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..."

TRUST MANTRA

I LOVE TRUSTING.

I love being impeccable to my word.

I gave my life to God; said I’d forget everything I taught myself and, be the demonstration of A Course in Miracles.

Here’s how it looks:  I accept the Atonement for myself; do the lessons impeccably~ add nothing, and don’t interfere… I adore this lifestyle. I love every aspect of it…

Wow, mind watching… The thoughts; none of them neutral, are absolutely irreverent. Haven’t you ever noticed that as soon as you ask to learn something, you get more examples of how you DON’T know what you thought you knew? Well, I do.

Today was such a day.

 Here’s how it begins:

“The idea for today is the beginning step in dispelling the belief that that your thoughts have no effects… Everything you see is the result of your thoughts. There is no exception to this fact. Thoughts are not big or little; powerful or weak. They are merely true or false. Those that are true create their own likeness. Those that are false make theirs.”

 That’s the important thing today then, yes? Take the beginning step, don’t say ‘been there, done it’… just step off… take the leap of faith into the unknown and see what Jesus is beaming up…

Key for me is not to attempt to understand or fit what the lesson into my life, but rather my life is the lesson. Practice, practice, practice… this is the only way to become a virtuoso. You can’t understand your way there.  Believe me, I know, I’ve tried it. It is seriously a poor use of denial…

No thought are neutral. All that appears to happen in life is a result of thinking false or fear-based ideas or thinking with God; thoughts that are true and love based.

How do you feel?

Merely practice the lesson, lean back and let the miracle work.

 This is yummy! I love it, from Chapter 14:

 “What cannot happen can have no effects to fear. Be quiet in your faith in Him Who loves you, and would lead you out of insanity. Madness may be you choice, but not your reality. Never forget the Love of God, Who has remembered you. For it is quite impossible that He could ever let His Son drop from the loving Mind wherein he was created, and where his abode was fixed in perfect peace forever…

Say to the Holy Spirit only, “Decide for me,” and it is done.”

 AND IT IS DONE!!!

Ok, here it is detailed out for us dummies, a little further on in the same section:

“Whenever you are in doubt what you should do, think of His Presence in you, and tell yourself this, and only this:

He leadeth me and knows the way, which I know not.

Yet He will never keep me from what he would have me learn.

And so I trust Him to communicate to me all that He knows for me.”

And that’s my new favorite mantra!

 I LOVE IT!
