This course is inspiring and reminding me to work on being the light I want to see in others. Seemingly so simple and yet…. I have been aware of that concept for quite some time, especially these days when I see so many take to the social activism, sometimes chanting slogans, or preaching how certain other people or governments “should” behave, and all along my inner voice is whispering to me, “all we can do is Be the light we want to see in others.” This course illuminates the concept of correcting myself towards loving others as myself, in a very profound way. Plus seeing just how many people from around the world have joined this course and is getting this same message makes me think that, as more and more join in this effort, we truly are moving towards correcting the world, simply by feeling that each one of us is a spark of the whole, and as each one of us is correcting ourselves, we are correcting all of humanity by default!
My role is to set my intention on moving towards the ultimate goal, i.e. to notice my egotistical desires and work towards correcting them – replacing them with those that are more of service to others in a genuine way, to see goodness in others and by so doing helping them transform as well.
To view reality from the perspective of the creator is to see how interconnected everything is in nature, how it is all meant to work together in harmony, bestowing goodness in a constant, consistent manner without fail for the purpose of filling his creation with delight. Not us humans, we change our attitudes and views towards other people, concepts, towards nature itself, which means towards the creator himself, sometimes simply depending on our mood that day, or the influence of others, or based on the events taking place in our individual lives, simply because of our own changing egotistical nature, so our view of reality is completely subjective, narrowed down to how it relates to us and our unmet desires and needs. To me a good example of Creator’s reality is watching the faithful ceremony of the moon and the sun rising and setting, every single morning and night, so stunningly beautiful, peaceful and constant regardless of our behavior or attitude for millions of years…. Day after day…. Reminding us of the all bestowing nature of the Creator that we must try and adhere to.
Wow, this subject of Free Will is the most fascinating for me, and Tony does such an incredible job of presenting it, leaving so much room for wonderful thought and for creating the right kind of intentions. And that feels utmost liberating!!!
It is clear that all is from him, you can see his imprint everywhere, and all is interconnected because all was created by one force.
I have learned to listen more intently to the voice of the creator within my spark, just by virtue of pondering the various ideas that were shown and discussed during the first semester, like the concept of total reality around us being something very different than the limited reality we perceive through our five senses and the program inside of us that interprets it, like developing a screen where even receiving becomes a form of bestowal. I have often felt that how one receives a gift is an art form. The idea to make the giver feel seen and appreciated is such an important way of giving back. I am trying more and more to see humanity in everyone and be present with any one person I come in contact with. And very importantly, the hardest part, is trying to retrain my thought process from when I notice it is filled with fears and insecurities and negativity, to its opposite – to bestow upon myself the love and light and in that form be able to bestow upon others.
