It is a sad statement that in what we think of as a “free society,” few of us feel free. Instead, most of us feel chained to our jobs, family responsibilities, chores, and various other worldly commitments. We may say to ourselves that once we get through this job report, or this family obligation, then we will be free, but something always comes along to fill that space. It seems that “freedom” is always something that will happen in the future, an elusive concept that never comes to fruition. Do we even have a description of what freedom is? Is it just time to do whatever we want or is it something much deeper?

I know you only when
there is no time.
And where there is nothing
and no empty spaces
And the only thing
that is real is my joy
I know your name
The only name that exists
Perfect, whole and complete forever
The why of what I am

In working with clients and in my inner personal healing work I am a big fan for simplifying everything and finding the path of least resistance.
I’ve found that when I am feeling stuck with finding a solution to a problem, or moving forward with a project, or in healing a hurting relationship with a loved one, that it’s because, well… “it’s complicated!” At least it seems to be. It can be so tempting to drop kick the Course book into the corner, distance yourself from a lifelong friendship, disown your family, get divorced. Because sticking with it is just too hard.
“The Course is Simple.”

This is the lesson for today. I know I have seen this lesson many times over the years, because there are underlined sentences, different colors of markers, and notes in the margins from previous years. Yet today the lesson and thought for the day seem fresh and new, as if I had not seen it before. The focus of this lesson is my thoughts.
Chapter 27 of the Text, Section VII, tells us “of one thing you were sure: of all the many causes you perceived as bringing pain and suffering to you, your guilt was not among them.”

A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 142 is a review of two previous ones.
“I thank my Father for His gifts to me” and “Let me remember I am one with God.”
As I sat with the first lesson, I closed my eyes and began to think about this. Deeply. What are God’s gifts to me? And they began to rise to my awareness; as I said them out loud to myself, I began to feel each one. They are so many, and so good. I realized that focusing and feeling these consistently can keep me in a state of fulfillment and oneness with God. The ones that were popping up like a water fountain and stood out more were these:

… with the Course in hand. So many lessons, so much time, so many thoughts, and feelings that lead us into many different directions. I am busy un-learning.
What belief do I need to let go of? What pain is creeping in that is uninvited and yet keeps me focused on it? What has gotten me into this grumpy mood that I don’t want to do anything but bite back and attack?
I try to quiet myself and still those thoughts that come flashing in from all sides. Breathing in, breathing out. Forgiving and letting go.
