A New Way to See

Trying to Find Happiness

Dear Reader,  I was going through last year’s journal, and came across this entry. This is another lesson that I would repeat and have Love’s memory return to an unclouded mind.


God’s Love is everywhere, how can I be afraid with His Love everywhere?
What can cause me to think or believe that I am not included in His Love?
Why would I choose to think that I could be excluded from the Love that is
always present, always eternal, forever with It’s creation?

God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
I am as Love created me. Thoughts leave not their Source.

If I follow the ego system, I will be in fear. I will think that God cannot be trusted and must be feared. I will not be open to the love that surrounds me, while I dream.
The ego tells me that I would be happy if I had another body close to me. Or maybe I should go back and finish the lesson that I started with that person. It always tells me that happiness lies in the future, never the present moment. Or happiness is some other place, not where I am in the moment.

I have mistaken happiness for many different forms in the dream. I have been led by the ego in it’s insane quests, desires, illusions, and plans. I need to learn (once and for all) that happiness is never in any form. Happiness is within me, for it is recognizing that I am whole, complete, and totally innocent. It is seeing with Holy Eyes, that I remain as Love created me. It is knowing that what Love creates cannot be changed. Happiness is accepting that truth is true, I did not create my self or my body. I cannot “be” something other then what Love created. That is impossible. What I have told myself over eons, does not change what Love created.

If I feel unhappy, it is because I am trying to “live” a lie.
