WB Lesson 21

I am determined to see things differently.

Whatever I seem to be looking at it is always my meaning that I “see.” If I want to see it as it really is I must lay down my definition or interpretation. My meaning does not replace Loves meaning on anything. Thoughts based on separation do not have meaning. They are really nothing.

Being determined to see differently is my willingness to see with the eyes of Love or Christ Mind. This enables me to see beyond my projection to the Love that is everywhere. It is asking for correction of my distorted thoughts from the Mind of Love. Willingness becomes the healed mind. Thoughts without Love are meaningless, but it does not mean that I will not believe in them.

WB Lesson 12

“I am upset because I see a meaningless world.”
I think I see a hostile world, a greedy world, a sad world. I think I see a poor world, an impoverished world. But I am upset because I see a meaningless world.

Once more, I have given everything I see all the meaning it has for me. If I am willing to give up my meanings I will “see” the truth that Love has written for me. The images that I see are my thoughts. As I am willing to lay my thoughts down for just an instant, I will have a moment of truth and Love in place of fear. That memory will shine away the meaningless thoughts, the thought of separation that I chose before.

WB Lesson 10

This is what came to me during the practice of Lesson 10.


“My thoughts do not mean anything. This idea will help release me from all that I now believe.”

My thoughts of being a failure do not mean anything. My thoughts of not completing things do not mean anything. My thought of being weak do not mean anything. My thoughts of being unworthy do not mean anything. My thoughts of being useless do not mean anything. My thoughts of condemnation do not mean anything.

My thoughts only show me my misperceptions, they show me my false beliefs. They are a call for healing. ~~Do I choose to accept salvation/forgiveness for myself? Accepting forgiveness is my only function here. When I realize my thoughts are not valuable or valid, there will be no effort to let them go.

“I will not value what is valueless.” “I loose the world from all I thought it was.”
“My thoughts do not mean anything.” My thoughts are valueless. These thoughts hide my real thoughts from my awareness. The thoughts I share in Heaven are my real thoughts. Thoughts of Love are real thoughts. There is no thought but the Thought of God.

I had the idea of passing on a bread bowl to someone who enjoys bread making (after hearing that his bowl had been broken). I used to value that bread bowl, because it was part of my “history,” a connection with mother and her family. There was a part of me that valued the history of family and the value of making bread. Making bread made me “valuable” (worthy). Now I recognize that I put all the meaning on that bowl that it had for me.

My mind it preoccupied with past thoughts, my thoughts do not mean anything. The past is gone, it is selective memory, the past is nothing, it has no value. It has no meaning.

What Is the Word?

The Holy Self shared this with me recently:

What is the Word?

The Word is Love.

Love is All That Is.

Love is all that you are ~~ or have ever been. Love is whole and so must you be. Love is eternal and so must you be. Love is perfect and so are you. You are as Love created you.

If you believed this (accepted this) there would be no fear, no guilt and no separation fantasy.

You have played the story over and over in your mind, that it seemed to be fact. It remains a story and nothing more. There is nor was a separation; there never was a separate thought, a separate mind or will apart from God. Your Holy Self remembers what is true.   

Go inward, in stillness listen to the Voice for Love that is your Self. Release the weight of guilt you laid upon yourself. For none of what you saw or heard or did in your fantasy has ever changed the Love that you Are.
You love your Father and your Father loves you. So It Is.

What Is God’s Will For Me?

These thoughts came to mind recently.

What is God’s Will for me?
God’s Will is that I extend love to all without interruption, as He extends love without exclusion. In reality that is all that I can do.

Thoughts of judgment, lack, guilt all stem from an unreal thought. When I cease thinking that I know anything, when I stop giving meaning to anything in my dream, I will know peace. When I cease to value the world of differences then I will see Oneness and know Love is all there is

Let every voice but God’s be still in me.
