If It's Not About Love, It's Untrue!

I can 'SEE' clearly now that .....

Wow! I've Believed Myself Into Existence ~ Byron Katie

I simply love photos from Byron Katie's teaching.  She hits the nail right on the head!!  Every time I have a thought about something and come to a conclusion, up comes her post depicting exactly what my mind is experiencing!!  Reality confirmation is what I like to call it.

The only reason I ever suffer is because I am unconsciously unwilling to give up a story.  A story that makes me falsely believe that is my protection against pain and suffering.  Ironically, that belief creates even more suffering. What I know for sure now is that we are constantly bombarded with all kinds of images, beliefs, ideas, comments, news, stories, etc. etc. and the more edge a story has, the more dramatics surrounding the story, and the more it holds us spell bound the more we are likely to be drawn in.  We are like hypnotic beings when we are living from the space of fear.  We are afraid to live in total freedom. We have secrets that we don't want our family, friends, social circle, etc. to know about lest they should leave us or become the subject of gossip or be  ostracized.  What my world thinks of me appears to be very important to me.  But all of the stories are absolutely untrue.  Totally untrue.  I have got this.   My world reflects my own belief of myself. The story of my so-called life is in my mind. Its not Reality.  Its only a small 'r' reality in my small mind.

I am deeply grateful for one thing.  There is nothing I hide, nor do I feel compelled to hide from anyone.  I no longer worry about what will people think of me if I share the dark side of me that I am dealing with.  Because all of it is untrue.  Its true in my mind as long as I believe it to be true. It becomes untrue the moment I realise that love is missing from the equation.  Its so simple.  That's all I need to know.  Am I feeling the vibrations of love?  If not, something is drastically wrong which needs to be corrected.  And as I am on a continuous process of clearing and cleansing my mind of unwanted thoughts, I am beginning to see its the smallest and the tiniest mad ideas that make my mind run  berserk.   I am the master of my mind.

Am I in love?  That's the key leading question for Peace.
