Thoughts From WB 8

What would it be like to wholly surrender the idea of differences/ that I know what anything is for?
WB 8: No one really sees anything, he only sees his thoughts projected outward. this process is not thinking and needs to be recognized as a block to truth; thoughtless ideas preoccupy my mind. My mind is preoccupied with illusory ideas of egoic meaning. My thoughts do mean anything.
If I wholly surrendered the ideas that I know anything I would simply Be. I would be peace.

This whole physical dream experience was made so that I might learn of Love. The sliver of fear that seems to control the mind is maintaining its existence. It uses the opposite of “health” to deny that Love is real, that I Am is part of Love, that I have not ever changed Reality and I remain as Love created me.

This computer program that I made and put into the mind does not have to play out to its conceptual end. This program can be changed as Love is brought in. The purpose that H.S. uses this illness for is the only real purpose it has.

The egoic logic would tell me that this program is all or nothing; that I have to take it or have nothing. I choose to have Spirit take the program, making it a tool for communion and oneness. The program for sickness becomes the means for me to extend love—-to to practice letting go. I have no control, no plan that can suffice for love. This illness can lead me back to Love as I let Him teach me.

Thoughts From the 2nd Six days of New Year

Peace cannot depart form me any more than it could depart from God. I hold a home for peace and will not deny its true place in my mind-heart. The egoic piece does not want peace for with peace is understanding and I would understand the false idea that it is. The ego maintains its ‘life’ or energy by confusion, conflict and lies. Do I really want to follow its teaching, since it has brought nothing to me?

I see only the past.

The purpose of this Course/curriculum is to help me remember who/what I am. To relinquish the fear that seems to surround the truth. I have made my self fearful attempting to teach my self.
H.S.’s purpose is only to take me to truth, and He does not bring more fear.

If I see only the past I am not seeing what is now, present. This is what Love would correct. As long as I think there is something here to see, then I will see it, though is is illusions. Do I want to keep seeing separation? Or do I let a healed perception take the place of my misplaced value? Love would show me that only what is whole is real or meaningful. The dream of separate parts is only a mistaken idea and never had cause. What is without cause does not exist. There is nothing that can threaten the eternal continuity of Love.

Love always expands and never contracts or excludes. Love always extends.
There is nothing in the dream that can faintly imitate the experience of Love that is perfect, complete, whole.

If I see only the past, I am making an insane choice of seeing something that is not here or seems to be elsewhere. If I am willing I allow a new sight to come to me, a sight of Light, understanding, for giving truth its rightful place. Am I willing to look past appearances?

Morning Insight

IF I fear waking to truth, then it will be delayed because Spirit does not compound fear. As I practice taking my fear thoughts to Spirit for correction, the Love of All That Is melts the barriers to peace, joy and Oneness.

So it is helpful to be willing to be vigilant not to let the little scraps of fear go by unnoticed for there is no difference in size or amount or depth of fear. It is all the same egoic thought.

I will be healed—made whole—as I let Him teach me to make whole—see only innocence.

From WB Lesson 191 & 77

I was guided to 2 places this morning, the first day of 2012. This was during another unplanned stay at the hospital for exacerbation of weakness from lupus.

I am the holy son of God Himself. I cannot suffer, cannot be in pain; I cannot suffer loss, nor fail to do all salvation asks.

(77) I am entitled to miracles.  I want only what belongs to me. Miracles are my right. My claim to miracles is inherent in the truth of what I am. It is implicit in what God your Father is. It was insured in your creation, and guaranteed by the laws of God.  A miracle looks on devastation and reminds the mind that what it sees is false. A miracle is a correction. Forgiveness is the home of miracles.

T.4.IV.7 When you actively refuse to let your mind slip away from engaging with God and His creations the habit is easily made. The problem is not one of concentration; it is the belief that no one, including yourself is worth the consistent effort. Side with the H.S. consistently against this deception [right use of denial] and do not let this shabby belief pull you back [in illusion]. Only the ego can be disheartened.

Spirit: Do not think that you can change the Mind of Love or you believe you have tore a piece of Heaven away from Itself. Mind cannot be fragmented, nothing Real can be threatened. The mind that abides in Love is at peace, forever whole, forever loving and being loved. The Light in such a mind can shine into other minds to reflect the truth in them and help the seeming differences (fears) melt away.
Dear Child, this is but a lesson in choosing again. The step you take to let go of fear—the choices that have brought you here can all be released when you accept that you made the choice and that you no longer want that decision’s outcome. Be glad that you were wrong, and that you can choose again.

Grieving the Past

If I grieve over my past mistakes, I am keeping them and making them real. While I hold onto them they are not released, and I will not know that they are nothing. Only when I release my hold do I receive the miracle that what I thought was true was never done. In letting go do I receive what Love gives without restraint.

I must be willing to let go of what I think I know, for I have taught myself wrongly. If what I learned by myself is wrong can any part of it be true? The false can never be partly correct. I can think that something that is false can be otherwise but this will never change the truth. Since I have confused myself with what is false can be true, I need a Guide or Teacher to show me my mistakes. I am willing to let go what I think I know and be reminded that what I see is not the truth. Therefore, I am willing to have my perceptions or thoughts be corrected.

What I seek for is only what has been given me and is already mine. To know that I have it, I must give it freely. Only the truth is true, there are no exceptions. It is my will to see innocence everywhere.

My Little Gift

A mind made insane with guilt, will see a meaningless world. Meaning lies only in truth, the insane do not know truth, believing in the false. Because the body’s eyes were made to see the meaningless or false, I must ask Holy Spirit to “see” and interpret all I think I see. Whenever I think I know, I have shut out H.S.’s interpretation and will be mistaken in my perception. I am willing to see His meaning in everything. I give Him all decisions (my little gift) and let Him decide for me; then I will be happy.

I Am Responsible For What I See

There is no uphill battle, that is a lie. All the things I think about this world are fabrications to defend against Love. As I made these images or ideas, I can let them go. Nothing is “done” to me without my choice. Do I choose for Love or for separation?

Following ideas are found in ACIM T.21.II.

I am responsible for what I see. I choose the feelings I experience, and I decide upon the goal I would achieve. and everything that seems to happen to me I ask for, and receive as I have asked.
Acknowledge that you have been mistaken, and all effects of your mistakes will disappear.

Suffer, and you decided separation was your goal. Be happy, and you gave the power of decision to Him Who must decide for God for you. This is the little gift you offer to the Holy Spirit, and even this He gives to you to give yourself.

You must perceive that What is strong enough to make a world [in thought] can let it go, and can accept correction if it is willing to see that it was wrong. The world you see is only the idle witness that you [egoic mind] were right.

Look closer at what the offering is, and simply see in the little gift the whole exchange of separation for salvation. All that the ego is, is an idea that is is possible that things could happen to the Son of God without his will; and thus without the Will of his Creator, Whose Will cannot be separate from his own. For if you think the world you made has power to make you what it wills, you are confusing Son and Father, effect and Source.
