WB 98 Cliff’s Notes

I will accept my part in God’s plan for salvation.

All our/my sins are washed away by realizing they were only mistakes. The guiltless have no fear, for they are safe and recognize their safety.

He (H.S.) will give the words you use in today’s practice the deep conviction and certainty you lack.
I will accept my part in God’s plan for salvation. Give Him the words and He will do the rest.

We/I side with truth and not illusions. We/I have a mighty purpose to fulfill, and have been given everything we/I need to reach our/my goal. Not one illusion stands in our/my way, for we/I have been absolved from all errors.

He will: enable you to understand your special function; open up the way to happiness, and peace & trust are His gifts; respond with 100% faith, joy and certainty that what you say is true; be with you each practice period, exchanging every instant of time you offer Him for timelessness and peace.  And you will have the conviction from Him Who knows the function you have on earth as well as Heaven.

Is it not worth five minutes of your time: to be able to accept the happiness God has given you; to recognize your special function here; but a small request to gain a reward that has no measure?

Practice Listening

Recently I received this simple truth from my Inner Teacher.

Spirit:  You are forgiven because you are completely innocent.

The ego does not know this and would not have you learn it. You must consistently practice listening to the Teacher who does not come from the thought system of the world. Only from this Teacher/Guide do you learn and remember the truth.

Problem and Answer

Spirit:  In this world there seem to be insurmountable problems. And they shift and change as illusion is added to illusion. Every illusion was made to keep truth out of your awareness. Everyone accepts what they want to be the truth. And they reject what would contradict their belief.

Are you satisfied with the outcome of your beliefs? Have they made you happy? Do you enjoy peace of mind? If not, would it not benefit you to question what you so willingly accept as being true? It is not reason enough to choose it because that has been your choice before. The outcome of your past choices has kept the idea of separation intact, making resolution seem impossible.
....God has placed the answer together with the problem, so they cannot be separated by time. WB 90.3,5.

It is up to you to ask to see things differently, that a (new) thought that reflects the truth can replace the thought of error. In this way, you choose to release what is not there and give welcome to healed perception. This will bring you results that are wholly beneficent to everyone, including yourself. This will bring you happiness and peace of mind.

Choosing the Goal In Advance

Recently these thoughts were brought to my awareness.

Stop attacking the body for what it did not do.

The body is a wholly neutral thing—whose purpose do I use it for? Do I use it for love or for illusion? What is in my mind will be extended or projected, it is always one or the other. Am I extending love or projecting fear? What am I choosing right now?

If I am sad, I have chosen fear, the false image that I have made. This is a mistake which only needs correction, yet I must give it to the One whose only function is correction, I cannot correct it myself. In this line of “thinking” I am simply following a pattern that is worn, shabby and not fruitful. This is where I must be willing to choose again. Will I relinquish the meaningless thoughts that I made, so that reality can take their place?

What do I want to come of this day or this lesson? I must set the goal first.

The value of deciding in advance what you want to happen is simply that you will perceive the situation as a means to make it happen. You will therefore make every effort to overlook what interferes with the accomplishment of your objective, and concentrate on everything that helps you meet it. T.17.VI.

Giving In Any Moment

Looking at insights and messages from my Inner Teacher from other times, I am led to share this.

Spirit: When you feel “miserable enough” then you are willing to listen. Is this not the truth about your willingness? It is when you finally concede that you do not know, that you are willing to drop your wishes and listen to Love.

You said that you felt disconnected from Love, that you lost the sense of carrying out a plan that Spirit has for you. You wondered how and where you could ”give” next? Well, my Child, you can give in any moment. It is not in the physical form of giving that your answer lies. It is in giving compassion and non-judgment that you truly give. In laying down all judgments that you are freed. Give in each moment by letting go of what you think you know.

What you thought you knew (your past) was never true. What you think may come (your future) never will be true. There is this Now moment that you can accept, and that is all there is.

You believe that your experience has “made” you what you are. But it is really your beliefs that have projected outward that “makes” you. It is all beliefs.
Because beliefs are in the mind, that is where you can achieve everything, for you can change your thoughts with H. Spirit’s help, so you can change what you believe.

Your poor beliefs have said that you are: small, weak, shy, helpless, tired, sick, vulnerable. Poor beliefs have said that you are indecisive, insecure, stupid, undisciplined, ignorant, passive, stubborn. Now you have the choice of keeping all these beliefs or letting them go in place of truth. You have always had choice but been totally asleep to the power that your choice entails.

Wherever you search for your answers or your happiness in the world you will simply be disappointed. Learning to look within and to access the wisdom of your True Spirit is all you need to do. You are on the difficult adjustment period of really letting go of all you think is valuable. It will not last, you do come out the “other side,” especially when you experience more of the joy that comes with aligning with Love. You do want to be happy and by allowing Spirit to give you what is true for your happiness, you will relinquish the false images that do not bring happiness.
