Onions and Diamonds
Good Morning DearHearts,
This thought/title came to me many years ago and I kept telling myself to put it to paper. In the meantime I have heard many other Teachers use the same onion metaphor; more proof of the joining of our minds and no private thoughts. So here are some of my thoughts about the subject.
The ego mind is like an onion, it has many layers and a slippery film in between the layers that makes it harder to peel back. Each layer can seem to be of different thicknesses and some certainly are easier to discard. Going through the layers can bring forth tears to the one who is doing the dissecting , because at times the action of discarding layer upon layer of the onion stings and can seem to cause great pain.
Have you ever peeled an onion? If you have, then you will have noticed that as you get to the center of the vegetable, the layers get smaller and tighter, almost like they are protecting the very inner part. However, when you get to the very core of the onion there is nothing there. No treasure lies in the center of the onion, and there is no treasure at the core of the ego either.
In contrast the Holy Mind is like a multi faceted diamond. A Light shines upon it. This Light is reflected out and the diamond seems even more brilliant than before. Each ray of light enhances the diamond so that the Light becomes all that is noticed when gazing upon it. As the light is reflected through the diamond, all of the parts shine together. There is not one part that is greater than the next- all shine equally. Each part of the Sonship is one of the facets and as the Light illuminates each one, the Power of the God Mind radiates outward to be experienced by ALL.
We can bask in the beauty of the Holy Mind or we can fight off the tears of the ego’s onion mind.
One choice will fill our hearts with an experience that is actually impossible to put into words. The other choice will fuel stories of discontent that will be retold numerous times. Each painful retelling is given with the characters playing different parts, yet always the story ends the same.
Perhaps, it’s time for each of us to pick a new story. It is obvious that the current collective narrative is both frightening and painful. We have decided to expose our minds to the some of the most extreme situations and villains seen in modern times. We have collectively decided to join in the destruction of our earth home by using deadly chemicals and not having respect for other living creatures, whether they are on two legs or more.
From where does this self hatred come?
And YES- this is the reason for the frightening dream. We can not heal our world until we heal our minds. Minds cannot heal if they harbor a loathing within for their own existence. Special hate relationships hide the love that lies within. Special love relationships will keep us looking outside to find what really can only be found within. This recognition allows the specialness to be exposed to the mind so the mind can heal.
As long as specialness is valued and kept hidden it will continue to produce (get it?) tears.
On Saturday August 27th Bob Friedman and I will be presenting our second workshop on relationships. This one will be exploring the special hate/love relationship each has within. The location is at The Pride Center in Wilton Manors, the time is from 11:00AM until 1:30ish. The cost is only $30.00.
If you reside in the South Florida vicinity and would like more information, you can contact me at jstarmiracle@gmail.com
