The insane mind tries to keep its illusions. It defends against the truth, with intensity, ferocity and with guile. It will “do” anything to keep truth from entering its abode, and makes the false appear to take the place of truth.
This is only foolishness, not to be taken seriously. This is the desire to see special wishes come true. The faith or belief in these wishes makes this world appear very solid and real. The insane mind does not want to wake, yet beneath all it’s noise and magic, it’s grandiosity and pride, there is the truth. And the truth calls to you again and again to be Itself. The truth is hidden by layers of clouds and screens of smoke. It waits eternally patient for your awareness, for your change of mind. Truth holds no grievances, because there is nothing in the clouds or smoke to fight against. It knows you will wake and return to the only Home you’ve ever known. It knows that your true will cannot be denied, and this true will will bring you Home with Light shining everywhere and at once.
The good new is that you are not the insane mind, though it seems often to be the one part that you are aware of and place your focus on.
There is a part of you that knows and accepts the truth. There is a part of you that holds every answer to any question, that lays the truth before you in any circumstance. There is a part of you where peace is welcomed and love is given room. This part of you has never been away or disconnected from you. You may choose dreams in place of the awareness of this eternal part of you, but dreams cannot touch or change it.
You can learn to choose again. To choose for awareness of this part that seemed so distant to you. You can learn that this part can only help you and not deliver punishment, pain or death to you. You can learn that what was hidden was only your perfect innocence and love. The part of you that was denied, asks only that you open and receive the gift of truth. This part of you that can never depart, must be one with you. It has never been separate from you, and what is part of something must be in the whole. What appears to be part of you, in reality is the only Part, the only “you”.
This loving Self that you seem to connect with on “certain” occasions, is what you really are. The loving Self IS you, not the fragmented fantasy image that you dreamed.
The loving Self is your one Identity. As you allow the truth to be remembered more and more, you will find all fear removed in accepting this Identity. All the fear-generated ideas around the body will be released.
The practice to remember the truth, to welcome the truth, seems to take time. But with every instant of practice, you shorten time. In each instant of accepting truth, you move closer to Home, saving eons of time in the dream.
