Simply A Temptation

Everything in this world is simply the temptation to believe that I’m separate from God/Love; to think that “I” can be something different from what Love created me to be.

Holy Spirit: It is impossible that God would not love you. You have not ever done anything that would make God turn away from you. You are His Son and this will never change. You remain only and always as He created you.

In the dream it appears you have done many things, lived may lives, made many transgressions. Yet what is in a dream is only imagined, it is never truth. A mistaken thought would condemn you over and over, again and again, for that is how the thought maintains its existence.
Repetition does not make it true. When you are willing to see differently all that is false will merely fall away. What has no value or meaning is quietly dropped or laid aside.</em>

What Is my Choice?

These thoughts came to mind this morning:

(me) Love leads the way. When I am not following Love, I will not be happy. When I choose peace, Love is naturally there; I have made “room” (in my mind) for Love. (Love waits on welcome.)
I can imagine thousands of ways that Love is not here, but imaging (image making) is not the truth. The stories I make up never change the truth or can alter Reality in any way. Why choose pain in place of joy? Why choose separation in place of Heaven?
My treasures do not lie in a dream world and will never be found there. This world is not my home. (I will be still an instant and go Home.)

Holy Self: If you do not recognize your treasure it is only because you do not want to see it. For if you did you would not delay in returning Home. So the ego system will not tolerate peace, happiness or a quiet mind. Remember that this system has no actual power over you, only your choice makes it appear viable and strong. Therefore, you can choose not to listen to it and ignore the witnesses it sends to follow its methods.

You cannot make or change truth, nor have you forgotten truth entirely. You cannot add truth to illusion—the attempt to make illusions “better.” You can take illusions to truth and let the false or meaningless be undone. In this way, you let of go of what never happened. Let this be your practice. Nothing that you have made will delight you as much as the truth shining in your mind.

Exercise For Reinterpretation

What do I feel right now?  ~~regret, sadness, like I’ve lost something that I’ll never get back.      (allowing peace to enter)

Spirit:  The Holy Spirit looks at the stories you have made up and knows they are not true. He would have you know of your wholeness, magnitude, and glory because you are as Love created you. He would help you remember truth; that you never denied your Creator (Love), that you never left your Source, there is no cause for guilt, pain or penance.

In this life, you felt ashamed as if you had done something wrong. Yet nothing happened for in the reality of Love there is only Oneness and there is no division. In the sick mind there is a dream of separation, of leaving Love, of being “outside” and alone. Dreams are not real. Mistaken thoughts that show an unreal life call only for correction or healing. It is only sick thoughts that need healing. As you learn mistaken ideas are never real, as you allow truth to return or the veil of false ideas to be lifted, you know the Love that created you and is what you are.

Since you thought you put yourself outside of Love, you must practice repeatedly of “returning” to Love, until the happy realization there never was an inside or outside, there is only Love.

Teacher of Wrongness

These thoughts were given me recently:

The ego system is always wrong. It always, always find something wrong with whatever is outside itself. If the teacher always find the “wrong,” can the student ever learn or succeed?  How can anyone know happiness if they follow the teacher of wrongness?

Dear child, if you would understand/accept that you have a Teacher that see only the truth and always leads away from fear/darkness, you would know happiness. You would accept your beingness is joy. If you are an extension of Love (and you ARE) then your Being is joy and peace. You cannot and have not changed God or His Thought or Creation. You remain as God created you.

So if you are not happy you have chosen the wrong teacher. If you do not like your experience, choose the Teacher of Oneness to teach you that division is impossible. Welcome the Truth in you and value nothing else. Remember that the ego system always looks and finds what is wrong, so that it can justify attack and subsequently can keep guilt going.

Learn that everything has a perfect outcome. Learn that you are supported by a system that is beyond your wildest imaginings. Love leaves no one behind. Love holds all in perfect wholeness and complete innocence.
All that Love created or shared has never been altered, changed or corrupted. Love’s creation is endless; infinite and complete. And you ARE as Love created you, like Itself. Therefore, nothing can harm you, deplete you, or change you from what Love created.

Pretending That I Am Alone

Considering how I have spent time the last few years, I looked within and found these thoughts.

So, “I” feel lost, deprived because I cannot move the body with ease and freedom. I have given up the idea/hope that I will once again have freedom to move unimpeded. When I held that idea before it eventually became manifest, but now I am allowing my past experience to dictate the present state. I’m accepting the experience of others (doctors, researchers) as the “proof” that the body’s condition will not change for the better.

What I did not perceive at the beginning with the first occurrence, was that I did not look for the false attack thought underlying the outward appearance. The attack thought(s) were not corrected, so my false witnesses could rise again and show me that what I thought “I knew” was only fallacy. The thought system that has made this dream and it’s manifestation is upheld by a “friend” that is insane.

My only purpose now is to uncover the false thought(s) that can be corrected or undone. To be willing to look at my isolation/separation thinking that has made my dream so real to me. These are not the thoughts I need or want. In the light that Love holds, these thoughts are seen to be meaningless. The “friend” does not want me to recognize the meaningless origin of those sick thoughts. So I must seek the council of my true Friend and accept His help in leading me out of the maze of insane thoughts. Trying to find the way by myself has not worked, nor will it ever succeed.

Thinking that I am alone is the problem; that is the separation thought system. To realize and then accept that I’m never alone is the forgiving of my illusions, the letting go of meaningless thoughts. My Friend, Guide, Council, my holy Self shares the truth with me. This Self lights the way, clears the path, removes every obstacle as I accept His Presence.

Do I choose for Love/God or do I keep pretending that I am alone? Do I deny the wholeness of Love or do I welcome the Self, the part of All That Is? What God created is undivided, Love is not divided, I did not divide myself off from Creation.

Giving My Willingness

The only reason I am not joyful is because I hold the belief that I am guilty. This is not in daily awareness, but hidden carefully in the dark where once I agreed not to approach, look at or question it. I accepted the ego’s story as true, and have lived in fear and doubt with imagined sacrifices, penance and hatred as my companions. As I studied The Course the ego got on its bandwagon to tell me that I was still doing it all wrong, still a failure at following my heart or following Guidance.

I have not yet surrendered (given up) all my fear thoughts to Holy Spirit. A long entrenched habit seems to be cast in stone, untouchable by truth. Yet seen in the light of Love it is revealed to be valueless, meaningless and easily laid aside. The stories I learned and held from the split egoic mind have been false; the ego has lied to me continuously. Is not that enough reason to stop listening to it? Habits are indeed meaningless when they lead nowhere and retain only guilt, pain and resignation.

This is not what a loving Teacher would have me learn. My Holy Self reminds me again and again to choose once more. Indeed I can choose to see my innocence by seeing the compete innocence of others. I can choose to recognize the calls for help and love behind the appearances of conflict, strife, war and deprivation. In fact, the power of my desire is enough to have every fear thought fall away. A sincere request is enough to receive true perception, or healed mind. Awareness of truth returns to mind, peace and joy permeate every minute. I view daily events from above the battleground of egoic thinking. I recognize the holiness of everything as God created it. There is only oneness, unlimited and complete. I overflow in gratitude with Love Itself.

I am not wholly there yet. But every day and each instant I give my willingness to have correction of my thoughts.
I am willing to let go of the false fear story and receive the story of Love.  And so It Is.

Let Me Remember

This came to mind this morning:

Let me remember my mind holds only what I think with God.
Let me remember God is my Source, I can not see apart from Him.
Let me remember there is one Life and that I share with Him.
Let me remember God is my life, I breath and move in Him.
Let me remember there is One home and I am with God always.

—- What I think I “know” is nothing. Whatever is based on a lie can have no meaning and is not real. The premise on which the world is based is a lie so nothing true could arise from it.  A thought repeated over and over in delusions does not make it valid nor make the delusion real. Only my belief in it can give it seeming power. My belief in a picture on the screen makes it real to me but not in reality. God is the only Cause and I am His effect.
