Letting go of misery: How to free ourselves from the irritations of this world and realize boundless love

Journal of: 2022-02-19

Thoughts for this day:

Slept in and found it difficult to get doughnuts for a friend this morning.   We took the dog along for a visit and at the last minute he jumped in the front seat and trampled them a bit.   All was well though and I spent much of the remainder of the day resting.   I don’t know why I put off writing as I find it enjoyable.   I find sleeping enjoyable too and I put that off as well.   I’m too tired to put much thought into why.

The following I believe to be a teaching from my inner guru:

In the heart of the real Mind we find the cause of all that is in this world.   A simple question must be asked first… Why do you insist on finding fault with everything that is observed here?  There is no fault that will justify this tolerance for continuous misery.  And there is no misery that exists in reality.  That which you observe to be wretched and undesirable shares no difference with what you covet the most.   They are simply two points on the same spectrum,  a spectrum that, even as a whole,  is completely fabricated and only exists to examine a possibility that has already been resolved as pointless.

Make no mistake,  the beauty that you see in this world is admirable and that is to be acknowledged.   Radiate as much love, give as much compassion, share as much joy, and rest in acceptant desireless peace with the beings who have architected this world just as you would with your dearest friends.   There is not a single being in any aspect or level of existence that deserves pointing a finger of judgment at.  If you search my open heart you will find only acceptance there and never rejection regardless of role or lineage, regardless of history or perspective,  regardless of position or connection.   Each being is but a part of the greater whole.   I cannot deny love from any lest I deny it from our sacred Self. 

In this fact you will find what you long for, the satisfaction for the emptiness in your heart.   It does not need to be filled with want,  it needs only to be given freely without desire or direction.   Imagine a capacity within you to love this way, generously and without control and you will understand the true nature of our divine Self.
