Messages & Miracles~ACIM~Lesson 76

These last couple days I have embraced a new awareness; a new truth. I can say that I recognize like a long lost friend, to be truth. It is comforting and loving. It settles within and so much begins to make sense. What purpose would unhappiness and sorrow, pain and guilt serve if there were nothing more than merely life and death. (this is where the fear comes in, I am told, our separation from what we know deep within)

This screams loudly, there has to be more. There must be meaning. Or what is it all for. This makes sense of the senseless. 

I sit still and listen for the truth. So that I may know it completely. So that I may understand it wholly. So that I may embrace it. What, for me, God, Spirit Within, must I learn, share, acknowledge, bring forth into this day? This moment? What truth do I seek. I hear, 'Seek Kindness and Love today♡ Nothing more♡ Nothing less♡'

Bring darkness into light. Choose to Move away from what we have learned to be our truths. What we have learned out of fear. Choose to Move away from justifying our anger or hurt in someone else's experience. Their experience through our eyes, is not their experience. It's ours. 

We each have our own lessons to learn and experience's to embrace. Release the ties that are holding you back from experiencing ALL of this moment. Feel it, hold it, embrace it, and just allow it to be. Then release it to experience more. And do it in it the light, in God's arms of love.

 

Choose to see only love, experience; growth and forgiveness. Carry this deep within your being, deep within your heart, deep within your core, knowing that God is within us ALL; He is a part of us. And in this, we are supported and loved. In this space, we can see a different light, a brighter awareness, a new dawn. And know that those of us that stand in this space must hold this deep within our hearts to encompass the masses. 

Fight for your causes, stand true to your values and beliefs, but do so to bring an awareness, to bring another into the light, not push them further into darkness. Be the spark. That lights the flame. Of love. And Peace.

Short and sweet today, as it is a settling, an understanding, of more. So much of this goes back to forgiveness, and for me, what I have learned. Understanding is a true forgiveness, from a God-place of love, and it is beautiful & miraculous. That is the True Miracle in which I am seeking. Looking within self and seeing that we all do from what we have learned and believe, up to any point in our lives. All action and reaction comes from either a secure-state or fear-state of the love within ourselves. Growth and learning is continual. We get to change our minds, our thoughts, beliefs, what we stand for, what we don't understand... we get to. As we grow and seek new experiences.  It has taken me many years to truly understand this and more years to embrace, but so worth it! It is freeing!

Let me be still and listen to the truth. Let me be still and listen to the truth.

A Course in Miracles~ Lesson 76~ Let me be still and listen to the truth.

If you lay aside the ego's voice, however loudly it may seem to call, if you will not accept its petty gifts that give you nothing that you really want; if you will listen with an open mind, to what has not been told you, then you will hear the mighty Voice of truth, quiet in power and strong in stillness. 

Listen, and hear your God speak to you through His Voice, which silences the thunder of the meaningless, and shows the way to peace to those who cannot see. Be still today and listen to the truth. Be not deceived by voices of the past, which tell you they have found the source of life and offer it to you for your belief. Attend them not, but listen to the truth.

Be not afraid today to hear the many voices of the world. Walk lightly past their meaningless persuasion. Be still today and listen to the truth. Go past all things which do not speak of Him Who holds your happiness within His Hand, held out to you in welcome and in love. Hear only Him today. Hear one Voice.

Today the promise of God's Word is kept. Hear and be silent. He would speak to you. He comes with miracles a thousand times as happy and as wonderful as those you ever dreamed or wished for in your dreams. His miracles are true. They will not fade when dreaming ends. They end the dream instead; and last forever, for they come from God to All his Children. 

Prepare yourself for miracles today. Hear Him today, and listen to the Word which lifts the sadness that lies upon the earth, and wakes all those who sleep and cannot see. God calls to them through you. He needs your voice to speak to them. Hear Him today and offer Him your voice to speak to all who wait to hear the Word that He will speak today. 

Salvation and Love are here, and will today be given unto you. Listen today, and you will hear a Voice which will resound throughout the world, through you. The bringer of all miracles has need that you receive them first, and thus become the joyous giver of what you received.

Today we practice giving, but not the way you understand it, but rather as it is. Each hour's exercises should begin with this request for your enlightenment: 

I will be still and listen to the truth.

Ask and expect an answer. Your request is one whose answer has been waiting long to be received by you. Be still and listen to the truth today.

Let me be still and listen to the truth. God being Love is also Happiness. Therefore God's will for me if Happiness. I share God's Will of Happiness for me.  Let me be still and listen to the truth.

Your pain, your sorrow, your doubts, your longings, your fearful thoughts: they are not mistakes, and they aren't asking to be 'healed'. They are asking to be held. Here, now, lightly, in the loving, healing arms of present awareness (and love)…
