MIND AWAKE~ I LOVE IT!

I love this book "I Am That" by Nisargadatta Maharaj

I highly recommend it. 

Here are a few yummy quotes about being awake, I think you'll love. 

"To see clearly, your mind must be pure and unattached. 

Unless you know yourself well, how can you know another? 

And when you know yourself-~ you are the other". 

"You are the Self, here and now. Leave the mind alone, stand aware and

unconcerned and you will realize that to stand alert but detached,

watching events come and go, is an aspect of your real nature".

"Past and future are in the mind only - I am now".

~Nisaragadatta Maharaj

I LOVE YOU.

Only Love is Real~All the rest is just so much silly noise...

Gosh, it’s been a while since I posted on this blog.

Vacation was perfect. While in Salt Lake, holy encounters ruled the day. Many old friends and new showed up for luscious communion, delightful gatherings and miracles all around. We laughed a lot. One friend shared the following poem:

Hokusai says Hokusai says look carefully. He says pay attention, notice. He says keep looking, stay curious. He says there is no end to seeing He says look forward to getting old. He says keep changing, you just get more who you really are. He says get stuck, accept it, repeat yourself as long as it is interesting. He says keep doing what you love. He says keep praying. He says every one of us is a child, every one of us is ancient every one of us has a body. He says every one of us is frightened. He says every one of us has to find a way to live with fear. He says everything is alive -- shells, buildings, people, fish, mountains, trees, wood is alive. Water is alive. Everything has its own life. Everything lives inside us. He says live with the world inside you. He says it doesn't matter if you draw, or write books. It doesn't matter if you saw wood, or catch fish. It doesn't matter if you sit at home and stare at the ants on your veranda or the shadows of the trees and grasses in your garden. It matters that you care. It matters that you feel. It matters that you notice. It matters that life lives through you. Contentment is life living through you. Joy is life living through you. Satisfaction and strength is life living through you. He says don't be afraid. Don't be afraid. Love, feel, let life take you by the hand. Let life live through you.

Words to live by, yes?

How absolutely blessed I am! Thank you, all my holy companions.  

  I have felt inspired to play with my new blog. It is about the addiction to the body. I am using a different blogging system, so there is a lot for me to learn. And I am loving learning about it. Here’s the link if you want to check it out.

 HEALING THE BODY/FOOD GAME LOVE’S WAYI 

“The Holy Spirit, ever practical in His wisdom, accepts your dreams and uses them as a means for waking. You would have used them to remain asleep. I said before that the first change, before dreams disappear, is that your dreams of fear are changed to happy dreams.” ~Chapter 18

Love and gratitude over-flowing…

 

 

  

 

ROAD TRIP~MIRACLES' STYLE

Parker and I are on an adventure. We had a plan. Then, yesterday, seemingly out of the blue, I thought ROAD-TRIP, right now. Off we went. A super yummy thing about the practice of turning ones mind to the Holy Spirit for direction, and then giving up the reins, is that you have sudden shifts into adventurousness, unforeseen till right at the instant it shows up. I try to go with it.

We had this awesome ‘lost in the dark, don’t know where we’re going…itzybit scary moment’ last night~ Then, loud and clear, I thought to call Randi.

 Now, for those of you that don’t know, Randi is the Holy Spirit personal assistant incarnate. Turns out, she can find me clear over near Flagstaff Arizona (going the wrong way) and pick my car up, metaphorically speaking, and deliver it to the Hotel in Flagstaff to stay for the night.

Yep! She’s that good.

We had a totally holy encounter with Sky, the yummy hotel attendant gal, when we checked in. She was a riot. Plus she is reading the fourth Twilight book “Breaking Dawn”. Parker noticed and triggered a great conversation about letting go of old beliefs and ideas about what’s “right or wrong” and trusting that if Love is guiding, we need to shift around it or we will miss the gifts it’s bringing.

So yeah, that was that holy encounter.

I’m writing this from a hotel room in Flagstaff Arizona.~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Another day with another view~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We spent the most awesome evening with my father and his beautiful wife. They are amazing. They are real and holy and honest and engaging~ totally present and available. We shared and experienced each other and the miracles our lives have become.

Catch this! They are alive in the practice of A Course in Miracles. I am lifted up in their presence and the union of our purpose in God’s plan for the salvation of the world.

How lucky am I to have a forgiven and healed holy relationship with this beautiful man, my father. His journey has been as my own. And his humble willingness to share his healing and miracles blesses me with his holiness.

Does it get any better than that? To have your dad healed and forgive you and love you… And, also be in love with A Course in Miracles?

It totally rocks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Now we are at my mother’s Bed & Breakfast.

Have I mentioned how everything goes my way? Everything, is happening for me… And everyone else…

So, we arrive and there is a boy so much like Parker, they could be twins, bell-hopping for Mama. They totally hit it off. And are having a ball. Which totally leaves me available to hang out with my Mama and sister. It has been an evening of rich sharing, massage and anointing with love. I have burst at the seams with the light of love… It’s awesome.

~So, yeah, I keeps being the most perfect moment ever. That’s just how miracle-living works.

Thank you.

I love you.

MY SALVATION~ AMAZING GRACE

A friend sent this gorgeous film out (thanks Brian). I remembered it while doing the lesson this morning so please click on the link below and join me in celebrating our salvation:

MIRACLE IMPULSES

Your distorted perceptions produce a dense cover over miracle impulses, making it hard for them to reach your own awareness. The confusion of miracle impulses with physical impulses is a major perceptual distortion. Physical impulses are misdirected miracle impulses. All real pleasure comes from doing God's Will. This is because not doing it is a denial of Self. Denial of Self results in illusions, while correction of the error brings release from it. Do not deceive yourself into believing that you can relate in peace to God or to your brothers with anything external. (ACIM~ T-1.1)

You know what is so fun? I have been playing in the yummy freshness of this moment now. Old insights are circling back up in my mind and life with renewed aliveness and much more depth.

Let me give an example. Recently, I have been corresponding with an amazing woman; teacher of God and all around inspiring being. We’ve been addressing addiction and food/body addiction in particular. Years ago, in the beginning of my healing with A Course in Miracles, I was graced with freedom the insanity of an upside-down relationship with my body, eating and food. And actually with yours as well, I compared myself with everyone I met. That craziness was lifted and I was able to focus on the business of healing my mind.

Finding what did work for me was, at times, an absolute miracle. I would walk into a book store and find myself picking up a book that I hadn’t known I came for and no recollection as to what I had come there for in the first place. I had a sense of being in the right place at the right time that was poignant and I would buy the book without question.

Or I would meet someone that would lead to a conversation about freedom and addiction and food and weight and I would hear myself speaking from a place of true gratitude. Often in those times, if there was a particular struggle I was having with my body or cravings, as we began communicating, in that sincere request for a true answer, a specific one to my specific issue would unfold during the conversation.

I discovered quite rapidly that the more I shared my experience with healing and freedom from the body/food monkey around my neck, the less I had experienced cravings and body judgments.

So, being the junky I am, I started facilitating groups and individuals in upholding a single-pointed spiritual foundation as core sustenance, as a replacement for the obsessive focus of a body/food addiction.

I saw how my unhealed mind, having obsessed about my problems with food and weight and how to get the perfect body and what to eat, how to keep from eating too much, what combination of foods, how to work out and how often, accompanied with a commitment to feeling ashamed and guilty and deserving of punishment, yet feeling like a total victim, helpless to change, hopeless in the face of societal requirement of lovability, had kept me exactly where I was. My judgments and beliefs had made me the person I saw myself as: weak, unlovable, unworthy, a waste of skin, taking up room that a more deserving person should have.  I was wrong… that is all.

A fundamental principle in A Course in Miracles is that ideas leave not their source and that ideas increase when they are given away. We, being God’s Idea, remain in Him as He extends His love as Son. We are that Son; that very same Love. We therefore must allow our love to extend creation in order to know our Self.

We’ve all had so much appreciation for some miracle in our life that we couldn’t wait to share with everyone.

That’s how I felt. That’s how I feel, now. It’s the reason I blog.

I love God. I love Jesus. I love A Course in Miracles. I love you, my one Self.

 So anyway, I am again finding myself with this awesome opportunity to share the miracle down the body/food addiction avenue.

You know we all come to A Course in Miracles with body addictions. We mistake them for ourselves. We are wrong. That is all.

The course turns us around and points us smack in front of our mind.  We see without question that it is or identification with a false identity, in a life/death, duality based world in our mind that is the source of our pain. It trains us in a systematic way to dispel every belief you ever believed to be true, as false.

We see that our world is one of perception, but that everything that feel good comes from somewhere beyond perception, never from the thing or circumstance itself.

We come to see that learning to forgive is our most treasured tool in the reversal of a thought system based in fear back to the source of our being~ love.

Peace is the result of emptying our entire arsenal of fear thoughts onto the touchstone of forgiveness. 

We are born anew.

“Let us be still an instant, and forget all things we ever learned, all thoughts we had, and every preconception that we hold of what things mean, and what their purpose is. Let us remember not our own ideas of what the world is for. We do not know. Let every image held of anyone be loosened from our minds and swept away. Be innocent of judgment, unaware of any thoughts of evil or of good that ever crossed your mind of anyone. Now do you know him not. But you are free to learn of him, and learn of him anew. Now is he born again to you, and you are born again to him, without the past that sentenced him to die, and you with him. Now is he free to live, as you are free, because an ancient learning passed away, and left a place for truth to be reborn.” (T-31.1)

  I am going to be writing more about the healing of body appetites. It might be with this yummy woman, Lisa, I was talking about. A site about this is her idea. I am interested to see what comes forward. Grace has shown me that body appetites are misdirected miracle impulses. That in recognition of this fact, I open to act miraculously instead of ‘feed the need’,and look for magic soulions; to enliven and inspire rather than shut-off and separate into the dirge of the pleasure-pain syndrome.

I'll keep you posted as it unfolds. Thank you.

I love you! 

MIRACLES OR MAGIC?

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.

HIGH BEAM~ ON! ~ MIRACLES ARE SEEN IN LIGHT...

I am surrounded by miracles.

Today was one of those days where gorgeous people around me, were calling me to share their miracle; epiphanies, insights, breakthroughs… Like I said~ MIRACLES.

One fabulous brother, a man of pure integrity, called to tell me that in the midst of his wife telling him she was moving out, he was moved inwardly. Rather than resist, ask for explanations, or whatever defense might want to arise, he rose up, above the battlefield. He simply asked the Holy Spirit to take over. He said, “This is it. This is what it is all about. In an instant when the possibility of defense right in hand, I was able to choose peace instead. I was able remain the truth of who I am and truly be actually helpful. I listened and remembered neither she nor I were the story, but kept my focus on the love we are instead.

Isn’t that awesome?

Miracles are natural. When we aren’t experiencing them, something has gone wrong.

Another dazzling brother, a dedicated and devoted women called to tell me of her recognition of her guiltlessness while recognizing it in her ex… She told me she had two amazing epiphanies.

1.      I can’t do it wrong. I’ve never done it wrong. What is, is what is.

2.      I am not alone. I have never been alone. I could never be alone. There are always others along the path to help along the way.

These are the lights the Holy Spirit turns on in our minds that reveal the path before us… the path before us. Just that, too; just this we find before us now. And that is just perfect; just enough to keep our focus on God: to keep our eye single, and shine our light.

MIRACLE!

I just got off the phone with a brother, a dynamic and stunning, vividly alive friend whom I haven’t seen or spoken with for several years.

I knew to call her.  Miracle-prompt.

Yet, we had an absolutely astonishing conversation about truth, living in true integrity, thinking in honestly and not mistaking ‘appropriate’ emotion-for-circumstance, but rather turn inward and allow the peace of God to spread the warm blanket from heart to hand…

What appeared to be a lover’s death by overdose, turned out to be a story; that when undone, left only the love that was exchanged ~Spirit in a state of grace forever.

See, MIRACLES!!!

Ah, bright and shiny beam… I’ve had the brights on all day… Miracles are seen in light… I see smiles and miracles everywhere I look.

 I love it!

I love you!

SALVATION IS THE HAPPY END GAME

SALVATION IS THE END GAME

I love house cleaning.

Yesterday, I was in the middle of waxing the hard-wood floors throughout this beautiful home of ours, thrilled to be in paradise. And the paradise of which speak was my not the house, but rather I was noticing my thoughts and watching the procession…

Here’s what I was thinking, “I love cleaning house. God is constantly on my mind when I’m cleaning and/or cooking… or listening to the children or hanging out with my husband… or talking on the phone… or walking to the library with the boys, talking to the librarian… visiting with my sisters…” I was warmed in gratitude as I found myself reviewing the day… “God is always on my mind it seems.”

I could feel the holiness of the whole exchange. So, it got me thinking. “God is always on my mind… The only time I’m not aware of God is when I not present with exactly what is right now. Example: I judge something ‘should be different than it is’. Like for instance, if I thought someone else should be helping or that I’d rather be ____ than being with exactly what actually is. You know what I mean.

We always, already, love what is… It is the distractions of false identify that give us trouble. (You know, it has that irritating, fingernails-on-blackboard itch to its voice that won’t seem to go away once you focus on it…it takes you out of now.

But more to the point, what I’m talking about is not so much being present with, say, cleaning this thing right in front of me, this floor, etc. Although for years just that kind of redirection is how I brought myself present.

Remember~There is no floor or cleaning, or me, for that matter. These are the dream and I the dreamer.

No, I am talking about the mind. I am talking about the experience of acceptance; letting all things be exactly as they are. I am talking about being free. I talking about keeping the light shining brightly so the shadows of judgment, guilt and fear have no place to hide. I am talking about keeping my mind fixed on salvation. The players and circumstances merely background the chance for salvation and to play in miracles.

Salvation is God’s game here on earth. (For God so loved the world that He gave it ‘to’ His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not parish but have everlasting life.) Salvation is the game of miracles; the joyous gathering of brother to brother in happy dreams. Like Jesus says in lesson 153 “We pause a moment more, to play our final, happy game upon this earth. And then we go to take our rightful place where truth abides and games are meaningless. So is the story ended.”

Salvation is the end game here. It can be thought of as the fun game that happy children play. It is played by those who have chosen to hear God’s call for ministers and accepted the appointment. It is for those willing to forgive and forget all thoughts of hurt and sacrifice and loss. We allow all the fearful war-games we made to be replaced with happy games of Love, and certainty, and safety, and togetherness.

In light and laughter dawns the happy awareness that fear is nothing and nowhere. In God’s game everyone wins, for the concept of loss has been forgiven. And everyone’s winning is a gain to everyone.

It is an absolute ball.

It’s the only game in town. It is the only way to fly… And we soar on the wings of angels in a state of grace forever.

Thanks for playing.

I love you.

SAVING THE WORLD ONE LIGHT AT A TIME

I am deeply in love with God.

God Love is the constant of my life. I feel it even when I misplace myself in my life and play god with plans and guilt, I feel His Love deep within tugging in my sleeve, pulling me back home. This is the Holy Spirit, awaiting with a smile behind my craziness, a sane and clear perspective to the insanity I am here to forgive… reminding me of my purpose.

 I was sitting with Jesus in my meditation this morning. I was lifted from my self in the frequency of wholehearted gratitude for this unending Love and how it is always reaching me exactly where I’m at…

 I love A Course in Miracles! It has given me the context for sanity in the mixed-up, insane world, where nothing has ever really made sense to me.

From moment one, word one, the Course instantaneously called-up the memory of truth within my mind, and though at the time I first began my relationship with the Course, and I couldn’t wrap my mind around what it was that was so compelling, I was drawn unthinkingly ~ It was my first experience of not trying to fit what I was experiencing into one of my ready-made constructs… I intrinsically knew it was something entirely the opposite of everything I was familiar with. It was like landing in a parallel universe where all the symbols are the same but the meanings~ well, had meaning… I recognized the Voice for God woven into the concepts and applications, as I recognize that Voice within my right-mind.

Then a few years ago in time, which has now collapsed in on itself, as it seems that it was going on all along, I fell madly in love with Jesus! I’m not really sure how it happened. I didn’t seem to be wired-up for the holy-roller, born-again, ‘Jesus love’s you’ stuff.

Yet, here I am: born again, rockin &rollin’ with holy brotherhood of saviors of the world, and hand in hand with Jesus.

Well I am attempting the impossible here to speak of what is actually unspeakable appreciation to Jesus for his unwavering companionship. Yet I am so lifted and inspired that the belly of the share within me, beckons to be expressed. Honored by his living, visible, expression of love through A Course in Miracles, the perfect guidance inward to the Voice we share with God and the eternal love that sustains us as One, I am devoted to his ministry, which is my own.

Who’d have thought?

Thank you Jesus!

Here’s what he states clearly in the Clarification of Terms in response to our ego based thought system:

“Your questions have no answer, being made to still God's Voice, which asks of everyone one question only: "Are you ready yet to help Me save the world?"  Ask this instead of what the ego is, and you will see a sudden brightness cover up the world the ego made.  No miracle is now withheld from anyone.  The world is saved from what you thought it was.  And what it is, is wholly uncondemned and wholly pure.”

Are we ready to help Him save the world?

I AM!

Honestly, after attempting things, ‘my way’, getting no closer to happiness, and then joining with Jesus and having my heart and mind cracked wide open to Love’s light, I can say without reservation, this is my bliss! It is my one purpose which I joyously fulfill through forgiveness and appreciation! You are my one self. How can I be helpful?

Let’s join in the stillness born of innocent perception and ask candidly; ‘Am I ready? Are we ready to stand in singularity for God? Are we ready to join the mighty companions as saviors of the world? Are we willing to lay aside all our own ideas and come with open hearts and empty hands in order to experience the peace and joy of God? Are we willing to teach only love and know that love is ours and we are love?

I AM! ~ Sign up here!

I LOVE YOU.

 

LISTEN AND LOVE...

I love God. I am learning to hear only His Voice. It’s like listening through a translator for the language of tongues.  So everything my brother’s say is some expression of love… My job is to listen only for that.

When the goal of purpose is singular, which is God, it re-establishes the premise within the mind. Then everything shifts on its axis. The entire experience of the dream becomes a watching from mind, an experience as the dreamer of the dream. And though bodies and things animate within the dream, one is awake to the fact of being the dreamer. As consistency of choice remains steady, each encounter within the dream is brought into the touchstone of truth where it’s assimilation into the whole of love, is accepted as inevitable.

One can only see from the premise assigned by God. It is NOW! It is only Now where God speaks to His Son though the Holy Spirit within mind. It is the Eternal Now; outside the construct of time and space, where communication has never ceased... NOW: unending present peace ~ the presence of God ~ where stillness and quiet are the language of the day and calm extends…forever, now. It speaks the experience of certainty already completed ~ of love all encompassing… where stresses “need not be”…

We can’t leave this Mind~ it is not of our making. Though imagination has tried to pretend a scenario “apart”, this quiet haven will not go away. Haven’t you noticed? Every time you turn around, turn inward, there it is ~ “The Kingdom of God is within ~ the Kingdom of God IS”… and God is the experience of communication. Receiving is my job. Tune-in and God speaks to me always, already now…

As various needs and problems seem to arise throughout the day, we see our special flavor of attachments and aversions, which merely are an attempt to disguise the underlying belief in scarcity. When tuned to the Holy Spirit frequency, those specialties then become the backdrop to forgive; shine the light and happily fulfill the function given us by God.

Now, this can appear much sketchier than I am making out, I know.  The ego puts out a diverse procession of requirements (Hierarchy of needs). It’s trick and slight of hand is to get you to look without at what it is displaying, so you’ll loose your perspective of premise and forget you’re not really here and that the seeming problem appearing is for the purpose of remembering where the solution lies; within the mind, with the Holy Spirit’s perception of abundance inherent in who we are.

 As we consistently choose His guidance and Purpose all specific needs are resolved, often without our even realizing it at the time. The idea of needs eventually dissolves into a single awareness of love, as all the tentacles of scarcity are released and forgiven.

Everything that appears on the stage of life has but one origin. It is an authority issue. It is not past. The past is, well, past. It is nowhere. The problem is a present decision to usurp the power of God. It is the present decision to author oneself. It is merely confusion of identity and has absolutely  nothing to do with the myriad forms and issues that seem so important to solve in the world.

We are training our minds to determinately look and listen within, to fine-tune to the Voice of Reality; to trust, to love, to truth… It is totally opposite in every way to the way the ego has it hard-wired. But the Holy Spirit will systematically rewire the system according to our willingness and trust. Subsequently, we learn to rely only on the truly reliable. And God’s Will is what is reliable. We come to recognize our total dependence on God with infinite gratitude fuelling our being.

We can lean back and trust for the Voice for God is always communicating exactly what we need to hear…I LOVE IT!

THOSE WHO ARE CERTAIN OF THE OUTCOME CAN AFFORD TO WAIT, AND WAIT WITHOUT ANXIETY.

PATIENCE IS NATURAL TO THE TEACHER OF GOD... Blessings everyone! Thanks for hangin’ out while the internet miracle-working has been going on. It’s been fun to watch.

 Apparently, our minds are healed, cuz we have lift- off!

I LOVE IT!

I LOVE YOU!

The Song of Prayer, all of which is so beautiful, comes to mind. Here is the passage running through my mind right now:

 “The secret of true prayer is to forget the things you think you need… in prayer you overlook you specific needs as you see them, and let them go into God’s Hands. There they become your gifts to Him, for they tell Him that you would have no gods before Him; no love but His. What could his answer be but your remembrance of Him? Can this be traded for a bit of trifling advice about a problem of an instant’s duration? God answers only for eternity. But still all little answers are contained in this… there is nothing to ask because there is nothing left to want.”

Isn’t that so yummy! That is the zero point of perfect peace and all of the recent lessons have been leading us to the mind-trust-fall into it: this moment, the present moment, the only one~ the presence of God. It is the joyous totality of now, where form is irrelevant. It has been replaced with the certainty of love’s inevitability.

I love keeping it simple.

I am the light of the world.

Whatever is happening is for the purpose of saving the world.

Why resist? Love is … Recognition of this one fact is inevitable.

GOD IS MY SOURCE. I CANNOT SEE APART FROM  HIM

TO PEACE OR NOT TO PEACE: That is the Question~

To peace or not to peace; that is the question…

I love how the thing about doing the Course lessons as daily methodology for life, is you come to see how, every day, each lesson, is always, exactly the best possible guide for your day.

It trains your mind not to think that the day is real.

But rather that you are.

 Haven’t you noticed? If you apply the lesson to whatever is happening, you feel yourself transported from form or the space/time construct and directly into content or mind. And that’s where you find your Self and the Holy Spirit/God construct.

Mind is where the peace is; the joy and happiness as well. Mind is the activating agent of Spirit and Spirit is always, already completion in God.

So I love doing the lessons.

It never gets boring or monotonous. Spirit is always fresh. And I am always brand new.

My life is delivered as a wonder to my mind. Hence, AWESOME!

So, case in point…

You all know how my family just moved to a new and perfect home/location. Well, being as it is a 100 year old home in the historic district, about the first thing I did was call the cable company to make sure we would be able to get cable for internet. (Major part of the family’s world, yes?...) They were awesome, of course, and assured me there was no problem. They told me that there had once been cable there and it would be hooked-up on move-in day. Yeah!

Turns out~ not quite the case. It seems a trench will have to be dug and the cable run underground through the back yard. This is done by a different company. Then the cable company can come back and run it into the house and hook us up....

Awesome, huh~ Perfect chance to see peace instead of the contraction that might have arisen.

So peace it is!

So, I didn’t post yesterday, sending my true communication of peace and love through the constantly reliable air-waves of the Holy Spirit mind-link. Well, you know…I felt your hook-up as well…

Today, I am going over to the library or Starbucks or some place with wi-fi and see what opportunities to heal and teach healing the Holy Spirit has in store for me in my travels.

Everybody just loves to have the opportunity to be helpful and they love to respond with solutions to someone expressing a loving mind, asking for assistance. I can’t wait!

Life is totally an adventure! Thanks for coming with me.

I love you.
