Hi everyone,
I pray this finds you in great spirits! Remember we are the one who makes the choice that we are in each momnet. Hmmm....
I have been aware of this more often than usual lately. One minute I am experiencing my "poo" and the next thing I thought, "I created this?" Wait! I am shocked at my self! I then thought, "Oh that means I can change it, too!". I immediately softened and I asked "how can I see this differently?" I can't say I had a thought about how it could be different, however the poo feeling left. I LOVE IT! I had a brief moment of awareness! And I can have more!! All I have to do is be aware in the moment of feeling contracted, and not feeling Love. Try it you'll Like it!
Here we are, in Lesson 28 and MAN! Is it a good one! Doug and I say that all the time, huh? We have said it over and over because we have read the lessons many times and still feel the excitement of how our lives change with Awareness, Love and Forgiveness.
Come and join us! We have so much fun sharing our excitement and changes and challenges, we really love and support each other. We will share with you too. Come and Join us. Info is at the bottom of the page.
Lesson 28 ~You and You Alone Create Your Tomorrows
· Page 325 ~ As you look out, then, through the eyes of the body, you would actually believe that you dwell within it, and therefore, have a private domain that is all yours. This leads you to the great delusion that you can have private thoughts. Like one who comes home after a day of work and closes the front door behind them and then rants and raves about their boss or their coworkers, thinking that the walls of the house are around them and that, therefore, they have something called “privacy.” Rest assured that this is quite a delusion!
· You decide which thoughts will influence your life. Page 325 ~
I am more than a body. My mind is vast and unlimited. And that is the deeper essence of my identity and my existence. I am in perfect communication with all forms of life at all time. I need only withdraw my attention from my perception of my body to access communication with anyone at any time.
· Page 326 ~ Why is this so? You once decided to dream the impossible dream: the dream of separation. The body is the result of that thought—the attempt to create something that succeeds in separating you from the Mind of God. But you have never succeeded. For in the moment that that began to emerge, the Holy Spirit already translated it into something that is not a separation device, but a communication device. You failed. The Holy Spirit did not!
· Page 327 ~ The problem is that you have unwittingly taught yourself to live from fear, to think negative thoughts, to believe that the opinions of the world mean something. You have literally created a world in which people are negatively minded, do not want to support you, and do not think you are worth anything. Yet, you are the one that is projecting that belief about yourself. And you, therefore, will attract a like vibration. For like attracts like.
If you, therefore, want to attract beings who will support you and love you, decide to be a being who supports and loves yourself. Decide to open your arms wide, as we spoke of in the last lesson, to receive the Love, the presence and the pleasure of God’s presence.
· Page 328 ~ Where have I been waiting for love to show up as a gift of something or someone else to me? Stop what you are doing and be the one who gives Love to yourself—simply so that you can enjoy it.
· How to dissolve the power of fear Page 329 ~
How, then, do you dissolve the power of fear? By recognizing it, by feeling it, and by owning the simple fact that fear is not your master and continuing to walk on. The “ring of fear” of which I speak quite deeply in A Course in Miracles is simply that. The ring of fear is something constructed from the inside out.
In reality, all power under Heaven and Earth is given unto the holy Child of God. When you are presented with an opportunity, you are not presented something in which you are asked to walk alone. If you accept the Holy Spirit’s function as your own, every obstacle is removed before you reach it.
· The doorway to greater God Consciousness Page 330 ~
What is authentic is what you feel in the core and the depth of your being—in innocence. What do I mean by that? The innocent heart is not needy. It does not require selected individuals to agree with it. It does not wait until the universe nods its head in approval. It merely knows it is innocent and acts from it, and is not attached to the opinions of the world.
Authenticity is the core through which Christ Mind grows. Any time you look and see that you have not been living authentically, and decide to take a deep breath and let your illusions be shattered by becoming transparent, telling the truth, and allowing whatever changes need to occur to occur, then indeed, you are growing your Christ Mind.
· Page 332 ~ Where are you still being inauthentic? Where are you responding with a smile when you are actually feeling anger? Where are you responding with an “okay,” when inwardly the answer is “no”? Where are you responding in fear to the substance you would put in your body? For example, “I can’t eat that because that’s a very bad substance, and I want to be healthy.” It is the very fear that is creating a tomorrow of unhealthiness.
Love heals all things. Love transmutes all things. Love embraces all things, and thereby, transcends all things. Where are you not allowing Love to be your reality? Then ask yourself:
What changes can I make so that I am truly showing up in a more authentic way?
