Life is an etch a sketch. We create our perspective of reality and allow the follies of our emotions and misinterpretations make it out to be what we THINK it is.
This is what got me out of Moism and let me be free. To embrace the church view of duality; evil vs good, wrong vs right, heaven vs hell, us vs them, etc. etc. and etc., there is NO POSSIBILITY of peace. Once I let go of the taught impact and could see it with forgiveness for my own thoughts, my own unconscious guilt that I was using as the filter to create fear, then things looked different.
This life isn't a test, a battlefield for your soul! It's a dream, with monsters, death, anger, pain, killing, separation, and anguish. These be-LIE-fs are what keep us in pain and fear. When you, (I), forgive these thoughts and open myself up to higher levels of being, (or NON thinking), I reconnect with the truth of WHAT I am, (the same cookie dough YOU are made of), which is love. We are all wanting the same thing; connection, freedom, unity, the return to our source and the very core of our existence.
Can peace be found in this life? Only if you are willing to see it for what it is. It's not real. It's a game. An answer to a question of what would it be like to experience something else. With this perspective, when my eldest son died of cancer last year, I could be free from the fear of never seeing him again, would he or I be "worthy" to be reunited again, or any other hogwash religious dribble about judgments of gOD or pay up and secure your spot in heaven.
The other thing I have learned is to trust the experiences that come my way. They have but one purpose, to lead me BACK to WHAT I am and out of the WHO I THINK I AM! It's the entity of our persons that creates the separation. If I trust and let go, then a whole new world shows up and with the lessening of the horrific grip of fear, peace begins to make itself manifest.
It's been an eleven year journey so far since I made this discovery and it just keeps getting better all the time.
