So many times we focus our attention on what we don't like or what we want to change, particularly in other people. Have you noticed lately how much other people need to change? It's not the big things that get us. It's the habitual ways they leave a used tissue on a desk. Are they recycling and planning to use it again? Just with a reaction like that we can start going down a trail of a dozen other things we don't like. Our resistance is up and, if we're lucky, we notice that "separation" starts to set in by feelings of discontent. As we ask ourselves, "how many times have we pushed against reality and changed it?" we have to reluctantly admit the truth. Not once. We know these feelings mean that we are moving away from Oneness, not toward it. And so we lower our resistance by letting go, and begin to feel peace, peace, peace, love, love, love, by choosing to feel these feelings and be in these states of mind. And we become, once more, the good and loving person that we really are. But it's a lesson we seem to only learn in 24 hours periods. We have to work on it everyday.
