10/8/06 12-noon My office easy chair after a long walk
An inner dialog regarding Goals...
Me: Goal -
New Goal - To create myself as a Beautiful Expression of Life. (which is Love, which is Truth, which is GOD.)
My Ego: Usurpation. Claiming yourself as the Creator?!?... (and before I could defend myself..)
GOD: No not at all. GOD IS ALL THERE IS - no matter what I /You see. There is only GOD and I AM That. THAT IS ME. ALL ARE THAT. Now and Always. There is no thing, nothing, that is not GOD and GOD is no thing - NOTHING - ALL THERE IS.
Me - My Ego: So I'm free to Create My Life as a Beautiful Expression of Life?
GOD: THAT IS ALL THERE IS.
Afterthought...
For me, I guess there's no need to claim what you already are. Or you cannot usurp what you already are - it's not possible. No matter what you see...
Addendum - So I'm sitting in my office writing down this dialog in my head after a long walk. My five year old daughter, Molly, comes in and leans over the chair arm. She asks what I've written on my notepad. So I tell her. Do you understand? She nods. Do you feel this way too? Yes she says. Then she says what about other people? I can feel where she is taking this. What do you mean other people, those who don't feel this way? Yes she says. And before I can even respond she says, "Daddy let me draw our picture here." She has instantly answered her dilemma.
There were no more words but I can tell you I felt my daughter's intent. She wanted to put a drawing of our family with these words so that others could recognize us as their family too. She had no fears nor cares that others might not feel the same. In her own way she wanted to reach out to you and show herself with no judgement toward what you believe and to feel no judgement toward what she feels. My core was moved more than I can say. The whole experience was beyond words.
So here's my hen scratchin' with her expression of - Love me as I love you or Love One Another.
Mags and Ginger are the kitties we live with...
Hopes this makes sense to you.
Love One Another

What a wonderful post, Rod. - Thanks for sharing that. After reading I wondered if your daughter enjoyed coloring. If so, she might enjoy filling in these cartoons from Bob Seal..
Cheers!
It is amazing. Ken Wilber talks about what he calls the pré/trans fallacy and yet here is an instance where it isnt really true; children are often wiser than we are! :)
How Cute : )
Rod, your kids always do look so happy!
J.K. I like those cartoons, they're awesome. Thanks.
Daddy I have three KDub books in the cue. I don't know what the pre/trans fallacy is but now I'm gonna find out.
Joy Thanks. Cute right back at ya.
Spirit Flower By and large my kids are very happy but fortunately no one's taking pictures when I'm tired and overwhelmed red-faced and yelling to brush teeth and put on P.J.s. A lot of sad faces in those moments, mine included. But hey, that's what therapy's for…LOL!!
I'm collecting for the Molly and Ray Therapy Fund if anyone care's to donate. ; )
Rod,
This is one of the most beautiful stories I've heard! I love children! You've got a real bright light for the world, there. Please let her know that I got her message loud and clear and that I send the same heart felt embrace!
Love and Light,
Charity
I told her Charity. And she smiled this little knowing grin. Prideful yet innocent.
Thank you.
