Our Thoughts Don’t Make It True

Am I separate from the gloating MAGA hat wearer?

Check out today’s post from the Center for Action and Contemplation: The Pain of Separateness (cac.org/daily-meditations/the-pain-of-separateness/)

Highlights include:

  1. “When we’re separate, everything becomes about protecting and defending ourselves. It can consume our lives.” 
  2. “Whenever we do anything unloving, at that moment, we’re out of union.”
  3. “Whatever separates us from one another—nationality, religion, ethnicity, economics, language—are all just accidentals that will all pass away.”
  4. “Every time we do something with respect, with love, with sympathy, with compassion, with caring, with service, we are operating in union.”

    Thank you for this. I had a wonderful conversation with a friend this morning. I was struggling. As we both follow Christ, he redirected me toward the Bible and reminded me of our separateness from this WORLD, and that evil forces will do anything to separate us from each other, and love. Our conversation definitely helped. It reminded me of why I didn’t vote for so many years. I don’t believe in it, because it is an illusion, a machine meant to prosper division and steer us away from ultimate good. This is my personal belief. Nothing good has come of sharing anything else in discussion with anyone I know regarding the election. God bless you.❤️
