Salvation Comes From Me

“My salvation comes from me.”
What does this mean to me?
This brings to mind all the plans I thought would give me salvation. Such as: being the ‘good’ child; getting away from home; becoming an artist; having an exclusive relationship; having sexual intercourse; being with the special teacher; being different from others; being independent. All my ‘plans’ have brought me nothing. The latest plan has been to be able to move about without restriction. All these sources have been concerned with the body, yet the body is only a learning device.  The source of salvation is in my mind—that is where God put it. the source of guilt is in my mind, never in the outside world where the ego insists it is.

Within the idea, my salvation comes from me, is the acceptance that guilt is only in my mind and forgiveness is there too. Holy Spirit is in my mind to show me what is true and what is illusion. My release from guilt is in accepting and forgiving the self made illusions. When I look with H. Spirit I can drop my idols and false perceptions of my self. I look at the images with H. Spirit, and am willing to give those thoughts to Him. He assures me that what I am letting go of, was never real and was never part of me. When I am willing, I feel the worries and fears leave my mind replaced with the Love that was always there. And I am thankful that I have such a Teacher with me always.

Review Lesson 115

I looked at my Workbook lessons for yesterday and today. (115 & 116). This is what caught my attention:       
2 My function here is to forgive the world for all the errors I have made. 3 For thus am I released from them with all the world.

My function here is to forgive the world for all the errors I have made. How good to know that what I have “done” are only errors. It is error in my thinking, for I have mistaken a silly thought as true. All the things that I think I have accomplished or things I seem to have failed to do, are just the same error. Am I willing to accept that my thinking is not correct? That thoughts without Love are meaningless? The ego hates to hear this, but my Spirit sings, “Yes, yes, YES!”

Dear H.S., help me to recognize ‘past’ thoughts, so I can give them to You. Remind me that thinking about the past has no benefit, it has no value, and is not true. Thank you for helping me forget the false to remember that only Love is real. amen.

Workbook Lesson 109

I am given the opportunity to be more “active” with the daily lessons, and record my thoughts about the lesson.

¶ 1.  And we have the thought that will answer our asking with what we request.
This tells me that I always have the answer, which God gave me. It is always within my mind, whether I am aware of it or not.

¶ 2.  Here is the the thought in which the Son of God is born again, to recognize himself.
If I use this idea repeatedly, I open to the truth. I come to accept that I am God’s Son, to remember my Father and His Son.

¶3.  Wow! I love this paragraph. It is so reassuring, so very loving. This idea lays down all the ego’s logic and resistance.

¶ 4.  When I choose to rest in God, I am choosing to have my mind healed. Being part of all minds, I am letting all minds rest in the Truth.

¶ 5.  No more fearful dreams will come, now that you rest in God. Take time today to slip away from dreams and into peace.
When I take the time to remember the truth, I give the gift that I have received. When I rest in God the truth replaces all the foolish thoughts of separation.

¶ 8.  You will be faithful to your trust today, forgetting no one, bringing everyone into the boundless circle of your peace, the holy sanctuary where you rest.
I am filled with gratitude that this is my purpose. I am grateful to share this gift, letting every mind be healed of the false ideas that only cause unrest.

I am so thankful for the gifts I am able to share as I remember the truth. If we rest in God, then how could we have ever left Him? When I rest in God, the ego is not there, there is no conflict; only one purpose, one goal. To awake in Him, knowing What He created was never divided. And so it is.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Nothing To Lose

Spirit gave this to me recently:

Dearest, there is nothing to fear~~~ this is so because there is nothing to lose!
The ego thought wants you to associate your life with this world by forms; that you need things to survive, for the body to use. You are not to feel guilt over this behavior, but become aware that Spirit can and does use everything you make for another purpose.

Remind your self often, that you do not know—what anything is for, nor what it means. Your decisions have been wrong. Be willing to let past decisions go. Be willing to be led by the One Who does know. He will never keep from you what He would have you learn. He teaches there is no loss and never was loss. So there can be no guilt, no fear.

Simply soften, relax and let go. Be aware of the thoughts that float through your mind and do not attach to them, do not give meaning to them. Let Spirit show you the meaning of everything and enjoy the peace and freedom this brings.
Remind your self there is no loss, there is nothing to lose.
