?

Does sadness lead us to madness.....compelled by the ebb and flow and the tide....into the shadow?

Is there any such thing as "right" and "wrong" or are we simply led......misled by this veil?

Have we forgotten who we truly are?

Are all dark acts really a reaction of confusion....of madness.....and longing.....to return once more- to who we truly are? Because we realize this world is mad.....and something isn't right?

Who is free?

Perhaps there is only love. Perhaps only love can set us free.

Perhaps.....there is no real evil except ignorance itself; a desensitization; an amnesia of our true nature- unity with all of life.

"Evil"

What happens when people are so damaged, by all the things that may have happened to them during their childhood/ lifetimes that they can't fix themselves?

Who will fix them then?

What if no-one tries to?

What if they want to make things change, but don't know how- like a skill they don't possess such as driving a car?

Who will stop the rain/ pain for them? Will they find the switch to turn on the light in that dark, dark room?

Who knows what makes a person into someone who wants to harm others intentionally. Who knows what makes people like that. Did life love and nurture them the way they needed, to be feeded.....when they were born into this world as new and pure as all God's innocence.....who stole it away from them?

Return to innocence.....

The only real evil is ignorance itself........


Quote from Ekhart Tolle:

Ego is no more than this: identification with form, which primarily means thought forms. If evil has any reality - and it has a relative, not absolute, reality - this is also it's definition: complete identification with form - physical forms, thought forms, emotional forms. This results in a total unawareness of my connectedness with the whole, my intrinsic oneness with every "other" as well as with the Source. This forgetfulness is original sin, suffering, delusion. When this delusion of utter separateness underlies and governs whatever I think, say and do, what kind of world do I create? To find the answer to this, observe how humans relate to each other, read a history book, or watch the news on television tonight.

If the structures of the human mind remain unchanged, we will always end up re-creating fundamentally the same world, the same evils, the same dysfunction."

(I wrote this a while ago. At the time, the thoughts seemed to flow- perhaps I was being guided?)


We must learn to walk in other people's shoes; understand that we are not all separate. we are all connected; Mother Earth and ALL her creatures. To hurt another is to hurt yourself. Ghandi said that if we all follow the belief "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth", the whole world would go blind.


Loving only those who are kind to you won't set us free. Loving your enemies will.

I feel that the ONLY REAL EVIL IS IGNORANCE ITSELF; a desensitization; an amnesia.....from our true nature which is unity with all of life.

We must learn to find the truth with the help of our Higher S-elf. We must be discriminate. Listen to the quite voice within; the glow of our heart.

We must learn to understand ourselves, to fully love ourselves; balance the yin and yang within. Accept it, harmonise it.

To know that we are all One and made of the same stuff. What separates us is we each have our own perspective based on experiences; the angle we view life from; the things we've seen and experienced to shape the way we think. Each of us has our own ILLUSION.

We must learn to understand ourselves and others. To walk 1000 miles in someone else's shoes. Understand the yin and yang that is in everything. Harmonise it. Harm.. no harm.

This is how we stop HATING, and start evolving; loving. Don't get frustrated with others you meet along the way who cannot see the things you do and don't have that illumination.

They will find their own way in their own Time. Not before they are ready. It must come from within.

If we listen to the spirit of our Higher S-elf, we will know the right Time to speak and what to say; how to say it in a way that particular person will understand.

The eyes we look out into the world with; this is our own window to our journey through space and Time; our own trip.

Eternal Truth comes from the Eternal light.

We each have something to share; every one of us. We are like a collection of various precious jewels linked together on a necklace. We all bring out the beauty in each other. (From a Tibetan saying). We are all unique in some way; we all have our own special kind of beauty.

This is a beautiful planet with beautiful creatures. Humans could be too, when they hearken to the Spirit of higher consciousness. If only more of us could love the Earth, and her creatures (including us!) more.

Oh, we humans could be so much more! We have a special gift- we are HEALERS.......we can CREATE!


Love, Light and Blessings

Our mind is a matrix
Our faces are a mask
Our souls dwell within
Our eyes are the looking-glass
