As you are

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2I01F89JJc

"As you are" is unchangeable and eternal as God "IS". Our part is merely to release all obstacles that stand in the way of our oneness in God.  In our Holy Wholeness we go out to perform God's miracles.  True gratitude is for the Giver of miracles! A Course in Miracles The ego is a wrong-minded attempt to perceive yourself as you wish to be,  rather than as you are. Yet you can know yourself only as you are, because that is all you can be sure of. Everything else is open to question. T-3.IV.3:3-5 https://acim.org/acim/chapter-3/error-and-the-ego/en/s/74 A Course in Miracles Lesson 267 My heart is beating in the peace of God. 1. Surrounding me is all the life that God created in His Love. ²It calls to me in every heartbeat and in every breath; in every action and in every thought. ³Peace fills my heart, and floods my body with the purpose of forgiveness. ⁴Now my mind is healed, and all I need to save the world is given me. ⁵Each heartbeat brings me peace; each breath infuses me with strength. ⁶I am a messenger of God, directed by His Voice, sustained by Him in love, and held forever quiet and at peace within His loving Arms. ⁷Each heartbeat calls His Name, and every one is answered by His Voice, assuring me I am at home in Him. 2. Let me attend Your Answer, not my own. ²Father, my heart is beating in the peace the Heart of Love created. ³It is there and only there that I can be at home.

Absorbed in "Love"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wneDEeXQ0zs

Love created us lovable and loving. All that our Creator is~we are! The path is always one of subtraction, not addition. The simplicity of restoring us to oneness in God's Love is merely opening up to releasing egoic illusions. The first three steps in 12 step recovery are so powerfully profound and powerfully simple. Step-1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol — that our lives had become unmanageable. Step-2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. Step-3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him. A Course in Miracles Lesson 264 I am surrounded by the Love of God. 1. Father, You stand before me and behind, beside me, in the place I see myself, and everywhere I go. ²You are in all the things I look upon, the sounds I hear, and every hand that reaches for my own. ³In You time disappears, and place becomes a meaningless belief. ⁴For what surrounds Your Son and keeps him safe is Love itself. ⁵There is no source but this, and nothing is that does not share its holiness; that stands beyond Your one creation, or without the Love which holds all things within itself. ⁶Father, Your Son is like Yourself. ⁷We come to You in Your Own Name today, to be at peace within Your everlasting Love. 2. My brothers, join with me in this today. ²This is salvation’s prayer. ³Must we not join in what will save the world, along with us?

"Pause" pray-intuitively proceed

Weekly meditation for contemplation Recorded to YOUTUBE        https://youtu.be/eH6iPYQhiic       We will intuitively know what to do in situations that use to baffle us is a beautiful promise spoken about in the 9th step promise in recovery programs. When we go within (not out) and deep dive into the interior house cleaning we organically open up to God's guidance. Being a hollow bone for The Divine Spirit to move through us is also a life of intuitive living.  This 9th step promise that is spoken about in 12 step recovery has everything to do with resting in the "Pause".  The "Pause" is the place where we stop reacting, and breathe-pray-and than proceed.  This "Pause" in my view is a sacred space of resting in God and turning inward to listen to the stillness of the whispering Voice of Truth.  The vital key is stillness within the "Pause".  Intuition is born out of humility and an honest desire to carry out the appropriate action that is moved by The Divine! Having an interior experience of Grace and deep peace is a clear indication the correct answer has been given.  When we are being given Power to carry out Divine Will it is always intuitively inspired. "BE" still Trust the "Pause" and intuition will be there.  A Course in Miracles 6. Pause and be still a little while, and see how far you rise above the world, when you release your mind from chains and let it seek the level where it finds itself at home. ²It will be grateful to be free a while. ³It knows where it belongs. ⁴But free its wings, and it will fly in sureness and in joy to join its holy purpose. ⁵Let it rest in its Creator, there to be restored to sanity, to freedom and to love.

Wisdom of the Soul

Weekly meditation for contemplation

Recorded to YOUTUBE

       https://youtu.be/RkaeejzhVfM      

The wisdom of the Soul's Journey holds within it the original intention of what the Divine Creator designed us to be. I refer to it as the Souls Journey simply because it's something I'm oriented to. 

The idea of the Soul for me is the intuitive memory and knowledge of God's plan for us each at a deep individual level, and a collective and non separate one as well. It is also the relational nature we have in The Divine. For me it is The Divine intimate Dance with and in God.

There is a beautiful phrase near the end of step three in a book known as the 12 steps and the 12 traditions-pg 40. I will paraphrase it here by sharing that it suggests we have misused our will power instead of attempting to bring it into alignment with God's intention for us. I recognize this as living our Soul's purpose by our union in The Divine.

We eventually come to find out that desires and instincts have gone awry and we have been driven by a hundred forms of fear which created negative patterns in the mental activity and in our behaviors. 

So when we finally get in alignment with God's Power, the true intention of our Divine life comes alive and it is expressed here in our world,

how beautiful. 

The wisdom of the Soul is the wisdom of our purpose here and intuitively knowing, not from the head, but knowing in the depths of our own Heart and Soul what we are designed to express here. 

As the obstacles to love's Presence is transformed from fear to faith, trauma to healing, anger to forgiveness, illusions to Truth, what remains is the wisdom of The Soul. 

We will intuitively be moved into healthy right action.

A Course in Miracles

¹²“Many are called but few are chosen” should be, “All are called but few choose to listen.” ¹³Therefore, they do not choose right. ¹⁴The “chosen ones” are merely those who choose right sooner. ¹⁵Right minds can do this now, and they will find rest unto their souls. ¹⁶God knows you only in peace, and this is your reality.

Humility

Weekly meditation for contemplation Recorded to YOUTUBE        https://youtu.be/wi0Bec5W04E       Humility is simply being right sized with God/Higher Power. My favorite metaphor is the Divine Ocean of God has millions of ripples moving in it's graceful dance of Unity. Each ripple is unique and yet connected to all the other ripples by the Ocean it self. The vital point is that the ripples are NOT the Ocean.  Each ripple is the expression of it's Source.  Humility is a vital spiritual principle that keeps us remembering we are "being" moved in a Divine flow of love. Let go-let God! ~~~~~~~ A Course in Miracles Of your ego you can do nothing to save yourself or others, but of your spirit you can do everything for the salvation of both. ²Humility is a lesson for the ego, not for the spirit. ³Spirit is beyond humility, because it recognizes its radiance and gladly sheds its light everywhere. ⁴The meek shall inherit the earth because their egos are humble, and this gives them truer perception. (ACIM, T-4.I.12:1-4) https://acim.org/acim/chapter-4/right-teaching-and-right-learning/en/s/80 Material from A Course in Miracles is used with permission by the copyright holder and publisher, the Foundation for Inner Peace, 448 Ignacio Blvd-306 Novato, CA 94949, https://www.acim.org and info@acim.org, copyright ©1992, 1999, 2007.” Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7JIWxnjIqTotpkE96T1TcQ Love with passion Forgive to be forgiven Nanette 908~433~6254 http://www.nanettevictoria.com

Resist nothing

Weekly meditation for contemplation Recorded to YOUTUBE        https://youtu.be/EFKNcV56veQ       Resist not the uncomfortability that may arise in any given moment. Resist not the appearances that come and go in this world. Resist not emotional turbulence that arises from unconscious guilt.  Resist nothing, in Truth it is no-thing.  We often fight the shadows of anger, fear, resentment, inadequacies, and whatever egoic illusions arise.  This takes much energy and leaves us exhausted When we stop fighting and resisting and let go of the rope, The Higher Power flows through and gifts us with eternal strength to say no to where we need to, and yes where it is called for. In recovery we may refer to this as a step one-two-and three proposal! The best we can do in any given moment is to "watch-pray-breathe", step back and pause. Rest in the Loving embrace of God's Grace and simply look at that which is the untruth and the Truth arises like a radiant light, blazing through our entire being. Attach "only" to "The Divine" and detach from everything else.  Intuitively inspired answers will come in all areas of our life ! Be still. A Course in Miracles ⁴Errors of any kind can be corrected because they are untrue. ⁵When brought to truth instead of to each other, they merely disappear. ⁶No part of nothing can be more resistant to the truth than can another. (ACIM, T-23.II.3:4-6) https://acim.org/acim/chapter-23/the-laws-of-chaos/en/s/271 A Course in Miracles Lesson 109 I rest in God. 1. We ask for rest today, and quietness unshaken by the world’s appearances. ²We ask for peace and stillness, in the midst of all the turmoil born of clashing dreams. ³We ask for safety and for happiness, although we seem to look on danger and on sorrow. ⁴And we have the thought that will answer our asking with what we request. 2. “I rest in God.” ²This thought will bring to you the rest and quiet, peace and stillness, and the safety and the happiness you seek. ³“I rest in God.” ⁴This thought has power to wake the sleeping truth in you, whose vision sees beyond appearances to that same truth in everyone and everything there is. ⁵Here is the end of suffering for all the world, and everyone who ever came and yet will come to linger for a while. ⁶Here is the thought in which the Son of God is born again, to recognize himself.

Grace! A gift already given

Weekly meditation for contemplation Recorded to YOUTUBE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3vsfcRRcmk As we forgive all projections the self seemed to drive us with, the gift of Grace arises like a radiant light that blesses our entire vision. The vision of The perfect Love of our Home in God. In this Grace Everything melts into a pure unity of Divine peace. God does not need our permission, only our cooperation of release into The Mind of Christ. It is a letting go of what we are NOT. We are not the anger, insecurity, fear, resentment-etc, that seems to capture us.  Uncover-discover-discard and forgive will merely give way to TRUTH! We either choose to see with the lens of True Love, or fall down the rabbit hole seeing from seeming fear. I invite everyone to read October 7th in The Daily reflections (12 step recovery reading). The reading coincides perfectly with this weeks meditation. A Course in Miracles Lesson 169 By grace I live. By grace I am released. 1. Grace is an aspect of the Love of God which is most like the state prevailing in the unity of truth. ²It is the world’s most lofty aspiration, for it leads beyond the world entirely. ³It is past learning, yet the goal of learning, for grace cannot come until the mind prepares itself for true acceptance. ⁴Grace becomes inevitable instantly in those who have prepared a table where it can be gently laid and willingly received; an altar clean and holy for the gift. 2. Grace is acceptance of the Love of God within a world of seeming hate and fear. ²By grace alone the hate and fear are gone, for grace presents a state so opposite to everything the world contains, that those whose minds are lighted by the gift of grace can not believe the world of fear is real. (ACIM, W-169.1:1–2:2) https://acim.org/acim/lesson-169/by-grace-i-live-by-grace-i-am-released/en/s/575 A Course in Miracles 4. Put not your faith in illusions. ²They will fail you. ³Put all your faith in the Love of God within you; eternal, changeless and forever unfailing. ⁴This is the answer to whatever confronts you today. ⁵Through the Love of God within you, you can resolve all seeming difficulties without effort and in sure confidence. ⁶Tell yourself this often today. ⁷It is a declaration of release from the belief in idols. ⁸It is your acknowledgment of the truth about yourself.  (ACIM, W-50.4:1-8) https://acim.org/acim/lesson-50/i-am-sustained-by-the-love-of-god/en/s/452#4:1-8 Material from A Course in Miracles is used with permission by the copyright holder and publisher, the Foundation for Inner Peace, 448 Ignacio Blvd-306 Novato, CA 94949, https://www.acim.org and info@acim.org, copyright ©1992, 1999, 2007.” Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7JIWxnjIqTotpkE96T1TcQ Love with passion Forgive to be forgiven Nanette 908~433~6254 http://www.nanettevictoria.com
