Hi All

Another beautiful fall day which really adds to the reading this week in Lesson 18. You know we only get to see the beauty a short time of the year each year and we bask in the feelings of it, in the "fall". However TWOM book it says we can have it all the time. We can make the choice... we can see the beauty in every day in every way we just have to choose. How simple is that?

I am going to keep it simple here and read on the lesson is phenomenal!!! In my Beingness! Read on....

Lesson 18 ~ The Highest Work is Embracing and

Forgiving Your Past

Creation is Innocent. (pg 217)

Creation is utterly powerless. It becomes powerful according to that which you give unto it, the value, the purpose, and the function. (pg 218)

…it is absolutely impossible to look upon anything that is outside of you. (pg 218)

Each time you think a loving thought, you literally blessed all infinite realms of creation. (pg 218)

The function of the holy Child of God remains eternally one: to bless creation, and thereby, restore it to the perfect reflection of God’s presence. (pg 218)

You are Christ incarnate… To the degree that you become crazy enough in the eyes of your world to simply assume the Truth and become wholly committed to listening to no other voice. (pg 218)

…guilt is the mother of fear. (pg 218)

The realm of illusion – what appears to be solid matter, of people with different opinions – holds no power to prevent you from bringing forth the blessings that heals illusion. (pg 219)

Until forgiveness is genuine, embracing is not possible. (pg 219)

Forgiveness is the bridge that brings creation to you and you to it. (pg 219)

Here is nothing outside of you. (pg 220)

First, embrace it through forgiveness, which returns it to its neutrality and powerlessness, and then, through that embrace, bless it, and thereby dissolve the illusory power that it seemed to hold. (pg 220)

…you as a soul…began to create the phenomena of what you perceive to be separate lifetimes… (pg 222)

I forgive you. You are perfectly neutral. I choose now to remember you, to re-member, to embrace again, that I might bless you….With this blessing, release the terror the hurt the judgment, the fear, and the incredible dramas you seem to have dreamt. (pg 222)

Never judge what you see, what you feel, or the thought that arises. (pg 224)

I can’t remember back past the age of five, “that is utter nonsense”! (pg 224)

Suffering need not be. The suffering with which you may yet be identified need not be. It is only by choice that it can be healed and released. (pg 225)

In truth, the awakening has already occurred; it is already done. You are merely remembering the process of awakening. (pg 225)

…each loving thought restores you to your rightful place. Every fearful thought merely delays the moment of your release and the restoration of your perfect peace. Remember that only Love can heal. (pg 226)

Never, then judge yourself by comparison to another. Comparison and contrast are what the egoic mind does so that judgment can result – judgment of self, judgment of another – so that the dream of separation can continue, Since it is the dream, it needs the dream to continue to maintain survival. Simply give it up. (pg 227)

The end is always a thought away. Liberation - a simple choice. The way is easy and without effort. It rests in the power to decide. (pg 228)

…you – the Holy Child of God! Beautiful are you!

Radiant are you! Innocent you are! Powerful are you!

Eternal are you! Free are you! Loved are you!
