Dear friend,
When we are very young, we are soft and vulnerable and our mind is forming connections at a pace that is extraordinary, something like one million neural connection each minute in the first three years.
We grow a mental map and it becomes our world. We learn a language and a culture and we grow an image of ourselves.
This image is not who we are. We are the consciousness in which the image and the map form.
What more can be said?
To rest in this consciousness is peace.
When a bubble in an ocean of love bursts, what rushes in?
Meditate on someone or something you love.
Let your mind rest for a moment.
Surely it will rush out again searching for happiness.
When we are young and our caregivers are searching for happiness where it can not be found, we learn to do the same.
We make mistakes.
We learn to blame ourselves.
As if our mistakes are who we are.
Bad boys and girls, we became unloveable in our own eyes and we hide those parts.
Wrapped in shame.
We want to be good.
We want to be loved.
We want what we are.
In truth.
We are love personified.
You are enough and forgiveness is yours to give.
Give it.
Where it is needed most.
Be kind.
To yourself.
Till tomorrow
Love
Mikey
