A New Way to See

I Bless the World

Hello Every Light of Oneness,

I had these insights come to me during Physical Therapy. (Note: TYVM, equals Thank You Very Much).

I have agreed with the ego system, to make up a form in which to hide (body).
I can stop valuing this image, idol. This image has only kept me bound to guilt, trying to make illusion real, trying to make separation real.

WB 207: “I Bless the would because I bless myself.”

“Gods blessing shines upon me from within my heart, where He abides. I need only turn to Him and every sorrow melts away, as I accept His boundless Love for me.”
The unforgiving mind (ego thought) is blind. Fear is its home, fear is all that it perceives. In its perception there is no mercy, no escape from condemnation. It lives in despair unable to see beyond guilt.
The unforgiving mind seeks solutions, but never finding its release from sin. It cannot find peace, joy or innocence while it believes that separation is real. It perceives only its projected thoughts —yet these thoughts are wholly meaningless. The only thoughts with meaning are the ones you share with Love. Loving thoughts are true.

T 9.IV. pg. 168
“Atonement [perfect Love] is for all, because it is the way to undo the belief that anything is for you alone. The Atonement is a lesson in sharing, which is given you because you have forgotten how to do it. HS merely reminds you of the natural use of your abilities.”

(Me) It seems to me that my friend is concerned with the financial issues (bills, taxes, costs of things we use) his little mind (and mine) is upholding the belief that he can be attacked and suffer loss. Perhaps this comes from the beliefs that the world is extravagant, over priced, filled with money grabbers—-those who establish enormous prices for selfish gain. Yet, it seems, he misses that he has made up those rules which govern the world. These demands for payment come from his own laws. There is no out side collection agency, no administration seeking to make him “poorer,” trying to take the little he thinks he has.
Holy Spirit, my perceptions are distorted. Please help me to see this differently—for the healing of my mind, is the healing of my brother’s mind. TYVM.
I send peace to my brother, that he and I accept the truth in place of illusion. Amen.

(10:15 p.m.) I want the peace of God. I accept the peace of God.
When I forgive (my illusions, my idols, my thoughts) then I am aware of God’s peace. That is the stillness within me that no thought can touch, no dark can corner (entrap).
Holy Spirit, help me to continue accepting my answers from Love. Let me not seek outside Love for solutions. Let me recognize the problem so it can be solved. Let me recognize the problem has been solved.  TYVM.

Another Chapter in the Story

Hello Every Light!

There has been a “gap” in my journal, as I began another chapter in my story of “Mary” playing on planet earth.
I have had many lessons, and opening to mind healing, which I am certain is just the beginning for me.

I seem to have begun this experience of Lupus and transverse myelitis, on July 16th, 2007. On Monday morning I couldn’t stand, I could not crawl. There was a constant tingling or buzzing from my feet up to my abdomen. Later it seemed to have crept up to just under the breasts. As I looked at my body’s “history” and at the symptoms of Lupus, I saw that I’d have had many of the signs over the years, but so sporadically, over a long span, that they could not be tied together.

I was not afraid that morning, I thought, “this is interesting.”
To me, I finely had reached the point of having had enough unhappiness (pain), so I chose this dream experience as a way to keep the ego occupied and allow space or time for me to stop all the “doing” and simply listen.
I had been asking for my mind to be healed, not sure how long or often I had asked for healing.

These are the words that Spirit gave me from date of 7/23/07: “You might call this a wake-up call. It is the accumulation of thoughts from guilt and fear of retribution. The mistaken perception that you could abandon Love and then Love would abandon you.”

“When you choose to let go of the fearful thoughts manufactured by an insane belief, then HS removes them. You have tried to unload guilt in whatever way the sick mind has offered you. You are understanding the senselessness of this. You can also understand that there is no guilt. You can and will let of the past learning (that the world deems “necessary”). You will let go of the past learning of your “own ” dream.
Your goal for the moment is to “see” the innocence and harmlessness of everything.

7/26/07: “I said before that you could call this experience a “wake-up call.”  It is a call for you to accept the Self that you are.
It is your willingness to change that has brought you here, for without this period of non-doing, you would not take the day to “study” the Course, to listen to the Voice of Love and to go within your mind.
This is a call to heal—- it is healing your mind that can save the world and your self.

“You did indeed choose this experience so that ego would be “disabled” in the physical form. You were willing to do this because you want your mind healed and are unwilling to delay your full acceptance of truth.
You have all that you “need” within your mind. Yet you have tried thousands of solutions, teachers and roads to fill your only need. Forgiveness in this world is the love that all minds in dreams seek. “Being Love” is forgiveness in this world. This is your desire to let go of the idols you made and let truth replace the dark.
(@ 3:00) I want you to accept that you are able to “hear” the Voice of Love without limit. You can hear this Voice regardless of what the body seems to do. This Voice speaks to you all the time waiting only your invitation. You have capacity to “hear” your Inner Voice, it has never dissolved. It is only your choice to listen that makes the Voice seem unreliable. Your attention is focused on the body for the moment. You can attend to the dream form, and still listen to the Voice of Love. ♥You will learn to be in the dream, but not of the dream.”

I have been reading Course Text, and Workbook, with Guidance. Then paraphrasing what stands out to me. This brings more and more clarity, more Love into my awareness.  On July 22, I woke with Course words flowing through my mind, and I came to realize that I was happy. “I am perfectly happy,” because I have no cause not to be; I am as God created me, and that must be perfect happiness.  I felt like laughing out loud! Laughing at the silliness of my little dream.

I have been told that my “job” for now, is to maintain my physical exercises each day, which is helpful in the dream world. I also know that my “job” is to be a messenger for Love, and to me, this means to communicate what I am learning or unlearning in my dream. New entries are on their way to this page!  Blessings to All. 😊

“God Is But Love” Review

Hello Everyone, after reading the daily lesson these thoughts came to me recently:

“God is but Love, and therefore so am I.”                                                                                          “There is one life and that I share with God…......Your grace is given me. I claim it now.”

What I gleem from in the “God is but Love, and therefore so am I” review, is that Jesus is trying to get us (me) to let go of the idea that God is vengeful and sure to give pain and death. God is not insane and cannot create unlike Himself. God is Love. Eternal, uncompromising, unalterable. There is no love but God’s. There is one Love and that I share with Him.

Insane ideas leave not their source.
My insane thoughts are in my mind, their reflection is everywhere I “look.” What I “see” are images I have made. Insane images are not real, I can play with them as long as I want. If my toys (images) were taken from me, I would not be free.

Spirit: Love has always been and will forever Be. You remain as Love created you. This will never change. Your “purpose” is to remember this—accept that you are Love as God created you—then you can share that idea because you know it cannot be lost or taken. That is your “job”—to show your brother that he is innocent. When you do not do this, you are depressed. You have forgotten What you Are and what your purpose is.

Somewhere In My Mind

Hello Everyone, I recently received these sentences from Spirit:

Somewhere in your mind there is the peace of God; there is the memory of Love and of Heaven.                                Yet you fear to look on the memory of truth. As long as you hold onto your false identity, you do not want that memory to return; you do not desire truth above all else. Even though you appear to be tired of the game of pretend, you still prefer it to the truth. As long as you believe that you merit punishment, that will be “real” to you. As long as you hold onto the false identity, you try to make guilt real.

Why would you want to change God’s Will? Do you really think that you can know better then the eternal Mind?…………. What you really think and keep hidden, is the belief that you departed from Love to be “on your own,” that you made an identity on your own. This is the story that you made and wish to be real. Yet this story tells you that you will not escape punishment, that only death is sure to come.  Why do you want this more than the Laws of Love?

Where there is fear there is not Love.                                                                                          Where there is Love there is not fear.

What I Think Is True, Is False

“We attack ourselves because the mind is sick.”

The mind that thinks it is separate is sick. Perhaps to be pitied, yet more laughable for its dreams.  Child of God—you will come to laugh at the dreams of mistaken beliefs. You will recognize their nothingness—and in that they gently fall away.
God is eternal (no end). Where God is, you must be. Where you are, God must be. God’s power does not end and your power begin.

The Thought of Love does not change nor can It’s Source be changed. You were created in Love, and AS Love. Only Love is real. Only Love can heal the mind that dreams of hell. What is unreal can be taken to the light—but it will never be made real.
For as long as “you” can remember you have lived in insanity. Insanity is hell, guilt is insane. What you believe you have done - can easily be undone because it has no truth. It is not real. Guilt is insane but you have mistaken guilt as a way of life. Guilt is the way of anti-life. What has been mad in a dream does not exist. Guilt is not real yet you believe otherwise. It is your beliefs that cause you pain.

 

The belief that attack can get you something that you want—was corrected long ago. To attack is to maintain guilt. To relinquish attack you must recognize it as what it is. Attack is a call for love, a call for help and healing. When you attack yourself, you are calling for love and healing. You can let go of your defense of the dream you made. A dream is not true. Attack is but a dream of lack. It is your call for help and healing. Be still…….. ask……... and accept.

 

Sara—What you think is true, is false.                                                                                          What you think is real, is hallucination.                                                                                          The thoughts that run and flood your mind—have grown from one insane thought. These thoughts are not “you.” The insane mind is not “you.”  “You are holy…..holy…..holy…..”

 

All attack is a call for Love. All your body concerns are calls for Love. All the world is for the healing of God’s Son. Why choose illusion (pain) when you can have joy instead?    You have decided that you are guilty and not worthy of joy. You deny the Love that created you.
When someone runs to greet you with joy, do you not join in and feel that joy? You cannot keep joy to yourself, neither can you make hell real. Only God creates and only like Himself.  God is not insane—would you make Him be?                          (God is sane, and therefore so am I.)

 

The egoic mind will judge anyone’s joy and analyze if that person has any reason to feel joy-filled. Do not wait for tomorrow to find joy. Accept joy now, today, this instant. Joy is your inheritance; it is an attribute of love.

A Harmless Changing Dream

Hello Everyone!
I copied sentences that stood out for me, from Lesson 165: “Let not my mind deny the Thought of God.” They are in paragraphs 2,4,7 &8.
“The Thought of God protects you, cares for you, makes soft your resting place and smooth your way, lighting your mind with happiness and love. Eternity and everlasting life shine in your mind because the Thought of God has left you not, and still abides in you.”

“Deny not Heaven. It is yours today, only for the asking. Nor need you perceive how great the gift, how changed your mind will be before it comes to you. Ask to receive, and it is given you. Conviction lies within it. Till you welcome it as yours, uncertainty remains. Yet God is fair. Sureness is not required to receive what only your acceptance can bestow.”

“Your doubts are meaningless, for God is certain. And the Thought of Him is never absent. Sureness must abide within you who are host to Him.  “We count on God, not upon our selves, to give us certainty. And in His Name we practice as His Word directs we do. His sureness lies beyond our every doubt. His Love remains beyond our every fear. The Thought of Him is still beyond all dreams and in our minds, according to His Will.”  (Italics are mine)

I was open to todays lesson—and am grateful for it. The truth needs constant repetition in my mind, as I have misplaced the truth with all my dreaming. And as Jesus says: “this need not be.”

Spirit: The mind that thinks that it is alone, cannot know—- and cannot judge. Remember this, and realize that you are not alone, so you cannot think alone. You remain as the Thought of God created you. If you remembered always that the Thought of God is your life, how joyous would you feel!!     
You would have no doubts, no fears, no expectations. You would accept wholly that you are Where God intended you to be; you would recognize Heaven everywhere, everyone as part of yourself.

Think of all the “changes” in the world, or in your life. Changes in “nature”—the weather, the climate, the soil, the water, plants, animals. These changes—that have been programed by the delusional mind—make witness to differences. Justifying differences makes it seem plausible that no other person can be like you. And if you are like no one else, then how can you be ‘one’ with anything?    Whereas if you let Holy Spirit show you that changes only reflect the unreal, and the unreal cannot change reality, you will no longer be concerned with changes in the outer world or your life. You can walk in the dream and be the bringer of hope, compassion and Light. You can detach from the dream, seeing with Christ’s eyes the Love that shines in everything.

Sara, you are the gift to the world. You are God’s gift to Himself. Love only can extend love. Love is unfathomable to the mind that has chosen to forget. When you choose again and listen to the Voice for Love, then you have chosen to remember what is forever true. When you choose to have a happy day, then you have chosen for Love, chosen for God. When you deny the voice of the ego system, you are choosing truth, reality or Heaven. 

Learn to deny that shrieking voice in anything it offers; remember that is is false and it cannot know what anything is for. None of it’s world is true, yet you can learn to see the world as harmless.     
See the world as a harmless, changing dream, and bit by bit the ego system will disappear.

Truth Is Simple

Hello Everyone!  This is the message I received today:

You are perfect love. You are perfect love.
The body is not real.
The body’s pains are not real.
These are mistaken thoughts, that reflect the belief that sin is real.  Sin is not real.

The body seems very real and the world in which it “lives” as well. What seems real—- has nothing at all to do with reality. What seems real is but a wish, played out, projected from a mind that is insane (without reason—without H.S.). The illusions that you “see” are not there. You try and try again to find peace, love and joy in the illusions of your making. And beneath all these false ideas, is the belief you are guilty, guilty, guilty. This idea is false too, because you never left your Source—- you could not live or be at all, apart from your true Source.

This world with all it’s seeming differences, is far from reality. In fact, it is the complete opposite. The unreal cannot be made into truth. The thoughts of which you are aware, are not your real thoughts. Real thoughts have no limits and are shared. Unloving thoughts leave not the mind of their maker. It is these thoughts that hurt you and would benefit you only if you give them up. These thoughts you do not want and Holy Spirit knows what to do with them. Accept happiness now by accepting the truth as it is. Truth is simple, complexity is from the ego. While you mistake your Self for a body, the truth will be fearful and not welcome to you. Still, what is fearful you can give wholly to Holy Spirit and He corrects it. He can use what you made from fear and transform it for the release from guilt. All this He does with perfect certainty because His trust is perfect and His knowing comes from Love.
