The Keys to the Kingdom

Amazingly, the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven don't unlock the door to Heaven, they unlock the doors to all that you thought you were that you are not.  It's about wrong belief.  It's about a wrong direction that one could never head in the first place.  It is always about unbecoming what you are not, because your reality cannot change.  Reality is the one thing that can never change.  It doesn't need our help to augment it, make it better, make it more magical or wonderful.


Those thoughts that Reality needed to bend to our puny will are the thoughts that need forgiveness.  Why would you want to change Reality?  Do you even know what Reality is?  Until one knows what Reality is, one cannot make a judgment about whether or not it needs to change; isn't this a different way of looking, of seeing?  There is nothing wrong, ever, ever, ever.  It is that we think something is wrong.  The whole of the ego is the thought system that something, anything could be wrong, and, therefore, in need of changing.  How does one know?  How does one know Reality?  By unlearning everything one thought was Reality.  By negating all those lies that one has told themselves over and over in an attempt to escape, rather than accept, Life.  Accept Life, and one accepts all that there ever was.

It seems like an eternity that I have struggled, struggled with Life, struggled with my thoughts of how I thought things should be.  It is the struggle that has ended, and the Way forward is shown as being so gentle, so magnificent, so grand that my heart is bursting with gratitude.  It was the struggling that needed to end, because I only struggled against that which could not change.
