Healing Fear Thoughts
We are so excited about the new CD and DVD albums that are this year’s gifts of gratitude for member donations. They include recordings of Undoing the Ego II presented by Nouk Sanchez and Tomas Vieira and 3 Awakening workshops by Regina Dawn Akers and Laurent Elie Levy. Also included is Rev. Myron Jones new CD audio book Healing Family Relationships. These 3 albums will be shipped in segments as they are completed during the year.
Mary — As we watch the daily news about the economy and the upcoming election in the dream world, it seems to be so focused on thoughts of scarcity and blame. There seems to be so many ‘problems’ in the world which are hard to resolve. As I observe all these ‘events,’ I find it important to take all these stories to the altar within my mind to receive a correction in my perception. There the Holy Spirit shows me a picture of a comic book and I am gently reminded that all these stories are just like the scenes in a comic book. There may be a lot of ‘pows!’ and ‘bams!’ and ‘booms!’ in the world’s stories just like we see in children’s comic books. But just like a comic book, we can lay the stories down and realize they are no more serious than the comic book.
With Holy Spirit’s help I return to the truth that everyone is safe. Everyone in the dream of separation is still in truth an extension of our one Creator’s Love. The Course tells us, “Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God.”
This remembering helps me feel how safe and truly abundant we all are in truth. When we are ready, we can all lay the comic book of separation down and rejoice that only what is eternal is true and nothing else is true. We can dream of time and differences, but we cannot make our comic book stories real.
Now as I observe the continuing saga going on the the world, I can more easily see it as just another page in the ego’s comic book. It is just a silly story that could never be what we truly Are.
I am so thankful that I know about the inner altar of Truth that is within us all. I can take all the fear thoughts that show up and take them to this inner Altar. In the Course I am reminded, “Bring your perceptions of the world to this altar, for it is the altar to truth. There you will see your vision changed, and there you will learn to see truly. From this place, where God and His Son dwell in peace and where you are welcome, you will look out in peace and behold the world truly. Yet to find the place, you must relinquish your investment in the world as you project it, allowing the Holy Spirit to extend the real world to you from the altar of God. (T-12.III. 10:6-9)
As I continue to practice this, the fear thoughts are transformed. I find an inner peace and a sense of safety that is not found in the world. I remember that all is well. And nothing in the comic book dreams of the world can change this Reality.
I feel so grateful that this inner altar to truth is always there in my mind, waiting to receive and heal all my fear thoughts. It never fails when I am willing enough to receive the correction to behold the world truly. A deep feeling of peace and happiness replaces what I momentarily thought was real. Ahhh! The mountain turns into a molehill. What seemed like a big deal is softly melted away. I am left with the feeling that I am invulnerable. I remember that “Salvation comes from my one Self. Its thoughts are mine to use.” (W-pI.96.9:2)
I can join with the ego thoughts or I can join with the thoughts that come from my one Self. I first have to ask myself, “Do I want to hold on to fear thoughts and real-ize them or do I want to accept and use the thoughts that come from my one Self? I answer this question by watching where my state of mind is in every now moment.
