Happiness is what I am - the rest is a matter of perception, not a fact |

My perception doesn't represent the truth. It only represents my thinking, which badly needs healing. Since my partial thinking takes separation for a basis I cannot even say my thoughts are truth-oriented. Experience follows thought (1), so, when it comes to living in the dangerous world I perceive, I shouldn't expect to experience anything that goes against the anxiety of my illusional thinking - and yet this happens occasionally. The thing is, only truth is perfect and any deviation of it cannot even come close to that infallibility. Illusions are leaky vessels and my mind does not need them to reach safety. That's why I sometimes do find myself in a peaceful state of mind that no vessel could ever have transported me to, because peace already belongs to me. Yet, as long as I do not accept the reality of what I am and think myself dependent on the use of vessels, they will be used to guide me to full acceptance of reality - the only healing I need. The more I trust the reality of my moments of surrender and innocence, the easier I can be guided. But even strong resistance in me can give way any moment because fear has no foothold in reality.
