Below are the links to my original posts for the lessons we are reviewing today:
Day 133: I will not value what is valueless.
Day 134: Let me perceive forgiveness as it is.
Let us begin our meditation once again with this:
My mind holds only what I think with God.
With the intent to align ourselves with our Creator, let us close our eyes and breathe in deeply. Sit peacefully in the blankness of your mind, as you place your full focus on the rhythm of your inhale and your exhale. When all superficial thoughts have gone their way and you sit in perfect stillness, begin to listen closely for a sound amid the slow beat of your breath. Use your inner ear and you will hear a distant hum. Let the vibrations of this echo draw you in, and let the sound envelop all your senses. Feel your heart as it dances to the melody it sings. The hum crescendos as you recognize it is a voice. Its harmonious song starts to liven all the cells within your body. Every part of you is tied to it, vibrating with its frequency. As you approach the source of sound, you see a Vision, a swirling spiral of Light. From it emanates the beautiful Voice that called you to it. And you see that all around this Light are others, just like you. Together, you ride the waves of sound that usher forth from this shared space.
I will not value what is valueless.
What point is placing value on something that will not last? But that is what we do when we value what is of this world. Nothing in this world will last forever - not our possessions, not our homes, not our bodies, not even the earth itself. The most that they can offer is a temporary importance, for that which is a part of this world can only be an instrument for our souls. It is through them which we may experience the Truly Valuable, but they are not of value in and of themselves. Love, Joy, Peace - these are where our value should be placed. We achieve these states of being through our relationships with one another. Since We are All One, it is only in relationship that we experience our True Self. In so doing we recognize that Love and Joy and Peace is in Reality What We Are. Only that is worth our value.
Let me perceive forgiveness as it is.
Forgiveness is the way by which we rid the world of false beliefs. Forgiveness is to Love. Forgiveness is to offer Joy and Peace to those who have forgotten Who They Really Are. It is not a power dynamic, where the forgiver is virtuous and the forgiven is a sinner. Sin does not exist. To Truly Forgive is to recognize this fact, and to reflect the light of one's own heart to shine away illusions of the dark. Forgiveness is the means to bridge ourselves to one another, to see ourselves as Whole again and dispel belief in separation.
Returning from our meditative state, let us not forget the value of these lessons for today. They come from the Source of Knowledge, the Voice which beckons us to listen so that we may find our way back to the Light. We do this by remembering Who We Are, and that We are All One. The Love and Joy and Peace that comes from this awareness is all that's worth our value. We cannot experience it fully until we bring all others with us. The way we do this is through our forgiveness of our Brothers and Sisters. Let the bonds of the relationships that form keep us connected to each other for eternity. Let separation reign the earth no more, and we will live in Harmony again.
Until tomorrow,
Journeyman
