Today someone asked why, if there is no death, I have sent my
condolences to my brothers at Endeavor Academy. A reasonable
question!
The world goes on seemingly, no matter how spiritual one gets one
still feels stuff; my mother passed away recently, I cried, no I
sobbed, I don't know why, I just did and it seemed OK to do it. It
wasn't rational, it wasn't an effect of my present thought system, I
don't know what it was...
The condolences people expressed were helpful as expressions of love,
understanding and appreciation of the life of Love my mother lived
here on earth. It is not egocentric to express condolences, just as it
is not egocentric to express appreciation, nor is it negative to show
my brother how special he is to me.
You are my savor, I cannot get out of this dream without correct
perception of you and ALL my dear brothers. (Correct perception has
nothing to do with the form of perception or the words one uses,
correct perception is about the content or meaning - it is Loving and
not fearful or intending to provoke further fear.)
It is one thing to have a correct understanding of spiritual concepts
and yet it is a very different thing how we communicate these same
concepts to one another.
This does not indicate a split mind, it does not indicate anything, so
I give my brothers at Endeavor Academy my condolences even though I
know that they understand the concepts surrounding death because I
want to communicate with them and be together with them in this time
of transition.
The spiritual life is a romance, it is a transition from one belief
system to another and there are overlaps where some parts of mind are
faster and others slower to make the necessary changes. Jesus is here
with us picking up the slack, so whatever we need, however we need to
express our experience, we can trust him to translate it for us, into
the Atonement...
Thanks Bro
Robin
