Do I Want to Be Happy?

Do I want to be happy? Then I have to allow Spirit to decide for me. I must accept the fact that what I choose on “my own” which is with the false egoic mind, I am mistaken. From that standpoint I can only be wrong as the false ideas of separation are themselves based on fantasy.

(The following thoughts are from NTI, Regina D. Akers, ©2008.)
“What if nothing was as it is? What if everything was different than it is? That was an impossible question, pure fantasy. But then you judged the fantasy as if it was real and decided through judgment that it was. This judgment did not make the unreal real. ....The sin you judged yourself for was the sin of making what isn’t. But what isn’t cannot be made, and so you have not sinned.

“The guilt that you feel and believe and express is all part of the fantasy. .... but your belief doesn’t make it true. .... You reverse the “laws” that made the fantasy by ceasing to play the game. You let go of judgment and all perceived guilt. You no longer believe what isn’t true.” [the fantasy you’ve made in play].

My fantasy can never be made true no matter how long I play in it. The playing becomes wearying and I experience sadness instead of fun (joy). At least I can decide I do not like the way I feel.
And so I hope I have been wrong. I want another way to look at this. (T.30.1.8-11)
This choice opens the door to Spirit for His interpretation; I allow His thought to replace my ridiculous thought of separateness.
