WB Lesson 214 Thoughts

I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.
I place the future in the Hands of God. —What God gives can only be for good. And I accept only what He gives as what belongs to me.

When I place the future in the Hands of God, that means I can hold no concerns about the future. I choose to stay in the present moment, recognizing there is no past and no future. Staying in the present moment is surrendering control of my daily doings.

My plans for safety or protection have not truly helped me. I give up these plans when I place the future in the Hands of God. I surrender what I think I know. I ask my Inner Guide, my personal Planner to make all decisions for me. As I learn to surrender the false thoughts, my personal Planner holds the truth for me. It knows my true and only desire is to wake from the dream and be at Home.

WB Lesson 59 Thoughts

God goes with me wherever I go.
God is my strength. Vision is His gift.
God is my Source. I cannot see apart from Him.
God is the light in which I see.
God is the Mind with which I think.

This is what came to mind:

Forgiveness is done for me through the strength of God in me.
I can take my doubt, sorrow, regret, or guilt to God’s alter and leave it there, to be undone.*     
It is illusions I choose to see when I try to see through the body’s eyes. I can see what God wants me to see, when I choose to look with Him. The images that appear to me I have chosen and I can remember they do not matter as they have not changed eternal truth and Love.

* The key is to really leave the thought(s) on the alter. Not to pick them up and attempt to fix them or disperse them by myself. Ego system projects the unwanted and tells me that it is gone, but that is just a lie. I have to give up the thought or belief, totally surrender it, and trust or believe that it is taken care of by that unseen Hand. I need only rest in the softness of surrender, I need only to allow Love in, and I will be led.

My Function, To Let Go

Inspired thoughts:

Your only function is to let go.
You do not have to hold (onto) what hurts you.
You are learning that what the ego wishes does hurt you; it keeps your mind imprisoned by illusions. Learn, then, that you do not want illusions because they do nothing and you can not find happiness in nothing. Therefore, you do not recognize what would give you happiness.

WB 202
Why would I choose to stay an instant more where I do not belong?
Perhaps from an insane idea that the world can give me love or specialness. Or that something here can complete me.  In truth or reality, I have all love. In truth I was created whole and complete, so I lack in no way. If I choose to stay in the world, I can avoid the truth. But I am not a body/ego; I am free to choose again.

This thought I do not want, I choose instead: I will be still an instant and go home.
I am not an ego. I am free. I am still as God created me.

Lost In Illusions

If I support the ego, there is no God. If I support God, there is no ego. It is always one or the other, it cannot be both. I am aware of the false world or the real world. This is all I choose between; either I am in God’s Mind or I am lost in illusions. How happy I will be when I accept that I am the maker of illusion, the dreamer of the dream. Then I can choose to wake and be free of every thought of separation.

Shift and Change

Recently Spirit told me:

The only thing certain about this world is it will change. Images that shift and change have no meaning nor content. The changeless is eternal and is only certain. Your certainty lies in Love for only that is real, only that has meaning.

Trust in your Source to supply whatever you seem to need. Until you understand He has given you everything, you will encounter fear. This is the opportunity to practice listening and letting go of the false idea. In this practice you open more and more to truth, peace and Love. In this way you experience instants of your true Home and not the imagined place you made.

Your miniscule desire to experience the impossible holds this world before your eyes. Your experience of a changing world is only a dream. Desire only the truth, peace or love, and awakening is yours. You may deny the simple truth, but you can never change it. You have a Guide with you always Who leads you out of sleep, Who shares all He knows with you, and Who has no end. Of this you can be certain.
