Forgiving the Dream

I had the opportunity to hear Jon Mundy speak on Saturday at Pathways of Light. I am glad that I attended. Hearing one speak of the Truth, helps me want to remember the truth myself; to give up the silly games I play of being an individual. And yet, to also forgive myself for
playing the game of separation, because God never condemned me the first place.

Forgiving myself is the reason I am “here” in a body. Forgiving myself is the freedom I receive
or recognize when I forgive someone in my dream. Forgiveness happens automatically when I realize that whatever seemed to happen, doesn’t matter. “What do you mean, it doesn’t matter?!?!” the ego screeches.

Does it matter what happens in a dream that you dream at night?
When you wake from any dream, be it pleasant or fear filled, you think: “oh, it was just a dream.” You think that is has no real effect in your life or on you.
Because I am the dreamer of my “world” I therefore set the props on the stage, I engage figures to act out the script I have written. And then I instantly forget that I am the producer and projector of this scene, or movie or soap opera. I have put every meaning to everything in this dream; I have chosen what is valuable and what is junk, what is treasure and what is trash. I have chosen who is worthy, lovable, innocent and who is hateful, unlovable, and guilty. And each plays their role accordingly. Each plays their role to perfection so that I may learn that only Love is real. That I may choose again and lay forgiveness on what I perceive. That I may seek Guidance from the One Who knows the Truth, and come to rest in His certainty.  And I surely learn that my dream or soap opera doesn’t matter, because Love sees only the love or the call for love in my dream plots.

What “matters” in my daily dream, is whether I choose to look with Spirit at the events and situations in my dream, or if I try to “fix” things on my own. Whether I accept the love that
Spirit brings forth or if I attempt to heal with the falsity of specialness.

I would rather be happy and accept the Love of Spirit, accept the grace that comes in forgiving. Then I know that what ever took place in my dream, doesn’t matter in eternity or Heaven. Heaven is where I really am, even though I pretend otherwise.

Old Ideas

The other morning I had a dream, of which I share the part I remembered and the insight that came to me from that.
part of Dream: I was at either class or retreat @ POL. I looked for soup that I had left there from an earlier weekend. I found it—-after heating some, I noticed that the broccoli in it was moldy, so I threw it out.
Symbolism: When ideas are old, they are not useful, no matter how “good” they were when first used. It is more helpful to throw them out and allow the new to replace the old.

Spirit: Dear Sara, all you “need do” is listen. You have doubts about what I ask you to do (write, speak, picture) the truth. You feel doubtful that you know what the truth is. It is simple. God’s Son is innocent and nothing has ever changed that truth.

The self that you have made does not like the truth, for it’s fear stories are undone in the light of Truth. It has nothing to attack if the Son is wholly innocent.

There is nothing that needs defense. When you attack, you try to deny perfect Love, that is the only reality of God’s Son. The illusion you have made will never satisfy you. What is real cannot be threatened. Your dream cannot threaten nor replace Love.

You can indeed do all that I ask of you…..because of What you are and Who created you. Your perfection comes not of this world nor delusions. Your true perfection is of God. There is no need to fear this nor anything. Your true Self is complete, whole, unassailable in any way—-yet your unloving thoughts are the blocks to your awareness of Love.  Your attention to the unloving thoughts appear to make them real. Your inner Teacher will show you that these thoughts are nothing, for what is not from Love cannot be real.

What no longer fits cannot be useful; what no longer is edible cannot be used or assimilated. Be wholly willing to question all that you thought was true. For what you thought was true never was at all. Dreams but symbolize what “you” wish to happen.

Sara, you are not ‘one’ light amongst a billion lights—-Light cannot be separate from it’s source. Light is continuous, expanding, inclusive. Light is not “seen” with physical eyes, but it’s effects can be seen. Light seen with inner eyes, the eyes of Love, can be known and accepted. When truth is accepted fear can no longer hold its grip on the mind. Fear of Love is relinquished.
Sara, you can never be without me. Recognize that any fear you feel is that from the little mind—-for it does fear (what it believes is) its own end.
I am here, always…..

Unnecessary Thoughts

After reading the Introduction to part II of ACIM Workbook, I had these thoughts come to me.

From WB Intro, ¶8:
“We have found the way He chose for us, and made the choice to follow it as He would Have us go. His Hand has held us up. His thoughts have lit the darkness of our minds. His Love has called to us unceasingly since time began.”
—-His Love heals all unnecessary thoughts.—-

I have many unnecessary thoughts—-their only “purpose” is to keep the ego “alive.” Unnecessary thoughts are meaningless; they bring delusion and deceit. Yet part of my mind declares that it is this that I want. Why choose to let this part rule my world when it only brings me conflict, confusion and pain? Why choose pain when I can have peace and joy? Only the belief that “I” deserve punishment and nothing else, brings the illusion of punishment.

His Love heals all unnecessary thoughts. The thoughts of fear are unnecessary to the Real Self. Unnecessary thoughts are fear thoughts—they come only from the belief in ego and from following ego. I can learn that such thoughts are really nothing.

In reality there is no conflict, I have only one goal. There is no confusion, I have one desire; there is no pain for all is Love. If I choose the opposite of Love, I delude my self and I am mistaken. My mistakes will be undone as I give them up and turn them over to H.S.

I Choose peace first, there I hear the Voice for Love. “The peace of God is my one goal; the aim of all my lliving here, the end I seek, my purpose and my function amd my life, while I abide where I am not at home.”
