Everything you need is inside you…

I have to pay attention to my inner thoughts. If they aren’t watched, then I won’t know what actually upsets me.

My inner thoughts will create a reality that makes me peaceful or angry. Projection is always caused by the anger that’s caused by the fear of believing there is a separation between us and God.

My peace comes from being one with God, and in Him, I find me. I have all the peace in the world. I have the light and joy to shine away the darkness I believed in.

That is why it’s so helpful to meditate. I’m beginning to meditate when I’m walking, running, sitting, and holding no guilt about it.

I’ve held guilt about feeling too good, for far too long. Do you feel the same? Listen closely.

I start to hurry myself to do something after I’ve meditated. It’s the rush of panic that believes I have to do to keep love and my connection to God. Being in peace is never wrong. It almost feels like a default setting if we believed we deserved it. Honestly it’s unnatural to be self persecuted. It’s even bound to drive people to have bouts of anxiety or worse, depression.

So why would I feel so guilty for feeling so peaceful?

Pema Chödrön talks about guiltlessness in her learning course, Bodhisattva Mind. I thought about how her teacher was right. We make ourselves out to be bad people. We have to be alright with seeing who we are without judgement.

Are we bad for considering taking time for ourselves when we’ve just arrived out of a storm? Even the simplest things that make us feel stressed out means we’ve neglected ourselves far too long.

Now, when I focus on reaching God’s eternal love, I want to focus on how I can see it expand and grow in me. I can have it all. You can too. We deserve it.
