Ah, such energy and straining spent
to deny, to push away,
what is undeniable.
Pulling, pushing, yearning
plotting, plodding on, scheming,
all the while pretending that
love is nowhere,
that suffering is real,
that I am alone and loveless.

Workbook Lessons 121 and 122 state: “Forgiveness is the key to happiness” and “Forgiveness offers everything I want.” I had an experience I would like to share that demonstrates the truth of these two lessons.

A delicate sphere ever so
airy and light,
An inner awareness begins,
to my delight.
Feeling so joyfully happy,
so ready to play,
For this is how I shall
see myself today.
Dandelion Fluff, resting in
God’s gentle hand,
So perfectly formed, an awareness
That I Am.
A Holy Message of Love,
ready to be shared,
For this moment
have I been prepared.

Recently I had one of the most empowering insights I’ve had in quite a long time. I brought my pastor, Rev. John Vise, a copy of something I’d written for his feedback. He carefully read the words I’d written and quietly looked up at me and said, “Stop taking ownership of the ego.” He then used a highlighter and marked all the times I’d used the word “my” in reference to the ego. I had never noticed myself doing this, and had never thought about the implications of taking ownership of the ego.
When we take ownership of something, we believe we are responsible for it. It’s ours and we have to take care of it. The care and feeding of an ego is impossible. It has a voracious appetite for drama and is never, ever full. It always wants to see more sin, feel more guilt and feel more fear. In this way it proves that it is right and God is wrong.

I never really understood what genuine prayer really is. I used to think that to pray involved some measure of reverence — getting down on my knees and begging for some thing or some circumstance. Sometimes, though rarely, that kind of praying actually seemed to be effective, but most of the time I felt that I’d get better results beating on a dead horse. Usually for me prayer was a one way conversation, a plea or wish for something I thought I needed, something I wanted but didn’t have or a situation that I perceived would ‘make everything better’ if fulfilled.
Growing up, I observed many others praying in the same manner. From members of my family, to schoolmates and even entire church congregations, I saw what I perceived as the normal method of praying which was begging for stuff.
I went through many periods of time when I was downright angry and frustrated with praying. For the most part it didn’t seem to work. Many questions came up like who was I praying to and did “He” hear me or was “He” deliberately ignoring me? Did I do something to anger “Him” to the point that I was somehow unworthy of any answers to my prayers?

Connecting now to the Highest Power within
to center me, relax me and bring me peace.
While at the same time sharing that peace
with those in my immediate vicinity, my village,
my city, my province, my country.
Understanding there are no separate places,
only Unity and Oneness fills all space.
I allow Love and Peace to flow through
me to all people and all situations. Love
blankets everyone, everywhere. It flows across
every conflict in the world, enveloping it.
