~Love~

Love wishes to be known, completely understood and shared. It has no secrets; nothing that it would keep apart and hide. It walks in sunlight, open-eyed and calm, in smiling welcome and sincerity so simple and so obvious it cannot be misunderstood. ~ACIM 20 VI 3

Releasing the Egomotion

Ok, so maybe egomotion isn't a word, but to me it symbolizes something essential to look at when we are look towards correcting our perception and living in Truth.

So what excatly is egomotion?

To me we exude two emotions, the emotion that comes from a place of Love and Oneness, and then we have a gamut of emotions that come from a place of ego. Those ego emotions can be disguised in many different ways, anger, fear, sadness, resentment, jealousy or even an infuriating feeling... All of those emotions that stem from the ego are what I call egomotions.

We have these little egomotions pop up all the time, being in these human bodies and experiencing the ego, (for that is what it means to be human afterall) we can't help but have egomotions come up to us. The thing we have to observe and work with is how we deal with them.

Dealing with our emotions can seem like a daunting task, seriously! I know people that just seem out of control with their emotions, ranging from happiness to negativity and everything in between. It really doesn't have to be a difficult task to undertake though, it is actually pretty simple.

To me, the way I can bring this control into play with my emotions is when I feel anger, frustration etc come over me, I bring my attention to the now. A question that I ask myself is, "What am I experiencing now?"

I don't know about you, but my mind wanders to many different areas throughout the day. Maybe you can call it a wandering mind, deep thoughts, it goes all over. Sometimes those thoughts go to something that happened in the past, and wow, that can really affect me! How do you deal with feeling embarassed in the 3rd grade when you tripped in front of your classmates? Sure that happens, but when you think about the situation that made you feel embarassed, is that affecting you right now?

How about how you felt angry when you found out someone lied to you. (I know that one is a toughie) Ask yourself though, why were you angry that the person lied to you?

Because you were afraid or hurt? Hmmm...

All these egomotions really boil down to fear, they have to, the ego only knows fear. The ego has its place in ourselves, if it didn't, we wouldn't need our bodies, we would be in total Spirit form,,, but how much of those egomotions do you allow to be part of your experience?

So what is the alternative to feeling these egomotions? For me the alternative is realizing that everything has its place in this world, nothing is ever wrong or bad, it just is. We can realize that there is nothing to gain when we focus our right now on feeling negative, all that does is keep us in the ego for a longer time.

The truth of the matter is that we only have right now, so how are you spending it? Focused on the ego, or the Loveeeeeeee?!

Love Transfers to Love...

This is a quote from the book A Course In Miracles, I have just started to study this book with some others, it has been wonderfully enlightning so far. I thought I would share a quote here...

Love transfers to love without any interference, for the two are one. As you perceive more and more common elements in all situations, the transfer of training under the Holy Spirit's guidance increases and becomes generalized. Gradually you learn to apply it to everyone and everything, for its applicability is universal. When this has been accomplished, perception and knowledge have become so similar that they share the unification of the laws of God.

Blessings of Light, Starlene
