Guest guest Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Hi, Andy, you wrote:P.S. You inquired, " will i write that letter to my friend or not " ....... to which I would reply: wait and see. :-)))) This is what i actually did starting from last night  -  told myself just to wait and see!!This morning, after reading some passages from A Course In Miracles, i found that i will not write that letter  -  so in the moment i do not write it. However that may change :-)))) So, i appreciate that hint  -  each moment is a new one!Anyway, i seem to " need " a reason why i do something or do it not - - -i.g. in this situation it gives me kind of satisfaction to " act " according to what i had just read in ACIM.If i believe that there is no separation then that means my friend and me are the same  -  so what is the good of accusing him, since what i do to him is what i do to myself? That´s what i can understand so far. And that´s why i like not to write that letter this moment  - but it may change :-) And: I don´t experience any stress in the moment ... Exciting! Loving and laughing, R.

You inquired, " will i write that letter to my friend or not " ....... to which I would reply: wait and see. :-)))) > This is what i actually did starting from last night *****In Reality, that is all that happens. Ever. Everything else, all the plans, all the organizing, all the preparations...all of that happens in thought (and some of it may, at some moment, be actualized). And while thought is a part of Reality - a fantasy part - it is not Real. The Primary Confusion comes from mistaking, over and over and over again, thought for Reality. Once there is a Seeing, a distinguishing, a differentiating, of thought from Reality, a lot of questions simply....evaporate gently.....like a message written on flowing waters. Cheers!
