To be in the world but not of it.

Interesting and centering read. Thank You!

Thank you so much. I’ve come up with an upgrade from reaction to response to radiate check my articles! You might enjoy this more positive way to participate in exchanges.

Here it is:

Not sure what you mean: “You might enjoy this more positive way to participate in exchanges.”

I read your link.

I liked GrowWizards comment.

You might want to reflect on your comment that I’ve come across a couple times now, that you feel you are “shouting into the void. “

Instead of just pausing and responding. You pause and see how you can radiate some of your love back into every response.

About shouting into the void is that the post i share are to wake people up to the fact that we’ve been slaves for thousands of years and real choice is more often than not an illusion.

For example try saying income tax is immoral and unlawful ànd shouldn’t be even legal, no choice there.

Ànd shouting into the void when no one sees your posts ànd I have a decade of experience in this…

Not sure if this answers your question but I’m on my phone now so limited response

I appreciate your reply and clarification and it clears it up. Thank you.

It is great advice.

I have experienced the pause first to respond with love and I probably do pause most of the time… but I don’t always listen to the inner voice that would rather be happy than right. 😉

It’s probably the one feature of my ego that I am most aware of! Self awareness of the projections that color my world is a learning curve of wisdom I’ve been traveling for decades.

As for shouting into the void, I wonder who your intended audience is? The most subscribed substacks are engaging in politics.

I find the couple substacks of yours that I’ve read are very pleasant reading and I enjoyed them but sortof, for me, preaching to the choir.

I probably have most of David Hawkins books and I reread them frequently. I’ve been ACIM student since the late 80s.

Carry on doing what you love and are inspired to do …leave the reach to the Holy Spirit 🙏❤️
