14 hour road trip

14 hour road trip

with son and family...
involved
in ego drama...
i saw my face as
changing ego states...
conflicted parent
clashing with rebellious child...
adaptive child succumbing
in fear of abandonment...
adult attempting control
directly and thru
manipulation...
nurturing parent seeking
pleasure thru sacrifice...
involved in foolish drama
joy surrendered
to anger and attack
yet stepping back
a voice so small
yet engaging still
says "only bless and
see the love of Self
behind it all
just bless and love
see not conflicting childish war
but playful love's expressive
face behind it all..."
and so i did and
joy returned and had a ball.

"Error cannot really threaten truth, which can always withstand it. Only the
error is actually vulnerable. You are free to establish your kingdom where
you see fit, but the right choice is inevitable if you remember this:

Spirit is in a state of grace forever.
Your reality is only spirit.
Therefore you are in a state of grace forever.

Atonement undoes all errors in this respect, and thus uproots the source of
fear. Whenever you experience God's reassurances as threat, it is always
because you are defending misplaced or misdirected loyalty. When you project
this to others you imprison them, but only to the extent to which you
reinforce errors they have already made. This makes them vulnerable to the
distortions of others, since their own perception of themselves is
distorted. The miracle worker can only bless them, and this undoes their
distortions and frees them from prison." (T-1.III.5)
