Lesson 26 ~ Allowing Purification
1. Page 303 ~ To think with the Mind of God requires that you be taught anew. To be taught implies a willingness to learn. And a willingness to learn implies that one is willing to create a space of emptiness within that can be filled with a new substance, a new elixir, a new alchemical substance.
· CULTIVATING THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM ~ page 304
Allowance is the greatest of keys to the Kingdom. For allowance requires a rescinding—slowly, patiently at times, painfully at times—of every perception you have ever held of everyone and everything. It is the descent into complete recognition of your ignorance, a complete recognition of your joy-filled dependence on the corrective power of the Holy Spirit. Allowance requires cultivation in time. When there has been the desire for healing and awakening, rest assured, that already your Father, through the Holy Spirit, is working to reshape every moment of your experience—every single moment. So that the correct teachers, the correct lessons, the correct books, even the correct weather can come to force you to look at your edges of unhappiness, your edges of judgment, your edges of insecurity, your edges of fear-based definitions of what Love is, what it should look like, and what its effects should be. In other words, the entire world that you have made in error must be brought to the surface of the mind for correction. Allowance is sweet above the taste of honey. For allowance is that realm in which miracles can finally begin to occur. What is a miracle? It is not really a change at all. It is merely the recognition of what has always been—that there is a Love, a power, that would live through you, that would guide you in all things, that you need not be the captain of the ship, you need only be willing to take the cruise.
· Page 305 ~ This journey will take you into the essence of what you do not know that you do not know. That is what makes it unconscious. For you have used the power of the mind to push down out of yourself your fears—where they actually gain power, but you do not need to confront them directly. Denial or suppression, as they speak of it in your psychological language, is the very root of the creation of the ego. That which has been hidden must be made known. And in its being made known, purification can occur.

· ALLOWING PURIFICATION TO OCCUR ~ page 307 ~
Allow purification to occur. Be willing to visit every dark corner of the mind. For, in truth, it is not necessary to seek for Love, for Love already embraces you. But it is necessary to seek for what is false:
~Where am I fooling myself?
~Where am I committed to my image in the world?
~Where am I committed to thinking for myself because underneath I do not truly trust that God loves me?
~Where am I lying to myself or to others?
~Where am I in denial?
~Where do I need to understand what projection is?
~Where do I need to understand more deeply how the viciousness of the ego works within my own mind?
~Where am I pointing a finger outside of myself?
~Where am I denying my fear?
~Where am I demanding that the world show up as I would have it, instead of surrendering to the structuring of the
world in the hands of the Holy Spirit that serves entirely my healing, my growth, my maturing into true responsibility?
· Page 309 ~ Love is what you should love! Love is what you should assume responsibility for detecting as it flows through each living thing. And a rock, in this sense, is a living thing. If it exists, within it, you will find the good, the holy, and the beautiful. For only that which contains these things, which is the presence of God, can ever take form in the first place. Nothing can be without the essence of what you are seeking!
There is only God. There has never been a separate me. There never could have been. There is only this moment in which Love can dance, can be celebrated, and can be extended. Father, what can we create this day that offers to the world the grace of the good, the holy, and the beautiful? (Page 311)
