Thinking I Know

What I experience comes from my choice, but I am sorely mistaken in what I think is the truth or what is real. Why do I think that being guilty is “better” then being innocent? Why choose to have a madman manage my life? I can and do choose again.

It is insane to think that guilt and suffering will protect me from additional pain and punishment. There is another way, another way to think, another way to live. I step back and observe my story from a detached perspective. Being detached makes an empty space for a different perception to come to mind. I ask for this new perception from my holy Self. This is the part of me that knows the truth and would free my mind of every false and meaningless idea (thoughts).

When I step back, let go of the wheel, step off the merry-go-round, I am asking another perception to come to me. When I perceive anything other than love, kindness or joy, I have accepted a false perception in place of truth. I admit that I have been wrong because I do not like the way I feel. As I practice this stepping back, I experience relief. Stepping back I practice letting go what I think I know. For my knowing is based on a sorry story that has no foundation, no truth.

Thinking I know what anything means or what it is for is a mistake. This method of thinking is mistaken because I have made or given the meaning to everything I see before I see it “outside me.” Having made a definition of something or some event, I cannot know its real purpose or what it is for. When I detach from my story, I allow my holy Mind to show me the true purpose of anything. Everything I made up the holy Self can use for the healing, unification, communion of all minds.

Let me remember: I do not now what anything is for, or what it means. I am willing to learn. I stop, step back, and ask for another way to see this. I let peace in and extend it out to all. I choose peace first.
