Messages & Miracles~ACIM~ Lesson 84

Alive Alive Alive~ Magic and Incredible, it is to BE alive! In the presence of only Love. Today, our journey continues with the same message, as it is but the most powerful message, I can feel it! Let Your Soul Dance today!

Along the walk in A Course in Miracles, somewhere in the thoughts that held us back in doubt and fear, we begin to forget and we start to remember. We start to remember who we are & we begin to truly believe. We begin to see the world come towards us as we create our own journey. This is Faith; truly believing that that which we seek, will be delivered.

Let Go & Let God.

Into His presence and into Our Renewal, we begin to truly trust and believe that we are supported. That we are loved. That we are connected.  That we are love. We all are. Simple Concept, Simple Rule.

Let Go & Let God.

Powerful message. I loose the world from all I thought it was. As I loosen the chains and the grips that bound; I begin to remember. I begin to trust. I begin to see the world as I know it to be. I Let Go & Let God. 

This is the only message for today and it is not in À Course of Miracles`, it`s in our Hearts. Sit with it. Sit in the Presence of Him. Sit in the Presence of You. You are One. 

 For todays lesson, `be still for 10 minutes today, remembering.  Quiet your mind and remember by saying, 

I loose the world from all I thought it was. As I loosen the chains, and the grips that bound me;  I begin to remember. I begin to trust. I begin to see the world as I know it to be. I Let Go & Let God.  I begin to see the world as I know it to be. I Let Go & Let God. Into His presence and into My Renewal, I trust. I Let Go & Let God.

Throughout the day, continually, as often as you want, for it will bring you peace, remember,

Let Go & Let God.

In Love, Peace, Happiness & Joy, we are all connected, Lori-Lynn

Messages & Miracles~ACIM~ Lesson 83

Today begins with a reflection from yesterday, Into His Presence I enter. With the Light I walk as One.  Together we go in Peace & Love. To being the day with a meditation that settles me into this awareness; my place of Peace and Love. Our world can change with a blink of an eye, with a flicker of a thought.

I went for a walk, as I often do, to find clarity of my thoughts. This course is a new way of thinking, understanding and accepting. It is a breath that we knew existed, but were not taught. Its one that offers the gift of presence, peace, love, and happiness, based on love.

As I was settling into my walk yesterday, I was reflecting on how difficult it is, at times, to be present when there are so many stressors the continue to weigh on my mind. I have been seeking change, wanting this, and at other times pleading for that; so what am I to learn?  As I walked, I reminded myself , 'I am Here,' and as I did so, I glanced up at the sun, the clouds and the beautiful sky above and was instantly reminded to be grateful for the experience of this exact moment. I continued to look around at all I was experiencing and I gave thanks for all that I saw, the blessings and the beauty around me. Each time a thought wondered ahead or behind, I brought it back and gave thanks. When I arrived home, I gave thanks for the food that I was about to prepare; thankful that I had food to prepare. I worked in every moment to be present and grateful for that moment, feeling blessed. 

There is lots that I do not have, lots that I could regret, lots that I wish I had, lots that I strive to have; but the greatest and most important awareness is, that I began to understood, is that I do HAVE and I am so very grateful for the gifts that I have received. We have been taught to look ahead and look behind, to compare and to compete. We have been taught through another's experience of a rise and fall, to match a perceived  level of human growth and awareness. We have been taught to fear, to judge, to doubt and even in cases, to hate. Today, I reflected and chose to Step outside the Ego and the untruths that we so often tell ourselves. That which becomes our reality. I chose to be still in this moment to reflect, and to be present.

How do you feel, in this moment? What do you feel, in this moment? What are you grateful for?  The time has come to rid the past and the future thoughts of the insecurity, blame, & doubt. This can only be done by embracing the present moment, fully.  Leave the past teachings behind and begin a journey of love.

Collectively, we can make a difference.

A Course in Miracles~ Lesson 83~ I loose the world from all I thought it was.

What keeps the world in chains but your beliefs? And what can save the world except your Self? Belief is powerful indeed. The thoughts you hold are mighty, and illusions are as strong in their effects as is the truth. Each man thinks the world he sees is real, and does not doubt it; nor can he be swayed by questioning his thoughts' effects; until there is change. It is but when their source is raised to question that the hope of freedom comes at last.

Yet is freedom from the chains easily achieved, for anyone is free to change his mind, and all his thoughts change with it. With today's lesson,  the source of thought begins its shift, for to change your mind means you have changed the source of all ideas you think or ever thought or yet will think. You free the past from what you thought before. You free the future from all ancient thoughts of seeking what you do not want to find.

The present now remains the only time. Here in the present is the world set free. For as you let the past be lifted and release the future from your ancient fears, you find escape and give it to the world. You have enslaved the world with all your fears, your doubts and miseries, your pain and tears, and all your sorrows press on it, and keep the world a prisoner to your beliefs.

The world is nothing in itself. Your mind must give it meaning. And what you behold upon it are your wishes, acted out so you can look on them and think them real. Perhaps you think you did not make the world, but came unwillingly to what was made already, hardly waiting for your thoughts to give it meaning. Yet in truth you found exactly what you looked for when you came. 

There is no world apart from what you wish, and herein lies your ultimate release. Change but your mind on what you want to see, and all the world must change accordingly. Ideas leave not their source. This central theme is often stated in the text, and must be borne in mind if you would understand the lesson for today. It is not pride which tells you that you made the world you see, and that it changes as you change your mind.

But it is pride that argues you have come into a world quite separate from yourself, impervious to what you think, and quite apart from what you chance to think it is.  Healing is the gift of those who are prepared to learn there is no world as we see and come to know it.  And if it is indeed your own imagining, then you can loose it from all things you ever thought it was by merely changing all the thoughts that gave it these appearances. 

A lesson earlier repeated once must now be stressed again, for it contains the firm foundation for today's idea. You are as God created you. To free the world from every kind of pain is but to change your mind about yourself. There is no world apart from your ideas because ideas leave not their source, and you maintain the world within your mind in thought. Yet if you are as God created you, you cannot think apart from Him. Timelessness and Love are inherent in all of us. It was His Thought by which you were created, so it is your thoughts which made it and must set it free, that you may know the Thoughts you share with God.

Today we seek to release the illusions. We loose the world on this day from every one of our illusions, so that we may be free. Begin the fifteen-minute periods in which we practice twice today with this:

'I who remain as God created me would loose the world from all I thought it was.  I loose the world from all I thought it was and choose my own reality instead.' 

Then merely rest, alert but with no strain, and let your mind in quietness be changed so that the world is freed, along with you. You need not realize that healing comes to many near and far, as you send out these thoughts to bless the world. You will sense your own release, although you may not fully understand as yet that you could never be released alone.

Throughout the day, increase the freedom sent through your ideas to all the world, and say whenever you are tempted to deny the power of your simple change of mind:

I loose the world from all I thought it was, and choose my own reality instead. I would know my own reality.

Blessings, in truth, love, & light, lori

Messages & Miracles~ACIM~ Lesson 82

Dear God♡ today, I ask for two things. Peace & the Miracle.

And I woke up to a magnificent day. The sun was shining brightly upon my face through my window. Its warmth and beauty was energizing. Afterwards, I stepped out for a moment and as I did so, an Eagle soared just above me. This is Peace. This is the Miracle.

I have learned over the past couple of days that it is important to embrace every emotion that comes my way. Each emotion is valid. I have also learned that each emotion has an attachment to it. When we embrace an emotion, just as it is, it acknowledges our truth. When sitting with the emotion, sit with only it, breathe into and feel it it as you inhale. Then exhale it on the out~breathe. Focus on this, rather than complicating it with other thoughts and stories; just allow it to be~ Do this for a couple of breaths, as you begin to calm and quiet your mind, followed by a deep and relaxing breath of love. Send this breath down to the area, allowing it to settle. Gently breathe outwards again, picking up new breath, the breath of peace. Carry this breath inward, to the area, and feel as it settles inward. Exhale a relaxing breath. Do this for as long as you can♡ Feel the peacefulness, feel the calm.  And from this place, begin the day. It's to this place that we need retreat to make sense of our feelings and our next step. All of this begins with this moment.

Moving forward on a Gentler, Kinder, more Compassionate, Loving Day♡ because that's the way days were meant to be♡ and from this place, my lesson I choose....

A Course in Miracles~ My Lesson 82~ Into His Presence would I enter now. 

Into His Presence would I enter now. 

This is a day of silence and of trust. It is a special time of promise in your calendar of days. It is a time Love has set apart to shine upon, and cast a timeless light upon this day, when echoes of eternity are heard. This day is holy, for it ushers in a new experience; a different kind of feeling and awareness. You have spent long days and nights in celebrating death (that which is not true, but rather learned in fear). Today you learn to feel the joy of life.

This is another crucial turning point. We add a new dimension now; a fresh experience that sheds a light on all that we have learned already, and prepares us for what we have yet to learn. It brings us to the door where learning ceases, and we are to catch a glimpse of what lies past the highest reaches it can possibly attain. It leaves us here an instant, and we go beyond, sure of our direction and our only goal.

Today it will be given you to feel a touch of this Love. You have come far enough along the way to alter time sufficiently, to rise above its laws, and walk into eternity for but a while. This you will learn to do increasingly, as every lesson, faithfully rehearsed, brings you more swiftly to this holy place and leaves you, for a moment, to your Self.

Connect with the Divine Spirit, for He will direct your practicing today; for what you ask for now is what He wills. And having joined your will with His this day. What you are asking must be given you. Nothing is needed but today's idea to light your mind, and let it rest in still anticipation and in quiet joy, wherein you quickly leave the world behind.

From this day forth, your love takes on a genuine devotion, and a glow that travels from your fingertips to those you touch, and blesses those you look upon. A vision reaches everyone you meet, and everyone you think of, or who thinks of you. For your experience today will so transform your mind that it becomes the touchstone from which you connect. Your body will be blessed today, its only purpose being now to bring the vision of what you experience this day to light the world.

Today we will embark upon a course you have only dreamed of.  Be One with Spirit. Connect with Spirit. Into His Presence You enter now.

Enter into the Presence of Life & Love;  the Giver of the happiness and dreams of life. Translate perception into truth; this journey of love which you make and start today, with the experience this day holds out to you to be your own.

Into the Divine Spirit's Presence will we enter now, serenely unaware of everything except His shining face and perfect Love. 

The vision of His face will stay with you. This you will never teach, for you attained it not through learning. Yet the vision speaks of your remembrance of what you knew that instant, and will surely know again.

Go at Peace, in this Moment. Spend Moments in this Place today♡ Remembering♡ Lori-Lynn

Messages & Miracles~ACIM~ Lesson 81~ The Gift & Pride of the Lion

The Gift & Pride of the Lion~   

Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love. 

The real miracle is the love that inspires them.

Rest in Peace & Love Cecil, God Bless

Yesterdays lesson is worth repeating, bringing with it a new message and awareness. Perhaps the message need be repeated even for several days, to allow it to absorb, to settle in, and to then fully embrace it's full effects & meaning in our lives. This comes upon the heals of a Blue Moon, right on schedule. (sigh and smile).

 
The news reports of late have brought forth such a conscious awareness & tie in with our lessons. The 'little white lie' or exaggeration has become the big red mark on the lives of many. Those that we hold high upon a pedestal have come crashing down before our eyes.  We have reached our hour of truth; that all the world IS a stage. We can no longer hide, push away, or ignore this. It's come a time when wounds have been (and will continue to be) opened wide and, in many cases, the truth revealed in a manner in which we never thought possible.  Accountability and Truth is about to take Centre Stage.  If this is Cecil’s legacy , so be it a beautiful gift to give to the world. So incredibly saddened that it had to come to this, but acknowledging the gift of this beautiful, incredible creature. 

( paraphrased from CWG) 'Many in our society are satisfied with a world in which survival is for the fittest, one where 'might is right,' competition is required & a necessity, and winning is seen as 'the highest good'. Winning at all cost (too many casualties to count).  Most people today are satisfied with a world in which differences, not similarities, are honored, and disagreements are settled by conflict and war.  Most people are satisfied, even though such a model produces people who are often killed when they are judged 'wrong,' starved and rendered homeless when they are 'losers,' oppressed and exploited when they are not 'strong. Most people define 'wrong' as that which is different from them. Religious differences, in particular, are not tolerated, nor are many social, economic, or cultural differences.

Most people do not see that they are destroying their Earth, the very planet which gives them Life, because their actions seek only to enhance their quality of life, their immediate gratification, without consequence. Amazingly, they are not far-sighted enough to observe that short-term gains can produce long-term losses, and often do; and will continue to do so.

Most people are threatened by group consciousness, a concept such as the collective good, a one-world overview, or a God who exists in unity with all creation, rather than separate from it. Unaware that this only produces division, disharmony, and discord. Perplexed by the state, but unaware. Many do not seem to have the ability even to learn from their own experience, out of fear and ego, and so continue on with these behaviors, with the same results. Perplexed, of course, but with the same results.

The inability to experience the suffering of another as one’s own is what allows such suffering to continue. Separation breeds indifference, false superiority. Unity produces compassion, genuine equality.  The events which occur on our planet, which have occurred regularly for 3,000 years, are, a reflection of the Collective Consciousness of 'US, the Whole'  the whole lot of us on this planet called home. That level of consciousness could best be described as primitive.' (end of paraphrase CWG)

The whole world is a stage and one might say that we are exactly where we need to be, to be accountable, and to then bring forth change. Amen.

The Gift & Pride of the Lion~Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love. The real miracle is the love that inspires them. Let us now go back to the love. Not the fear, anger, hatred, or the separation; that is what got us here. It's time to move forward in light and in love. Let us us this legacy in the name of love.  Not in  hatred or in fear, but rather a matter of education, awareness and accountability. With this let's go back to the simplicity once again. Let us begin the healing process.... and the Truth will bring us Freedom. ... and let it begin with Me.

My Course in Miracles~ Lesson 81~ Let me remember I am one with God. Everything I touch takes on a shining light that blesses and that heals.'

Where darkness was I look upon the light. Father, our eyes are opening at last. Your holy world awaits us, as our sight is finally restored and we can see. We thought we suffered. But we had forgot the Son whom You created for us to see. Now we see that darkness is our own imagining, and light is there for us to look upon. Let us see that  fear must disappear when love has come. Let me forgive Your holy world today, that I may look upon its holiness and understand it but reflects my own. 

Our Love awaits us as we go to Him, and walks beside us showing us the way. He fails in nothing. He the End we seek, and He the Means by which we go. 

Love & Light, Lori~Lynn Rest in peace, Magnificent Cecil, rest in peace.

Messages & Miracles~ACIM~Lesson 80~ This is Peace.

I awoke today allowing myself to find peace. My first awareness. And as I did so, my thoughts took me to question, 'what does this peace mean.' I searched my mind for answers and explanations, seeking to define what this looks like, so that I can know what it looks like and what it feels like. What would this peace feel like.

The goal is peace. It can be ever-changing, but the goal is peace. A Peace Within that knows that whatever I choose.... hmmmm... today I will think on this....

After these past years, peace, for me, means an unconscious place within that is content just being alive to experience life. It is loving and aware, alive with excitement, knowing that there is so much out there in the world for each and every one of us to explore. Its being able to give to others without restriction. It's allowing myself to be and to experience every beautiful aspect of every single moment of the day, and seeking to discover more. It's knowing that with every decision, choice, and action, comes an effect, and that this is part of that discovery and life itself is about. And that when we come to that effect or consequence, that we take a deep breath inward, connect with  our inner knowledge once again, and make a new decision, choice, and action plan. And this is all done with the integrity of the situation, rather than the hidden meaning or intent. Its finding our truth within, a gentle and loving honesty that allows. Just allows us to be.

To be quiet and still, in this fast paced world. What if we saw within each and every person their unique gift. What would this look like, how would this feel.  What if, upon meeting someone for the first time, we stopped and met with their soul, their inner being. What if we felt them. What if we recognized, saw, and felt their spirit first rather than our reflection of our self, our ego, our fears and judgement.

What if, upon birth, we asked to recognize and see the spark of beauty within each individual and work towards nurturing this. What if we all had the same opportunity to be the best 'me' that we could all be. What if this was the most important role as a parent.

Crazy crazy thoughts today. Merely a day of wondering; allowing my mind to create its next thought and to take each one on a journey of discovery. What if? and What would that look like?

Where has this taken me to today? To God. Let me remember I am one with God. And in this I will settle in Peace. I am safe. Today we will remember once again our Identity in God. This is our place of peace; connected. Here our home is safe, protection guaranteed in all that we do. Power and strength is available to us in all our undertakings.

With this, we can fail in nothing. Everything we touch takes on a shining light that blesses and it heals. As one with God and with the universe we go our way rejoicing, with the thought that God Himself goes everywhere with us.

And so each morning, go to this place of Peace, to wonder, to remember. 

A Course in Miracles~ Lesson 80~ Let me remember I am one with God. Everything I touch takes on a shining light that blesses and it heals.

Let me remember I am one with God. Today we will again give thanks for our Identity in God. Our home is safe, protection guaranteed in all we do, power and strength available to us in all our undertakings. We can fail in nothing. Everything we touch takes on a shining light that blesses and that heals. As one with God and with the universe we go our way rejoicing, with the thought that God Himself goes everywhere with us. Sit with this today.

How holy are our minds. Everything we see reflects the holiness within the mind at one with God and with itself.  How easily do errors disappear, and death give place to everlasting life. Our shining footprints point the way to truth, for God is our Companion as we walk the world a little while. And those who come to follow us will recognize the way because the light we carry stays behind, yet still remains with us as we walk on.  This, is peace.

What we receive is our eternal gift to those who follow after, and to those who went before or stayed with us a while. And God, Who loves us with the equal love in which we were created, smiles on us and offers us the happiness we gave. This is peace.

Today we will not doubt His Love for us, nor question His protection and His care. No meaningless anxieties can come between our faith and our awareness of His Presence. We are one with Him today in recognition and remembrance. We feel Him in our hearts. Our minds contain His Thoughts; our eyes behold His loveliness in all we look upon. Today we see only the loving and the lovable. This is peace.

We see it in appearances of pain, and pain gives way to peace. We see it in the frantic, in the sad and the distressed, the lonely and afraid, who are restored to the tranquility and peace of mind in which they were created. And we see it in the dying and the dead as well, restoring them to life. All this we see because we saw it first within ourselves. There is only life.

No miracle can ever be denied to those who know that they are one with God. No thought of theirs but has the power to heal all forms of suffering in anyone, in times gone by and times as yet to come, as easily as in the ones who walk beside them now. Thoughts are timeless. This is peace.

We join in this awareness as we say that we are one with God. For in these words we say as well that we are saved and healed; that we can save and heal accordingly. We have accepted, and we now would give. For we would keep the gifts our Father gave. Today we would experience ourselves at one with Him, so that the world may share our recognition of reality. In our experience the world is freed. As we denied our separation from our Father, it is healed along with us.

Peace be to you today. Secure your peace by practicing awareness you are one with your Creator, as He is with you. Sometime today, whenever it seems best, devote a half an hour to the thought that you are one with God. 

There are no rules nor special words to guide your meditation. Trust God's Voice to speak as He sees fit today, certain He will not fail. Abide with Him, He will do the rest.

You may not be ready to accept the gain today, yet sometime, somewhere, it will come to you.  Perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, you will see your own transfiguration in the glass, a reflection of your love. When you are ready you will find it there, within your mind and waiting to be found.  Perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, you will look into this glass, and understand the sinless light you see belongs to you; the loveliness you look on is your own.

Todays lesson is your gift to God, seeking peace within yourself.  His return will be a sense of love you cannot understand, a joy too deep for you to comprehend, a sight too holy for the body's eyes to see. And yet you can be sure someday, perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, you will understand and comprehend and see.

Each hour, add further to the golden frame that holds the mirror offered to you today, by repeating to yourself:

Let me remember I am one with God, at one with all my brothers and my Self, in everlasting holiness and peace. 

Find your place of peace and go there often, in love and in light, peace within, Lori-Lynn

Messages & Miracles~ACIM~ Lesson 79

My Truth? I just want a better place to live. A better place for my nieces and nephews to live, for my granddaughter to express her love of life. A world where true happiness exists. One that includes the beauty that exists all around us. (Deep Breath) Fear and Ego are the chains that often bind us. Unraveling what we have been taught can take us on a magical journey. We cannot merely 'wish' it to be, we must begin living it; breathing it in. The greatest Love is within us all and connected to one another, connected to the Creator of all that is♡

The Atonement. Of the biggest hurdles that is discussed, lay Forgiveness♡ Perhaps this is why much of the world is in such a state. I'm not sure. What I do know is that we just have to start Being better people; individually & collectively. So much of this is the guilt, shame, & blame that goes around continually, like a side-circus in our hearts & our heads. We are all connected by Love. It's time to let go the load.

We have to quit asking for Forgiveness & start Forgiving ourselves. For what? Everything. All that is holding back who we truly are♡ All that is holding us back from shining our light from within♡

We are not owed anything. We are given the gift of a life. We are given the gift of Free Will, to do as we choose. Hand in hand, the truth of this reality really is. Because true forgiveness does not require carrying our burdens, guilt, shame, anger and fear around with us. I hear all too often that forgiveness does not mean forgetting. But really, if we are remembering (the opposite of forgetting), then we are carrying it around and not being present. Forgiveness, only makes us whole when we are able to fill the void; with love, compassion, awareness, & growth.

Look, God does not punish us. We punish us.  Daily, hourly, sometimes each minute by minute. The only way back to us is within; seeking, recognizing, teaching, learning; being responsible for self; your own thoughts, deeds, actions, reactions, and asking for clarity and truth, for the Highest & Greatest Good, without Ego; aligned with the Love of God. The justification of hatred can no longer be the motivator.

The Time has come for the Healing. Mind, Body, Spirit

All of these thoughts have led me back to asking for clarity in understanding the Atonement. To follow the Holy Spirit's guidance is to let yourself be absolved of guilt; this is the essence of the Atonement. It is the core of its being. The whole world we see reflects the illusion that we have created and aligned so tightly with.

The Atonement is to return our core and our escape from the fear. It is this that lets the memory of Love return to us; as our guiding force. Love. This is the space where healing begins. Healing and Atonement are not related; they are one.

When we talk of Miracles, we are taught that there is no order of difficulty. This is true because there are no degrees of Atonement. I do understand that this is a sometimes difficult pill to swallow; some pain appears difficult to let go of. Yet it is the one complete concept possible in this world, and it is the source of a wholly unified perception. Partial Atonement is a meaningless. 

Atonement is the Word of God. Today, we seek to Accept His Word. To accept Atonement and be healed. Accept His Word and what remains to make sickness possible? Accept His Word and every miracle has been accomplished. To forgive is to heal. Upon accepting the Atonement for oneself, what is there, then, that one cannot heal? What miracle can be withheld?

The progress of the teacher of God may be slow or rapid, depending on whether he recognizes the Atonement's inclusiveness, or for a time excludes some problem areas from it. In some cases, there is a sudden and complete awareness of the perfect applicability of the lesson of the Atonement to all
situations. Anywhere along the journey, the necessary realization of inclusiveness one may reach. If the way seems long, be content with each step taken and lesson learned; confident in your direction. 

That forgiveness is healing needs to be understood. The idea that a body can be sick is a central concept in the ego's thought system. A body that can order a mind to do as it sees fit could merely take the place of God. Certainly sickness does not appear to be a decision. Nor would anyone actually believe he wants to be sick. Perhaps he can accept the idea in theory, but it is rarely if ever consistently applied to all specific forms of sickness, both in the individual's perception of himself and of all others as well.

Nor is it at this level that the teacher of God calls forth the Miracle of Healing. He overlooks the mind and body, seeing only the face of God shining in front of him, correcting all mistakes and healing all perception.  Healing is the result of the recognition.

It is true of all things that God created. In it are all illusions healed. 

The offer of Atonement is universal. It is equally applicable to all individuals in all circumstances. And in it is this power to heal all individuals of all forms of sickness. A sick person perceives himself as separate from God. The Atonement asks us to recognize that what we now believes, have been taught, about ourselves is not the truth.

It is your forgiveness that must show others. Healing is very simple. Atonement is received and offered. Having been received, it must be accepted. Who can limit the power of God. Who, then, can say which one can be healed of what, and what must remain beyond God's power to forgive?

It is not up to us to set limits upon another, because it is not up to us to judge another. To judge another is to set limits. The Atonement asks for us to withdraws our judgment for all others,  accepting all as God created all. No longer do we stand apart from God, determining where healing should be given and where it should be withheld. Now can we say with God, 'This is my beloved brother, created perfect and forever so.'

Today, we recognize that there is only one Love, the Love of God. We also recognize that as we forgive another, we forgive ourselves. Keep this thought with you, saying each hour, bringing forth any situation or another that you have difficulty forgiving, repeating, 

'There is no love but God's. Atonement is the Word of God. All that I give is given to myself.'

Throughout the day, think of this often, breathing into the wound to heal itself.  Be Gentle and Kind today; forgiving self and forgiving others. We are all connected by Love. It's time to let go the load.

Messages & Miracles~ACIM~ Lesson 78

There is but One Moment. There is but One Breath. Here is that Moment & This is that Breath. I am Here♡

Being Present is a Gift. It is a consciousness way of Life. It is allowing for the Magic of this Moment. The more we try and control, the more that we are thrown into the lesson that we can only control this thought. This is why I believe Meditation is vitally important. It is a calm place of remembering that our Breath is always present. Always in the now. Learn to consciously & mindfully follow the flow and presence of your Breath.

Looking back, often brings a fear; looking forward may be anxiety, all to this moment of our breath. Enter into a calm, relaxed place. Know what you are feeling and honor it. Not as good or bad, just as; and then allow it to be.

The process, and it is a process, of seeing past the state of fear, anger, doubt, rejection, etc, begins with this moment, this thought, this idea, this opportunity. This is where we are seeking to be. To enter into a new way of consciousness; in line with our highest good, our Will & the Will of God, together, unified, as One.

A Course in Miracles~ Workbook Lesson 78~ Truth will correct what we have been taught in fear.

Can you imagine what a state of mind without illusions is? How it would feel? Try to remember when there was a time,--perhaps a minute, maybe even less--when nothing came to interrupt your peace; when you were certain you were loved and safe. Then try to picture what it would be like to have that moment be extended to the end of time and to eternity. Then allow this sense of quiet that you felt be multiplied a hundred times, and then be multiplied another hundred more. This, is that moment.

We are entering into a new awareness where we recognize the illusions and seek to retrain our conscious mind. To allow ourselves to recognize the illusions; which have been taught; allowing them to slowly vanish, leaving not a trace by which to be remembered. Without belief or breath, they have no life. And so they disappear to nothingness, and only truth remains. 



Without illusions there could be no fear, no doubt and no attack. When truth has come all pain is over, for there is no room for transitory thoughts and dead ideas to linger in your mind. Truth occupies your mind completely, liberating you from all beliefs in the ephemeral. They have no place because the truth has come, and they are nowhere. They can not be found, for truth is everywhere forever, now.

Truth stays exactly as it always was, to be depended on in every need, and trusted with a perfect trust.
Here is the gift of healing, for the truth needs no defense. Illusions can be brought to truth to be
corrected. Truth does not come and go nor shift nor change, in this appearance now and then in that, evading capture and escaping grasp. It does not hide. It stands in open light, in obvious accessibility. It is impossible that anyone could seek it truly, and would not succeed.

Today belongs to truth. Give truth its due, and it will give you yours. We merely ask for what belongs to us, that we may recognize it as our own. Today we practice on the happy note of certainty that has been born of truth. We are as certain of success as we are sure we live and hope and breathe and think. We do not doubt we walk with truth today, and count on it to enter into all the exercises that we do this day.

Begin by asking God that He be in your awareness as you go with Him. It is your Self you ask to go with you, and how could He be absent where you are? Truth will correct all errors in your mind which tell you you could be apart from Him. You speak to Him today, and make your pledge to let His
function be fulfilled through you. To share His function is to share His joy. His confidence is with you, as you say:

Truth will correct all errors in my mind, And I will rest in Him Who is my Self. 

Then let Him lead you gently to the truth, which will envelop you and give you peace so deep and tranquil that you will return to the familiar world reluctantly. Gladly look again upon the world; this  will bring the promise of the changes which the truth that goes with you will carry to the world.

In truth and in Love, LoriLynn
