Wisdom of the Soul

Weekly meditation for contemplation
Recorded to YOUTUBE
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.

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
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)

Resist nothing

Weekly meditation for contemplation
Recorded to YOUTUBE

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.

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.3:4-6https://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
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.

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.

Trusting intuition!

Weekly meditation for contemplation
Recorded to YOUTUBE
We are living in a time right now on Earth like never before, and we are deeply letting go of the old system, the egoic failed system that hasn't worked for us. 
We are truly recognizing that we are powerless over this Human condition and this material Universe. 
The Divine Spirit is rebirthing itself like never before. 
This is a time of rebirth into a Life of inspiration and living in trusting Our~God/Higher Power, which blesses us all with intuition. God is Our Source, intuition is The Echo!
Intuition is meant to flourish not diminish. 
This is truly living, for it truly is effortless. 

First, house cleaning is necessary and the recognition of powerlessness over the things of this material Universe. The Higher Power is the All in All of Power, so the material realm has NO power, other than what we give it by falling asleep in the ego's dreaming. 

We are awakening to the Truth that there is something so much greater that has our higher interests and our good at hand and we can be "cared for" by this Divine Power/God. 
I recognize this happening in a way I have not seen before. 
How beautiful it is to be witness to this New Earth~NOW!

Once we can let go and expose the egoic system of illusions we can begin to move in a vital six sense which is meant to govern the five senses. 
It is vital to know and be aware of what the obstacles have been to The Presence of God.

When we confess out and reveal to ourselves, God and another person the exact nature of being identified with that which is false, we come into our natural resting place of what "we are". 

When we look at what we are not, what we are becomes available, and that is the perfect Love of Our Creator which remains unchangeable. 
Living by the gift of intuition is living in alignment with The Divine.

How can we trust this sacred Truth?
Trust God, Clean House, serve others, it works every time!


A Course in Miracles
²Miracles are seen in light.
³The body’s eyes do not perceive the light.
⁴But I am not a body. ⁵What am I?
⁶The question with which this statement ends is needed for our exercises today. ⁷What you think you are is a belief to be undone. ⁸But what you really are must be revealed to you.

~~~~~~~~~~~
⁵When I have forgiven myself and remembered Who I am, I will bless everyone and everything I see. ⁶There will be no past, and therefore no enemies. ⁷And I will look with love on all that I failed to see before. (ACIM, W-52.2:5-7)

Danced, breathed and moved by The Spirit

Weekly meditation for contemplation
Recorded to YOUTUBE

  When we rest in being danced, moved and breathed by The Spirit of Joy, Truth and Love, we are in Miracle mindedness. 
We can live resting in our Creator, being danced, being moved, being breathed in the flow of the Divine truth of who we are. 
Being in this world and not of this world we will find at times we fall prey to fear and misery let us remember we are not that. 

Pause, breathe, choose again, and choose only Love. 

In step two of 12-step recovery process, we find that we can be restored to sanity when we lean and rely on God, our Higher Power. 
Resting in our Higher Power, we can live a life of abundant Joy 
"NOW"

⁵The mind is very powerful, and never loses its creative force. ⁶It never sleeps. ⁷Every instant it is creating. ⁸It is hard to recognize that thought and belief combine into a power surge that can literally move mountains.

ACIM~Lesson 222
God is with me. I live and move in Him.
1. God is with me. ²He is my Source of life, the life within, the air I breathe, the food by which I am sustained, the water which renews and cleanses me. ³He is my home, wherein I live and move; the Spirit which directs my actions, offers me Its Thoughts, and guarantees my safety from all pain. ⁴He covers me with kindness and with care, and holds in love the Son He shines upon, who also shines on Him. ⁵How still is he who knows the truth of what He speaks today!

Choose again!

Weekly meditation for contemplation
Recorded~ available on YOUTUBE


Choose again until the Reality of no choice remains. Love which is all encompassing truly has no opposite. 
In this world there seems to be an idea a concept of two things going on. Ultimate Reality is "not two".

We either choose out of fear or we choose with love. 
So which is it? 
We are in the world but we are not of this world. 
In this world of appearing opposites it will be important and vital to direct our thought life into the Oneness of Love's Presence, into the Oneness with our Higher Power, God, whichever you may call it. 
Part of the experience here seems to be one of choosing and choosing again and then eventually choosing only love and understanding there really is nothing to choose, because Love is our existence. 

When we begin to wear this world lightly like a loose garment, there becomes an awareness that Perfect Love is all there is. 
The key is not to seek for love for that which we are cannot be sought. 
The real key is to seek for what we're not and expose the lie. 
Expose the false dependencies, expose the resentments, the angers, expose the feelings that seem to be buried deep down. 
Uncover-discover-discard and "forgive".
There is nothing (no-thing) to be ashamed of, nothing to be guilty over but merely to open up for it to be cleansed away washed clean and transformed into the supernatural peace that surpasses all human understanding. 
Choose again dear friend, we are in the world but not of the world. 
Choose again dear friend, until choice becomes unnecessary. 
Love is the only Reality and true vision which is breathing us in this "now moment".

2. Today we would remove all meaningless and self-made gifts which we have placed upon the holy altar where God’s gifts belong. ²His are the gifts that are our own in truth. ³His are the gifts that we inherited before time was, and that will still be ours when time has passed into eternity. ⁴His are the gifts that are within us now, for they are timeless. ⁵And we need not wait to have them. ⁶They belong to us today.
3. Therefore, we choose to have them now, and know, in choosing them in place of what we made, we but unite our will with what God wills, and recognize the same as being one. ²Our longer practice periods today, the hourly five minutes given truth for your salvation, should begin with this:
³I seek but what belongs to me in truth, and joy and peace are my inheritance.
⁴Then lay aside the conflicts of the world that offer other gifts and other goals made of illusions, witnessed to by them, and sought for only in a world of dreams.
4. All this we lay aside, and seek instead that which is truly ours, as we ask to recognize what God has given us. ²We clear a holy place within our minds before His altar, where His gifts of peace and joy are welcome, and to which we come to find what has been given us by Him. ³We come in confidence today, aware that what belongs to us in truth is what He gives. ⁴And we would wish for nothing else, for nothing else belongs to us in truth.
