Grandeur vs Grandiosity
Grandeur is of God and equally shared. Grandiosity is the belief in littleness. If the mind didn’t first believe in lack, it would not need the illusion of grandiosity to comfort itself. Grandiosity is a vehicle of pain because it is not shared.
The entire Sonship shares granduer equally and therefore it is of God and it is the truth. As I recognize the granduer that is my brother, I experience it myself because it is the truth of us both.
Grandiosity is always a cover for pain and therefore always a call for Love, no matter what the apperance. The Son’s true and only desire is for a recognition of the truth of who He is in all of His granduer. Amen.
Sacrifice
Everything that I think by myself is a sacrifice is really Spirit trying to set me free.
Do I keep my dark thoughts to myself and not surrender them for healing because I believe it will be a sacrifice to admit I am having them? Do I believe that it is weakness to expose hurt, pain or anxiety?
Jesus is teaching us that the truth is quite the opposite. Everything that I am believing is a sacrifice is for me to heal.
I once believed that the end of my marriage would be a huge sacrifice. I cried I was so afraid of so many things. Spirit was trying to set me free from my thoughts of dependence on an ego and make me God dependent. This was no sacrifice.
When I am at home and one of the many people I live with want my attention, I see the thoughts of sacrificing my time (again), going through my mind. This is no sacrifice. It is all for me — a chance to have a peaceful healing encounter with my Brother.
Having a venue for an ACIM group given and taken away in one swoop. No sacrifice. I was able to receive forgiveness within ten minutes of the conversation and move on to having a wonderful day — a powerful opportunity, a gift.
There is no sacrifice. Only my belief in it can jerk my mind around.
Forgiveness Prayer
Oh Father, I have made myself
weary in feverish dreams.
May your healing balm of Love
wash over me at this moment.
Thank you Father for this
moment of rest.
Thank you Father for this
cleansing of my mind.
Thank you Father for this
gentle rest in Heaven. Amen
