Unlearning

"Each person is born with an unencumbered spot - free of

expectation and regret, free of ambition and embarrassment,

free of fear and worry - an umbilical spot of grace

where we were each first touched by God.  It is this spot

of grace that issues peace."

from the Book of awakening

Isn't it amazing to realize that we are born with 

all the true knowledge we ever need ...

spend years learning things that cloud that knowledge ...

and then spend the rest of our lives 

unlearning all that extra stuff!  

A newborn baby has no expectations of themselves,

no need to prove,

no need to compete,

no need to seek safety and security 

and approval ...

the newborn accepts themselves without question,

just as they are!

A newborn has not yet learned to compare,
to judge,
or to be afraid!

A newborn has no conditioning to make them think

they are separate and apart from God.

So, a newborn simply lives in truth!!

It is in that newborn space that I find the deepest peace!

ONENESS!

How grateful I am for unlearning!
