WB Lesson 243 ~ Thoughts

Today I will judge nothing that occurs.

Today I recognize the bits of my perception never can give me the understanding of the whole. Today I accept that my perceptions can only be mistakes and have never been nor will ever be valid. And so I am relieved of judgments I cannot make on my own.

I am willing to have my misperceptions undone, to have my thoughts purified. H.S.’s light shines away the fearful ideas, revealing what has always been within.

From everyone whom you accord release from guilt you will inevitably learn your innocence. Your only calling [function, purpose] here is to devote yourself, with active willingness, to the denial of guilt in all its forms. T.14.V. 7&3.

As I see/recognize my brothers innocence I release them from fear, their darkened perceptions. That is my only purpose being here.

One Simple Thing

Nothing is simpler than to take a moment and give the mind over to direction to One Who has only my best interests in heart.

My mind can only serve. As I follow H. Spirit’s direction the mind will communicate only love. As I remember to go within to learn the truth, I offer love and innocence to those that appear in my dreaming. That is my function.
I trust Holy Spirit to give me all He knows for me.

WB Lesson 226 ~ Thoughts

I have been riding the ego’s merry-go -round of illusion for awhile. Now I have decided to step back, get down from the ride, I want to return to sanity. From WB lesson 226, these thoughts came to mind.

“If I see no value in the world as I behold it, nothing I want to keep as mine or search for as a goal, it will depart from me. For I have not sought for illusions to replace the truth.”

When I see value in anything around me, I am replacing truth with my illusion; the “I want it thus” syndrome. All my upset, pain and misery come from wanting my imaginary thoughts in place of truth. If I think I know what my happiness is, I am confused and deceived by the voice I have chosen to listen to. Jesus asks me to choose again. There is nothing to lose by asking for another way to look at this situation, person, idea.

There is nothing to lose for the world of form is meaningless to the mind of Love. When I allow the world to be used for the healing purpose of joining minds, then I experience happiness. In letting go of what I never had, I allow truth, union, Heaven to replace my dream of separation. Any fear that I may feel is only a veil that the ego system would draw over the face of Love, in its attempt to keep Love hidden.

My holy Self knows the oneness of Heaven, the strength of peace, the certainty of Love. When I go within and join with my holy Self, I experience perfect happiness. Dear Holy Spirit, I am willing to be aware of my thoughts and to give them to You. I would keep only what God shares with me, which He created for me.  Amen.

I am reminded that nothing, absolutely nothing in my world has value, only the relationship I have with God/Source has value. If I think I want anything else, I am delusional, and I have done nothing in reality.

WB Lesson 187

These thoughts stood out to me in this workbook lesson.

Ideas must first belong to you, before you give them.
Protect all things you value by the act of giving them away, and you are sure that you will never lose them. Yet value not its form. It is the thought behind the form that lives unchangeable.

Never forget you give but to yourself. Likewise, what you deny to others you are denying to yourself.

The thought of sacrifice gives rise to all the forms that suffering appears to take. And sacrifice is an idea so ludicrous that sanity dismisses it at once. If the thought occurs, its very presence proves that error has arisen and correction must be made. Your blessing will correct it. Given first to you, it now is yours to give as well.

No form of sacrifice and suffering can long endure before the face of one who has forgiven and has blessed himself.

The lilies (of forgiveness) that your brother offers you are laid upon your altar, with the ones you offer him beside them.
The great illusion of the fear of God diminishes to nothingness before the purity that you will look on here.
The blessedness you will behold will take away all thought of form, and leave instead the perfect gift forever there, forever to increase, forever yours, forever given away.
And as we look within, we see the purity of Heaven shine in our reflection of our Father’s Love.

Now are we blessed, and now we bless the world. What we have looked upon we would extend, for we would see it everywhere. For where we see it, it will be returned to us in form of lilies we can lay upon our altar, making it a home for Innocence Itself, [Christ] Who dwells in us and offers us His Holiness as ours.

WB Lesson 174

These thoughts came to mind with today’s lesson.

WB 174   God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
    Into His Presence I would enter now.
    Today I learn to give as I receive.

I am only Love, for I remain as God created me. I did not make myself. I am as God created me. Being only Love I cannot harm nor be harmed.

Love does not threaten, coerce, attack or condemn. Those are attributes made by a sick mind being immersed in fantasy. It is an ego dream.

Let me remember there is no separation. Let me remember I am one with God. Let me remember that peace is my only goal. When I choose peace then I have the condition for understanding which precedes knowing that comes from Love.
Let me remember my will is God’s Will. Let me remember only Love is real.

All That Changes

These thoughts came to mind this morning:

All that changes is not real.
What is changeless is eternal like its Source.

If for just an instant you could accept this idea (what changes is not real) all thought of judgment would be seen as meaningless.

The body changes as the mind directs—- the body changes so it is not real. The body was made as a defense against the truth. The body but reflects the beliefs the mind holds, the values it would acquire. The question then is: what do you want? Do you know?  The question “What is it for?” asks, is used to make separation real or used to release from illusion?

The body can used for a different purpose, with Holy Spirit’s direction. It can reflect the Love of Source and bring the light of peace to every mind.

Accepting Happiness

This morning’s thought was: that I don’t know what makes me happy. I have tried the ego’s way to have happiness and it never works.

It is only my thoughts that give me unhappiness. The discontent, conflict of goals, insecurity and sense of worthlessness only come from my confused thoughts. That is why forgiveness is necessary and what I need to practice. Forgiving or giving up the thoughts that are false is all that I have been asked to do. It is only my false thinking that gives me despair, unrest and grief. This is not God’s Will for me or anyone. Yet as long as I cherish (value) being a separate individual, the split mind will defend its belief system.

I need to constantly remind myself that I do not know. I do not know what anything is for, but I have with me the Voice, the Answer, that will tell me.

With unbiased observation I can look at the insane thoughts of separation. I can allow the Light to shine on them. With understanding that is not my own, I can let go of the thoughts that are meaningless. As I learn what is valueless I recognize there is no loss. My foolish thoughts are nothing and have no reality. To let go of my thoughts is accepting forgiveness; seeing only innocence is accepting happiness.
