Reality Is Changeless

by Helen Gordon

What makes for life's chaos is the interpretations of reality learned through social, cultural or religious sources. It is frightening to go against the reality you have learned. Since there are often differences in the new interpretation, you fear it. It is the differences you fear yet desire.

The power of reality is what you seek yet, you frantically attempt to obliterate it with created situations, hanging on to those you value and approve. How absurd to think the value you assign will make them valuable or your approval will ever make them real.

Let go of these situations regardless of their seeming worth for they are meaningless. It is impossible to give meaning to meaningless. These situations are used to validate your denial as meaningful. Denying reality does not diminish its power or existence. Reality does not depend on you to be. It just is.

Once you relinquish your false reality, you dread accepting full responsibility of your life. No longer will there be anyone or anything you can assign blame. This you would rather forget.

Forgetfulness is often used to create your reality. Such selective memory does not destroy reality, it merely suppresses it. Fantasy created through forgetfulness is then used as justification to avoid Truth. Forgetting is a false escape from the thing you think is fearful while it is the created fantasy you should fear.

You are freed from your created fears through reality. Once you fully embrace reality you go beyond the uncertain changes of perception to changeless reality where freedom abides.

Reality may seem to change through fantasy, but it really only changes in your mind. Reality cannot be created or changed. Look at the reality you have created for yourself. Is it ideal for a child of God?
