I only slept a few hours last night and this morning I am sitting in the clear light of day. You know we are living a dream, don’t you? I think we can all agree on that. Just like we can agree that knowing is not enough.

What is necessary is a continual reboot of our thoughts and emotions, because they will betray you every time. What goes up must come down and that is a fact of life on Planet Earth.

The planet is being destroyed by its human inhabitants; the primary principle being greed and a lust for power. Urged on and abetted by the coming authoritarianism in places all over the world. What can we find to be thankful for?

There is only one thing to be thankful for and that is the consciousness of being one with everything. Do not think this is anything that you can do, for it is something that you must be. The only way out of this world is through the eye of the needle.

Sit in simple silence on and off throughout the day. Watch your breath go in and out. Feel the peace of soul that draws near to you; allow it to breathe you into the higher world.

In the higher world of “I am,” there is no suffering and no loss. There are no tyrants despoiling Mother Earth nor vigilantes out to have their will imposed on others. We live in desperate times; it is important to remember that.

Today is a day of coming home to the Self. Put it on your calendar and then realize that the calendar cannot contain you, for you are the witness of this world gone mad. Remember the words of Jesus, “I have overcome the world.” And that is our job as we practice the presence one breath at a time.
