Today, the world feels particularly chaotic with the wars, climate change, politics, disease, etc., etc.…It is too easy to get caught up in the negativity (how often are we bombarded by the news even when avoiding it?!), far too easy to believe that love is somehow overpowered by the darkness. But as I take a deep breath and remember the teachings of A Course in Miracles, a sense of peace washes over me. Ahhh, a return to sanity!
ACIM reminds us that the world we perceive is an illusion, a projection of our separated mind (ego). This ego thrives on fear, anger, and judgment – the very things fueling the chaos. Yet, beneath this illusion lies a deeper truth: the truth of Love.
Love isn’t something fleeting or external; it is the very essence of our being. It’s the oneness that connects us all, the power that transcends every perceived separation. Even when the world seems to be falling apart, Love remains constant, a steady flame burning ever so brightly.
Let us all remember the kindness of strangers, the unwavering love of a family member or friend, or the unexpected beauty found in nature. These glimpses of love, however small, are reminders of its enduring presence. If you have a few minutes, put your hands over your heart, pause, close your eyes, and tune into loves vibration. I call this my soul tingling…it’s there for us whensoever we need it!
My task, then, isn’t to fight the chaos but to shift my perspective. Through forgiveness, by letting go of judgments and choosing to see the world with Love’s vision, I can contribute to the healing. My own inner peace becomes a ripple in the pond, affecting the world around me, even in a small way.
This doesn’t mean ignoring the problems or pretending everything is perfect. It means acknowledging the darkness while choosing to focus on Love’s light. It means holding onto the truth that Love always prevails, even in the midst of chaos.
Tonight, I’ll close my eyes and visualize Love’s light radiating from me, reaching out to touch others. Perhaps, by remembering Love’s truth and actively choosing love, we can all contribute to making the world a little more filled with the light of Love.
