IF LOVE IS THE ANSWER~
WHAT’S THE QUESTION?
Honestly; love completes itself, so what is there to question. What is there to want or need, in that Love is everything forever?
Whenever I have been angry, frustrated, disappointed or held a grievance of any kind, once investigated honestly, I have seen that beneath whatever injustice I had associated with that person or situation, I found I was ashamed of myself such that it was intolerable for me to hold responsibility for creating the situation. I did not love and I could not bear the bare fact of my lovelessness.
Every time. Forgiveness is the only remedy. I see my mistaken association with my self-concept and recognize that I could not be my Self. I see that what I have laid over my brothers
Is there anything lovelier than the perfect love? Love really does run the show.
I am overwhelmed; right now, with the gratitude I call my life. Ah, but to fulfill my function and light the world with the joy that comes with an aligned unified purpose of salvation. I will but to live the demonstration that I have accepted God’s Will for perfect happiness through accepting the Atonement for my Self.
Love is the theme. And quite frankly, love is always the theme, yes?
Just a few more thoughts in gratitude for an experience of love so real it cannot be described… Yet, something prompts expression…
Love is whole, full, complete, totality. Love is the divine experience of the eternal. It is changeless and for all time, everywhere. Love is God, Mind, Self. It is known only by experience. Yet it is the experience of undenialbility.
Love being One, has no opposite.
God is Love. And Love is God
Not only is this our inheritance. It is all that is; all that we are.
Love created me like itself. And love can only be what it is, knowing only itself. There is no fear in love. Where God is, there is no other. Love is one
Love can be but Itself and knows only Itself. Love and fear, God and the world, have no meeting point. The awareness of One implies the nonexistence of the other.
You, my Love, my brother, my
Thank you.
I love you.
I’m interested in one thing. PEACE! Period. It is so easy to allow ourselves to get distracted or sidetracked from the one goal to which the Course aims. PEACE. Problems solving really appeals to the strategic mind. But peace is beyond it. I know, I’m a smart gal. I have never been able to solve a problem and while being in perfect peace. Peace and problems are incongruent with each other. Sure, problem-solving can distract, feel grandiose and even sedate the focus of attention on the pain of the problem. That is its best shot. It is not peace.
Having been that route and failed. I look for one thing and one thing only in every situation: Does it meet the test of perfect peace. I judge the answer by the way I feel. Do I feel awesome? Free? Happy and joyous? Peaceful and content? Imperturbable? Unafraid? Do I want to share and give and blend? Do I see the same all about me?
Where’s the problem now? NOWHERE!
If I am not feeling this way, I have missed the mark in my perception and I need a re-focus. Forgiveness is that refocus. I invite the Holy Spirit to show me the meaning of what I behold, and wait. Here’s what I’ve found. If I will do just that~ bring my thinking under Jesus’ guidance and wait… ‘Patience is natural to those who trust’... the serene awareness that I need do nothing, but accept what has been done for me, a blanket of peace spreads within and settles over me.
For the longest time I didn’t get this. I was looking for an answer to my problem, unwilling to let the problem go. I was only making statements of my facts and then asking the Holy Spirit to be my errand boy for the solution I thought I needed. But here’s the marker~ even when I got what I thought was the answer, it did not satisfy. Only God satisfies. Only His Peace, and only His plan for salvation.
Here’s what I have found. No methods in this world work. All methods are stepping stones when the whole problem of separation is given over to the Holy Spirit. Seen from the addicted or problem mind, they are all what the Course refers to as magic. The temptation to fix on a new healing program, add more, seemingly new information about your body type or personality type or even how you run energy is just an attempt to raise body thoughts to the level of mind. I ask myself this question: what am I looking for? Why am I searching? Searching itself is a total distraction from my function of forgiveness. Where does my certainty and safety rest?
Everything I did before in the name of safety no longer interests me. I am safe, and I know it to be so. I have a Guide Who will not fail. And it stops there. I have the answer. It is the love I am with which I light the world.
I AM ABSOLUTELY BUBBLING OVER WITH GRATITUDE!
I AM BURSTING WITH JOY AND LIGHT AND LOVE…
EXUBERANCE IS MY
I LOVE IT!
I accepted the Atonement for myself… The world; its people, myself/life, shifted on its axis and spun into eternity.
Right here, right now, this moment, this holy instant of eternity... join me in the mighty crusade …Will you?
It is inevitable. We, who never left our source, will return the mind to its up-right position… The players seemingly are the same, but the game is different. Everyone is in it to win together and no one can be left behind. Each relationship is seen as the holy moment of full healing, now. Whether it’s my turn to play, or I am witnessing the exchange of brothers, all is seen as the Self; potent and powerful and healing. My senses are fine-tuning to subtle nuances of love presence… its coin spinning on its edge of extension and request... healing both parties.
I don’t know how I didn’t see it for the longest time, looping back into the unreal… But suddenly it was so simple. I can’t believe I didn’t see it. Save it to say, that vision revealed the unreality of conflict to me.
I don’t know what your particular gig is. A major teaching device for me was a construct called alcoholism. In that curriculum, I learned that there was no compromise in choosing. It is all or nothing. You can’t think about drinking in any form and not be signing in for the next class. There are some trains of thought you just don't get on. Ones like drinking, that you don't even look at the 'travel brochure, for... You train your mind not to go there. You deny it passage. I learned what it means to deny the power of anything not of God to hurt me. I learned to look past error to the truth of God’s creation; to deny fear and accept love.
Duh! How could I not have seen the simple generality of the training to the entire ego-thought system, right then, from the application to alcoholism, directly to everything… hard head!
Then Bing! There it was/is…
Deny anything that is not of God as real… Deny the ability of anything not of God to affect you. This is the proper use of denial. It is not used to hide anything, but to correct error. It brings all error into the light, and since error and darkness are the same, it corrects error automatically.
True denial is a powerful protective device. You can and should deny any belief that error can hurt you. This kind of denial is not concealment but a correction. Your right mind depends on it. Denial of error is a strong defense of truth, but denial of truth results in miscreation, the projections of the ego. In the service of the right mind the denial of error frees the mind. And re-establishes the freedom of he will. When the will is really free it cannot miscreate, because it recognizes only truth.
Now here’s the transfer of training the Jesus tells us is critical to our training. With practice and application of the Course principals, apparently we ready ourselves to accept the whole change of mind~ and accept the Atonement for ourselves.
Seemingly, in the twinkling of an eye, I am now looking past conflict to the request love and my part in the miracle my love brings. My automatic response is now: How can I be helpful… I see my brothers guiltless. And see that they are my salvation. I feel my indebtedness to them as Christ and am instantly united in purpose of forgiving, blessing and saving… There is no conflict, only love is real…
Thank you.
I love you.
Love is always transmitting: The Holy Spirit within our minds is the pure translator-station.
Love is. Love is the nucleus. God is Love. Love is where God is. God is where Love is. I am where God is. I am where Love is. Love is where I am. I am love.
Love is not something extra we add to a situation or relationship we bring the situation or relationship into the love that we are.
Love has its way; every moment of everyday. It is relentless with its presence. It compels all with in its frequency. Its reaches are limitless; giving all to all, inexhaustibly.
Upon awaking, there is Love, already, burning life in heart and belly, delivering light to mind and sight to eyes.
Love expands at the speed of light, energy moving limbs and actions into the original day within and before, reaching out touching everyone in mind and path.
I am tuned-in. Withdrawing belief in fear in favor of Love, zeros one into Love’s frequency. Withdrawing belief in illusions in favor of truth through the systematic mind training by the Holy Spirit is intended for this direct experience of God, of Love, of Heaven, Now. Here’s where I like to operate; at the frequency of love. Which is the same frequency Jesus can be found. And incidentally, it is where I find you, my brothers.
Joyously, gratefully I join you there. Tune in.
SONSHINE~BLESSED SONSHINE~ God is my strength, vision is his gift.
It is a cloudy day here in the world. Yet, I see only light. It’s an inner light I project~ It is the sun of perfect oneness. You might say I see only the Son. I see with the light of forgiveness; a forgiven world.
Here’s where I place my focus as far as my brothers are concerned. Which is, lets face it, everything.
I am here only to be truly helpful.
I am here to represent Him Who sent me.
I do not have to worry about what to say or what to do,
Because He Who sent will direct me.
I am content to be wherever He wishes,
Knowing He goes there with me.
I will be healed as I let Him teach me to heal.
I love it!
It’s really something when you absolutely recognize that your brother, each and every one, no matter what, holds the key to your getting everything you want, to Heaven and the peace of God. I don’t mean ‘getting’ it in conceptual terms, I’m talking about SEEING~ you no longer attempt to order your brothers into hierarchies, you accept them completely, with full gratitude, and accept nothing else. Here a joining so grand takes place, the world is healed, as the mind is healed in the recognition of oneness through purpose. We are miracle-workers. We are the light of the world.
As we accept only God’s strength we trust and see…
God is my strength, Vision is His gift
The recognition of the part as whole, and the of the whole in every part is perfectly natural, for it is the God thinks, and what is natural to Him is natural to you. Wholly natural perception would show you instantly that order of difficulty in miracles is quite impossible, for it involves a contradiction of what miracles mean…
You have done miracles, but it is quite apparent that you have not done them alone. You have succeeded whenever you have reached another mind and joined with it. When tow minds join as one and share one idea equally, the first link in the awareness of the Sonship as one has been made…
Astonishing, yes? Not really, is it? You are familiar with this experience, aren’t you? I know! Awesome isn’t it!
Now here this, from the same section of the text:
The Host of God has called to you, and you have heard.
Hear that? You know it’s true. Nothing else will ever substitute again…
Never again will you be wholly willing not to listen.
Yeah! Believe it. And trust…. Look what it says. This is the YEAR OF JOY! Listen:
This is a year of joy, in which your listen will increase and peace will grow with its increase. The power of holiness and the weakness of attack are both being brought into your awareness…
Today, let us resolve together to accept the joyful tidings that disaster is not real and that reality is not disaster. Reality is safe and sure, and wholly kind to everyone and everything.
And here it is; the final say:
There is no greater love than to accept this and be glad. For love ask only that you be happy, and will give you everything that makes for happiness.
Honestly? Who could ask for anything more?
Happiness!
The truth is present now. It resides at the frequency of God. Our holiness or wholeness is the center of creation radiating inclusion in completion. In other words, it is the frequency of light, of love, of creation.
You can’t search for it. You are it. There is no holiness outside yourself, because there is nothing outside of you. There is nothing excluded in your holiness, because holiness by definition is inclusion.
This is God. He leaves nothing out.
Exclusion is the ego’s game. It is a very dense frequency and uses the body to prove its validity. If the mind is trapping itself in the space/time continuum; looking at the world from a past/future, me and others perspective, then the mind is identified with the ego identity.
But you are not the ego. You are Christ. And there is nothing your holiness cannot do.
So here’s the groovy part about holiness; it includes everything equally and perfectly.
What I have come to realize is that it is my frequency that needs attention. And it is actually very simple to shift to a higher frequency.
Think of God.
Think love.
Think oneness~wholeness~holiness.
Think peace.
Smile.
Forgive.
Be still and listen.
Laugh.
Hug.
Apply any Course lesson to anything.
Read poetry.
Pray.
Be grateful.
Okay, if you did as instructed you should be feeling light and happy.
This is what the mind-training of A Course in Miracles does for us.
We begin to vibrate at the frequency of peace. Even the slightest disturbance to our peace of mind, is quickly given over in forgiveness in the name of wholeness or our holiness.
All of creation is happening simultaneously. What we experience is in direct relation to our relationship with God.
When we are tuned to the frequency of our holiness, we literally see and hear our oneness in all our conversations and encounters. Every encounter is experienced as holy and it totally makes sense.
My holiness is my gift. I keep the light on and the love frequency signal strong.
This is the only conversation to have and the only place to be.
Thanks for tuning in.
I LOVE YOU!
People love it when you are doing this lesson. They see the look of sincerity in your eyes and your determination to see the light in them and see them blessed and happy.
On some deep level they recognize themselves as the very light you are extending.
It’s a beautiful thing.
“This idea contains the first glimmerings of your true function in the world, or why you are here. Your purpose is to see the world through your own holiness. Thus are you and the world blessed together. No one loses; nothing is taken away from anyone; everyone gains through your holy vision. It signifies the end of sacrifice, because it offers everyone his full due. And he is entitled to everything, because it is his birthright as a Son of God…”
So, there you have it!
If you were looking for your purpose, there it is!
For years I just wanted to “find my purpose in life”; took seminars, did therapy, education, yada yada… You know, we’ve all done it.
And here it is in black and white. The Course is uncompromising.
My purpose is to see the world through my own holiness.
This is how I shine as the light of world. I bless you with my holiness by seeing the light in you. And recognizing that light is mine and we are one.
Jesus shows us the direct route. He says there is a spark of light in every one of us. No one is excluded. So our job is super simple.
Look around. Whatever your eyes light upon, Bless it.
You can feel the love you have within, just by the act, yes?
Now whatever brother you come upon, know he is your savior and that as you bless him with holiness you will recognize his light and your wholeness.
This is our salvation. I love it!
I bless you with my holiness, and receive you gifts of holiness, now.
Thank you.
I love you.
My mind is part of God’s. I am very holy.
I’m like a lighthouse in the fog, shining the light I share with God for the weary traveler. Often, the weary traveler has been me. Yet, however dimly, or seldom; passionately of often I turned toward it, it is always on...
You can’t really loose your way. You can sure convince yourself you have, sicken and dishearten yourself. Believe me I’ve run the whole sad story out. You could even kill the body off to prove you’re right, but it’s all just a dark and scary dream.
The instant you turn in the true direction; the light is on. There, within range is the lighthouse guiding you home.
So forgive and go home.
There is virtually nothing you can do to affect the past.
Nothing!
Why concern yourself with it?
Why wish it would have gone differently?
Why ruminate about what was said and what you wish you would have said?
It’s past.
Why hope it doesn’t affect negatively on how someone sees you or on future events.
They don’t exist.
They’re not here and now, and you’re not there.
Why not concern yourself with the facts?
1. I am mind.
2. My mind is part of God’s.
3. I am very holy.
4. I am not this person that experienced the thing in the past.
5. I am not here.
6. I am mind asleep; projecting error and making up stories.
Or
I am mind awake; extending love and creating with my Creator…
I see what and where I believe I am.
I am the thought of God.
Always have been~ always will be.
My mind is part of God’s. I am very holy.
Now doesn’t that make life so much more fun?
Together, we say YES! to God…
I love you. 1.
Everything goes my way!
Here’s why: I have invented the world I see.
‘Everything goes my way’, is one of my favorite mantras and directives. It always reminds me that nothing is ever happening without my say so. I started saying this all the time when I realized that I am not a victim, EVER. I look within and project out what I would see there.
Therefore, whatever is happening is my fault.
Upon first recognition of this fact, the tendency was to judge myself, feel overwhelmed, guilty, ashamed and hopeless. I could not make thing stop going wrong. I sabotaged every “good” thing that showed up… anything to restore a sense of futility and pointlessness…
Then l I got it! Yeah, duh! My invention of this world is meaningless. Identified with it, I am completely powerless to make good out of $h!t.
I recognized my total dependence on GOD! ~YEAH!
Talk about AH HA! What naturally followed was a piercing willingness to look within to the part of the mind that remembers God and can create with Him.
Jesus tells us in chapter 6 “The Lessons of Love” in the ‘Lessons of the Holy Spirit section that once we have taken the first step we will be helped. Once we have chosen what we cannot complete alone, we are no longer alone…
He’s got it wired for all things working together for good.
This is the reason I can rest assured that everything goes my way. My way is God’s way.
I signed on with Jesus and follow Him. He gave a new blue print to follow as a creator. It’s called A Course in Miracles.
When you’re coming out of being scared of your own shadow; operating from a premise of fear, looking toward the light, it’s nice to have some specific direction. Isn’t it.
So here they are from chapter 6 “The Lessons of Love” in the ‘Lessons of the Holy Spirit:
To have, give all to all…
To have peace, teach peace to learn it…
Be vigilant only for God and His kingdom…
If you want to give yourself a real treat today. And I suggest you do, go read this most awesome section and join my love for it.
I love you!
Above all else I want to see this differently.
Here’s my life.
I see things differently. I see them differently than I did yesterday. I see things differently than I did last month, last year, a decade ago, than I did in my childhood.
The question is how open my mind is.
I am in Heaven. Right now.
From here, everything looks basically the same; a bunch of forms shimmering in the light of love.
Then there are the times when I find myself smack-dab in a personal story, and actually believing for a minute that it matters.
The thing about a wholehearted commitment to follow Jesus and learn the skill set of A Course in Miracles is that I am never more than an instant away from recognizing the classroom for what it is. Forgiveness is always at the ready, lighting the back of my mind. I forgive the personal delusion I place in front of the face of Christ and trust vision to reveal the truth.
There is only love. This I know. This world is a world of perception. Period. There are no classifications; right or wrong, good or bad. They are exactly the same~ false. Only the truth is true. What I perceive doesn’t matter. It is what I perceive with that does. I set the goal at the beginning and decide to look upon the face of Christ.
I love the classroom analogy. I am on a mission from God. My life is the classroom where I, taking direction from my teacher, apply the lessons to whatever seems to happen. None of it matters. It is a curriculum.
If you don’t take it personally, you can just take direction. Curriculum isn’t personal. It is a means to an end.
Here’s a case in point for you. When I was in college taking psychology courses and learning about diagnosis and mental illness, whatever particular disorder we were learning about, I met the criteria. I began to think, “OMG, I have a borderline personality disorder. I’m totally narcissistic. I am obsessive-compulsive…what the bleep do I think I’m doing becoming a therapist?”
Then my instructor told us that everybody displays some of these characteristics. And I was like, “whew”, and let it go.
See, now that’s all we have to do with the ‘disorder’ we call our personal life, our perceptual world. LISTEN TO OUR INSTRUCTOR and quit taking it personally.
I am only light.
You and I are One Love united in our Creator.
I love you.
We’re at ‘factory reset’ in the lesson curriculum. That’s techno-speak for starting fresh, clean, empty… restoring your computer to its original settings…
We realize we were blind and now we want to really see... above all else.
The Course is forever practical. The lessons are laid out in parts and stages. Like right now, if you began at the beginning of the year with lesson one. You’re realizing that you’re basically blind; in your thinking and seeing. Your programming is faulty. Whatever you did this far in your life for perfect peace, failed. Halleluiah! So, recognizing that what you thought you saw didn’t mean anything except the self-serving meaning you gave it. And, that you were wrong in your interpretation…All your exhausting little efforts to keep the game running, crashed. Instead of winning, you’re dying. You’ve been in denial.
You’re not living. You’re watching a movie of some life that fails over and over. Beneath the movie goggles you’re totally blind.
Above all else I want to see! ~
There’s it is…
FACTORY RESET!
Above all else I want to see…
I’ve been learning the techno world of computers and cyberspace and the information highway, for the past couple years. It’s been a total trip. It is like being on a different planet. And for years I didn’t think I wanted to travel there.
It was because I was afraid I would fail at it.
I did.
Oh, sure I told myself lots of lofty reasons why it wasn’t important and didn’t matter. And all of them in one context were true enough. The thing is, I was afraid and I was using these ideas to medicate that fear and justify lack of trust. And the only place to put denial and dishonesty is in the “private thoughts” vault in my mind. And of course that doesn’t really work anymore. It upsets the integrity of my love-based thought system and the lights and sirens start going off…. ‘RESTORE PEACE! RESTORE PEACE!’
I love it!
FACTORY RESET!
So, I signed on with cyber-enterprise, and started learning how to use the computer generated communication devise. I ‘m having a ball…
It’s totally fun to see how as soon as I get carried away and forge out on some new venue, I fail at it. Everything crashes and nothing that used to work, works.
I download more information and programs to help and I just overload my computer’s memory with insignificant crap and that messes with my computer’s stability and ability to function.
FACTORY RESET!
You know what is really awesome. Everything.
When you see, everything is amazing, awe-some and wonder-ful.
But that’s not what I was referring to.
My twin bother, Dirk, just contacted me on Skype, which is this very cool way to talk through commuter technology to people anywhere in the world, and/or cyberspace. Dirk hooked me up!
So he is like this enlightened computer/cyber genius/guru. He's been around the block and done the footwork for me. I can simply go to him, follow his instruction and he leads me out of darkness, into the light of understanding and back home to cyber-peace.
I love it! I love him!
This is Jesus!
So, I’m sure you see where this is going. But, for me, I’m going to spell it out.
Life always goes like that, doesn’t it? You’re going along, thinking you’re really getting this living thing down. You’re smarter than the average bear. You’re getting that relationship, house, success or whatever ~ getting spiritual. And BAM! You fail. Or, more often than not, the whole system gets clogged up with right/wrong, scarcity/loss, them and us, fear based ideas. You study success manuals and self-help books and go to another seminar, go to therapy… well you know…
It all fails! You fail! We always, naturally fail in this world. That’s the deal.
I love it.
That is the whole gig. It’s supposed to fail.
Until we recognize our total dependence on God; that His Will for us is perfect happiness, perfect peace, and perfect love, we fail.
Now we can learn.
Ok, so here’s Jesus. He totally hooks us up!!!
He knows me as the Son of God I am. He did the footwork for us. He is always available.
He provides the tools of the trade: A Course in Miracles with detailed instructions. He leads me from crucifixion to resurrection in every aspect of my life; out of darkness of guilt and hatred to the light of forgiveness and understanding, from fear to love, from the hell I made to the Heaven created for me by God, and home to God Himself where I always am…
Above all else…
There is no way to identify with being a human being and feel invulnerable. The world projected from that identity is one of attack. It was made, after all, as an attack on God; as an attempt to establish authorship of myself and God. It is the quintessential mark of the separation. It is the compulsive need to be right.
The journey to the cross was the last foolish journey, Jesus asks that I but accept it as my own, and join his resurrection. This means I can literally discontinue in the hopeless repetitive compulsive attempts to re-enact the separation, the loss of power, the ridiculous attempts, as identified with the ego, to restore innocence through attacking myself through guilt or quilting (murdering) my brothers in self-defense. …
I love this line from chapter 4: “Do not make the pathetic human error of "clinging to the old rugged cross." The only message of the crucifixion is in respect for man's ability to OVERCOME the cross. Unless he does so, he is free to crucify himself as often as he chooses.”
My real worth is in my divine authorship. Jesus can only guide me from my ego if I am identify myself, however briefly, as Spirit; the guiltless Son of God. That is the essence of what I have come to.
It is only when I am identified with God; Christ and the sonship that I experience freedom from the impending vulnerability of a guilty past and the subsequent retribution or reciprocity. These are part of the time/space belief in separation.
The Son of God rests in the eternal now, and I am God’s Son, as He created. I identify with Spirit which is in a state of grace. This opens my mind to re-learn the meaning of the world… as well as my part in its salvation. I know that I don’t understand what anything means…and, I don’t try to understand. I ask, “How can I be helpful?”
I world I see reflects the thoughts I hold in my mind about what I think I am. Period.
I am only light. And I am here to light the world with the happy message of Atonement.
I, personally, have no clue how to do this… WOW!
I just know that this is the only job I want. It is the only thing I believe in anymore. It’s the only thing I believe has any chance of lasting happiness and the only thing that brings me joy… always, constantly ~ NOW, always already….
I follow in the way appointed me by Jesus. The method given me that spells it out is A Course in Miracles. Thank you, Jesus.
It’s a matter of practice and repetition, practice and repetition. No one, including Jesus/Holy Spirit can do it for me. Prayer is not enough. The habit of engaging with God is developed the same way all my personal ‘comfort’ habits, like ‘attack to stave off vulnerability, were developed. Practice and repetition.
I have a standing appointment with God, to come as Spirit, first thing every morning. I get up at the wee hours as a dedication to the lack of interference and I get still. I have been doing this one act, even when I was hung-over and ashamed, since the beginning of my relationship with A Course in Miracles, over 20 years ago.
It’s a habit.
So too is the habit of getting still and turning inward when I truly want peace. When the world around me does not seem like it is my fault, I have the habit of looking inward at my thoughts and asking for another way of perceiving.
I had no language, except maybe the beggar’s cry, with which to talk to God when I first started this date with Jesus, called A Course in Miracles. The Course took my symbols and washed them clean, rearranged them in a way that felt honest and let them flow like love through my mind and lips.
It’s funny, even as a child, I knew deep down that all the apologizing and making promises and pleading were not what God would have of me, but what I need to do for myself. But I had no other point of reference that didn’t feel phony. Eventually, I quit trying. I had taught myself I was too ashamed to show up again with the same old dirge. See: practice and repetition. That’s how it’s done in this world.
I have a habit of using the lessons to correct my thinking, and restore my mind to peace. So I keep doing them. It’s a stabilizing recommitment to my singular purpose in God.
My attack thoughts attack my invulnerability. Today’s lesson shows me how t identify where attack thoughts are currently operating in my life and how to loosen there grip. I love it. It works every time! Don’t take my word for it. Try it yourself.
Try it yourself, try making and keeping a standing date with God; praying in gratitude that the answer is given. Appreciating everything as is; letting all things be exactly as they are… trust…
Practice and repeat. Practice and repeat.
I love you.
You know what really simplified things for me. Purpose is the only choice. That statement right there! Purpose assigns meaning. What is it for? What do I want and how much do I want it? These questions from the Course have been a steady blue-print for me toward clarity. If I want the light of understanding, I ask; what is the meaning of what I perceive? What is it for? What do I want and how much do I want it? This stills my mind so I can here the voice for God answer.
His purpose is the only one I am interested in. All joy comes from doing Gods Will.
The rest the so-called choices are not really choices at all. They are the voluntary re-forgetting of meaning. It is a willing addiction to the authority problem. All meaning is found in God.
And my purpose in this world is to forgive the world all that I assigned it to be. I give over every meaning I have to be reinterpreted by the One who know what meaning is. I forget what I though it was and wait for the Holy Spirit to show me how I can be helpful.
I hold in memory only the loving thoughts exchanged in what I call my past, or fantasies of the future, and shine the light.
I have a purpose God would have me fill.
I’ve given up voluntary dis-spiriting. Where once I gave over to temptation, I now quickly forgive, forget, and get on with the business at hand, blessing the world with holiness. I look for the face of Christ as a replacement for what I once thought I saw. I have joined Jesus in the only purpose I can see in the world. I merely follow him.
My willingness brought miracles and the experience of the power of love as communication through miracles. This then, brings about the proper alignment with purpose, which makes being vigilant for only God and His kingdom, increasingly desirable and natural. Re-acquaintance with the Self is inevitable and as certain as God. And here’s where it gets fun. Once you know yourself, you are free. The choice is made to stand in the singular purpose of Love and join the mighty companions on the way home. I love it!
Joy to the world forgiveness unveils!
Look at this gorgeous passage from chapter 30 of the text. It is just too beautiful. Listen:
Within your hand is everything you need to walk with perfect confidence away from fear forever. And to go straight on, and quickly reach the gate of heaven itself. For he whose hand you hold was waiting but for you to join him. Now that you have come, would he delay in showing you the way that he must walk with you? His blessing lies on you as surely as his Father's love rests upon him. His gratitude to you is past your understanding, for you have enabled him to rise from chains, and go with you together to his Father's house. An ancient hate is passing from the world, and with it goes all hatred and all fear. Look back no longer, for what lies ahead is all you ever wanted in your hearts.
Thank you for uniting in faith and love and purpose…
I love you
