Helpful Excerpts from Text

Hello Everyone—the OneShip,

The following excerpts stood out to me last night and this morning. Broadly in Text.9. IV; 10-12. V; 6-8. VI; 5-7. VII.
Specifically, the sentences that I have italicised, are helpful to me within my framework of learning in this moment. 

“…… your only hope is to change your mind about reality. Only if the decision that reality is fearful is wrong can God be right. And I assure you that God IS right. Be glad, then, that you have been wrong, but this was only because you did not know who you were. Had you known, you could no more have been wrong than God can.”  9.IV. 10; 2-6

“The decision to receive is the decision to accept.” 9.VI. 2; 6

“How can you become increasingly aware of the H.Spirit in you except by His effects?  9.VI. 1;1
“Healing is not mysterious. Nothing will change unless it is understood, since light IS understanding.  9.V. 6; 4-5 The miracle worker begins by perceiving light, and translates his perception into sureness by continually extending it [light] and accepting its acknowledgment. Its effects assure him it is there.”  9.V. 7; 8-9

“Very simply the H.Spirit teaches you to awaken others. As you see them awaken you will learn what waking means, …… 9.VI. 5; 2-3
<i>“God wills you perfect happiness now. Is it possible that this is not also your will? And is it possible that this is not also the will of your brothers? 9.VII. 1; 8-10 If you choose to see yourself as unloving you will not be happy. 9.VII. 5; 1                                                                                                                               “Consider, then, that in this joint will you are all united, and in this only.”  9.VII. 2;1

“He [H.S.] is not deceived by anything you do, because He never forgets what you are. The ego is deceived by everything you do, especially when you respond to the H.S., because at such times its confusion increases. The ego is, therefore, particularly likely to attack you when you react lovingly, because it has evaluated you as unloving and you are going against its judgment. The ego will attack your motives as soon as they become clearly out of accord with its perception of you.”   9.VIII. 4; 3-6  
                                                     
If you choose to see yourself as unloving you will not be happy.”  9.VIII. 5; 1

P.S. My only hope is to change my mind about reality; that is to accept that my decision that reality is fearful,  and let it be reversed. Reality holds only truth, and truth cannot be fearful, though I can deceive my self with fear thoughts. The thoughts from dreams can never be solid, certain or pure, so that makes them fearful. The thoughts that come from Love are certain, pure, solid, uncontested, and nothing else. They appear fearful only to the sick egoic mind.
Our reality is that we are the Light of Love. Our purpose is to extend the light, the Love we are. When we choose to deny the Love that we are (seeing myself as unloving) then we will be unhappy.
This holds great relevance for me: “Being capable of tolerating unhappiness is the best way to push God away.”  (Mary Gerard; © 2006)
