Christ is my problem, my solution, and my application of that solution. He is the “real me” and the erasure of dividing lines. He is the all in all, the common bond, and the unifying thread of creation. He unites my own being and increases my awareness of union with others. The fact of Christ increases everyone”s value.
Feelings of separation occur in my relationships only when I forget my union with Christ. When I take care of the root belief system, the branches bear good fruit. If I try to fix branches without nourishing the root, relationships weaken.
The key to restoration is underground. When the wind blows and branches sway, a strong root system enables a relationship to weather a storm. I trust the inner work. I’m not asked to fix any relationship; the perpetual motion of relationship that lives in me fixes everything. Remembering that I am one with Christ is the adjustment that allows all else to align accordingly.
Feelings are storm systems, temporal in nature. I feel what I feel, but I don’t allow feelings to form beliefs. Today’s rain is tomorrow’s sunshine. Truth is above the storm, a place undisturbed by gravitational pulls and shifting patterns of hot and cold, love and hate. I acknowledge, allow, accept, and even affirm my feelings, but then I run them through the sieve of truth. They serve their purpose, and then I let them go.
