Giving Up the Story

Giving Up the Story

Once upon a time, there was a girl. She didn’t know anything, so she learned from the others around her.  She learned from a crazy thought system that everyone thought was ”normal” and that no one questioned if it was true. She went on many years following this thought system, not aware at all that there was another way to go, another path or teacher to follow.

She began to search for answers, from others who seemed wiser then herself. Looking at an assortment of other minds, she eventually came to A Course In Miracles. She began reading it and following the Workbook lessons, slowly developing a connection with her Holy Spirit, Holy Self. But the sneaky thought system named ‘ego’, groomed itself to appear as the holy self. It tricked her with feelings of happiness, that were only scraps of true happiness.

The girl had a set-back in the physical world, she felt let down, betrayed, and abandoned. She felt like she was a liar, not telling anyone else of her fears and her denial of what The Course had helped her with. She had given up reading the Course, but although she denied the tiny voice of Love within her, she still had what seemed to be a microscopic piece of Love within her mind. That part never gave up, never abandoned her.

The girl, woman now, realized that that were two voices in her mind, and she had the abilityto choose which voice she listened to. Actually that it was easy to remind herself that she could always tell the noisy unwanted voice to be quiet, that she would no longer abide it’s insane diatribe. She could summon the Voice of Love to provide her with compassion and understanding. She could learn and accept the new way to see and perceive the world around her. That all the moments of doubt, fear and guilt were only camouflage to hide the Love Light within her mind. Whatever she felt unworthy of, was hers Now, undeniable, Certain, Eternal and Infinite.

For a long long time it seemed to me that I was hopeless, doomed to have nothing more then the insane thoughts and the voice I made up. I have returned to the idea that I am not alone in this teaching situation, for the Holy Spirit is my constant Companion, with me to correct/undo all errors and mistaken ideas. This is one of many paths that lead to Home, to be One with our Source.
It is simple to be kind to others, remembering that they too are seeking their way Home.
It is simple to remember that what I “see” in another body only reflects the beliefs I hold about my self.
It is simple to let go of anything that hurts the mind.
I am willing to remember only Love is real.
