Mary:
In our reading in the Workbook of A Course in Miracles this morning, this paragraph stood out:
You are as God created you. Today honor your Self. Let graven images you made to be the Son of God instead of what he is be worshipped not today. Deep in your mind the holy Christ in you is waiting your acknowledge as you. And you are lost and do not know yourself while He is unacknowledged and unknown. (W-pI.110.9)
Today my practice is to give acknowledgment to the one Self we all share. This means that I have to let go of the self-image I have made. Today is devoted to vigilance to acknowledging our one Self. This is all I want; this is all I need.
Robert:
I have observed that I am much happier when I am not judging. Having an opinion is a downer. It makes my “happiness” dependent upon situations, things and people being the way my opinion says they should be. Opinions declare that I am unwilling to accept God’s gift of eternal joy and would rather have some image that I make up to my liking.
So ultimately every opinion is a judgment against God. Why would I do that? Only if I believe that it is possible that I could have more than everything. That is the core of the ego thought system. I can go on seeking for brief moments of seeming happiness when my opinion is that I like the circumstance or I can let go of a crazy idea that I could have more than all of God. Since Love (God) is all there is, only this eternal Love given me and everyone wholly and completely will ever satisfy. This Love is changeless. It does not come and go. Being ever present, it is there, waiting only upon my acknowledgment.
Today I practice acknowledging the Love, the Christ, the one Self that I am along with everyone. And I will have a happy day.
