A Lesson in Love

So much has happened since I last posted.  Life has been busy, or I should say that my EGO has been busy.  I left Modest, CA for Seattle, WA soon after my last post having been asked by a friend if I could stay in with her in Seattle for a week or so while she recovered from an up coming surgery.  I hadn’t planned on going there and was a little apprehensive about it since the actions of this friend were sometimes anything but loving. But I ignored the red flags, purchased a train ticket, packed my bags and headed to a profound shift in consciousness.

The train was three hours behind schedule which landed me in Seattle at midnight instead of 9pm, and my friend was nowhere in sight. This was the beginning of a lesson about forgiveness and love that forever changed the way I looked at the world.  It helped me awaken from the dream I had been living, shook me to my core, and brought me to my knees.

When I was younger, I found myself in a homeless situation and since then I have always been afraid of having that experience again, and now I was looking straight at the possibility of homelessness once again. A stranger in a strange place.

In the past I would have been out of my mind with anger and despair. Instead, I was rocketed into the forth dimension-experiencing true forgiveness for myself and my friend unlike anything I had ever experienced before. A shift so profound I was forever changed. Not only I able to heal the way I looked homeless, but I got to send love and healing to my friend in Seattle instead of hating her, creating another chapter in the “Life Sucks and Here’s Why” book that I had been writing for far too long.

A Course in Miracles teaches that healing is not something that occurs alone, that when an illusion is healed it also heals the person those unloving actions we had projected our perceptions and fears onto – as long as we stay conscious to what the illusion is and forgive the mistake. My friend gave me the opportunity to return to my true self, which is Love. By blessing her, loving her, and forgiving her, I was able to forgive myself, freeing me to experience life in an entirely different way-a way of wholeness.

My perception of life, that I had carried with me up to that point, had not been one of happiness, trust, and safety. 

This situation helped me to see that Divine Love wants only the very highest of light and love for me, and all I need to do was believe that to be true, love myself, and love others, no matter how things show up, and have faith.
