I DO NOT KNOW


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

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 WAY

“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.

WOW!!!

WOW! We have completed the first round. The first fifty lessons of A Course in Miracles; complete with the integrative review. How do you feel?

I feel awesome! Read the lessons through, again; back to back, right now… CLICK ON THE FIRST FIFTY,link right NOW and READ all fifty!

 Isn’t that powerful? Can’t you feel the spirit of Atonement? Yes,

If have been showing up each day and merely taking direction, you have chosen yourself to be on Jesus’ crew. You have answered the call. Can’t you feel it? You’re not alone…. There are mighty companions along side you. You have a sense that you know, somewhere inside, Who walks with you… Yes?!

In those 50 lessons, in sixty days, you literally shed the skin of self you knew when you started 60 days ago. You are brand new.

A newborn world lies before us now. We are its ministers. We are the miracle workers that light the world with God’s Love.

Can you feel it?

I am completely in love with the statements that wrap-up the section we just went through.

I am sustained by the Love of God. As I listen to God’s Voice, I am sustained by His Love. As I open my eyes, His Love lights up the world for me to see. As I forgive, His Love reminds me that His Son is sinless. And as I look upon he world with the vision He has given me, I remember that I am His Son.”

 

That’s where we launch today from. Brand new in mind, it is simple to follow that we are, indeed, the light of the world. So here’s the mantra:

I am the light of the world.

That is my only function.

That is why I am here.

 

 As we awaken the whole world awakens, since the world was never more than a misperception. As perception becomes whole, the single mind sees only wholeness.

Today we are ready to see with Inner Vision. We are at realizing that "physical sight" was merely an illusion of being in the dark.

The Light has come and it is time…

I’ll leave you with this, from the Clarification of Terms:

“The end is sure and guaranteed by God…You are a stranger here. But you belong to Him Who love you as He love Himself. Ask but my help to roll the stone away, and it is done according to His Will. We have begun the journey…Be now afraid. We only start again an ancient journey long ago begun…upon a road we traveled on before and lost our way a little while. And now we try again. Our new beginning has the certainty the journey lacked till now…Look up and see His Word among the stars, where He has set you Name along wit His…  and find you certain destiny…Let us wait here in silence, and kneel down an instant in our gratitude to him Who called to us and helped us hear His Call. And then let us arise and go in faith along the way to Him…”

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!

THE TAO OF HOLINESS: Or A Day in the Life of Ambrose and Sparta

My holiness envelops everything I see…

I’m laughing my head-off right now, watching the cats. It’s crazy how much fun I’m having, watching them try to figure out what the bleep is going on.

I love it!

They are so present. Right now they are going crazy over the washer. They’re like a kid in a candy store. Scratch that. They’re a couple of cats watching a frontload washer. The level of attention they are paying to each single move…I’m looking at that right now as a model for mind watching. Yes! Right?...

Have you ever really paid attention to a cat watching a mouse, rat or gerbil or hamster? I have. (The boys have had every sort of rodent. I think it is fair to say that Ambrose and Sparta have seen these rodent pets a bit more like bait than intended.) My point is that a cat watching potential prey is a marvelous teacher in presence.

Being present is a completely awake experience: all systems are at maximum effectiveness. Everything is set to go and at perfect readiness to be used, to be helpful…

This is our perfect holiness! It envelops everything we see.  

We undergo a radical reorientation once we make the definitive, wholehearted decision to take the required course. And once we begin the curriculum with the Holy Spirit. Jesus, the countless holy encounters of student/ teacher relationships; nothing can be taken at face value again. We are undertaking a meticulous mind-training.

It is not for the faint-hearted. I know. I require true commitment. It is all. It is total. It is whole. It is holiness in action.  And transformation of all that is seen takes place before your very eyes. I KNOW. Miracles replace all errors in sight and thinking. A new, or better yet, original Self begins to see through to only holiness.

My holiness envelops everything I see…

I cast about and see the holiest of sights: LOVE; everyone, everything, everywhere. It’s all God to me.

Where once there was judgment, hurt, anger and fear; I see only forgiveness. I see myself everywhere I look.

The holiest of places on earth, is where an ancient hatred has been replaced by present love…

 Thank you for blessing me with your holiness, which is my own.

I love you.
