Lesson 57
(beginning day 57)

Today let us review these ideas:


I am not the victim of the world I see.
How can I be the victim of a world that can be completely undone if I so choose? My chains are loosened. I can drop them off merely by desiring to do so. The prison door is open. I can leave simply by walking out. Nothing holds me in this world. Only my wish to stay keeps me a prisoner. I would give up my insane wishes and walk into the sunlight at last.


I have invented the world I see.
I made up the prison in which I see myself. All I need do is recognize this and I am free. I have deluded myself into believing it is possible to imprison the Son of God. I was bitterly mistaken in this belief, which I no longer want. The Son of God must be forever free. He is as God created him, and not what I would make of him. He is where God would have him be, and not where I thought to hold him prisoner.


There is another way of looking at the world.
Since the purpose of the world is not the one I ascribed to it, there must be another way of looking at it. I see everything upside down, and my thoughts are the opposite of truth. I see the world as a prison for God's Son. It must be, then, that the world is really a place where he can be set free. I would look upon the world as it is, and see it as a place where the Son of God finds his freedom.


I could see peace instead of this.
When I see the world as a place of freedom, I realize that it reflects the laws of God instead of the rules I made up for it to obey. I will understand that peace, not war, abides in it. And I will perceive that peace also abides in the hearts of all who share this place with me.


My mind is part of God's. I am very holy.
As I share the peace of the world with my brothers, I begin to understand that this peace comes from deep within myself. The world I look upon has taken on the light of my forgiveness, and shines forgiveness back at me. In this light I begin to see what my illusions about myself kept hidden. I begin to understand the holiness of all living things, including myself, and their oneness with me.

Furry Animal Story

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1251753/Thats-nuts-Squirrel-thinks-kitten-suckles-surrogate-cat-mum.html

Kate says: I have never seen a squirrel since we don't have them here in New Zealand. However, I was always fascinated by them as a very young child. I loved the way they would stash food away for the winter. Even now if I score a pair of shoes (or something else I need) on sale, I will often get two pair and stash one away, lol!
Actually, thinking about it now, I do believe it was a fear thing. I'm probably less inclined to do that now I truly believe my needs are taken care of. :~D

Miracles are natural, it is when they don’t  occur that something has gone wrong.

My personal road to a life filled with love and peace had taken me around the world and cost me an endless amount of pain over the years. The constant infliction of pain on my self didn’t stop until the day that I realized that I was at war with myself and that I was in the process of losing. That was the day that I asked the one question that every intelligent person eventually will ask themselves. The question is;


Why am I here?

The fact is that on the level of form it just doesn’t make sense to be here. We are just a tiny speck in a universe that consists of over 70 billion galaxies and we are stuck in one of them in a cage that we call Earth that provides us with an endless amount of obstacles and our reality is that we can’t leave it even if we wanted to. On top of this we are all going to die one day so what is the point? It should be clear to everyone that in our so called reality our presence here just doesn’t make sense!

I realized that I’m not really here. I just think that I am. I’m not a body but an immortal Spirit and I’m free, whole and innocent. With that realization in me I started to rebuild my life by removing fear and conflict from it. I suddenly understood that when I attacked or blamed someone I wasn’t really attacking them but the attack was ONLY directed at myself. How could it be any other way when I was the one who was feeling the pain inside.

It is all about me and one day you will see that your life is all about YOU and that the only factor that influences how you feel about yourself is determined by the way that you are looking at other people and that you have spend all your life, as I have, on a constant hunt for someone to blame for the pain that you are feeling in you from time to time.

I have now accepted that my gift in this lifetime is to assist other people find their inner guide and I do so by relaying the beautiful message to the World that is the “A Course in Miracles”.   (edited) 

 

 

*** Should We Fall / Oneness ***

Kate says:  If we fall while walking along the street what do we do? Do we remain on the pavement chastising ourselves for falling? Do we lay there beating ourselves up for making the mistake of not seeing the curb, or the rock, (or whatever), and tripping?


"How STUPID of me to let that curb get the better of me."
 "I SHOULD have seen it coming."
"You learnt to walk years ago, DUMMY, you know better than to fall at your age!"


No we don't. We usually get up, brush ourselves off and maybe even laugh! ... So how come when we believe we have fallen spiritually, (i.e. made a mistake on some level), do we stay there so long, being so very hard on ourselves?


~ Thank you Prudence for your Oneness Blessing this morning and for using a similar analogy as above, to illustrate a very good point. Much appreciated!


~ Namaste ♥ 

Rest in Peace ~ Pauly Fuemana ~ Kiwi band OMC

The Lord's Prayer ~ Sister Janet Mead ~ 1973

This was a favourite when I was a kid. I never sang, yet I managed to sing this over and over again on occasion. I think I drove my neighbours a little barmy, lol!

TODAY: A Personal Reminder

Seek ye first the kingdom of God


And His righteousness

And all these things shall be added unto you

Allelu, alleluia



Man shall not live by bread alone

But by every word

That proceeds from the mouth of God

Allelu, alleluia



Ask and it shall be given unto you

Seek and ye shall find

Knock and the door shall be opened unto you

Allelu, alleluia



Seek ye first the kingdom of God

And His righteousness

And all these things shall be added unto you

Allelu, alleluia



Man shall not live by bread alone

But by every word

That proceeds from the mouth of God

Allelu, alleluia

♥          ♥          ♥
                  
Seek ye first the Kingdom of God


And His righteousness

And all these things shall be added unto you

Hallelu, Hallelujah!



Man shall not live by bread alone

But by every word

That proceeds from the mouth of God

Hallelu, Hallelujah!



Ask and it shall be given unto you

Seek and ye shall find

Knock and the door shall be opened unto you

Hallelu, Hallelujah!



If the Son shall set you free

Ye shall be free indeed

Ye shall know the truth, and it shall set you free

Hallelu, Hallelujah!



Let your light so shine before men that they may see

Your good works and glorify

Your Father in heaven

Hallelu, Hallelujah!



Trust in the Lord with all thine heart

He shall direct thy paths

In all thy ways acknowledge Him

Hallelu, Hallelujah!

Lesson 48 ~ A Course in Miracles

Lesson 48


There is nothing to fear.

 ♥


The idea for today simply states a fact. It is not a fact to those who believe in illusions, but illusions are not facts. In truth there is nothing to fear. It is very easy to recognize this. But it is very difficult to recognize it for those who want illusions to be true.

♥


Today's practice periods will be very short, very simple and very frequent. Merely repeat the idea as often as possible. You can use it with your eyes open at any time and in any situation. It is strongly recommended, however, that you take a minute or so whenever possible to close your eyes and repeat the idea slowly to yourself several times. It is particularly important that you use the idea immediately, should anything disturb your peace of mind.

 ♥


The presence of fear is a sure sign that you are trusting in your own strength. The awareness that there is nothing to fear shows that somewhere in your mind, though not necessarily in a place you recognize as yet, you have remembered God, and let His strength take the place of your weakness. The instant you are willing to do this there is indeed nothing to fear.

♥          ♥          ♥          ♥          ♥           ♥           ♥                   

~*~Forgiveness~*~

Forgiveness is the great need of the world, but that is because it is a world of illusions. Those who forgive are thus releasing themselves from illusions, while those who withold forgiveness are binding themselves to them. -ACIM

Kate says: We can never be truly hurt by another. Nor can we truly hurt another. Forgiveness is the key to releasing all idea that hurt is possible. Non-forgiveness is the choice to remain in prison. To forgive ourselves and others is to release ourselves from all effects of the past.

♥ Connie Talbot ♥ Three Little Birds ♥

♥ Today ... take a moment to stop and go within. Suspending all sense of guilt from the past and fear of the future, focus only on the Love and Peace of NOW, the only real time there is. Breathe. Dare to be happy! ♥

♥ Our inner child remembers pure Truth and Love. They are trusting, loving, spontaneous and focussed on the NOW. I believe this is true, no matter what our "physical" childhoods were like.

'I forgave the criminal everything,' she says in the documentary. 'Otherwise I would have been filled with too much hate and negative feelings - that would have left me psychologically and physically at square one.'

Natascha, who admits to keeping a photo of Priklopil in her handbag at all times, adds: 'I think he suffered deep wounds as a child that retarded his consciousness. It awoke in me a kind of sympathy, compassion.'

Kate says: Stockholm Syndrome? Quite possibly, to one degree or another. However, this insightful, intelligent woman has so much to offer the world - both due to her experience but particularly because of her seeming ability to process it in such a remarkable manner.
I do hope she writes a book, though she needs to do whatever is best for her own healing first. Please read the article to see what she is doing already. 

Truly amazing and inspirational!
