In lesson 71, the Course assures that ‘Only God’s Plan’ for salvation will work. This is good news as it means there is a plan. It is not of me so I don’t have to worry about constructing it. It will work and Holy Spirit will help me …all of the time. However, this same lesson also says that ego has a plan for our salvation which involves getting us to buy into “Grievances.”

In A Course in Miracles, Text, Chapter 14, Section XI, perhaps the key point Jesus is trying to get across to us (to me) is introduced in the first sentence of the section:
“Yet the essential thing is learning that you do not know.” (T-14.XI.1:1)
What don’t I know? As I was studying this section, I noticed the feeling of ‘being attacked’ was in my mind, which I didn’t like.

Today I am full of thought. The bible study I am working on, the sermon yesterday in church and A Course in Miracles studies all stirred up a lot of emotion. “Not a coincidence” Holy Spirit assures me.
When we were kids, we were always told to “be good” and sometimes to “behave or else,” but we were never helped by adults to change our mental, spiritual or emotional behavior patterns.

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.
