Fairy tales


When you search for reality in fantasies you will not find it.

The symbols of fantasy are of the ego, and of these you will find many.

But do not look for meaning in them. They have no more meaning than the fantasies into which they are woven.

Fairy tales can be pleasant or fearful, but no one calls them true. Children may believe them, and so, for a while, the tales are true for them.

Yet when reality dawns, the fantasies are gone. Reality has not gone in the meanwhile. 

The Second Coming is the awareness of reality, not its return.

Behold, my child, reality is here. It belongs to you and me and God, and is perfectly satisfying to all of us.

Only this awareness heals, because it is the awareness of truth.
