Healing Responses

Robert:
Yesterday’s reminder to laugh was helpful. We decided it was time to get a fax machine. I went and bought an all-in-one machine. Got it home, set it up and discovered it didn’t have a fax feature. As in everything in the ego world, “all” means different things to different people. LOL. Before leaving to return it, I set the phone to call forward to our cell. Got the machine returned and found what we needed for a good price at Sam’s Club. Got back and discovered call forwarding hadn’t worked. I had forgotten to start with *72. LOL. It was much nicer to laugh than have a grievance. 

When I hold on to grievances, I distract myself with thoughts of the past. When I focus on the past, I’m unaware of the present and thus unaware of Love. I am also not aware of the present in the world and so I miss details like *72 which set up situations that further add to distraction and lack of peace. Remembering to laugh is a quick way to release attention on the past to move on in the joyous present. Today I am willing to be open to the joy of now.

Mary:
As I go to Spirit for insight this morning, I am encouraged to frequently ask this question today: Right now, what am I and where am I in truth? When I do remember to ask this, I am reminded that I am Love and am still joined in the Mind of Love.

Remembering this takes a load off my shoulders. It helps to end the struggle that invariably comes with believing in the world. In truth I have never left Heaven. In truth everyone is there with me and has never left.

Remembering this truth helps me laugh at the ego’s crazy antics and lift the load I place on my shoulders when I get caught up in the dream. Asking what am I and where am I in truth and remembering to laugh are healing responses for when I forget and take the dream seriously.
