“never impose on others what you would not choose for yourself” --Confucius

‘Power -- Meditations & Random thoughts’
I no longer wonder why Epiphany signaled the end of my desolation. Or the labor required to crawl beneath the monolith of Christmas. What I have now I would not trade for any amount, or places with anyone, including God. Impossible as that is, actually inconceivable, yet the thought demonstrates power best.
As real as God is to me, I have become real to myself, and that is not an exercise of ego but reaching above my terror and finding the ceiling of life and love manifest and total.
Of political process, and that of religion, I am sad to say that I find no power above pretence. Do No Harm Period.
Power is for you alone to give empowering others their opportunity to amplify--like the Sun--growth and the will to live life at all.
I am right for me, and need not be right for you. I only suggest that you look within yourself and accept the grace and power inherent in the brief or long moments allotted your consciousness. The perfect teacher and school is within you and no one can gainsay that.
I am a rebel with a cause. Aware that there are those of us who have fallen into the darkness of our terror manifest in ways that possess us. Expressed and published in the destruction of specific victims, victimizing ourselves, to slake our thirst for truth. Apparent to me is Jesus and all else falls away.
The finger I pointed, shouting “YOU” messages, is no longer outward, but equally inward. I conclude myself disabled to judge or destroy anyone or thing.
I am not attempting to publish a “mail-order-course,” for profit, on how to heal yourself. I am merely using “I” messages to communicate the potential of magnificence in you. There is no “good, better, best” but in the final measure, in each second, there is an I/Thou involved. Rigid attitudes and conclusions are easily destroyed by those who hold them dear as ideals fixed and immutable. The energy required downs out all the potentials of seeing “normal” differently.
After 69 miles of hard road, I am unwilling to rest, pensioned off, basking in the sunset of my life. Should the system of my subsistence fail I will learn to live in and upon the land, or gladly expire the effort.
It is wise, or so I believe, to remember Jesus was not a Christian. And that God is not either. Confucius expressed the Golden Rule best, or so I think: “never impose on others what you would not choose for yourself”
