Awe of
the Mystery is the beginning of freedom.
Come
as a Child
A child comes as an ingénue to consciousness—with
heart and mind open, ready to be shown. If you are arrogant
or presumptuous, then your mind is closed and your heart
unavailable. If you want freedom, suspend
your adult assumptions. If
you find this hard to understand, return
to this saying: come
as a child.
Why can’t you
maintain the awareness you have already
tasted? Because you
close your heart in fear. You still believe you can be abandoned
and forsaken by an uncaring God. You believe with all your heart
that this has happened, will happen again, and could be even
worse next time. You point to horrors
in this world and say, see
it does happen. We say a loveless world is created by ignorance and fear. And,
yes, you have been one of the creators of it. When these forces
dissipate, when the curtains are parted and you allow Light
to enter, you will have
the world the way your loving heart
imagines it can be.
