Do you want a serene mind?

Can you rest in a serene heart?

Is it possible to live fully serene in this Earthly world?

Yes!

Forgiveness offers everything, now.


A Course in Miracles

Lesson 155

I will step back and let Him lead the way.

1. There is a way of living in the world that is not here, although it seems to be. ²You do not change appearance, though you smile more frequently. ³Your forehead is serene; your eyes are quiet. ⁴And the ones who walk the world as you do recognize their own. ⁵Yet those who have not yet perceived the way will recognize you also, and believe that you are like them, as you were before.

2. The world is an illusion. ²Those who choose to come to it are seeking for a place where they can be illusions, and avoid their own reality. ³Yet when they find their own reality is even here, then they step back and let it lead the way. ⁴What other choice is really theirs to make? ⁵To let illusions walk ahead of truth is madness. ⁶But to let illusion sink behind the truth and let the truth stand forth as what it is, is merely sanity.

(ACIM, W-155.1:1–2:6)

Silence listens

Weekly meditation for contemplation

Available on youtube


       https://youtu.be/QiSEzpL2BC8      



When the mental activity in the head is non stop chatter, there will be no access to Divine wisdom.

The vital practice of emptying one's self of egoic noise and mental chatter is key to peace NOW.

We will of course move along the spiritual journey and try many things to cease mental chatter.

Here is a simple formula-

Step 1-Admit we are powerless over the egoic noise and its unmanageability

Step 2-Only God will restore the mind to perfect peace and harmony.

Step 3-Turn it all over in non-judgmental awareness to God's care.


Surrender by allowing the noise to burn off while resting in the still quiet center of being present.

Be gentle by forgiving the mental noise and the false images.

Judge not what can never be true.

Eventually all that shall remain is the sweet embrace of loves peace.

Divine wisdom is born. 

Silence listens and then inspires!


A Course in Miracles

11. God’s Son will always be indivisible. ²As we are held as one in God, so do we learn as one in Him. ³God’s Teacher is as like to His Creator as is His Son, and through His Teacher does God proclaim His Oneness and His Son’s. ⁴Listen in silence, and do not raise your voice against Him. ⁵For He teaches the miracle of oneness, and before His lesson division disappears. ⁶Teach like Him here, and you will remember that you have always created like your Father. ⁷The miracle of creation has never ceased, having the holy stamp of immortality upon it. ⁸This is the Will of God for all creation, and all creation joins in willing this.

12. Those who remember always that they know nothing, and who have become willing to learn everything, will learn it.²But whenever they trust themselves, they will not learn. ³They have destroyed their motivation for learning by thinking they already know. ⁴Think not you understand anything until you pass the test of perfect peace, for peace and understanding go together and never can be found alone. ⁵Each brings the other with it, for it is the law of God they be not separate. ⁶They are cause and effect, each to the other, so where one is absent the other cannot be.

The Presence

Weekly meditation for contemplation

Available on youtube

      https://youtu.be/QlfRev80GIU     



Awake, aware, alive. 


In This Moment recognize the Presence of God in the Sun. 


In This Moment recognize the Presence of God in a blade of grass. 


In This Moment recognize the Presence of God within. 


In This Moment recognize the Presence of God in others. 


In this moment recognize the Presence of God beyond the ego's veiling. 


In this moment accept the purification of all ego perceptions, and gaze upon the things of the Earth that are mere echoes of the Presence of God.


It is not the echo that matters, 

it is only the Presence of GOD that does.


Be still and rest in God's Presence.


A Course in Miracles


7. Miracles are everyone’s right, but purification is necessary first. 

(ACIM, T-1.I.7:1)

https://acim.org/acim/chapter-1/principles-of-miracles/en/s/53

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


⁶Therefore, it is not the form of the question that matters, nor how it is asked. ⁷The form of the answer, if given by God, will suit your need as you see it. ⁸This is merely an echo of the reply of His Voice. ⁹The real sound is always a song of thanksgiving and of Love.

3. You cannot, then, ask for the echo. ²It is the song that is the gift. ³Along with it come the overtones, the harmonics, the echoes, but these are secondary. ⁴In true prayer you hear only the song. ⁵All the rest is merely added. ⁶You have sought first the Kingdom of Heaven, and all else has indeed been given you.

N O W=No one waits

Weekly meditation for contemplation

Available on youtube

       https://youtu.be/1YiGocjuSBM      


How often we find ourselves lost in time and the egoic concept of waiting. The good news is the Holy Spirit will use time for the undoing of what never was.

Our Reality in God has never changed. We experience conscious Divine contact with God in this NOW sacred moment of release from the bondage of self.

Welcome Home!




A Course in Miracles

2. The basic decision of the miracle-minded is not to wait on time any longer than is necessary. ²Time can waste as well as be wasted. ³The miracle worker, therefore, accepts the time-control factor gladly. ⁴He recognizes that every collapse of time brings everyone closer to the ultimate release from time, in which the Son and the Father are One. ⁵ 

(ACIM, T-1.V.2:1-5)

https://acim.org/acim/chapter-1/wholeness-and-spirit/en/s/57


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

5. Delay is of the ego, because time is its concept. ²Both time and delay are meaningless in eternity. ³I have said before that the Holy Spirit is God’s Answer to the ego. ⁴Everything of which the Holy Spirit reminds you is in direct opposition to the ego’s notions, because true and false perceptions are themselves opposed. ⁵The Holy Spirit has the task of undoing what the ego has made. ⁶He undoes it at the same level on which the ego operates, or the mind would be unable to understand the change.

6. I have repeatedly emphasized that one level of the mind is not understandable to another. ²So it is with the ego and the Holy Spirit; with time and eternity. ³Eternity is an idea of God, so the Holy Spirit understands it perfectly. ⁴Time is a belief of the ego, so the lower mind, which is the ego’s domain, accepts it without question. ⁵The only aspect of time that is eternal is now.

Spiritual identification


Weekly meditation for contemplation

Available on youtube

       https://youtu.be/x4DB82A1b4w      

Identify with ego/body and conflict arises. 

Identify with Spirit and Truth sets free the Mind of Christ, which is always free.


A Course in Miracles


29. Miracles praise God through you. ²They praise Him by honoring His creations, affirming their perfection. ³They heal because they deny body-identification and affirm spirit-identification.

30. By recognizing spirit, miracles adjust the levels of perception and show them in proper alignment. ²This places spirit at the center, where it can communicate directly.

Set aside prayer

Weekly meditation for contemplation

Available on youtube

       https://youtu.be/H5xqDKlZPO8      

Let us not deny our human condition, but set it aside and turn it over to The Holy Spirit who knows how to direct our Life.


A Course in Miracles


⁵If the body becomes a means you give to the Holy Spirit to use on behalf of union of the Sonship, you will not see anything physical except as what it is. ⁶Use it for truth and you will see it truly. 

(ACIM, T-8.VII.4:4-6)

https://acim.org/acim/chapter-8/the-body-as-a-means-of-communication/en/s/125

~~~~~~~

7. Simply do this: Be still, and lay aside all thoughts of what you are and what God is; all concepts you have learned about the world; all images you hold about yourself. ²Empty your mind of everything it thinks is either true or false, or good or bad, of every thought it judges worthy, and all the ideas of which it is ashamed. ³Hold onto nothing. ⁴Do not bring with you one thought the past has taught, nor one belief you ever learned before from anything. ⁵Forget this world, forget this course, and come with wholly empty hands unto your God.

Lesson 221

Peace to my mind. Let all my thoughts be still.

1. Father, I come to You today to seek the peace that You alone can give. ²I come in silence. ³In the quiet of my heart, the deep recesses of my mind, I wait and listen for Your Voice. ⁴My Father, speak to me today. ⁵I come to hear Your Voice in silence and in certainty and love, sure You will hear my call and answer me.

2. Now do we wait in quiet. ²God is here, because we wait together. ³I am sure that He will speak to you, and you will hear. ⁴Accept my confidence, for it is yours. ⁵Our minds are joined. ⁶We wait with one intent; to hear our Father’s answer to our call, to let our thoughts be still and find His peace, to hear Him speak to us of what we are, and to reveal Himself unto His Son.
