Discontinued

Life is first and foremost discontinuous. From this derives our fear and anxiety.

Bundled up

As a person, a mere mind/body, I’m a bundle of memories and habits, fears and desires, obsessions and aversions, likes and dislikes. This is just a temporary arrangement. I am not a carry-on.

The true and the false

So then, how to tell the difference between the true and the false, the real and the unreal? Whatever has a beginning and an end is false. All else is true. From A Course in Miracles: “Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists.”

Everything

Everything begins and ends. We’re good with beginnings, not so good with endings.
