Messages & Miracles~ ACIM~ Lesson 67

Today's lesson is difficult to locate. I do not feel guided nor inspired. I merely am, and so with this, I will type.  The one message that I am hearing over and over is, I am the light. I am within you. We are one light together. You are never alone, nor could you ever be. It was through your path, your journey of experiences, that found your way back to the light. But I have been with you always.

I chose to call these lessons, derived from A Course in Miracles, Messages & Miracles, as I knew that it had to be my story, my journey, in my own thoughts, messages and words. I also know that I was led to this course, as well another book in which I am reading. It feels like home, is the only way to describe the journey. I feels like coming home.  And so with this, I carry on with the message that speaks to me and share what I have learned.  The biggest of these lessons is to listen.

Be still and listen; not to your thoughts, but to your surroundings; the whisper of the wind, the rustle of the trees, the chirping of the birds, the crackle of thunder, the tap of the rain. Be still and listen; listen to the feelings of your heart, the quiet peacefulness of your mind. Here you will discover your truth.  Here you will find Me. The light has come.


A Course In Miracles; Lesson 67~ The light has come.

The light has come! Be at peace, in thought, deed, and action. Bring peace with you wherever you go. Being at peace, is a state of Being. The light has come. This is the light at the end of the tunnel in which we have awaited. We have discovered that rather than seeking outside of ourselves, miracles exists within us. The light is a whole new beginning.   

Today we celebrate our new beginning. It is a new era, in which a new world is born. We have left the old behind, forever grateful for its teachings. Today we see a new, brighter world, because we can see the light. The light exists within us.

Our exercises for today will be happy ones, in which we offer thanks for the passing of the old and the beginning of the new. Allow no shadows from the past to remain to darken our sight and hide the world forgiveness offers us. Today we will accept the new world as what we want to see; knowing that we will be given what we desire, if asked from a place of love and peace.

Twice today, allow for a longer practice period. Close your eyes and devote yourself to looking at the world that our forgiveness shows to us. Through true forgiveness, there is only love and peace. This is what we want to see, and only this.  Make this your purpose. Sight is given to us through true love.  

Choose not to see the ego's shadow on the world today or give the past any of your energy.  See only the light.  Begin the longer practice periods by telling yourself the joy in your release:

The light has come. I have forgiven the world. The light exists within me.

Keep a completely open mind, washed of all past ideas and clean of every concept you have made. You have forgiven the world today! You can look upon it now as you have never seen it before. 

You do not know yet what it looks like, and you calmly wait to have it shown to you. While you wait, repeat several times, slowly and in complete patience:

The light has come. I have forgiven the world. The light exists within me.

Beautiful. Know that your truth. Know that forgiveness entitles you to vision. The Holy Spirit never fails to give the gift of sight to the forgiving. Believe that He will not fail you now.

You have forgiven the world, and with it, left the darkness behind.  He will be with you as you watch and wait. He will show you what true vision sees. It is His Will that you have joined with yours. You have forgiven the world. Tell Him you know you cannot fail because you trust in Him. 

From this time forth you will see differently. You eyes are awakened, the light has come. In this moment, wait patiently for Him. He will be there.

The light has come. 

The shorter practice periods, practiced often throughout the day, will be joyful reminders of your release. Remind yourself every quarter of an hour or so that today is a time for special celebration. Give thanks for the Love of God. Rejoice in the power of forgiveness to heal your sight completely. Be confident that on this day there is a new beginning. What you experience and see will be a peaceful and loving existence.  During these practices, say:

The light has come. I have forgiven the world. The light resides in me.

Should you be tempted by anyone who seems to pull you back into darkness, say:

The light has come. I have forgiven you.

Today is dedicated to the tranquility in which God would have you be. Keep this in your awareness of yourself and see it everywhere today, as we celebrate the beginning of your vision and the sight of the real world, which has come to replace the unforgiven world you thought was real, and have learned now that it is not. It has been of your creation of illusions.

Today we bid our last farewell to the baggage and burdens, releasing them to forever float away. We are left with peace and love; and welcome the shimmering of the light.

Blessed Be, forever and always, Lori-Lynn
