WB Lessons 71 & 72

WB lesson 71
Only God’s plan for happiness will work.

I have been given the method to gain the goal, but as long as I choose something else I will not be happy. When will I surrender my attempts of “getting” happiness? My methods have failed repeatably and will never succeed.

Letting go of all I think I know is the only way out of the fruitless attempts. What I have taught myself is only the opposite of truth. I never left Heaven, never harmed my Father or His Son, and only remain as Love created me.

WB lesson 72
Holding unhappiness is an attack on God’s plan for happiness.

Each unhappy thought insists that the body is real. Each forgiving thought shows me that dream images are not real.

¶9~~The light of truth is in us, where it was placed by God.
      To recognize the light of truth in us is to recognize ourselves as we are. To see our Self as separate from the body is to end the attack on God’s plan for salvation [happiness], and to accept it instead. And wherever His plan is accepted it is accomplished already.

Simple Choices

I am willing to let go my past decisions.
I am willing to see differently.
I am willing to receive the truth.

I remember I do not know what anything is for.
I remember my Guide will share with me all He knows for me.
I remember I am safe in the Mind of Love.

T.10.IV. ¶4, what stood out to me:

The Laws of God work only for your good, and there are no other laws beside His.
Everything that is not under them does not exist.
God’s laws will keep your mind at peace because peace is His Will, and His laws are established to uphold it [peace].    (italics mine)

Past Dreaming, Undoing Now

Back in 2007, when I was first sick, I “knew” that I would recover, I’d be well again. I told myself that being incapacitated was not God’s Will for me. So when I relapsed, the ego system said, “You failed, where’s God’s Will now? You can’t believe in that story, look at what happened. Give it up—- it’s not worth the effort.”

I did stop the outer work of recovery, physical therapy. I also gave up mentally; the fragile trust that I had developed evaporated. This was another “confirmation” of rejection, of not being loved. The ego system had judged me and God, and it was “proving” that Spirit could not be trusted and I should not put my belief there. What a bleak and sad picture it made!

I am coming back to Spirit (it is only my dreaming that I seemed to have left). I‘m bringing my focus back to Spirit’s direction, seeking for witnesses for Love.

In my dream I pray:
Holy Spirit, shine Your Light into this dark story. I no longer want the spiritless to guide me. I want to see the Light, I want to know my holy Self. Let me feel Your presence with every step, let me remember only Love is here. I choose You, H. S., only You. T.Y.V.M.

Ramblings in Mind

T.25.IX. 9.1
Let your “secret sins” be removed for you. Keep no little problems to solve by “yourself.”

WB 281
I can be hurt by nothing but my thoughts.

There is no sin or evil in God, therefore none in me.
I remain as Love created me. I am His Son eternally.
I am perfect, compete and pure idea in the Mind of Love.
Perfect Love created m perfect.
Certain Love created me secure.
Innocent Love created me blameless.
Endless Love created me eternal.

WB 284  I can elect to change all thoughts that hurt.

“Loss is not loss when properly perceived. Pain is impossible. There is no grief with any cause at all. And suffering of any kind is nothing but a dream.”
What our Father gives cannot hurt, so grief and pain are impossible. Let me not fail to trust in Him.   
Let me accept only the joyous as His gifts, only the joyous as the truth.

What do I want?

It feels like I still hold the fears that I had from childhood. W.D.I.W?  I want to feel safe (secure) and loved. It is only my own thoughts that “hurt” me; prevent me from knowing my safety and love. I cease to give credit or credence to the ego system. It’s thoughts only show me an insane and meaningless world.
My false perceptions tell me that I’m not loved and not safe. False perceptions say that I can harm or attack, so that there is always threat of being attacked/harmed by “others” (outside world). My perception is sick and needs healing.

This healing correction does not come from me, yet comes to me at my invitation. I stop, step back, quiet my mind and allow a new perception to come to me (or mind). My wrong perceptions will fade and vanish as I give them to H. S. for correction. I asked for help and He has answered.

Dear Lord, help me give up the thoughts that hurt me. I surrender my foolish thoughts, the unhappy scared dream of loss and death.
I accept the truth in place of vain fantasies. Amen.

Do I want to believe I am a victim? Then the world will bring to me the witnesses for the sick perception. Do I want to believe that I’m imperfect, weak and undeserving? Then the world reflects the thoughts that support the false ideas. Do I really want this to be the truth? Am I not ready to give up my sick beliefs?

The body only reports what the mind sends to it. With false thoughts of separation, guilt and fear the body becomes “home” to insanity and illusion, pain and despair. This is not the home I really want.

Dear Lord, lead me out of illusions. Replace all sick and sad thoughts with truth of Love. Erase all errors and let me see the Light of perfect Love in all that I look on. Amen.

Little Bits From Spirit

My mind is conflicted because I try to make real thoughts from unreal ones.

T.15.XV. Through guilt you exclude your Father and your brother from yourself. what you exclude from yourself seems fearful, for you endow it with fear and try to cast it out, though it is part of you.        The meaning of love lies in what you have cast outside yourself, and it has no meaning apart from you. It is what you prefer to keep that has no meaning ......

See only Love for that is What you are.

Is Love an illusion? The ego would say yes; not to be trusted, not to be employed. Do I really want to keep the ego’s rules? I am no longer totally insane, there is a desire to know the truth and to accept the reality of Love.

What is my part is simply to give all thoughts that hurt (induce pain, guilt, fear) over to Holy Spirit to handle. That is His only function and He will not fail. In giving up the thoughts of pain, fear and guilt I will receive the truth. Only Love is real. Only Love is here.

Thinking that we are bodies, is the ego’s last defense against the truth.

Most of the time I’m not trusting H.S. —- It seems the not trusting was given more power back in Nov. ’07, when I had return of illness symptoms with body weakness. I then doubted my Spirit and then I thought I had done something wrong.  ~~~ My outlook is mistaken.

Who can limit God’s power?
Can I limit God’s power? How insane to believe that I can be “something” that God created not.         
To judge God’s Son is to limit his Father. Accept every brother as God created him. My brother is only Love and nothing else.    ~~~You are only Love.

My “job” is to remember for my brother that he is wholly innocent and only Love (as Love/God created him) and this has never changed.

A Choice To Judge

When I choose to judge anyone, it is a choice to use the ego thought system. It is the belief that I can get rid of guilt by giving it to a brother, and so my offended perception is justified. As long as I think that guilt can be real, I will project it to others.

Now I choose to see the guilt where it is in my mind, learn that it is only false, and let it be undone by One Who holds truth for me.

WB Lesson 246 ~ Thoughts

Before I read the lesson for today, these thoughts came to mind:

It does not matter what the ego wants. For its desire is to separate, to make itself god and ruler. It would prevent the truth from being remembered so that illusions would dissolve. Illusions by definition are false, so what the ego wants is untruth and therefore meaningless. To the deluded mind then, it does matter what the ego wants and follows its master obediently. To the waking mind, the ego’s goals and desires are recognized as senseless, wearying trials that can have no reality.

When 2 minds join together to seek the truth, the ego system is undone.
The only desire of the Heart is to return to Love, which is to waken from the dream (illusion) of separation.

Next time I am tempted with some trivial gift of the ego, I remember that this (distraction) is not what I really want.

WB 246   To love my Father is to love His Son.
I will accept the way You choose for me to come to You, my Father. For in that will I succeed because it is Your Will. and I would recognize that what You will is what I will as well, and only that. And so I choose to love Your Son. Amen.
