All my fussing over the unreal past and future… I dote on them, feed them breakfast in the morning, check on them regularly through the day… cunsulting with them as needed, and later tuck them into bed and snuggle up. Thanks for this beautiful piece, Sean.
Last week I dreamt I took you and Deepak Chopra on a cross country car trip. I drove, you had shotgun, Deepak was in the backseat (he had a bunch of stuff with him). Y’all were all jacked up on coffee and there was never any silence. I bought Deepak some pretty red shoes and he was thrilled. It was a marvelous ride.
One more thing…How can I bring this to my AA people? Sorry, yall…this whole amends thing has been a massive waste of time due to the unreality of the past? There will be some push back from the old-timers. (I may already know the answer to this tricky question)
Loved this Sean, just loved it. And a special thank you for this bit...
"Any problem we take to the Holy Spirit, no matter how specific, no matter how seemingly dependent on the laws of time and space, the answer is always the same: love now. Be kind now. Be gentle now. The past and the future are not our concern. Behold the birds of the heavens and consider the lilies of the field" . . .
Thank you so much for sharing this, Sean. There is so much to meditate on. I’ve been often struck by “A healed mind does not plan” (W. 135.11) and your words have helped me let the words sink a little deeper. Also, your statement “Therefore, in love, there are neither errors nor problems” provided some insight into a discussion I had with a friend on how to distinguish love from actions of the ego that I have often believed to be “love”. Could it be applied so?
How gently you lead me to removing another block to love. This is a beautiful post, Sean. I feel the love, want to be the same today. Thankyou for this holy Monday, holy instant.
Thank you Sean so much. I have copied and pasted many parts from your piece here on my go-to- notes that I read when need to be reminded of the truth. Especially this one: ‘We can’t plan for it! But we can bring it forth by learning how and why we can’t plan for it. Together, let us make it so.’
I cannot do or even contribute to planning for future, for healing, for awakening, and for correction and undoing of my errors. I need to be reminded of this aspect of the process so many many many times. In this writing you have reminded so well in many parts, I am very grateful. My contribution to bring healing of the split mind is not required, in fact realising that this is true will help bringing forth the healing. My only part is to love my brothers and be kind to all now, as you clearly reminded us.
Crystal clear and I fight it, it’s exhausting. It’s better than it was, we’re getting closer. Coming together like this shows it. Thanks Sean. Thanks everyone.

Thank You Sean! Needed to here this today 😇
