Messages & Miracles~ACIM, Lesson 95~ Principle No Seven

Great Day♡ I put a great deal of thought into my daily card pick today and I believe that it will also serve to reference today's principle. The more I learn, the more that I understand that I need to learn more.

I have been saying that a great change is a-happening. I know, also, that this change is wrapped in love, for only pure love will set us free. My message continued into today, with Paradigm Shift as my pick. The message read as,

'Freedom from the Box♡ we are Limited only by our Thoughts♡ There is a sudden and trans-formative shift in our awareness today; this focus shifts our Paradigm to that in which a major conflict is instantly understood, and with this personified. Perhaps unexpectedly, yet excitedly, we see and/or understand events and/or circumstances differently,with a fresh appreciation. This is the result of successful study and dedication to learning, discovering, which bring with it merit. A thought wave instantly awakens within us the concept of how our thoughts have been limiting us; how we have been caught up in or trapped, in the typical or mundane; the patterns that we have willingly and yet unconsciously merely traveled along. There is no box.

This Transformation is life changing♡ as we unexpectedly, and yet consciously, alter how we perceive. We allow ourselves to see each experience on its own merit, rather than comparing or judging it with another. Our lives are forever altered as the spectrum is expanded, renewed in each moment, in each experience; choosing wisely, consciously, with clarity, balanced, and aligned with Spirit. From Love and to experience more and more fully.

So understand that it is up to you to shed the fear, shed the doubt, not up to another to protect you and make you feel safe. In an instant, you see that there is no box and in seeing this, you surround yourself with love. You feel what you know and know what you feel. You Embrace this. You Expand your opportunity.

Which brings me to Principle Number Seven~ Miracles are everyone's right, but purification is necessary first.

I do believe that my message for today personifies this principle. There is no box, we don't live outside of it, because it does not exist. The box is an illusion. Once we see this, it awakens a gift within us. To experience as much as possible, each experience to its fullest extent; in the name of love. Herein lies the key. In the name of Love.

The purification is taking that full, deep breath, understanding that there is no box, and that fear, doubt, worry only take away from. Side with Love and with God, together,  unified, as One. Expand this outwards and see the full connection to that and those around you. What a magnificent awareness; that the Connection that is mapped in love. This is the purification.  Miracles are everyone's right. Know this. Feel this. Transform this principle within.

Sit with this today, for a full length of time to understand. Bring forth as many incredible, beautiful opportunities and experiences; miracles. with love, laughter, joy, and light, Lori-Lynn

Messages & Miracles~ACIM, Lesson 94~ Principle No Six

The world in which we live, the world, as we know it, is about to change. Fear, Oh Fear, why do you awaken within me. To learn but a lesson and to free your soul♡

Re-learning what many of us have been taught from a very young age, is a process. It doesn't usually happen over night and not all at once, but once it begins, the revelations are incredible and looking back is not an option.  Each step forward brings forth more love♡
 
The very first step is to throw out the word 'blame,' in fact, delete it from your mental library. Blame blocks us from taking responsibility in our own progress. It does not mean that you are responsible for what happen to you, it means that you are responsible for each step and thought in which you take forward.  

In a world that far to often seeks to discover who, by pointing fingers, rather than understanding the truth of the circumstances, rarely moves into the change. It happened. What happened may have been horrible. So horrible, as one client confessed yesterday to me, so horrible, that no child should ever have to witness or experience such things. This breaks my heart, to have had to experience such things, I cannot imagine. I cannot know. She is correct, nobody should have to. ever.  But to experience more, all of life's miracles, all of her potential, all that she truly wants, is to accept the gift of love back into your heart.

The gift is to embrace the pain, embrace the feelings. Acknowledge the pain, and the sorrow, acknowledge the hand in which another may have played. Acknowledge it, honor it, feel it, sit with it, be angry at it, respect it, and then release it. Release it to allow.  Stand Up as the Creator of Your Life, Your Journey♡ Release it to allow the love in.

Each step, as we move forward, brings forth new awareness, new love, new miracles. Know that where miracles have not 'appeared' as requested, begged, pleaded, or just asked, that there is a block that needs to be opened, a lesson learned, an awareness personified, or, not in the highest interest of our greatest intention. 

We each have a hidden subconscious; self-limiting blocks, negative thoughts, feelings and emotions. Some, an energy distortion to do with lack of; thoughts and beliefs from our past where there has been a lack of abundance (in any form), and we have formed the belief that we are perhaps unworthy due to teachings (sin). Or an energy distortion to do with loss; great loss & perceived loss, as final, or that we were somehow at fault, therefore, we are undeserving. It is important to acknowledge and then work to clear these energy patterns from the past; perhaps where others have taken from you and/or prevented your abundance in some way. This sets up blame or shame, essentially though, either a loss of control or unworthiness, once again.  Others carry with them an energy distortion to do with limitation. 

Daily Miracles reflect, arise, and transpire, as we clear these energy distorted patterns where there has been a limited sense of abundance, which has brought forth an expectation from past that your abundance is limited♡ Meditation & Self Reflection. Talk with & Listening to, Spirit.

Miracles are natural. When they do not occur something has gone wrong. Not wrong in the sense that you have done something 'wrong,' but wrong in the manner that you may not be ready. Have patience. You are learning.  All will come to you as it should and as you Allow.  All power and answers lie within our connection aligned with God.  Make the choice to access this power and inner wisdom. Allow for the changes to transform.

Make a pact with you Heart, Mind, & Soul to release and to allow  yourself to be free and happy. Today, the world in which we live is going to change, and it is going to be FANTASTIC.


Change is good. Change will help you move from A to B. Change will help you make improvements in your life and also the lives of those around you. Follow your bliss, embrace change – don’t resist it. 

'Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls.' Joseph Campbell 

This is the Miracle.

A Course In Miracles~ Principle No Six~ Miracles are Natural. When they do not occur, something has gone wrong. 

My Meditation class had Incredible experiences last evening. Very powerful, very healing. This is because we have chosen to release and allow~ Let Go, Let Love, Allow God

Begin today. Love always, infinite & without condition♡ Lori-Lynn

Messages & Miracles~ACIM, Lesson 93~ Principle No Five

When you begin, and during, a Journey of Self-discovery, it's important to just allow the flow to be natural, allow the thoughts to come and go, settling when they feel right. It's important to me to expand my knowledge in every way possible, absorbing into my soul that which fits.

Not everyone is going to agree or even like your journey. This, if allowed, can be another facet and delicious piece of the journey. You may pick up the most precious of jewels from the simplest or seemed stark of conversations. We all learn at different paces and we are all at various places along our own journey. Each moment of the journey, is sacred, as it leads us to the next step and back to the Heart.  For me, this is a journey back to simplicity; that begins with nature and love. I do believe that understanding nature and the natural rhymes of the growth process is vital to understanding our own growth; for there are many seasons. Each season is ripe and beautiful in its own way.

Today, I just allow it to flow. The day is beautiful, the water calm, and the gentle breeze still. Be one with the day, today and allow. Give credence to each thought, understanding its significance, no matter how silly, lame, or unimportant it may seem.  With a gentle passion, awaken to new beginnings; for this is the true miracle; life itself, each moment, each breath, filled with wonder and love.  

A Course In Miracles, Principle No. Five~ Miracles are habits, and should be involuntary. They should not be under conscious control. Consciously selected miracles can be misguided.  Today, this day is God's. It is my gift to Him.

This day is God's. It is my gift to Him.  I will not lead my life alone today. I do not understand the world, and so I will lead my life with God. He is the One Who knows all that is best for me, and will make no choice for me, but the ones that lead to Love. I give this day to Him, with every thought and breath I take. 

And so I give today to You, with wholly & open mind. I do not ask for anything that I may think I  want, only to be present and alive. Give to me what You would have received by me; You know all my desires and my wants. And You will give everything required in helping to find the light & love, and the road that leads to You.  

In Love and in Light, Lori

Messages & Miracles~ACIM, Lesson 92~ Principle No Four

My interpretation. My thoughts. My awareness.

While reflecting on yesterday's message, I was struck by a message that I carried with me throughout the day. And yet I am still not clear on its portrayal. The message that I was receiving was complex, yet simple. Such that I have not yet fully understood its interpretation.  Even though I am unable to fully comprehend its meanings, I am going to put it out there, with the hope of obtaining further clarity. At this point, I am not sure where this message will lead me, but I will follow.

I am not looking for clarity in the teachings, in books value or experience, but rather I am looking for clarity in the way of personal, daily, and life experience. How does ones experience relate to this teachingm one never knows and I am open to? 

Bits and pieces of the message come to me, and for now, this is how I will transfer into this page.

Jesus. The message was in regards to Jesus, which may explain the fear. How can I go against all that has/is being taught by the church and by preachers. The message, in some respect, and from what I can understand at this point, goes against what we have been taught. It does bring forth a new awareness of what we were to witness and to learn; to carry with us; what we were to open our eyes to; the dedication and the love; of God, our creator.

Jesus was our gift, but not in a sense that we have been told. Jesus was our teacher, but not in the sense that we have learned of in our past, and continue to do so, as a reflection of someone else's awareness. Often the interpretation is self-serving.  This is the clarity that I seek, a light in the darkness.

Jesus was born to us to show us how to live our lives, not of Ego but of Love. That is the best way that I can relate the words. He manifested all that was required to embody and to teach us how to be better people. He lived what he believed, with his whole heart and soul. The greatest Love.

And that Love is the way back.

God sent Jesus to teach about our Spirituality, not religion. To follow the path of Love and Righteousness, as one with God♡ Righteousness implies that our actions are justified and pleasing to God, in the name of Love and truthful to ourselves, to our soulfulness.  

He was an example to us on how to live in love; how to walk amongst others, in the name of love, and endure that which could weaken the soul and turn one away from God. Yet, all of this he did not. This was the gift of God. Not to punish one another or cause further fighting.. but to dtrengthen pure belief.

It has always confused me, and now I believe I may understand, what I had been taught about the resurrection, Jesus, called to God, 'Why, oh, why, have you forsaken me?' This seems to be a question that many ask when faced with their greatest fears or harshest trials.

God only asked that Jesus trust in Him throughout the Journey, for it served but a greater purpose; The Greatest Purpose of All. Life & Love.

This now brings me to today's Principle and as I read it, I am fully astounded that I am directed in thought. I will continue to understand today's message until it is tangible within my mind.

Today, sit and reflect on the message of the Principles of Miracles, Number Four;

'All miracles mean life, and God is the giver of life. His voice will direct you very specifically. You will be told all you need to know. All things are echoes of the Voice for God.'

And so with this, I will continue my day. And my reflections of understanding. I will continue on my Journey of awareness and Spirituality. Of Love & Life and a better way. I invite anyone to comment or email me to share any experiences which may bring further enlightenment (for the message states, I will be told all that I need to know.' And I ask for a Miracle. with a Smile and in Love, Lori-Lynn

Messages & Miracles~ ACIM Lesson 91~ Principle No. Three

Fall in Love with YOU today.

Today is bringing me back to some of the solace as I began my journey, my story. Of this I am grateful. To be honest, and I may have said so, but I was once again beginning to feel a bit like a caged bird. The freedom to soar again is beautiful. Love~ let's go  back to the Love.

I talked a bit about the difference between Religion and Spirituality yesterday. Spirituality asks you to seek your own experience; to toss away the thoughts, interpretations, & experiences of others to experience & come up with your own. What I find so very interesting, is that when left to come up with ones own thoughts, in the name of love, there are so many that are similar. Those of pure thought have similar experiences. This, speaks to me. The incredible feeling of true, pure, love, measures how far we have come, how much we have learned, and how we are evolving.

It is the fear, doubt, anger, the chains that bind, that lead us to a false love, self-denial, and most often self-destruction.

Being of true, pure, love, as I have termed it here, is about experiencing, fully. It respects who I am, who you are, and who each of us are in this big ole planet and beyond. It's a self-declaration; a decision to act responsibly, in the name of love, in a manner in which, through conscious awareness, will not cause hardship or pain of others. It is a matter of awareness. It is an allowance. The allowance that we are all here to experience, to learn, to grown, and to evolve. And to remember.

To remember the connection and that we are all One. That this is the connection that binds us. That God is the connection that binds us. Knowing this, brings with it the questions, rather, answers more fully, 'then who are we really hurting?' Ourselves. I have long since been aware of this connection, but did not completely understand it. I do now. We reflect onto others, we seek of others, that which we look for in ourselves or seek in return. Understanding this, offers to us the gift that grants us permission to seek all of life's offerings; from and for love. And discover the magic and incredible experiences, adventures, and the greatest of loves, than one have ever imagined.

You are what you Experience. You Experience what you express. You express what you Experience.

Let Love be the Expression of Each Experience for which Miracles occur naturally as expressions of Love.  This Expression is called our 'Vibration.' Dance with Expression. Dance with each Experience. Dance with Love. And begin now, in this moment, with this thought and this breath.

This brings me to Principle Number Three. Principle Three asks us only to be aware; fully aware of our energy, our expression, our feelings. This awareness will bring us closer to understanding the True Miracle, as an expression of our love. So today, reflect upon this principle, understanding your fears, and bringing forth your truth. You are made in love. Every bit of You. You are love. Every Minute of You. Separate and let go of what your have been taught in the lessons of others, leaving your to discover what makes YOU feel good, really good; to then experience what you know deep within yourself. That only love is real; all else is an illusion of the love within.

A Course In Miracles~ Principle No Three~
Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love. The real miracle is the love that inspires them. In this sense everything that comes from love is a miracle.

Have a Magical Day, with Love, Happiness, & Joy as your guide, Lori-Lynn

Messsges & Miracles~Lesson 90~Principle No. Two

My favorite messages are those that I receive unexpectedly♡ These mostly occur at night, as I lay in bed just allowing my thoughts the freedom to flow. As I lay quiet of mind last night, the messages cascaded excitedly within.

'Life is not as we 'know' it to be. 

It's as we were taught it to be. 

The miracle is to Remember who we are.

A Child of God. Woven as One. ' 

To remember who were are at our core, which, is what the Course teaches us. This is the true Miracle. It is from this truth, this love, in which all Miracles are conceived and nurtured.

Miracles exists within us all, but often lay stagnant or chained in fear, doubt, shame, or guilt.

We are taught, in various degrees, that the miracle occurs as a reward; for being 'good,' or are held back, for being 'bad.'  And then, we add a complexity to this state of 'goodness' or 'badness' as varying degrees; rules, regulations, boundaries, laws, disciplines, and rewards; different and varying for each and every one of us. Different within countries, organizations, edaquites, religions, schools and even families. These are all taught to us. In some cases, for safety, in others for control, or to 'put us in our place.'

People often ask me to define the difference between religion and spirituality. Well, religion is what we have been taught; from anothers perspective, in another's words, defined by their experience & interpretation. Spirituality urges you to experience, to learn, for yourself. It's a coming together of the body, mind and Soul to do the teaching, the experiencing.

Money is yet another contention teaching, for many. It is good. It is bad. It is the root of all evil. Money is not the root of evil, it's the ego that creates this distance. Its what we choose to do with it and/or how we achieve it. It's the achievement that has value, not the money. We have put a price on the achievement, good or bad, but too often higher on the 'bad.' This is due to the imbalance.

The Balance is Love Do out of Love and the value changes. 

In order to make a change, to make a difference, I believe that it is important to go back to basics. And that basics is a level playing field. One where we honour each individual for the gifts in which they brought into this lifetime, the miracle of birth, the dance of love throughout our viens, the fullness that life offers us with less restriction, fear, control, and doubt. To teach children to listen within; to connect first and always with the Love of God at our core.

We are what we have been taught. So let's teach us better. We  are what we experience. Let's experience More! Greater! We have what we grant ourselves worthy of achieving. Let's be Worthier based on the Miracle of Life! Let's grant more worthiness! We are the miracles in which we believe and have been taught that we are entitled to.

If it makes you feel good♡ really good♡ Do it! Seek it out! Experience it to its fullest! In the name of Love♡ In the name of a Miracle!

If it doesn't make you feel good, you have to options. Don't do it is one option. But ask yourself WHY it doesn't feel good. If you know that it may cause hurt or harm of another... give yourself the gift of choice! Choose from love, not that which may haunt or hinder. If you are not doing by reason of a past lesson or control, then gift yourself with the freedom of a new experience!

There is no miracle too big or small; only Miracles of Love, Joy & Happiness♡ Today, we seek to experience the Miracle that comes from within the Heart & Soul, aligned with the Creator♡

Miracles as such do not matter. The only thing that matters is their source, which is far beyond evaluation. LOVE.
