Mary:
This morning we were led to read Review V in the Workbook for Students. This message from Jesus stood out to me: “I take the journey with you. For I share your doubts and fears a little while, that you may come to me who recognize the road by which all fears and doubts are overcome. We walk together. I must understand uncertainty and pain, although I know they have no meaning. Yet a savior must remain with those he teaches, seeing what they see, but still retaining in his mind the way that led him out, and now will lead you out with him. God’s Son is crucified until you walk along the road with me.” (W-pI.V.6:1-6, p. 330)
This message reminds me that I am not alone with the challenges I seem to face within this world of time and separate bodies. Our true Self remains within us all, willing to remind us of what is true. If I am willing, I will be led out of this false world I have made. I will be led out of the prison house I have built for myself.
As I am willing to let go and let God, as I am willing to relax and melt into God’s peace, I am brought to a new awareness. I am brought to a place of inner serenity and trust that is not of the world. As I put my true Self in charge of my mind, the past and the future disappear and there is only the eternal now. Here I remember that I am safe, I am innocent, I am Love, I am Home. Here there is nothing to defend against, nothing to worry about, for here there is no danger and no loss. Chicken Little’s false stories that the sky is falling can still be heard, but they are now seen as meaningless fear thoughts that drone on and on because that is all the ego knows to do. It is clear the the ego thought system is not what we all are. The truth about us all is that we are still the one Light of God and nothing else.
My only function now is to be willing with every situation to practice stepping back and letting my inner teacher lead me out of dream to the truth of Where and What we all are always. Peace and Love and joy remain constant. As I let go and let God, I receive the experience that only this is true.
Robert:
Nothing in this world can bring me lasting comfort. Nothing in this world can make me safe. Nothing in this world can bring me peace. Nothing in this world can complete me. Yet I can be comforted. I can be at peace and know I am safe in this world. I can be fulfilled because comfort and safety and peace are attributes of what I am as Love’s extension. I am complete because I could never truly disconnect from Love’s wholeness.
Thus it is my Self that is all I really want. To find this Self I need only remove the made up barriers of denial that seem to stand between me and what I am. This is what forgiveness is for. Forgiveness is simply letting go of belief that I am anything but Love. Through forgiveness I remember: “God is but Love, and therefore so am I.”
