If absolute power corrupts absolutely, does absolute powerlessness make you pure?
- Harry Shearer
One of the reasons folks have a hard time committing to the idea of a Power Greater Than Their Own, is the belief that absolute power corrupts.
Always.
But we have, in our minds, the memory of wholeness, Of a loving God, and that is where our real home is.
Thinking that something all powerful must be corrupt is a classic example of dualistic thinking, of victim mentality.
ex: If I trust anything completely it will lead to my weakness and vulnerability, and nothing is perfect and whole - I will be hurt in time.
That’s why we are afraid of God. He made this world and everything in it, right? So he must be corrupt because there is pain here. I mean, someone must be to blame for all this sorrow and suffering, right?
I say MY God is not responsible for the pain of this world. MY God is purely loving, whole, perfect.
If your God isn’t these things, I want nothing to do with him. You can have him.
It is difficult for an earth dweller to think in terms of wholeness.This is in spite of the fact that, every experience we have ever really trusted is whole in its nature..
When your mama looked into your eyes with that pure love, you weren’t comparing her to another.
When you were in that symphony hall listening to your favorite Beethoven movement…. say, why is it your favorite? Because it moves you to a place of non-duality - to a space of wholeness.
….looking into a newborn’s eyes…..standing out on a starry night, feeling connected….YOU know what I’m talking about.
If it seems a bit lofty to think of yourself as a whole part of the universe and beyond, as joined to all other consciousness’ minds, and joined in God, the Great Unifying Force Field of Which we are all a Whole Part….then keep doing the lessons of the Workbook of A Course In Miracles. They will lead you to an experience of yourself as purely subjective. And THAT feels more real than this body.
It is a time of great joy in the cosmos!!! We are being applauded by our Celestial Neighbors.
In cosmic terms, we have graduated to at LEAST the first grade….!
….or you wouldn’t be reading this far.
Keep moving, always ask for more, never believe anything in this world can satisfy.
Just keep moving.
…it’s just up ahead…..you are so close…..
