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
Now, for those of you that don’t know,
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
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~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.
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.
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!
Someone said they learned everything they needed to know from kindergarten. I learned everything I need to learn about this world, from addiction; which is basically, kindergarten.
Let me clarify. Addiction teaches one thing; you are powerless to forces outside yourself. It shows you that if you look outside yourself for what you want or need, what you get is more looking. Nothing outside you satisfies.
You learn that thinking you need something different than what is, triggers a surrender of mind to that idol. Once you think you need it, it factors into everything you do. Until you give up what you think you want for what actually is, whether you realize it or not, your mind is being subtly or blatantly influenced by the getting or addictive mechanism. Without that surrender and total shift of perception into Now, you cannot be present, so you cannot think or feel or respond to what actually is. You are merely playing out a drama of denial and fixation.
So, how is that what I need to learn, you might ask? Flipped upside-down and looked at with the Holy Spirit from above the addiction you see patterns and avenues to show you there is no half way to healing. You are either as God created or you are drunk, sleeping it off…
The thing about having an addiction identity (residual self-image) stored in the body brain is that when given over completely to the Holy Spirit, those same pathways that addiction used, can now be used in training the mind in the contrast.
Let me clarify. Addiction has definable characteristics or symptoms increasingly pronounced as the addiction persists. If you are a slow learner, and take all the advanced classes, there are certain things you will learn. You learn for instance, how to listen; you listen carefully for the voice for addiction and take direction from it. You learn how to surrender your will to a power greater than yourself. You learn to give yourself over, and let it take you wherever it wants to take you~
You learn to notice the subtle things that either align or don’t align with its purpose. You get to know your mind real well, though much of the time you don’t want to.
Here’s the thing; what has a beginning has an end. You see first hand what nothing looks like; how blatant falseness presents its flimsy promises at high prices. And you learn, too, how willing you are to reach deep into your pockets until the price is paid; only to see the promise fade before you.
At the end of it all, in the pit of the darkness of disassociation, as annihilation ensues, something else inevitable happens. From somewhere deep within, the light of peace begins to spread, enlivening the mind in recognition of the Self that cannot be annihilated.
From within the darkness the light naturally emerges, to be seen because darkness cannot hide; falseness cannot last~ Fear cannot stand. The instant the thought of love is recognized, Love is always left standing…
My point to telling this story is that it is so easy to see how perfect it is; how the Holy Spirit has been steadfastly behind me, bringing me home to the light. When I was ready to forgive what I thought life was, when I saw that I had been wrong about everything, the Holy Spirit reinterprets all my symbols to a meaningful purpose. He now uses those same pathways (cleansed and purified) for the single purpose of salvation.
If I think I have a will apart from God, if some sort of preference or resistance construct shows up, there is the light, the light of forgiveness, right in the deep stillness of my mind, being powered by Source.
I burn through the barrier to loves awareness and get on with shining the light of gratitude for my brothers.
What was once the programming of the addiction matrix becomes reprogrammed as a forgiveness matrix. Once seen in the light of understanding, I see how those programs are being redirected to joy, toward the goal of truth.
I use your ability to listen and take direction, to listen to the Voice of God. I surrender my will to a Greater Will and lay aside judgments. I ask only for what is meaningful for the purpose of Atonement, and go willingly wherever He would have me go.
Trust develops naturally as one continually places ones faith in His direction. Alignment with the Atonement principle becomes increasingly fine-tuned.
Where I was so personally familiar with my powerlessness and aloneness, I see that alone I can do nothing, because alone I am nothing. We are not, and could not be alone. Wholeness has no separate parts. I have come to realize that I am as God created just as I recognize my brother is myself.
Self evaluation turns over in favor of God evaluation .Mastery in the art of denial is turned toward denying anything not of God as real; denying the denial of truth.
I accept the Atonement for myself, and heal the whole Sonship as I let Him teach me to heal.…
Joy abounds for the happy learner and teacher for God.
I love you.
I am a professional.
Atonement is my profession. It comes naturally. Once the desire for specialness has been abated, the communication that is creation is free to take its place. Or rather, to flow unimpeded.
Here’s my job; I accept the atonement for myself. Here’s how I do that. I am simply unwilling to see error in anyone including myself. Here’s where I join with Jesus. It’s a correction crusade. And it rocks! ~You can join~
By refusing to see error, a whole new world opens up before me. Everyone I see is like my favorite long lost aunt that I can't wait to catch-up with. So I treat these encounters with a level of respect and open-hearted acceptance that l learned from Jesus and how he has refused to accept my little opinion of myself, but rather relating to the magnitude in me. This is what I extend.
I teach only what I want to learn, so I teach only the love that I am and you are.
I see miracles happening everywhere. Where I used to see conflict between brothers, I now see the call for love and the opportunity for a miracle. I look to the spark of light within each brother and join them there, blazing the light with healing love… My holiness blesses them.
Whether or not they recognize this act of love is not my concern, healing my mind through seeing their innocence which is my own, is…. Forgiveness happens… “A miracle is a universal blessing from God through me to all my brothers. It is the privilege of the forgiven to forgive.”
I hung out in confusion for a long time; waiting for some miraculous event that would restore me to sanity. I studied the Course, prayed, meditated, did the lessons… But I still measured Heaven from a definition that placed it outside myself. Something that would happen “to” me once I was ‘good’ enough... It's all good...
Obviously, I didn’t see the trap this was; looping me back into the separation construct.
Till I did. I decided for happiness, truth, love, the peace of God.
Here’s the thing. Up till then, because I didn’t want to be in denial or be wearing rose-colored glasses, I kept reinforcing the belief in error by continuing to see it, judge my progress by it, then forgive.
Yes, I found relief. Yes, I felt better. However, I was making error real by claiming it, then forgiving... That is not looking past the error in acceptance of its falseness. .
See the conflict?
That’s a split mind. The Course is accepted completely, or not at all. It says if we aren’t experiencing constant joy, we have not decided for happiness, because happiness is a state of constancy.
I took Jesus as my coach.
He told me, “Deny the denial of truth”. He said, “Recognize your errors and choose to abandon them and follow my guidance.”
There! Clear as day! Recognize my errors and choose to abandon them and follow Him…
I finally listened. I abandon error in favor of truth.
“Forgiveness recognizes that what you thought your brother did to you has not occurred. It does not pardon sins and make them real. It sees there was no sin. And in that view, are all your sins forgiven… Forgiveness merely sees its falsity, and therefore lets it go. What then is free to take its place is now the Will of God.”
I was coached in-spirit to be happy and that joy was a better environment for learning than pain. I was already totally familiar with the contrast, I don't need any more lessons through pain. When I am dis-heartened or dis-spirited I have suspended my usefulness until I change my mind and Think with the Joy of Love.
Ya know, when you accept the Atonement as your profession. And you take the oath of office as a miracle worker, there are certain guidelines you follow.
“Spirit is in a state of grace forever.
Your reality is only spirit.
Therefore you are in a state of grace forever.”
THANK YOU.
I LOVE YOU.
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!
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.
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!
“Into eternity, where all is one, there crept a tiny mad idea, at which the Son of God remembered not to laugh. In his forgetting did the thought become a serious idea, and possible of both accomplishment and real effects.
Together, we can laugh them BOTH away, and understand that time can NOT intrude upon eternity. It IS a joke to think that time can come to circumvent eternity, which MEANS there is no time.” (T-27.9)
I love to laugh. I love to lighten any room in the joy that comes with joining in a good laugh. Laughter is the best medicine. Here’s how I know.
I used to take my life so freaking serious. I took healing serious; for you and for me. I took the Course serious. And all my seriousness reinforced the problem.
Let me see if I can shed some light here… I had in my mind that there was a problem to be solved.
I know the Course says it over and over: ONE PROBLEM ~ ONE SOLUTION!
Still I kept trying. This really boils down to attempting to bring the truth to illusion.
I had to get out of time and space. Period. So I could see the obviousness of what was right before my eyes. Alone, my eyes could not see. Like the forest for the trees, I needed a true vantage point from which to see truly. Here is where Jesus takes the hand that is willing to be led…
For me, it was a matter of recognizing that I could not establish survival on my own behalf in this world. I had give up my futile attempt at one-uping God. I was a failure at it. I had to recognize that the world of my making was designed to fail.
For what possible purpose, you might ask.
Failure is the new success!
In my failure to seriously make life work, I lost all stability in my perception.
And there I still was. This message came to me: “I am and will always be!”
I had to laugh! And keep laughing… everywhere I look, I see myself. I am in the Mind that created me.
The secret of salvation is but this: That YOU are doing this UNTO YOURSELF…For you would not react at all to figures in a dream you knew that YOU were dreaming. Let them be as hateful and as vicious as they may, they COULD have no effect on you, unless you failed to recognize it is YOUR dream. This single lesson learned will set you free from suffering, WHATEVER form it takes.
The Holy Spirit will repeat this ONE inclusive lesson of deliverance, until it has been learned
Forgiveness is the great release of time.
The whole direction of A Course in Miracles is aimed at dis-identifying with the body and recognizing oneself AS A MIND. Jesus is speaking to our awareness and very deliberately directing our minds to sync with God.
In order to accomplish this sync, I entirely refuse to see what is not there. If it isn’t love, it is a block to love’s awareness. The remedy is forgiveness.
Accept today’s lesson wholeheartedly and you rise above the battleground and recognize Heaven already present.
I accept 100% responsibility for what I see. I decide to see NO VICTIMS and in their place the call for love and healing is revealed.
As long as I am attached to anything in this physical world, I was vulnerable to the victim lie and stuck in time and space. By deciding with the Holy Spirit for purpose, I am transported out of time and space constructs, and into purpose and into Heaven, where the impossibility of victims is seen.
Let’s look at this logically. How could I be a victim of something I made myself and have all power over its existence? And why would I want to? It’s crazy. But that’s thing isn’t it. This world is insane.
LIGHTEN UP! This world is insane and when we identify with it; bodies, personalities, etc, we are insane. But here’s the reason to rejoice and be glad:
WE ARE NOT A VICTIM OF THE WORLD WE SEE~
WE ARE STILL AS GOD CREATED US…
It is your declaration of release: Read the lesson. Do what it says….
It’s very specific. It shows that our outer world is identical to our inner world. The world we see is a reflection of the thoughts we hold in our mind about ourselves and the world. Today is a loosing and release from the self-made prison.
Remind yourself that you are making a declaration of independence in the name of your own freedom. And in your freedom lies the freedom of the world.
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…
