Another awareness arose this morning, and I am thrilled with the synchronicity of life, the knowing of how wonderfully all things come together for good, for the learning of Love. On Monday a letter arrived that led to an insight on how we fight the world (see "Bucking The System"). Before that became clear, however, I was questioning my "judgment" of the situation.

On Tuesday night, the card I read in our Course In Miracles group said "Any interpretation you lay upon a brother is senseless. Let the Holy Spirit show you both his cry for Love and his expression of Love. Neither his Mind nor yours contains any other order of thought". That led, in turn, to the understanding how we create the lessons for our Self, and gratitude, a greater awareness of Love's presence. And that led to the realization that any interpretation I lay upon ME is also senseless, that EVERYTHING I think or do increases my awareness, that "i" don't have to worry about anything, for ALL works for good.

On Wednesday I ignored an intuition to invite One closest to me to join us for lunch, and later realized that I had missed an opportunity to express Love thereby, and how often she expresses that Love. And I was aware that I had judged myself for my oversight, but by observing that lesson, I realized how much I am loved.

Last week a new book caught my eye, In Search of Stones by M. Scott Peck, M.D. In observing that book I realized how we learn to appreciate our Self in the form of others when they share their "secret thoughts", for I bought this book simply because Scott Peck wrote it. He wasn't "separate" from Self, for I "knew" him from The Road Less Traveled and Further Along The Road Less Traveled.

This morning (Thursday), while reading Stones, his reference to the scientific principle that the observed is not separate from the observer led to more understanding. This principle refers to subatomic particles, where the speed of a particle cannot be observed without affecting its direction, and its direction cannot be observed without affecting its speed. The observation itself has an effect in time and space. Peck then went on to show how psychiatric "observation" of a patient also affects the behavior of the patient.

And so the lesson became more clear to me. When we learn to accept ourselves unconditionally, we essentially become an "observer" of the things we think and do. We thus take the "energy" out of what we are "doing", removing the "judgment" of it. By this mere "observation" of ourselves, we affect our actions, becoming more aware of Love, and thus more loving.

Once having caught that thought, I began to see everything more clearly. I more fully appreciated all of the author "Selves" that had taken the time to eloquently share their thoughts in the many older and more recent books that have led to my increased awareness: Richard Bach (Jonathan Livingston Seagull, Illusions, A Gift of Wings, One); James Redfield (The Celestine Prophecy); Betty Eadie (Embraced By The Light); Brian Grattan (Mahatma I and II); God (A Course In Miracles.). And so many, many more over the years, too numerous to list.

And I even appreciated myself more, as I realized that by writing down these insights as they came to me, I made them more real, more clear. And had more appreciation of the "giving and receiving are One" concept, for in the publishing of this book, in sharing these thoughts with other parts of Self, I realize that my appreciation of all other authors sharing with me is the same appreciation of Self.

And it just keeps on going and growing. The appreciation for all of the wonderful things in life, the songs, the movies, the plays. All demonstrate Love. And appreciation of ALL actions and thoughts of ALL people, knowing that ALL are adding to the awareness of Love ALL of the time.

This is truly a wonderful way of viewing the world, with total benevolence and acceptance. While driving in the parking lot of a shopping center this morning, I observe as a man slams on the brakes when he realizes that he was about to pull into the path of two cars coming from different directions. He hadn't looked at all. He was totally unaware of anyone else in the world. He was only thinking of himself and where he was going. And yet, he helped me be more aware of Love, he helped himSelf, even though he was unaware.

What a wonderful world, that this is so!!!
