Only One Light

Hello Everyone!
These thoughts were given to me recently….. How thankful I am for Spirit’s presence in my mind, and that sometimes I am willing to listen and receive.
Forgiveness is my only function here. As I forgive my dream I receive the Truth. As I forgive the images they are replaced with Light. By forgiving my dream I recognize my innocence. Eternal innocence is all I see. Amen! 
I choose to wake—not to sleep.

This stood out to me when my partner came on this sentence in ACIM Text pg 41:
“Know God and accept His certainty.” 

I then received from Spirit: Open your mind and be very still. The Light that you “seek”—you all ready have. When you seek to see the light in your brother, you learn that it is within you. There is only one Light just as there in only one Creator. Being like the Creator, this Light has no opposite and no end.

As the Light of the world, you have no need to make illusions real. It is a meaningless task—- a mission doomed to fail. For being the Light, you are as well, God’s Will. Since you are God’s Will, you can only “do” His Will (extend love). If you think you oppose His Will, you are mistaken. There is no other will, only His Will.
Love has never failed you. When you think you have a problem, remember to look with H.S.  As you look with Love, you will remember there is no loss; you are whole, complete, as your Father created you.

As you look with Love at all your circumstances, you will receive the perfect choice, the perfect answer.
We see that you are fearful of not having the means to pay back the loan. When you focus on fear you call fear to you. When you notice fear has joined you, you can ask for healing the thoughts behind the fear. At this moment you experience uncertainty and not being safe. Ask for healing of the thoughts that make these feelings, and give up these thoughts. Fear is not your home.
There is no sin! Accept your worth as the perfect innocence that you are! You are only Love and nothing else. Be still and listen to the truth.                            Me: thank you Holy Spirit!

The Unreal Belief—Ego

Hello Everyone!
Spirit gave me these thoughts, to heal my mind.

Spirit: Yes, the “ego” is resistant to the truth. Still, you are not the ego, it is not what you are.  When you feel doubtful, uncertain, alone, that is the ego belief. When you feel discouraged, detached, apathetic, that is the ego belief. When you feel isolated, hopeless, poor, that is the ego.
Remind yourself consistently that you are not an ego thought. You reside in the Mind that created you. (Thoughts leave not their source.)

Just as an impossible thought was made, so did you forget that it was impossible. You forgot to laugh! From this one thought did all the forms of separation arise.
The sick mind has made illusions and thinks they are true. Illusions are unstable blocks on which the world is made. It is the total opposite of your Reality. Your Reality has never changed—- for Love is eternal; without limit, without end. You have not changed Love with sick thoughts and meaningless ideas. Only Love is real, and you remain as Love created you. Be not afraid of Love, for that is what you are.

My partner then had this insight during our daily lesson: “I want my dreams because they are what “I” made—I think they are all I have. But they are nothing.”

My True Value

Hello Everyone!
I recently received these words from Spirit….

Spirit: The weight on your shoulders comes only from the beliefs in your mind. Beliefs are held to make what you want to be real. By letting go of your beliefs, the weight is removed (as it was never real). Truth has no alternative. You remain as Love created you. To accept the world as illusion does not mean that you have to give up happiness. Happiness is your function here!
While you do other “things” you will not be happy. When you feel overwhelmed, it comes only from beliefs that you are lacking.
Then in WB Lesson 128; ¶ 4.
“Certainty of worth can not be found in worthlessness.”
“The world I see holds nothing that I want.”
Salvation is not in this world—- but it is in my mind. What you value, you make part of you, as you perceive yourself. When you take on a project or daily task, remind yourself that your true value is far from this image of the world, the image of your body. Your value is in your holiness and you are your Father’s treasure. When you deceive yourself, then you are discouraged. Be not afraid of knowing your worth.
Be not afraid of letting go the valueless. You are as God created you and this has never changed.

All Thoughts That Hurt

Hello Everyone, I recently received the following from Spirit.

Spirit: You have asked, “What is wrong with me?” from the underlying assumption that you were (are) not lovable.
I ask you, is there any truth to this assumption? I assure you that you are created as part of Love Itself. And if that is true, it is not possible to be unlovable or unloving. As yet, you do not perceive the spark of light within everyone. This spark is real, it represents the eternal glory of which you belong. What Love created not, is not here nor will ever be. Only Love creates and only like Itself. With Love’s creation there is no miscreation.

Me: Dear J., thank you very much. Strengthen my resolve to hear only your Voice all through the day. Guide me through all my uncertainties and fears. I would be as Love created me.

Precious Child, you have nothing to fear. Simply give the painful thoughts to H.S.  He replaces the false with true, the fear with Love.
You had a thought that you could be different from Love. That thought and all that grew from that one are nothing. You did not change Love, you did not become autonomous from Love. The imagined departure from Love has had no effects in Reality. You need only give up the thoughts that claim Love is dead. You need only give the fear thoughts to H.S. Who replaces the false with the true.
Your only function is to give up all thoughts that hurt. Remember that you do not know the purpose of anything, and that H.S. does know.

Who Is My Teacher?

Hello Everyone,  I hope the following will be helpful in some way.
This morning I was feeling down, that I was back to base zero, that I was not “doing” what Spirit had intended for me…… you know, the old ego-smego.  I went to H.S.—- I have chosen wrongly. I now give this choice to You. Whenever I think I am lacking something—- that is from the ego system. When I think I lack friends (or massage therapist) I am trying to get from the illusion what I perceive I need. I deny everything I have for some little scrap of the body’s story.

Spirit: Dear One, as long as you believe that you are a body, you will experience effects of guilt. The body is just another image you have tried to rid the mind of. You have taught yourself that you are a body, repeatedly. Now it seems to you, that you need the reverse number of lessons to undo the curse. None of that is true. You can accept responsibility for what you think. By giving up thoughts that are not truly “yours” you will have release.
To hold foreign thoughts is to accept an un-natural, synthetic and ultimately sick life. Such a life is not real, just as a body is not real. Sick thoughts uphold the belief in bodies. Thoughts that seem “normal” to you are always associated with the body, either yours or another’s. These are the thoughts that need correction; they are only mistakes that hold no value. Would you learn that this is so? You cannot give correction to yourself—this is not your function. Correction comes only of Holy Spirit. You try to make adjustments to errors but this is not release, it does not heal.

 

(My partner joined me and opened the Course to Chap. 8:I.4.1-2 & II.2.9.;II.3.4) “Your past learning must have taught the wrong things, simply because it has not made you happy. On this basis alone its value should be questioned. “Your will is in your nature, and therefore cannot go against it. “It is never God Who coerses you, because He shares His Will with you.”
(Holy Spirit’s lesson is) “…...that your will and Gods cannot be out of accord because they are one. This is the undoing of everything the ego tries to teach. (8:II.3.6-7) “Holy Spirit’s direction is freedom and His goal is God.” (8:II.6.2)

I was also led to read in the Manual for Teachers, (26.4.1-3) “Do not despair, then, because of limitations. It is your function to escape from them, but not to be without them. If you would be heard by those who suffer, you must speak their language.”

 

Spirit: Of this you can be sure, the ego does not know what you are, though it’s goal is to teach you that. Holy Spirit does know what you are, and will make certain that you learn it. You are the Will of God, so you must share that Will as He shares It with you. There is nothing that your holiness cannot do, because your strength comes from God.

 

You are not a failure, though the ego would teach you this, for it wants you to give up listening to the one Teacher that can truly teach you. It delights in your despair that you are not following the Course “properly” nor succeeding in the WorkBook lessons. These are the limitations that it holds dear, but are not the reality of your mind, or your will. You had a thought that you must give up the belief that you are a body, but remember this also: “God takes you where you are and welcomes you.” (26.4.10) He has given you the means to let go of limitations, and you are always answered, given every support,  and have every need met. Even while you think that you are a body, you still are capable of choosing again for a happy day. You are capable of learning through Holy Spirit, of looking with Him, of hearing with Him, and letting His words flow from your mouth. You are not asked to do more, you are asked only to do the little part of letting Holy Spirit lead you.
Step back. Remember that you do not know. Breath deeply. Make room for peace in your mind. Allow your self to feel, or hear, or see, the Comforter with you.  Be you in Joy!
