Each experience is given meaning by us, on an individual basis, by how we think of them, what we think of, how we respond, and choose to take action towards them. Rather than, 'what am I to learn from this,' move to 'what experience do I choose from this situation.'
Events are opportunities drawn to us, brought forth & created by us, individually, through our consciousness. This is also true on a collective basis. We summon into our existence opportunities to raise our consciousness; always moving us closer to remembering who we are. This is seen with a new awareness & clarity when we look at our community laws or rules of the church; they show to us how we are continually evolving. We are continually rationalize the need to make up new rules as we go along, to suit our purpose and our experiences. Until the need changes again.
Where is this coming from? you might ask. Just my thought process & awareness of today. I have always been curious, always known that there is more; more than what we allow, more than the rules allow. Many rules set up barriers that halt us from experiencing; often from what we need to experience to grow and move forward. So we break the rules to learn and experience more. Life is a process of continual creation; taking us back to our core. Discovering & learning what we truly want; finding our who we are, at our core. Part of this process is discovering what we don't want, & finding out who we are not. Finding a love within that is far greater than we ever imagined possible.
For me, this has been my journey that tugged at me for too long, nudged at me, almost continually, until I took the guided action that we required. I am stronger, wiser, more secure & confident, and in a different manner than anticipated. It is gentle and loving. I have learned to live in the Now; continually & mindfully choosing.
My experience has brought me closer to the world in which I always thought possible, but feared. Most feared standing outside of the crowd, the popular, the norm. But through my experience, I have consciously brought forth into my reality others who match my consciousness. This has served to enhance my experience by seeing new & different perspectives.
I know of the struggles that brought me to this place. Struggles that I set up as barriers to keep me 'safe.' I can also see now the opportunities that were placed in my path, for my benefit and growth. I am aware now that it was my consciousness continually working to 'get my attention,' seeking to be, always, who I know I am.
I began this page as an honest expression of my journey. Through this journey, many of my greatest fears have come to pass. Those who want to (or choose to) be a part of, and learn a better understanding of themselves, their own experience, and the creation of those experiences, will continue alongside, picking and choosing what they need, as a part of their own experience. Those who have not yet come to this place, will choose to ridicule, mock, judge, argue, challenge, fight, or pull away from. That's completely okay. This only serves to strengthen my awareness. This, is who I am, and I know, with a completeness, that we are all here to discover our own truth.
Once you know it; your truth; Live It♡
A Course in Miracles~ Lesson 71~ The Miracle is always there. The Light has come. I am at Peace. Nothing can disturb me.
In true consciousness, you are healed and you have the opportunity to heal with each experience. The light has come and you are at peace. You have the opportunity to bring this peace with you wherever you go. The light brings peace to the darkness. The truth bring peace to your truth.
Today we celebrate. Our thoughts are consistent with our truth, with who we are meant to be, leading us to new experiences and opportunities. A re-newed existence is brought forth. The old one has been shed. Today we see a different world, through different eyes, because the light has come.
Our exercises for today will be joyful, offering gratitude and giving thanks; for the passing of the old and the beginning of the new. Focus on that which you have learned, seeing that through the lessons that you are able to move forward with fewer or no shadows from the past. See the gifts that the world of forgiveness has offered to you; see how far it has taken you. Look back at the world that your forgiveness shows to you. This is what you want to see today; the many gifts. Accept this new awareness, mindful of the peacefulness it carries within it. At the end of the exercise, repeat;
The Miracle is always there. The Light has come. I am at Peace. Nothing can disturb me.
Dwell not upon the past today in any manner. You have forgiven the world. You can look upon it now as if you never saw it before. The light has come. You are at peace. Nothing can disturb you. You have learned to trust. The Miracles is always there.
Throughout the day, remind yourself that today is a time for special celebration. Give thanks and rejoice in the power of forgiveness. Be confident that on this day there is a new beginning. Without the darkness of the past through forgiveness, the light has come and you are able to see with a greater awareness. And what you see is excitedly welcome. You will gladly extend today forever. Say, then:
The light has come. I have forgiven the world.
Should you be tempted, say to anyone who seems to pull you back into darkness:
The light has come. I have forgiven. I am at Peace. Nothing can disturb me. The Miracle is always there.
Keep it in your awareness of yourself and see it everywhere today, as you 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.
Breathe, with love, kindness, forgiveness, and hope, delight in today, Lori-Lynn
