Gentle Healing Journal Lesson 90 2-1-19

Lesson 90
(79) Let me recognize the problem so it can be solved.
80) Let me recognize my problems have been solved.

“The problem is a grievance; the solution is a miracle. And I invite the solution to come to me through my forgiveness of the grievance, and my welcome of the miracle that takes its place.”

This morning, I read a news blurb about a tragedy involving children and I had a strong emotional reaction to it. I prayed for the people involved and then I asked the Holy Spirit for another way to see this because it was breaking my heart. Something very similar happened the day before and I forgave that grievance as well. The miracle that that took its place was peace of mind. Peace came to take the place of my grief because I welcomed it. In time, there is tragedy, but time doesn’t exist, and I do so in spite of appearances I must not be in time.

“I believe that the problem comes first, and time must elapse before it can be worked out. I do not see the problem and the answer as simultaneous in their occurrence.”

This quote is not so clear to me. I understand the concept, I just don’t experience the problem and the solution simultaneously so I can’t really speak to that. I can say that the elapse of time is so much shorter now, but until they are simultaneous, I don’t think I can really understand that my problems have been solved. I can accept that this must be true and look forward to the day when this is my experience. Another thought that came to me is that I must be resisting this idea or it would already be my experience. Is there still some desire in me for the problem, the drama, the chance to solve it myself? Sigh.

Regina’s Tips
A Course in Miracles tells us:

“The value of deciding in advance what you want to happen is simply that you will perceive the situation as a means to make it happen.”

In other words, as we become crystal clear on what we want and focus on what we want, we will see clearly our part in achieving it. However, that’s not all there is to it. In the Meta-Secret film we were told to expect quantum leaps. Those are the miracles that we are entitled to. As we envision our spiritual aspiration and as we do our part to achieve our spiritual aspiration, the deeper part of our Self rises to join with us, and shifts occur that are beyond our little efforts.

This will happen!

So as I said, my heart beats excitedly with joyous anticipation of the journey ahead. We can’t imagine it, but it is coming because we are inviting it.

My Thoughts
I join Regina in her excitement. Every day is an opportunity to decide what matters, where I want my focus. I expect quantum leaps!
