I DO NOT KNOW


"Simply do this: Be still and lay aside all thoughts of what you are and what God is; all concepts you have learned about the world; all images you hold about yourself. Empty you mind of everything it thinks is either true or false, or good or bad, of every thought it judges worthy, and all the ideas of which it is ashamed. Hold onto nothing. Do not bring with you one thought the past has taught, not one belief you learned before from anthing. Forget this world, forget this course, and come with wholly empty hands unto your God..."

HALF MEASURES AVAILED US NOTHING: WE STOOD AT THE TURNING POINT (from the big book of Alcoholics Anonymous)~

Half measures availed us nothing. We stood at the turning point...

 I love this part in chapter 11 of the text about our thoughts: The world you perceive it cannot have been created by the Father, for the world is not as you see it. God created only the eternal, and everything you see is perishable. Therefore, there must be another world that you do not see…. Every loving thought the Son of God ever had is eternal. The loving thought his mind perceives in this world are the world’s only reality. They are still perceptions, because he still believes that he is separate. Yet they are eternal because they are loving. And being loving they are like the Father, and therefore cannot die. The real world can actually be perceived. Okay, are you ready? Wait for it…

All that is necessary is a willingness to perceive nothing else…

 Here’s where I’m doing business now…

Now this:

Do I want the problem or do I want the answer?

Decide for the answer and you will have it, for you will see it as it is and it is yours already.

Isn’t that awesome!

 

Ya know, it’s interesting to note just how much I like to rest on my laurels…

I said I wanted the whole shebang and that I’d trade in everything I thought I had advanced­ to thus far.

I note that parts of my mind don’t feel they signed on for this. It’s definitely a feeling of out-of–control-ness. Here’s the funny part though, I am witnessing my operating system with a curious, non-attached eye.

 It’s fun to watch my mind try to establish status quo with spiritual platitudes that have given me comfort for many years… while the love-powered light laser is zapping the he!! out of my little familiar little corner of the world. Its’ the disappearance of the universe of my thought system as it stood. and the groovy part is that I feel Jesus beside me. It so rocks!!!

Truth is, the eternal holds me comforted and secure, showing me that trust is warranted ~and all I want.

 I am only light

 Turns out, trust does solve every problem now.
