When we seek out the bad in others, in a situation or experience, expecting to find it, we surely will. This seems to be a lesson that has increasingly become more of a socially fashionable lifestyle rather than an awareness. The truth is; I know that the bad and negative exists, for me, it is just not a focal point that I want or choose to dwell upon or expand on.
Again, today, I would say that much of this is a reflection of our pull away from God. I cannot see in any way, how it could bring us closer to. Too often, we forget to seek the balance. If everything is in accordance with our Free Will, than there is a major importance to what we have created, so the 'glad' must exist within it. Again, today, an Ahhhhhh moment.
To seek out the good, to find the good, brings me joy. When I seek the good, it allows me to see that there is a solution, because there is a place to go or a lesson to be learned. Perhaps we are to see and be made more aware of the many that are hurting, suffering, angry, calling out for help; because we continue to not see it as we are too often seeking out only the bad, expecting to find it; not the lesson or the growth. Those that we have perhaps given up on, those that are too far gone, those who have lost their way. To fully open our eyes to see the existence. To then seek the change.
So rather the existence of this in our lives is not to be pulled in the drama, but rather to bring awareness where we ourselves have become lost. If we see in these terms, with this awareness, it begins to makes sense to me. This has been created by us and the media has done us a favour by placing it upstage and centre for the whole world to take notice. The time has come to do this.To become accountable to what has been created. To break the chain and recreate the link with God; to see our truth and feel once again with our hearts. It's not that which God allows to happen or has done to us, it is that which we have forgotten.
By not stopping, we allow. Then we blame God for allowing.
It's time to remember. Remember who we truly are and what our role is. We need to remember that God is the light within us ALL, not merely a select chosen few. God has not let us down, as so many believe and pushes us further away; we have let ourselves down and don't want to be accountable. The only true 'evil' that exists is the darkness that is felt when we have closed ourselves off from the light within. The light of God.
Judgment. Much of what we have learned to focus on is judgment; beginning with judgment of self. It sometimes seems that much of what would make us joyful and filled with life, many teachings have placed in the realm of sin. If you think about how wrong this is, it is actually hilarious. Life is to experience joy and happiness, free of fear, ego, and judgment. We were created with the Freedom of Will. The awareness is to shift the accountability to our own Free Will, one that is connected to the Love and Will of God.
We are accountable. For every aspect of our lives; our choices, our decisions, our thoughts, feelings, and expressions. Allowing the door to be opened to sanction forth the light of God into our hearts, minds, and soul; to shine brightly from within. God IS the mind with which I think. To know this without bringing forth judgment or ego, only love.
A Course in Miracles ~ Lesson 45~ God is a part within my Mind with which I think.
Today's idea holds the key to discovering your truth. Perception has become so real that we have forgotten that truth even exists. Nothing that you think you see, bears any resemblance to what true vision will show you.
To once again think with your mind and the Mind of God as one. Therefore you share your thoughts with Him, as He shares His with you. They are the same thoughts, because they are thought by the same Mind. To share is to make alike, or to make one. They are in your mind, where He is also.
As you are part of His Mind, so are your thoughts part of His Mind.
Today we will attempt to reach your real thoughts. Fortunately, they must still be there, as they cannot have left their source. They are just forgotten.
Remembering. We will use the same general form as was used in applying yesterday's idea, with three five-minute practice periods. We will attempt to leave the unreal and seek for the real. We will deny the world in favor of truth. We will not let the thoughts of the world hold us back. We will not let the beliefs of the world tell us that what God would have us do is impossible.
Rather, we will try to recognize that only what God would have us do is possible. We will also try to understand that only what God would have us do is what we want to do, with the mindfulness that we cannot fail in doing what He would have us do. There is every reason to feel confident that we will succeed today. It is the Will of God.
Begin the exercises for today by repeating the idea to yourself, closing your eyes as you do so. Then spend a fairly short period in thinking a few relevant thoughts of your own, keeping the idea in mind. After you have added some four or five thoughts of your own to the idea, repeat it again and tell yourself gently:
My real thoughts are in my mind. I would like to find them.
Then seek to go past all the unreal thoughts that cover the truth in your mind; to reach the real truth. Open your mind and your heart to shed light on the truth. Under all the senseless thoughts and crazy ideas with which we have kept cluttered in our minds are the thoughts that we, until this moment, thought were consistent with our God Thoughts. They are there in your mind now, completely unchanged. They will always be in your mind, exactly as they always were. But the gate was closed. It's time to open the gate.
This is the Foundation for today's lesson. Here, with your mind joined with the Mind of God. Here, with your thoughts one with His. This is the place you are trying to reach, opening within. You may recognize at this time how 'high' you are trying to go; to the height of pure truth and light.
When practicing throughout the day, try to remember how important it is to you to understand the holiness of your mind and the connection of this with God's mind. Take a minute or two, as you repeat the idea throughout the day, to appreciate your mind's holiness. Stand aside, however briefly, from all thoughts of judgment and ego. End the thoughts with gratitude; thanking God for the thoughts He is thinking with you and the place of truth that this brings you to.
With this awareness brings a new, greater reality; a bolder truth. Happiness and love today♡ Lori-Lynn
