Many of us are probably familiar with the idea that we are currently in the process of letting go of (healing our need for) the world of 'things'. In contrast we could perhaps say that we are shifting into the world of 'no-thing', though because of the limitations of language. I have just turned 'no-thing' into a 'thing'! Such is the inevitable nature of language.

More than ever I can see that the peace that passeth all understanding, the state of 'being', the state of non-attachment, non-judgment, 'love' and 'joy' (I am using all these labels to point to the same 'no'-thing), all come from living subjectively rather than objectively.

Many of us here would agree that its impossible for another human being to hurt us or make us angry. We can see that its our own beliefs that hurt us. I can pretty much guarantee that where there is a feeling of anger there is a 'shouldnt' in the belief. For example, he 'shouldnt' let me down, she 'shouldnt' have said that, the weather 'shouldnt' be so crap.

This is a little different in style to my last blogs, but if you feel moved to, I invite you to answer these questions and see where it takes you.

Where are you reading this? Are you in your house or at work, or in the library?

Can you absolutely know for certain that your answer is true?

We cannot play AND care. Its as simple as that. When there is nothing left to care about, there is nothing to do BUT play. I am not talking about competitive games here, in which the participants clearly DO care, I am not even talking about a game of cards or dominoes. I am talking about playing in the way that babies play.

This is a little on the abstract side, but there we go. Its written to a degree from an 'as if' position.

The blogs debate this morning has brought to mind a couple of issues that I often talk about which I feel moved to mention again.

I would say that the closest we can come to being 'free' (without ever actually being free from the universal and energetic laws we are bound by) is being free from our need to love and be loved. When we have healed our need to love and be loved its as if the chains that have kept us tied to the drama of life are cut, and we are free to dance, sing, play and celebrate.

The idea of living without a need for point or purpose might sound slightly horrific to some, for me though, in my somewhat limited experience of it, its been liberating. When there is no need for point or purpose there is only play. It is like returning to the innocence of childhood in which nothing mattered, and nothing was considered 'important or significant'.

"If I can just be at peace it will be better, if I can just be in joy it will be better, if I can just let go of my ego it will be better, if I can just 'Be' it will be better, if I can just listen to my heart it will be better,if I can just allow myself to be loved it will be better, if I can just be the love that I am it will be better, if I can just stop working, striving and efforting it will
