These thoughts came to mind recently:
Do I want to be happy or right?
Trying to follow 2 different thought systems only makes confusion and conflict. (This does not make happy.)
Giving up one thought system will lead to happiness.
When I want only peace then I will have peace.
To have peace I must give it (share it).
Giving is how I recognize I have it and giving is how I keep it.
There are not two wills or many wills. There is only God’s Will. And I am His Will. Being His Will I cannot be in opposition to It, I can only share it. I am here to let go of my illusions of where I am and what I am. These illusions are nothing because only what God created exists. The image of self that I think of is not real, but part of the mind thinks that image is its home.
If I am not happy I am choosing to listen to the wrong voice. Actually it is a fantasy voice trying to replace the Voice of Love. I can always tell which voice I have chosen by how I feel. Every feeling that is not happy comes from fear. Every feeling that brings joy or happiness comes from Love. If I find that I have chosen wrongly, I need only choose again.
In the “end” I simply realize that what I thought I “did” never happened. I have been watching shadows on a wall thinking that they were real.
