Together, We Light the Way

My Rules for Decision Plan for the Day

Today, I will make no decisions with the ego mind.

One of the Pathways of Light courses that I am doing with mind healing partners is centered around the Obstacles to Peace section of the Course. I forgot just how important this section is. I just finished reading this.

“The dedication to death and to its sovereignty is but the solemn vow, the promise made in secret to the ego never to lift this veil, not to approach it nor even to suspect it is there. This is the secret bargain made with the ego to keep what lies beyond the veil forever blotted out and unremembered. Here is your promise never to allow union to call you out of separation; the great amnesia in which the memory of God seems quite forgotten; the cleavage of you Self from you;-the fear of God, the final step in your dissociation.”

Well, we are breaking that contract, aren’t we? We who are studying the Course and who have dedicated our lives to undoing the ego, have taken the first step, and maybe many steps toward lifting the veil. The way we are doing this is through forgiveness. It is the only way to do it. The lifting of the veil must be done in union and union cannot occur where there is fear and guilt.

“But first, lift up your eyes and look on your brother in innocence born of complete forgiveness of his illusions, and through the eyes of faith that sees the not.”

He tells us that we fear God because we fear our brother, and that no one reaches love with fear beside him. He says this:

“Brother, you need forgiveness of your brother, for you will share in madness or in Heaven together. And you will raise your eyes in faith together, or not at all.

The course I am taking right now is called Remembering to Choose Peace, and one of the things it says in summary of this section is this:

“Jesus wants us to understand that we will receive the gift of innocence we give our brother. When we join together with our brother instead of separating, we are able to go beyond the darkest veil – the fear of God. We are asked to watch very carefully how we are seeing our brother – through the eyes of guilt or innocence, because we will always give as we receive and receive as we give.”

This is why I had to forgive my illusions of the character, Donald Trump. His character represents the ego in a way that made me turn away from him and that can only be because I recognize within myself what I see in him that scares me. And yet, I cannot be redeemed if I hold him guilty. As long as I keep him guilty, I cannot enter the presence of God.

So every day, I look at his picture and I read the things he has done today. I watch my thoughts and my feelings and I offer the Holy Spirit each one that is not forgiving so that both Donald and I can be free. I truly understand that I cannot be free if he is not free. This is why loving Donald Trump is part of my plan for the day every day.

The only thing that interferes with this love is unforgiven illusions of him. So that is part of my plan for the day as well. Let me forgive my illusions of him, for surely, it is the Christ I look upon and I will not be blinded to that.

I will make no decisions with my ego mind and I will have the day God wants for me.
