Gentle Healing Journal Lesson 77 1-11-19

LESSON 77
I am entitled to miracles.

“You are entitled to miracles because of what you are. You will receive miracles because of what God is. And you will offer miracles because you are one with God. Again, how simple is salvation! It is merely a statement of your true Identity. It is this that we will celebrate today.”

What makes this a special day of miracles is my acceptance that miracles are my right and so I am going to ask with confidence expecting the miracle. I must say that I am a little confused about what I am supposed to ask for.  I have a power ball ticket sitting beside me. It would take a miracle to win this. But is this the kind of thing I should ask for?

How about if I ask that my mind be completely healed of the belief that I have any needs that will not be met. Then I would not have to win a large sum of money and have lots in the bank to fall back on. If my mind were healed of the belief in lack, I would be absolutely confident in what I need showing up when I need it. I have always thought that the miracle is the healing of the mind and that what shows up as form in the world is just witness to the miracle.

“You have been promised full release from the world you made.”

This is the clue I need to understand this lesson. I haven’t bought a lottery ticket in years and did so only because I was caught up in the excitement of the billion dollar payoff for the Mega Millions. I didn’t win that, by the way. But having bought one, I wondered what I would do if I did win or even if I won the lesser prize of a million.

What I discovered is that I wouldn’t do much because I don’t have many needs, certainly, I don’t have a billion dollars worth. I also discovered that it made me tired to think of the responsibility of having that much money and the potential distractions from what really matters to me. That would not be the promised full release from the world I made. But what would be helpful is to ask for the miracle of a mind completely free of the belief that I might not have enough. Not enough is the ego mantra.

The ego says I haven’t lost enough weight. I don’t have enough money. I don’t have enough friends. I don’t have enough love and I am not loveable enough. I am not enough. It doesn’t matter what form it takes, in the ego mind there is never enough. This cannot be true because to be true, either God, as my Creator, would have to be not enough, or, the ego, which is the idea of not enough, would have to be my creator. Neither of those possibilities is true. The miracle will heal my mind of any false belief about my identity if I ask for it and I do ask.

“I am entitled to miracles.”

“Ask for them whenever a situation arises in which they are called for. You will recognize these situations. And since you are not relying on yourself to find the miracle, you are fully entitled to receive it whenever you ask.”

So today, I will pause for a miracle. I will notice those times when my mind strays to ego thinking, and I will remember that I am entitled to miracles. I will ask with confidence for the change of mind that will bring me peace. I will pay attention to my feelings because they are like smoke to fire. If I feel restricted in any way that is the smoke that tells me there is a fire in my mind that is burning away my happiness. I will ask what this is really about and then I will ask for the perfect miracle and I will be certain that I will receive it.

Regina’s Tips
Don’t decide what this means. Ask God to show you. Be like a little child that cannot find her own way, but willingly, openly and trustingly takes her parent’s hand and lets it guide her into realization.

“There is no room for doubt and uncertainty today.” – Put the mind aside. Put your illusions about yourself and about God aside. Be innocent, trusting and curious.

“We are asking a real question at last.” – What am I? What is God/truth? What is a miracle? Show me, that I may know.

My Thoughts
I appreciate this from Regina. If I use my thinking mind to decide what I am, what God is and what miracles are, I will not know anything. I am reminded of Lesson 15 which says “the thoughts you think you think.” We don’t even really think. How is it we will discover anything of importance by thinking about it. What will work is to be still and let our questions be answered for us.
