I am reading the Course in Miracles, and it mentions that this reality was created when the Creator for a moment forgot to laugh. It's where our seriousness and fear came into being as we felt we needed to be separate from the Great Sea of Love to protect and control everything around us.
How true it is when we get all tasky and focusing on being acceptable and lovable that we get cranky and defensive and forget to laugh. We let fear become our master instead of making a choice moment by moment to ride this wave of life with love.
If we can remember who we truly are on the inside instead of focusing on this body vehicle we would fear a lot less. Behind the tinted windows of all these vehicles we are riding around in are the true beings that are behind the wheel. We are powerful whole complete spiritual beings that need nothing to make them lovable or acceptable.
If we can come back to this foundation, then we can find that joy again within and belt out a healthy laugh over and over again as we enjoy the Now. No fear of the past, and no fear in the future. We need nothing to fulfill us because we are complete already. A new habit needs to be formed, where we choose to respond to life with love instead of reacting with fear.
It takes time to form a new habit. It is important to not judge ourselves, and when we realize we have focused back on fear we just correct ourselves focusing back on love. Soon the time in between these necessary corrections becomes greater and greater and greater until it becomes our new habit.
All it takes is the choice to start.

Being the Stream
As a stream starts at a source, so here is the beginning of my blog experience.
I wanted to share my journey from the Great Lake in the mountains, streaming through the different lands as I work my way back to the Great Sea. My hope is that baring my experiences and thoughts openly will help others on their journey, and allow me to glean the knowledge from others who are on their own paths.
For the Great Sea broke itself into billions of drops, and rained us down upon this planet creating puddles, ponds and lakes. We all consist of the same particles of the Great Sea. In order for us to truly know the Great Sea we need to join back together again and flow back from where we originated.
A stream is made up of water. Water does not change who it is. It simply flows towards the sea. When an obstacle gets in its way, it simply goes around it, over it, under it, and if necessary, eventually through it. The larger the stream becomes the more powerful and unstoppable it is. Those who have tried to change the course of a river have failed. It always takes back over its original course.
Join the Stream. Be the Stream.
