The Spiritual Law of Intention dictates that Universal energies support a person’s intention, as it is the basis of manifestation in the physical. Within this law, it is best to invoke the sacred intention to set the stage at the beginning of new activity. The intensity of this intention to grow, become one with; it is what leads to the attunement of vibration with Spirit:
“Intention is our focus for creating that change within ourselves and our environment.”

I am continually learning to discern which motivations in my life are ego-driven and which are from my Inner Wisdom meant to help me fulfill my soul’s purpose while in this body as Andrea Sassa Archuleta. Wow, that’s a mouthful!
“OK. Let’s start simple,” I tell myself, because as I sort out what I am talking about I can easily get jumbled and confused. Which is okay too, but, well, here we go…

My reliance has been on the strength of my body. Yet I do not see its limitations unless I allow myself to be honest. I imagine I have free will and I exercise that in my choices of how to defend myself — never thinking that that is no real choice.

The body is nothing but a mistaken thought. A Course in Miracles says that it was a tiny mad idea that put us in hell, a dream world of separation from God, from Love. The problem is that when that thought came into our consciousness, we forgot to laugh at how insane this idea really was. In fact, we were tempted by this voice (thought) to make up a whole world, where the body was made to hide from God, who we believed would punish us for separating from Him. And so, fear of God replaced the memory of a loving Father who created us in innocence and perfection.

Who knew I’d find such an incredible outpouring of wisdom and love in such an unlikely place! At least, unlikely as far as the average un-incarcerated person is concerned. Wakulla C.I. in Crawfordville, Florida has recently become, for me, a stairway to Heaven. Actually, more like an express elevator to my function on earth — to give and receive God’s Love.

Many years ago I was in a car accident, which changed my life drastically. I lost my teaching job of 27 years, a marriage, and over the years I have had at least 30 surgeries. I have actually lost count. It was a hit and run. A lady ran a red light and hit me at 55 mph. Little did I know at the time how important it was that the healing of my mind and thoughts were determinedly necessary for my physical healing.

Jesus was the first to complete his full return to God. He was the first to recognize and overcome the entire dream of separation by undoing its nucleus of death. In the illusion of time He was our pioneer, the one who demolished the veil of death and fulfilled God’s Will completely. Until Jesus triumphantly overcame death through His own resurrection, we all, the one collectively sleeping mind, dwelt in darkness.
Through His resurrection He overcame all ego laws and gifted us with the Atonement, which is the undoing of fear. The Atonement is an immediate tool for correcting fear in our perception.

Reading the title, doesn’t it make you curious what this plan could be?
The lesson offers three questions to use in order to find out. This morning I had the golden opportunity to do just that. My former husband and I were having breakfast together, talking about a planned camping trip. Soon we were getting entangled in our opposite ways of doing things. I noticed the energy and asked that we sit down and just breathe for ten minutes, which we did.
I asked the first question:
1. What would You have Us do? (Meaning my Higher Self and Me as One US.)
‘To let go of the need to control.’

Mind Watching
So, I’ve been diligently watching the thoughts in my mind and asking Holy Spirit to judge them for me and to sanction the true thoughts, correct those with some truth, and to take away the ones that are not salvageable. I have been doing this for years. Lately, I have been identifying with the truth more than the ego and my mind watching is evolving.

For the past two weeks I have struggled with what started out as a virus and then soon became a lung infection. I have had asthma for many years along with several other health conditions I have been concerned about. One night I became so distressed over not being able to get any air I considered calling 911.
My husband works away and commutes so I am alone part of the time. I cried out to Holy Spirit, “What do I need to learn from this? Where do I need to heal my mind?”

“The power of witness comes from your belief. And everything you say or do or think but testifies to what you teach to him.” (T-27.II.5:4-5)
We are all teaching — all the time. So truly, what is it that I desire to teach?

Isn’t it ironic that, in an instant of time, a thought came into our mind to make a world separate from our Creator; a world where we wanted a separate identity; a world where we could feel special. Now doesn’t that sound like a teenager in rebellion against his parents?
And guess what, we got what we asked for, but did we really?
We made a body where we can hide from our Creator and then all we do is complain about the body we made: It’s too short. It’s too tall. It’s too skinny. It’s too fat. It’s too frail. It’s in too much pain… complain, complain. So here we are, complaining about what we made.

Holy Spirit, my Inner Teacher, Helper, Comforter, I look to you for help with writing this article for the Pathways of Light Miracles News. Much has transpired in this still short year.
The following are timeless experiences in time, clearly connected, one opening into the one that follows. The sequence began in a pause: Jesus’ presence at my side, telling me “Accept the Atonement for yourself.” > I begin practicing being present to Presence during my daily activities >

The world you see but shows you how much joy you have allowed yourself to see in you, and to accept as yours. And, if this is its meaning, then the power to give it joy must lie within you. (T-21.Intro. 2:7-8)
This quote is particularly interesting to me because I notice how one moment I can be in the throws of judgment and the next I can be laughing and full of joy or vice versa and nothing has changed except my perception!

Recently my daughter-in-law’s mother passed away. For her six year old granddaughter, I thought it would be very confusing. Her illness lasted about four weeks before her death. Quite a short time for the adults in the family to come to grips with her loss.
At her mother’s birthday party a couple of weeks later, Ellie (granddaughter) went around to all the adults with a heart shaped can her Grandma Barb had given her. She asked me if I wanted to see inside. I said, “Sure.” The can appeared to be empty. Ellie said, “Can you feel her and see her in Spirit? Her love fills this can.”
