It’s All a Dream

It’s all a dream (this life) so what does it matter?

It “matters” only to show me what is in my mind. For the ego system sorely tells me that all is outside me and can therefore affect me. It does not condone the thought that ideas leave not their source. It wants me to defend against the cruel, uncaring world, thus ensuring that I do not escape from guilt and insanity.

Yet I am learning to listen to another Teacher Who knows the truth and would teach me all that He knows. In the idea of separation there is pain and guilt, which gets projected outward making up the world the body’s eyes “see.” With my willingness, my holy Teacher shows me the truth beyond the images the sick mind has made up. He teaches me how to let go of the false and receive what has been given me and was never lost or stolen. With willingness to lay aside my past choices I am led the way of Love.

My wholeness remains intact, unblemished, shining in the Light of Love. My holiness is shining in me now.

Folly of Pretense

I just finished re-reading “Her Fearful Symmetry.” To me, it’s about the folly of thinking you know what you want. Or what makes you happy.

I guess there’s that part of my mind that doesn’t want to give up the idea that it can know and decide what it wants. It wants to keep “trying” till it finds that happy thing. It searches for what it is and has already in reality.

The folly of pretending to be something you’re not. I’m pretending to separate from my source, so I made up a world and a body that I could hide in, for attacking my Creator (Father). A definition of folly: •lack of good sense; foolishness; • a foolish act, idea, or practice. When I am foolish, it does not make me sinful, only in need of assistance or correction. But I need to ask for help!
Salvation lies in the fact that all my pretending has not changed me or Love one iota.

“Why do I insist on hating my self and punishing myself?”

“You are merely asked to take small steps to ask for Help more increasingly so that true emotional healing can begin.”

“First, realize that if you are ill you have somehow asked for its form to help you return to Love. The dark emotions you are repressing are what make you physically ill.”

“It [the body] is your idea of some form of replacement for love. It cannot last, for it is not love, but a shabby deception to keep you from the real experience of Love God has always kept for you.”

Quotations from “The Book On .... and Jesus Answers” by Joel Wright,©2009.

Dreaming a Little Dream

I had a dream recently that repeated itself, similar to “Groundhog Day.” Sometimes the characters played different roles. When I realized the story was repeating, I chose to be observant, stepping back from the role I was in. I then found I could place myself where I wanted to be before the sequence began again. that way I did not have to be in the role of victim or of condemner. Most times I was self concerned with my comfort, other times I just wanted to to be the observer and not play an active part. Towards the end I was compassionate of the other “actors” for most of them knew they were playing a role but had no idea of how to stop playing.

My impression is, that I chose this role (in this life) that I am playing. It is a repetition so that I can choose differently this time.  ”Trials are but lessons that you failed to learn presented once again, so where you made a faulty choice before you now can make a better one, and thus escape all pain that what you chose before has brought to you. In every difficulty, all distress, and each perplexity Christ calls to you and gently says, “My brother, choose again.” He would not leave one source of pain unhealed, nor any image left to veil the truth.”  T-31.VIII.3,1-3

I can stop playing the role of victim. I can be compassionate and gentle. I can give up the judging, which only keeps the illusions in place. I can love myself instead of attacking myself. That is what this “school house” is for.

Dear lord, help me to remember my only purpose here. My true desire is to wake from the dream I made; to accept the Love I am and everyone is. I surrender my thoughts of separation and accept wholeness instead. Thank You very much. Amen.

WB Lesson 229

WB Lesson 229
Love, which created me, is what I am.

Father, my thanks to You for what I am; for keeping my Identity untouched and sinless, in the midst of all the thoughts of sin my foolish mind made up. And thanks to You for saving me from them. Amen.

Only the thought that something could be different from what it was has given me insanity. Mind is one, it cannot be split but seems to be divided because it hears 2 voices. One Voice speaks for Love, Unity and wholeness, the other has no meaning and speaks for nothing. It is not real.

WB Lesson 214 Thoughts

I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.
I place the future in the Hands of God. —What God gives can only be for good. And I accept only what He gives as what belongs to me.

When I place the future in the Hands of God, that means I can hold no concerns about the future. I choose to stay in the present moment, recognizing there is no past and no future. Staying in the present moment is surrendering control of my daily doings.

My plans for safety or protection have not truly helped me. I give up these plans when I place the future in the Hands of God. I surrender what I think I know. I ask my Inner Guide, my personal Planner to make all decisions for me. As I learn to surrender the false thoughts, my personal Planner holds the truth for me. It knows my true and only desire is to wake from the dream and be at Home.
