An intelligent study of anger/defensiveness vs. defenseless, Valentine. I can remember one time, right after I quit smoking, I must have been seething with anger as I happened upon a child and shoved him out of the way. Anger/ego takes over our mind when allowed and pushes out the pain we're feeling, the separation from good (God), and the frustration of seeming to be in the wrong place (not heaven). Many thanks for this post and reminder that all pear robberies are senseless, merely a reflection of the lack of love we're feeling. Namaste and blessings!
Thanks Bob, also for your honesty, I really appreciate that. We all do these thongs and sometimes we do not even notice. But the guilt we feel about it is sometimes also unconscious, but it lingers on and piles up, until it just becomes unbearable. That is why the Course is so great isn't it, it helps us to forgive others and ourself. Guilt is not necessary, we can just correct our mistakes and let the Holy Spirit be in charge. Lots of love to you🥰
My dear Valentine your article, as it always does, took me through a self observatory journey of brutal honesty and loving conclusion. Recognizing and facing our ego’s voice is the very first step into dissolving the illusion and letting the truth flow through. Let us all recognize the stolen pears as what they are. An illusion. And let us all by recognizing this illusion let it transform into reality. Forgiveness brings the “real” into our world. The light of who we are! 🍐🌟😊
Amen to all of that my dear Bettya! I love it when you say 'brutal honesty', it is really what is needed indeed and we do not have to stay with the guilt about what we see in ourselves if we are that honest, because we have all the help we need! And that we we become lighter and lighter with every step that we let the illusion go! LOVE and a hug, 🥰 Valentine
