V. The Sane Curriculum, P 9
9 Your learning potential, properly understood, is limitless because it will lead you to God. You can teach the way to Him and learn it, if you follow the Teacher Who knows the way to Him and understands His curriculum for learning it. The curriculum is totally unambiguous, because the goal is not divided and the means and the end are in complete accord. You need offer only undivided attention. Everything else will be given you. For you really want to learn aright, and nothing can oppose the decision of God’s Son. His learning is as unlimited as he is.

Journal
Of myself I can do nothing, but I am not of myself. I am of God and I have His Voice to lead me out of this interesting and awful story. I can teach as I learn and learn as I teach as long as I use my Guide, listen to His Voice and give Him my thoughts to be purified, corrected and sometimes just removed. There is no limit to my potential and I will follow my teacher to God.

I know this is true. I know the ego mind is a confused jumble of untrue thoughts. I know I am rapidly loosing interest in what it thinks it knows. I am very good at being vigilant for my thoughts, and always sooner rather than later, I will ask for healing. What is there left for me to do? I see a couple of ideas that I still need to practice.

I know that it is absolutely necessary that I have only one goal. As long as there are two goals in my mind, I am maintaining the split that is the ego. I know this but I still need to practice it. It is entirely too easy for me to pick up another goal and believe it is important, maybe even necessary. So this is something the Holy Spirit is helping me to be vigilant for. As soon as I see I have done this, I change my mind. This is my practice.

The other idea that needs my practice is that I divide my attention. I still listen to the ego sometimes rather than Spirit. Again, this is something that I am willing to let go. It seems harder for some reason. The ego mind chatters incessantly and eventually it chatters on about something that interests me. But I am learning to disregard it.

What seems to be helping me in this is to relax and allow and trust. I relax around my errors, I allow them to be healed and I trust that I am doing this and will succeed in spite of what are sometimes appearances to the contrary. Sometimes I want to question the Holy Spirit as to why I am not given more help.

The reason for this lack of trust is because I get constricted around my seeming failures and start to believe in them more than I believe in my Self. When this happens I realize that I am not being singular in my teacher or my goal. I relax again, quiet my mind, and wait for the comfort and the guidance that always comes.
