Looking at Anger Part II

Hello holy Lights,

The following continues from the previous page of this journal. The beginning part are paragraphs from WB Lesson 136.

“There is no miracle you can have unless you want it.”
“All healing is release from the past.”

“To forgive is to heal. All physical forms of sickness, sickness, even unto death, are expressions of of the fear of awakening. Sickness is a defense against the truth. Sickness is not an accident ...... it is an insane device for self deception. And like all the rest its purpose is to hide reality, attack it, change it render it inept, distort it twist it, or reduce to to a little pile of unassembled parts. The aim of all defenses is to keep the truth from being whole.

“God knows not of your plans to change His Will. You can but choose to think you do this, or suffer sickness or distort the truth in any way. What is created [God’s Will] is apart from all of this. Defenses are plans to defeat what cannot be attacked. What is unalterable cannot change. And what is wholly sinless cannot sin.
How can you think that sickness can shield you from the truth? Because it “proves” the body is not separate from you, and so you must be separate from the Truth. You suffer pain because the body does and in this pain are you made one with it [body].

“Truth has a power far beyond defense, for no illusions can remain where truth has been allowed to enter. And it comes to any mind that would lay down its arms, and cease to play with folly.  (Truth) is found at anytime; today if you will choose to practice giving welcome to the truth. Truth merely wants to give you happiness, for such it’s purpose is. With perfect certainty, truth knows that what God wills for you must be received.

“A healing prayer to help us rise above defensiveness and let truth be as it has always been: 
Sickness is a defense against the truth. I will accept the truth of what I am, and let my mind be wholly healed today.

“If you let your mind harbor [entertain] attack thoughts, yield to judgment or make plans against uncertainties to come, you have again misplaced your self, and made a bodily identity which will attack the body, for the mind is sick. Do not allow your defensiveness to hurt you longer. Do not be confused about what must be healed, Tell your self: I have forgotten what I really am, for I mistook the body for myself. Sickness is a defense against the truth. But I am not a body. And my mind cannot attack. So I can not be sick.”

- Spirit:
The Course defined ego is a thought in the mind that believes that is is separate from the Whole Mind of God. This belief runs its entire existence.  This belief is the only error that needs correction. This error in thought is corrected by the H.S. Who abides in the (right mind) within our mind. This is His only function. We need to be willing to let the error go, instead of holding onto it, like a willful child that wants its blanket or special toy. A willful child does not listen, “it wants it thus.” It thinks that it is right and knows what is good and bad for it. This also describes the ego thought that runs your world.

The ego thought has no balance. It uses conflicting messages, making the mind a confusion of thoughts balanced on a feather. One moment it will direct you to do some action and the next it directs you to stop. Contradicting thoughts are its domain and competition becomes the safe guard.  “Always look out for # one; anyone will take advantage of you, so trust no one. The corporate world is bad; the government is run by big business; the environment is dying.” With ego in charge the list goes on and on. On daily basis it directs what has value, what has importance, and what to feel threatened by. None of what it directs is true. A mistaken thought can only produce more mistakes.

9:30 p.m. (Me): I am blessed as a Son of God. and my brothers bless me. I thank my Father for His gifts to me.

10:10 p.m.: Spirit: Sara, you have come to this point to accept the mind healing that you asked for. And so it is. You are willing to let go of the thoughts that hurt, thoughts that bind the illusion to your mind. You have decided not to tolerate the unhappiness. Unhappiness is a sick belief, that hides the Will you share with and God and with Love.
As you welcome truth (happiness) so your mind is healed. As you live in joy, there is awareness of the perfection of Eternal plan, that was completed an instant ago. Living in joy brings healing to every mind.

The ego thought (sick mind) wanted to “stop,” it wanted to give up the battle it thought was real. It tried to prevent you from turning to truth, but it has failed.
You are spirit and truth prevails in all ways—- beyond all dreams.
(me: TYVM)
