The Keeper Message
I've been told that if you change your mind, you change the world - or at least the way you experience it.
Let's take a moment to examine that.
The presumption is, if you thought the world was a hostile, ugly place filled with awful people doing awful things, that is what you'd see.
Your mind would naturally seek out confirmation for its preconceived ideas (e.g., if you're intent on buying a red car, as you go about your day you'll see lots of red cars).
If, however, you were able to sincerely change your mind and see that we are all God in drag, that we are the conscious aspects of a perfect universe which had to create us so we could bear witness and stand in awe before its loving magnificence, then that is the soul-shaking reality you'd be greeted with each and every moment of each and every day.
In other words, it is entirely our choice as to what kind of world we live in.
With a simple decision, we can suffer in the darkness or play in the light.
We can be angry, frightened and enslaved, or loving, joyous and free.

it makes so much sense to me Mel, why cannot I accept this truth as the starting point of each day of my life? I drag myself through unneeded worry and stress, taking away the joy of the moments before me. literally tossing them away, tossing away these gifts from God. tonight I will recite the serenity prayer again and again until I can feel myself relax.
Reminds me of the tale when a man was new to town and asked at the city gate what kind of town it was. The gatekeeper asked in return, "What kind of town was your last town?"
Yup, you guessed it. If there were lots of friendly people....you'll find that here, was the gatekeepers response. If the reply was people weren't very nice...then the gatekeeper again said, you'll find that here.
Attitude and our response is everything. It seems we need to be proactive and plan to see and make good all around us. For then...there will be much goodness. Yes?
Hope I made sense...my eyes are crossed...so sleepy...didn't sleep last night. arrgh!
