Study of Text, Chapter10: II. The Decision to Forget, P 3. 5-18-15

II. The Decision to Forget
3 To remember is merely to restore to your mind what is already there. You do not make what you remember; you merely accept again what is already there, but was rejected. The ability to accept truth in this world is the perceptual counterpart of creating in the Kingdom. God will do His part if you will do yours, and His return in exchange for yours is the exchange of knowledge for perception. Nothing is beyond His Will for you. But signify your will to remember Him, and behold! He will give you everything but for the asking.

Journal
Evidently, just saying I am willing to remember is not the same thing as being willing to remember. If that were so, I would be doing this work from a whole other place. As I watch my mind I see what it is that I am choosing instead of God. This morning I had thoughts about not wanting to go to work. I spent many minutes rewriting history as I imagined a confrontation and this time I seemed to win.

I worried about my weight for awhile. I thought about something smart I did and congratulated myself for it. I imagined ways I could tell that story and in each way I just got smarter and smarter. There was a lot of other nonsense as well, including my lifetime favorite; I’ve got to hurry, I’m running out of time.

When my mind got especially busy I finally noticed and reminded myself that I was using the ego mind to think. I chose to use the God-Mind instead. I watched as the mind slowed and I felt peace take the place of the mindless chatter. I looked at the time and saw that I had time to write this, after all. I asked Spirit to guide me at work today, to help me be the love that I am meant to be.

I stepped away from the desire to make things happen, to choose what is important and what isn’t, to defend myself. I stepped into love and trust and peace. It was simple and seamless. It is a perfect way to start the day because I have made a decision for God that will serve as a constant reminder of what I want and how to achieve it. I did my part. I chose God and the Holy Spirit did His part and showed me what was there all along, peace, love, happiness, and that it is mine for the asking.
