Mindfulness Corral

I have spent a lot of time as a metaphysician trying to be peaceful because I thought that was the mark of a good spiritualist. What has happened was I became a good stuffer, I pretended like things didn’t affect me, when they certainly did. Eventually the straw would break the camel’s back and I would have a good fit about it, and then I could be back to pretending again. 

I am discovering that it is not so much about being peaceful as being Mindful. 

My new habit is to use unpeaceful feelings for Self-Inquiry...I’ll ask, “Why is this upsetting me?” 

There are an infinite number of answers to this question and everyone of them will lead back to SEPARATION. I am separate from the issue, I am separate from the other people in the issue, the memory this situation represents made me feel separate, I am separate from the opinions and emotions of the other people in the circumstance....they, they, they, me, me, me!!! With all this separation going on, how can I be in Truth? How can I be at Peace?

Mindfulness corrals the ego and brings it into submission instead of letting it run rampant, fearful, and headstrong. The Principle of Unity states that there is no separation at all, anywhere, ever,  period. 

Illusion or Truth are the two choices, the illusion of separation brings pain, the truth of Unity brings peace.
