How often I have forgotten that dreaming, seeming, meaninglessness, emptiness and nothingness all have appearances. Thanks for reminding us that the deception lies in the appearance. Love, T
I really like the explanation that "attacking is the same as pursuing." We don't usually think that what we DON"T want-with our attack/anger towards it--is what calls that very thing to us and makes it "real" for us. I also love that "a sick body is no more evidence that we're not the Son of God than a well body is."
And I REALLY LOVE that I always fight illusions! NOT the truth! because illusions will NEVER satisfy the Son of God!
Thank you Karen for your great explanations! Thanks group!!!
And yet it's ok to enjoy rubbing the belly of my purring cat right? Is it that I can enjoy doing that but realize it's temporary nature and yet not hold expectations that it will always be so?
@Carolsw1 The love and peace u feel is real and eternal. It is a small taste of your natural state of mind. The goal is not let illusions cloud that state of mind.
