“By deciding against your reality, you have made yourself vigilant against God and His Kingdom.” (T-10.II.6:5)
Every moment of every waking day we have the choice to recognize the Love that surrounds us, the Love that we share, and the Love that connects all of life in this universe.
Or we can choose to view through the body’s eyes, the constantly changing script the ego puts forth in our “life’s” experience with the mind’s trickery. Thoughts, feelings, memories, emotions, all just recycling based on the collective data from our life’s past, projecting onto the future.
“Would you be hostage to the ego or host to God? You will accept only whom you invite.” (T-11.II.7:1-2)

In the Teacher’s Manual (M-20 pg. 51) we learn what is the Peace of God. Jesus itemizes the questions and steps we take to obtain it. It is a very useful look at what it means. We all know that we should want and join the Peace of God, but we often don’t find the connection or don’t know what it is supposed to feel like.
“What is the peace of God?
“It has been said that there is a kind of peace that is not of this world. How is it recognized? How is it found? And being found, how can it be retained? Let us consider each of these questions separately, for each reflects a different step along the way.” (M.20.1)

I’ve always been enamored with travel. Jetting off to exotic, beautiful destinations, exploring a new landscape, discovering exciting things that reaffirm my belief in the goodness of humanity and the wonder that is life. For as long as I can remember I have held images in my mind of far away lands, where all is “perfect,” all is well, all is in order. There is no worry or lack. Just happiness, ease, calm. There’s only space for the good stuff. These far away lands know nothing of my troubles.

My salvation comes from me,
A concept full of liberty.
Guilt is what my mind invents,
While guilt, my Higher Mind prevents.
Guilt and salvation live side by side.
Which one to choose? Which one to decide?
My mind can choose which one to let in.
Let salvation override any concept of sin.

On Monday, May 16th, 2022, I started the workbook lesson 361. The same lesson is repeated for 5 days:
“This holy instant would I give to You. Be You in charge. For I would follow You, Certain that Your direction gives me peace.”
Having re-read the text, I had started the lessons again in September, 2020, mostly doing a new one daily, but there were lessons I needed to sit with for several days at a time before moving on, hence the long time-frame.
By Thursday, May 19th, it was clear that my partner, a Teacher, and I both had the COVID-19 virus. We had been having relatively mild cold/flu symptoms for a couple of days, so we each did the rapid home test. Although my partner tested positive, I kept testing negative, but our doctor said to assume I have it, since I was also having symptoms.
Energy levels were low and afternoon naps were essential. The next several days are a bit of a blur, as my mind seemed to lose all focus, except for one thing: the constant repetition of the above lesson, throughout the day, over several days. Also in there from time to time was Mary’s voice saying, “What is this here to teach me?”

People laugh and say it would have been nice to of been born with an instruction manual for how to live this life. Actually, you were and you still have it. There is the need to learn how to access it. Although it will be touched upon, the focus here is on the Holy relationship.
The Manual for Teachers tells us, “Those who are to meet will meet, because together they have the potential for a holy relationship. They are ready for each other.” (M-4-3.1:7-8)
Here the idea of chance or coincidence is not an option. The meeting is on purpose for a specific purpose. There has been spiritual evolvement by both parties and the timing and situation is perfect to come together. What is more, on a spiritual level, these two want this opportunity to overcome their limiting ideas and grow spiritually. As it says they are ready. This sounds great, except for one thing. All this planning was done on another level instead of the earthy plane. The bad news is the ego body has no conscious memory of this planned meeting. The good news is even on the human level we recognize these special partners and are attracted to them. We just don’t yet know why.
Take marriage for example, we often hear that opposites attract. I don’t believe this. People come together because they believe the other person has something they lack and need; and they do. Just not what they bargained for on the surface level. A person is needy when they believe they lack love; their aim is to alleviate this pain. Greater pain comes when their expectations are not met and then the “attractive person” is not so desirable.
