II. The Way to Remember God, P 6

6 You still want what God wills, and no nightmare can defeat a child of God in his purpose. For your purpose was given you by God, and you must accomplish it because it is His Will. Awake and remember your purpose, for it is your will to do so. What has been accomplished for you must be yours. Do not let your hatred stand in the way of love, for nothing can withstand the Love of Christ for His Father, or His Father’s Love for Him.

I want what God wills. There is still some confusion left in my mind and so I forget that and return to wishing with the ego until I notice what I have done, and then I remember my purpose. I want to wake up from this dream story and know my oneness with God again. I want to remember the love that I am and the love that is my Father. I want to remember what it is like to love God without any fear or uncertainty.

Because this is my will and my heart’s desire, I must have it. Nothing can stand in the way of God’s Will and I share that Will. I must have this because it has already been accomplished for me. I am happy to be vigilant for the hateful ego stories that block my awareness of my true self. And any story that blocks the awareness of loves presence is hateful even if it is disguised as pleasant or even wonderful. All illusions are hateful because they keep me from knowing the love of God.

It helps me stay on course as I remember that this is true. The illusion is still an illusion when it seems to be a happy illusion, and illusions keep me from all that is real. I love my children and yet this love is a pale thing next to the love of God. I am happier and more peaceful in my story than I ever have been, and yet, it is nothing compared to the peace of God and the joy that is mine right now.

Here is what the ego offers me, the temptations that entice me to stay in the dream.
·      The illusion of a separate personal self
·      The illusion of love
·      The illusion of winning
·      The illusion of success
·      The illusion of happiness
·      The illusion of emotions
·      The illusion of choices
·      The illusion of decisions
·      The illusion of meaning and purpose
·      The illusion that maybe the next story will be better, more interesting, happier, more exciting
·      The illusion of victimhood
·      The illusion of lack and loss
·      The illusion of being unfairly treated
·      The illusion of fear and guilt
·      The illusion of pain, suffering and death

Here is what God offers me.
·      Everything, all of Himself

Today, I ask my Helper to remind me of what it is I want. When the ego offers me it’s “gifts” I will choose God instead. If I fail to do that, I will notice my error and choose again. This seems to be working for me. I feel the shift in understanding and the shift in awareness. I feel something I don’t know how to describe, and I want it all the time.
