Hi Everyone,


What a beautiful day it is! I hope you all made a choice to take 2 minutes to breathe in the fresh fall air, this very day, Monday 10.15.12. To love yourself and remember for a moment or two that; It is possible to Love! It is possible to remember we are a creation of God!

What a lesson 21 is! Allowing; Desire and Forgivness. Three very simple things to do. Read on....


Lesson 21 ~ Allowance is the Doorway to the Kingdom


  • It is not possible for you to be with out Love

  • It is not possible for you to be alone

  • It is not possible for you to taste death

  • It is not possible for you to taste genuine loss

  • It is not possible for you to suffer the dream of separation. (first five of nine statements)(pg. 251)

  • Love alone heals all things. The innocent need not fear…because you are completely free to be thoroughly honest about what comes up in the mind as you sit with each statement.(pg. 252) 

  • Become willing to be one who cultivates the ability to allow all things. The mind that is free can do this. The mind that is imprisoned cannot. For the mind that is imprisoned is so because it insists that what it perceives should become different in itself, but that the perceiver need not change. And that is the very essence of imprisonment. (pg. 253)

  • Allowance… is a process of letting go and trusting. It is a process of saying: I wonder what it would be like to just let things be as they are – to notice them and let them pass by? (pg. 253)

  • Allowance can be thought of as a resistance being melted from the nervous system, which is just an aspect of the mind anyway. Allowance is like opening up the palms of the hands. Instead of holding on so tightly, you simply let go. What would you let go of? The habit of needing to be right, the habit of the need to perceive that the world is a fearful place. The habit of perceiving that you are in lack. The habit of perceiving that Christ must be far away from you. Anything that is unlike the Kingdom of Heaven is a habit well worth releasing by allowing it to be dissolved from your mind. (pg. 253) 

  • …forgiveness is essential. It is necessary for the atonement. Forgiveness is another word for allowance…It is a willingness to see complete neutrality of all events. (pg. 254)

  • …Forgiveness is forgiveness of one’s self for insisting on replacing Reality with your own version of it. (pg. 254)

  • …you cannot awaken fully unless you include yourself in the circle of your forgiveness. (pg. 255)

  • Allowance is equally as important as desire… (pg. 255) 

  • … it is only the ego that will compare and contrast. (pg. 255)

  • …establish a relationship with the Comforter as though it were a relationship with a good friend – indeed, the best of friends – until you reach a point in which virtually every decision is given to that Mind: well old buddy, should I turn right or left? You relinquish ownership of your life. It is only the ego that thinks it can possess life. Spirit knows that Life possesses it. That is, Life has birthed you: the Mind of God has given rise to you. You are God’s. You are not the owner of Life. You are recipient of it. (pg. 256)

  • …in the realm of the world, which is the realm perception, the only thing  that exists is constant change. Underneath it there is a changeless Reality that which pervades the changeable... where there is resistance to change, rest assured, there is a mind living in delusion. (pg. 256)

  • The awakened mind can embrace all things, trust all things, and thereby, transcends all things instantly, even in the midst of change. (pg. 256)

  • …the power of transformation is the transformation of consciousness, which is the only thing that can be transformed. Learning is a consciousness thing. It is the only thing that can be changed. It is the only place that learning can occur. And all learning is designed to translate perception, so that it becomes more and more and more and more like Reality itself. Fear dissolves from the mind. And then, the Father can take the final step for you. Learning is necessary in the field of perception. You have placed yourself within that field. So why not get on with it, and let perception be healed? It is healed by bringing the power of observation to what is right in front of you, not in front of the body, but right in the field of awareness itself. That is why you should be dancing in your shoes at all time:

 

My goodness, I don’t have to go anywhere. It’s right here in front of me. This ordinary moment provide the doorway to the transformation of consciousness itself. All I have to do is bring a little willingness to it. And guess what? I have all power under heaven and earth to do just that! Nobody can take it from me! Nobody can change the freedom in which I live! I am the one who can bring that little willingness to this moment and let the raindrops hit the window! (pg 258)

 

  • Spirituality is merely a process of seeing things differently. (pg 259) 

  • All suffering is the resistance of Reality. All awakening and healing is the letting go of resistance. Forgiveness. Allowance:

 

God is already here. I am forever God’s. I surrender.

Surrender is the fruit of allowance.

Surrender is the fruit of forgiveness.                  

Surrender is the same as the atonement. (pg 259)
