Last night I dreamed that my late husband Bob and I had separated and there was no way to resolve the issue because he had false information about me. I felt total frustration. The only glimmer of hope was that a young woman handed me a thin gold chain of hers to wear and I was grateful.

So far this morning I have been musing on what the dream could have meant. This is what I have come up with so far. The ego is fueled by false information, but it is arising within. Our own emotions are betraying our faith in a higher power (The True Self within).

Never mind the war in Ukraine; there is a war within each individual born of man. The enemy is within; it has ever been thus.

The only war worth waging is the war within, for the within is pictured without. You can’t have one without the other.

The teachings of Christ are within; once we see that, we can breathe a sigh of relief. We do not have to doubt our own inklings that arise. These writings are inklings given to me, one who has had a lifelong interest in awakening.

Trust the inklings of your spirit; they can be relied upon. Turn away from the outer picture just for today and focus on the one simple fact that can be relied upon. The kingdom of heaven is within. Rest in that and see what happens, for everything just happens. There is no free will except how to react to what God has ordained.

You will be lifted up inside your own consciousness as long as you continue to turn within.
