A New Way to See

Maker of My Thoughts

I am the maker of my thoughts. My thoughts “produce” what I seem to see. The images I see are only my thoughts. I perceive what I want to be true. Why would I want separation? Just so I can say I made my self? Just for specialness?

I am responsible for my thoughts. But rejecting them does not remove them, it slides them into a dark corner of the mind. Only by taking my unloving, unshared thoughts to the light, will they be removed, better, transformed. By hiding my fear thoughts in the dark I think they can come back and attack me. I think that they have weight or reality. Only by taking my rejected thoughts to the light of Love do I recognize their unreality. In light their meaninglessness is clear. Only Loving thoughts are real or true. Anything that is not from Love is false or nothing.

When I rest my mind in the idea only loving thoughts are true/real, I relax. I am willing to let go of the fear thoughts. I am willing to relinquish my hold on the thoughts of separateness. I’m willing to accept that I have been wrong and I want correction only from/by the hand of Love. My fear thoughts are not here nor anywhere. My fear thoughts are nothing and nowhere. Being nothing they have no power. Yet by my belief they appear real and that is the power of my mind.

Only Loving thoughts are real.
I relax and allow loving thoughts to come to mind.
Forgiveness = loving thoughts.

I am free to forgive all my unreal thinking. I am free to forgive every fear thought I ever made.
There is only Love, only Love is.

Thoughts Without Love

I do not know what anything is for.
I have decided on my own and I have been wrong.
I am willing to give my thoughts to Love for correction. I do this now.

My thoughts without love do not mean anything. They are nothing. What Love created cannot be without love. My real thoughts are in Love and of Love. My real Mind is an extension of Love. When I deny my real Mind I do not know my true Identity. When I deny Love I make myself fearful and small. My holy Self will lead me out of my dementia, replacing the false imaginings with light and love. I welcome and join the Light within my mind. (I am very holy. My mind is part of God’s.)

In my insanity I have denied my loving Mind and made myself weak, frail and miserable without hope. So I am happy to learn that what I thought was real is all a mistaken idea; all the stories of the ego system are insubstantial as mist or smoke. There is no reality there. I am happy to learn that I have been wrong and that I can choose again. I can let go of the insane stories, the meaningless lies, the mockery of life.

Only Love is real. Only truth is true. There is no life “outside” of Love. There is only Love.
I am safe in Love.

Infinite Patience

These thoughts came to heal my mind today.

What am I writing in my holy book? (Or my story).

Spirit: Daughter, forgive yourself. You remain as guiltless as the moment you were created, save for the belief you put in the ego. This need not be. When the ego system proclaims you are black with guilt do not believe it! It says that repeating the exercises for body strength is useless unless it brings immediate results. It ignores the length of time you spent in producing strength before; it uses ‘time’ for its purpose, i.e. to keep you defeated.

Learn to question every thing it thinks it “knows.” What is based on false premise has no real meaning. Its selective memory is wholly wrong and if taken to light (Love) will be wholly undone. Illusion cannot stand before truth. Remember who walks with you and hold His hand. The Light of Your joined Mind dispels the meaningless. The truth remains in perfect unity, untouched by clouds (thoughts) of guilt and fear. You are always in perfect union with Love, only the insane thoughts of a meaningless idea prevent your awareness of Love’s Presence. You have never been apart from Love, nor has Love ever abandoned your being.

Observe what the ego writes in the story, and step back. Not becoming entangled with false thoughts, you do not empower them, you don’t make them real. When you detach, you remove artillery from the ego system.

“Now you must learn that only infinite patience produces immediate effects. This is the way in
which time is exchanged for eternity. Infinite patience calls upon infinite love, and by producing results now it renders time unnecessary.”  T-5.VI.12.  [1st sentence Italics mine]

CliffsNotes for WB Lesson 91

My WB 91 “Cliffsnotes”

Faith goes to what you want and you instruct your mind accordingly.

Miracles are seen in light.
The body’s eyes do not perceive the light.
But I am not a body. What am I?

Ask this in honesty, and devote several minutes to allowing your mistaken thoughts to be corrected and their opposites to take their place. Try to experience the truth about yourself. Remember that all sense of weakness is associated with the belief you are a body, a belief that is mistaken and deserves no faith. Try to remove your faith from it, if only for a moment.

Rest in confidence, that your efforts are fully supported by the strength of God and all His Thoughts.

WB Lesson 87

I will there be light. There is no will but God’s.

What a relief to learn there is no will but God’s. “Only one will?” says the ego system, “Nonsense! Look at all the bodies in the world, how can that be one will?”

There is only one Mind, thus only one Will. I can give up the belief in a little separated mind, making a miserable parody of life. I can give up the idea that I created a self separate from my Source. Only one Mind, one Will means that what I perceive as “my will” is an error, a misperception that can be corrected if I so choose. I choose now to accept the Self that Love created.

My holy Self erases all mistakes, cleans my mind, purifies my thoughts. Regardless of where I seem to be in my dream, my holy Self is with me, guiding me, shining the light to show me the way and the truth. This is all I really want. In the light, I accept that I am safe, I am loved, I am home, one with my Creator always and forever.

What World Do I Want?

What do I want to be the truth?
 
I can not even imagine what oneness is like, how then can I decide that a world of separate ideas and forms gives me what I need or want? My Holy Self knows the truth and waits patiently for me to choose again. My Self knows I have not left Home nor attacked my Creator. It knows that I will finally grow tired of my toys as then no longer satisfy the little mind that made them.

My meaningless thoughts show me a meaningless world. Thoughts of separation show me the world I look upon, yet is meaningless. Only loving Thoughts are true.
This morning we read in the Course:

“You cannot see both worlds, for each of them involves a different kind of seeing, and depends on what you cherish.” T-13.VII.2.2

“You have been wrong about the world because you have misjudged yourself.” T-13.VII.5.

“To give this sad world over and exchange your errors for the peace of God is but your will. And Christ will always offer you the Will of God, in recognition that you share it with Him.” T-13.VII.6.6-7

“Everything the ego tells you that you need will hurt you.” T-13.VII.11.

“Only the Holy Spirit knows what you need.” T-13.VII.12.

“Leave, then, your needs to Him.” T-13.VII.13.
” The Holy Spirit leads me unto Christ, and where else would I go? What need have I but to awake in Him?” T-13.VII.14.2-3

WB Lesson 78

Let miracles replace all grievances.
Every judgment that I hold is a nail in the coffin the ego mind holds for me. Each judgment ensures the continuation of the insane thought system which I believe in. My judgments keep the separation going, the false identity its power, the pain and fear held tightly so that sinlessness can still be denied. This is what every judgment (grievance) offers me.

I have not been left alone without a plan for escape. I have a plan perfect in inception, guaranteed to succeed. When I follow the plan, H.S. simply shows me that what I thought happened had no effect, and did not happen at all. By looking past appearances, recognizing they are only shadow images on a screen, I will see with clarity the perfect love in everyone and everything.

God created me like HImself. There is no sin, no hate, no fear, no deception in God, so there is none in me. My sinlessness is guaranteed by God. Images I have dreamed up are meaningless, for they are not from Love. Do I really want to keep what hurts and frightens me? Is it not easier to let my monsters disappear in the light of love by letting go of what I think is true?
