Quite frankly, so is everything else really. The world is “idea” not form.
There is no peace to be found in the world outside ourselves.
Peace must be sought inside.
Let the Divine Inner Voice be the judge of everything and it will decide you are only as you were created which could only be as Source is in perfection.
This brings with it a desire to forgive anything that is outside of that perfection as it simply could not be “real” because Source “IS”.
From there one will be inspired to follow the direction of Divine Inner Guidance trusting that EVERYTHING is working just as it should and that any perceived failure or fault is already forgiven whether it appears to be in yourself or in others.
As this understanding becomes prevalent in society the earth will be renewed.
Grounding with feet on Gaia/earth can neutralize the negative charges that keep the collective psyche from peace. Visualize the negatives you have been exposed to as being sent into the soil and made ineffective. This allows the fulfilling of the work of Gaia for the Collective Consciousness.
This is within the power and capabilities of most of the human race.
The individual serves itself and the whole at the same time by accessing this peace that cannot be touched by circumstances that appear in the realm of the physical.

It is not all fairy dust and rainbows out there! NO, DUH!
There was a time when I did not know the terror within which we currently exist. A time when I did not understand that the ego can do nothing of itself and the best that it can hope for is to chase a dream of chuckles, chance, or tragedy and end in a theatrical embrace of a death which is hardly a delightful way for an eternal being to think of itself even for a moment.
⁶Salvation is a borderland where place and time and choice have meaning still, and yet it can be seen that they are temporary, out of place, and every choice has been already made. (ACIM, T-26.III.3:6)
Borderland is that place where the EGO stands revealed by the Holy Spirit and SEEKS to frighten but CAN NOT because the knowledge that it is not real is there.
At the same time, the heart and gut lunges and arches like a roller-coaster ride as the false world breaks away, and the Son of God is revealed.
Borderland, it is the place I identify as where I walk in the Atonement. I suspect it is in the land of form where I currently reside, as well as in the ‘afterlife’ and in all dimensions and multi-verses throughout the Sonship wherever I find my consciousness or that of any part of Christ.
Herein also lies my ‘feeling’ of the movie Bird Box and its components of threat and destruction consistent, and at the same time life reaches out to be acknowledged.
I have reached an age where my children desire to get along with me. I suspect it is mainly because they can see my death looming in the not-too-distant future and wish to make amends so they can live with themselves beyond my death. Death, not because of illness but age. Mortality’s reality.
I enjoy their kindnesses whatever the reason. And love is a truth in this space of dreaming no matter to whom it is extended.
I identify with Malory in Bird Box so much that I wrote a ten-page document about the show with many ACIM references, mainly from Chapters Eight and Nine of the Text. It lingers in the parameters of my mind and says I must look at it to testify that it is not real, nor lasting. And it can be known as not real because it does not last.
I had invited a grandson to view the show with me. He did not show up. I do not know why I asked. I already knew that he is beyond any true existence in my world. Meaning basically, he is not allowed to interact with me.
It seems that in his parent’s minds that when he was a child I was a fantasy, like the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy, that was meant to be a part of childhood but now I might influence him and distract from the life they envision for him. And so whatever means are necessary to justify the well-meant ending which is ‘his growth and security’ are appropriate in their minds. Is that not a form of love as well. I can honor it as such. I let the Holy Spirit take care of that judgment. It is above my pay grade. 🙂
Does that sound familiar to your family or families that you have witnessed throughout your life? I am not suggesting I am unique.
My other children handled this issue in diverse ways that still met its goal. And most did it at a much younger age for the child. Basically, right from the get-go. Those fairy tale ideas about family are propaganda, folks, and primarily used as a marketing tool and a way to crack the whip over the heads and hearts of the masses so that they do not think for themselves.
(And you thought it was just those Scientologists and Mormons you cannot shake once you say hello. They will trail you for decades even after you declare a disinterest because numbers help with their tax break. lol)
It seems that every evil has its beginnings in truth because the truth is all there is.
We are not free to hear or engage with those who are not deemed like us out of fear that we will be magically changed into something unwelcome and undesirable as they are.
How I look forward to the day when the Atonement is alive in their lives and they can see that there can be no lasting influence from another because God has deemed it so and they will know that all is forgiven for even these questions and fears are not a part of the reality of what we are as God has created us. (Created us in our truth, not as we appear in our costumed roles within mortal existence.)
Such is the way of the ego within Time. Control through fear is its skeleton and death is its only reward with temporary glimpses of what heaven or joy might be like along the way. Like the wind monsters in Bird Box, the ego would crash you to your death before it would reveal the truth.
It is strange living among ghosts; those who have forgotten that they have a place within the heart of God.
A deep breath. That is what keeps me stable. That and a deep abiding faith in the witness of the Holy Spirit that tells me God is real and we only think we are managing without Him.
I am going to let my story of the Bird Box go with this post at least as regards the Course quotes because I suspect that I would be writing on each and every passage for truly I see a reflection of what we are experiencing within Time in that movie.
Within myself and without, through angels of all kinds, is the GPS that guides me into life and through those specters that would tare me down and trample me underfoot. They allow me existence as long as I keep my distance and that is fair. I will hold the witness of who they truly are for them, just as Jesus does and as he did for me until I was ready to remember who I am.
I want to get back to my readings and to the Workbook Lessons of ACIM. My writing is like droppers of understanding whereby I feed the Christ Consciousness and bear witness of the truthfulness of the words of Jesus and the hope and WAY that he shows us in the Atonement.
To think that I could be this calm in this House of Horrors that I stand in witness of within the Borderland is astounding to me. I have spent over 50 years of my life frantic that I could not do more to help humanity because I knew there was something that needed to be done.
ACIM has shown me that God truly does have the whole world in His Hands and when they are ready He will be waiting in the safe place with all the comforts that are needed for a healthy and happy existence.
We no longer need to be frightened.
We are safe and protected, and we will be shown the way home.
Till next time, God bless, bye for now.
And we ALL use both sides of the coin. We seek info and we give info.

Used by the ego social media accomplishes a lot of things.
Money in pockets for one. It is one of the greatest political and marketing strategies ever found because ‘they’ can find the pulse on nearly any topic they desire by making a headline and watching the response.
‘They’ are able to know just how much bogus influence we will sustain and how to bend the arc of opinion in any given direction.
It is an art and a science used since the beginning of time in various forms.
It encompasses all of the major arts of influence that politics and religion have used over the years. Vudoo, shunning, persuasion, charisma, revealing the Achilles heel, shock-treatments, ghosting, peer pressure, black-balling, fundraising, propaganda distribution, even bush-whacking, and ambushing, not to forget kidnapping, sexual abuse in all its forms and demographics, manipulation, con artists of all types while new ones are being manifested, and the good old classic; murder. Whew…
~~~
What is Christ (the Whole Consciousness) getting out of all of this?
Well, He is able to see just what He is thinking, or a lot of it anyway.
In the nightmare that is us collectively at the moment, He is having stirrings that are heretofore unknown in the history of mankind. At least to our knowledge.
Imagine His unrest.
I know you can argue that He is not in this anymore, it is only His alter-egos that are playing themselves out over and over again with the byline “God doesn’t live here anymore.” And we just need to forgive everything and let ourselves fade into the sunset. But hold that thought for a moment and pretend like He is still ‘here.’
He must be tossing in His sleep trying to wake up from something that is making no sense to Him and that could well be a good thing.
~~~
How might the Holy Spirit utilize a phenomenon such as social media?
Good question. The truth is there is a connection going on as has never happened as far as we know in human history.
Family members and friends are able to reacquaint with those they thought lost to them forever.
Hearts are being reminded that they long for those that they feel are a part of them. Might it not make them a little more compassionate or understanding of the desire of God to have a relationship with another component of Himself; even a Son?
Conversations are able to be had without the interference of repercussions that are known in other modalities and that can be replied to rapidly if not instantaneously.
Different voices are giving different perspectives on the same issue and individuals are having the opportunity to really question and decide under which cup lays the golden egg.
Is there any way you can imagine that the story of the Emperor’s Clothing could be more exposed, explored, and hashed over?
This is not an exhausted list by any means but you get the idea, that voices are being given an opportunity to be heard and humanity is being given the means to express itself and show itself for what it is and what it is not. These are key to the work that the Holy Spirit seeks to produce among the children of God from what I understand of Jesus’ teachings.
Now, I am all for gardening and nature in all its forms and delights. In other words, getting away from our tech devices, make no mistake. Especially since being cooped up indoors for three months with a severely broken leg and looking at another three months before I am back where I started in mobility.
But my ability to have an impact in the world has not been hampered by much at all because of social media. And even as my sensibilities make it very difficult for me to be in the company of mortals these days, I can still reach out through my meditations and by sharing what I have gleaned from my study of the works of Jesus with potentially thousands of individuals.
I am not sure that this has ever been the case in a manifested way heretofore. I know that we all have a collective mind and that in that sphere we communicate, but here among the avatars of the ego of Christ, it is a rare and beautiful thing.
Like all that God or the Son devise, in the sphere of the ego, it can and will be used in diverse ways that crush the human spirit, pit one against another, and taunt the have-nots of the world but the true form of all that God and the Son devise is for the blessing and delight of both Creator and Creation as equal recipients of one another’s affections and celebration.
Even in the world of the ego, we have been known to call this LOVE.
🙏❣🙏
Thanks for reading,
Till next time, God bless, bye for now.
I am learning how to live by the Spirit. Who are we, and how we define ourselves, has been a quest of the ages. The Holy Spirit helps us understand.
I feel Jesus is telling us that accepting our Creator is how we accept ourselves and how we reap the abundance of His Affections and desire to bless us.
I love finding another conversation that fleshes out my understanding of a concept that the Holy Spirit feels I am ready to learn. #learning #tobe #ego #whatmakesmeme
The question is age-old and pertinent to each of us.
How do we define who we are?
See the article and video clip that prompted the prompt on this link:
https://medium.com/promptly-written/to-thine-own-self-be-true-5ce008f0873a
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibxPYzn1WIU
The prompt happened to fit in with my own thoughts of the day about the ego and how we should look at it as students of A Course In Miracles.
The ego is the bad guy throughout most of the Course. One that you come to think must be destroyed. But is it?
9. “The wicked shall perish” becomes a statement of Atonement, if the word “perish” is understood as “be undone.” ²Every loveless thought must be undone, a word the ego cannot even understand. ³To the ego, to be undone means to be destroyed. ⁴The ego will not be destroyed because it is part of your thought, but because it is uncreative and therefore unsharing, it will be reinterpreted to release you from fear. ⁵The part of your mind that you have given to the ego will merely return to the Kingdom, where your whole mind belongs. ⁶You can delay the completion of the Kingdom, but you cannot introduce the concept of fear into it.
Line 4 suggests ego will be destroyed. But take a look at number 1 and number 3. It is the ego’s understanding or belief that something can die that is totally in error.
What happens is that the ego becomes undone. Having been “made up” by the Mind of Christ when He thought the possibility of separating from God was real. I think of this as being translated or reformed, made anew if you will.
To destroy or to kill is not something that God relates to in any way. It stands to reason that even the Son’s mistaken beliefs would be translated into a completely loving essence. Note that translated is a term that would not need time, but rather understanding something differently.
One of my key questions regarding the Course and ego is should we think of it as me, the devil on my shoulder, or the mistaken belief of separation from God, in other words, a collective illusion or fabrication? I think any one of them has been used, I know they have by me.
In the context of Young Sheldon is he not seeking an understanding of how to perceive himself within the context of what he knows his heart and mind have chosen to pursue?
He seems to be drawn to the idea that he must find a composite or mentor of what he seeks within the known history of society.
Where is the ego here? Is it that which causes Sheldon to think he must find the pattern of his existence within history or is it the need to become something one does not perceive oneself to be at the moment?
One of the large questions of the Course is, “Is there really a me?” A single child of God who is part of the Sonship of Christ. Or is Christ a desire of God that is so much a part of Himself that in the attempt to have recognition between them both are lost to oblivion?
I suggest that Young Sheldon was seeking an answer to part of this question without actually stating that God did in fact have a voice in this.
The poignancy of the reality of his parent’s distress over the miscarriage of a not so welcome pregnancy portrays the same dilemma for the human mind.
It seems that somewhere within the human psyche is the understanding that there is a being greater than ourselves that we sense will impact, influence, and even make decisions in our seemingly singular existence that relates to a larger picture, design, and consciousness. I.E. God, Himself.
This applies not only to the development of the species but also to our particular goals in terms of career path and “religious” persuasion.
Now that is a word! Or a concept that I think is greatly misunderstood and needs adjustment!
Religious persuasion. Religion is strictly speaking the beliefs that you live by that engage every aspect of your expression in the material world.
To suggest that anyone is without religion is ridiculous because we all exist according to our beliefs.
When one says, “I do not believe in religion.”, they are saying that they do not agree with a particular set of beliefs.
When we say, “I do not believe in organized religion.”, we may be suggesting that congregating implies separating from the whole of creation. A sort of “better-than” attitude. Maybe even that we ought to be ashamed of ourselves for doing so?
I tend to agree with this. That religion as humanity understands it today is a form of segregation.
However, I propose that Jesus is trying to show us that our unity and collectivity are honored by accepting a few core truths that will lead us not only out of this world where confusion and ultimately death rages, but into a bona fide awareness and appreciation not only for our own uniqueness but for that of all components of the Sonship, be they plant, mineral, chemical, and so forth. And so to true freedom.
Is this not Heaven even? To recognize and appreciate our diversity and our unity within the Mind of God, our Father? Needing nothing from another but acknowledging fully and embodying the power/love of God as do all other expressions of the Son?
With Jesus’ teachings in mind. According to my understanding anyway.
My two cents on the recent very public Will/Jada event:
Do you know the story of his mom getting hit in the face by his father’s fist and him seeing her blood and feeling guilty for not protecting her?
My understanding is we tend to partner with some aspect of our parents. As Jesus said in the rough drafts of ACIM we are seeking to reconnect with God but we reach outside ourselves instead of going inward.
I have no problem at all acknowledging that we are all narcissistic. We have to be or we would be with God and not consumed with being our own god.
I have a lot of respect for this couple who was willing to put this on display for the world at large to review and scrutinize.
I AM NOT saying that they staged this.
I am saying that in the Universal Plan of healing Christ’s Consciousness this will be a very public component to allow us to consider the many dimensions that occur in a scenario like this.
We really are all in this together, folks, and what is happening over there is something that we are each sorting out inside ourselves at the same time whether we acknowledge that or not. We are One, as Christ, the Son of God.
Thanks for reading,
Till next time, God bless, bye for now.
One step at a time.
I do not usually share my thoughts on the specific lessons of A Course In Miracles on Medium but these four came at me in a profound way this year and I thought I would share them. I warn you, it does get deep.
My thoughts on ACIM Lessons 87 through 90 with the lessons first. Warning: You may not like this at all. Life is what it is and we each have a story. I can only see the world the way I see it right now. All is well, come what may, the Holy Spirit is guiding. It’s just a “story” anyway. 😉
Lesson 87
1. (73) I will there be light. ²I will use the power of my will today. ³It is not my will to grope about in darkness, fearful of shadows and afraid of things unseen and unreal. ⁴Light shall be my guide today. ⁵I will follow it where it leads me, and I will look only on what it shows me. ⁶This day I will experience the peace of true perception.
2. These forms of this idea would be helpful for specific applications: ²This cannot hide the light I will to see. ³You stand with me in light, [name]. ⁴In the light this will look different.
3. (74) There is no will but God’s. ²I am safe today because there is no will but God’s. ³I can become afraid only when I believe there is another will. ⁴I try to attack only when I am afraid, and only when I try to attack can I believe that my eternal safety is threatened. ⁵Today I will recognize that all this has not occurred. ⁶I am safe because there is no will but God’s.
4. These are some useful forms of this idea for specific applications: ²Let me perceive this in accordance with the Will of God. ³It is God’s Will you are His Son, [name], and mine as well. ⁴This is part of God’s Will for me, however I may see it.
(ACIM, W-87.1:1–4:4)
~~~
My thoughts:
1. ⁶This day I will experience the peace of true perception.
Jesus knew that his body could die. He also knew he was not a body and there was no separation from God. He knew death was not God’s Will but the confused mind of Christ as a Whole.
I can apply this same reasoning in my life whether I am frustrated in traffic, caught in an abusive situation I have no means to get out of (such as life, haha, don’t even think it, you will come right back because you agreed to do something here, 😛 ), or if I am watching a family member plot their death and mine because they are losing the battle with coping skills.
Grant you, I may experience different degrees of discomfort with each scenario but there really is no difference before God because separation is impossible. And murder is the objective of the ego in any case where it thinks it is in charge.
Whereas, communion is whole, complete, and eternal. This is what we want to focus on and what we can “see” with the vision of the Holy Spirit.
3. ⁶I am safe because there is no will but God’s.
~~~
Lesson 88
1. (75) The light has come. ²In choosing salvation rather than attack, I merely choose to recognize what is already there. ³Salvation is a decision made already. ⁴Attack and grievances are not there to choose. ⁵That is why I always choose between truth and illusion; between what is there and what is not. ⁶The light has come. ⁷I can but choose the light, for it has no alternative. ⁸It has replaced the darkness, and the darkness has gone.
2. These would prove useful forms for specific applications of this idea: ²This cannot show me darkness, for the light has come. ³The light in you is all that I would see, [name]. ⁴I would see in this only what is there.
3. (76) I am under no laws but God’s. ²Here is the perfect statement of my freedom. ³I am under no laws but God’s. ⁴I am constantly tempted to make up other laws and give them power over me. ⁵I suffer only because of my belief in them. ⁶They have no real effect on me at all. ⁷I am perfectly free of the effects of all laws save God’s. ⁸And His are the laws of freedom.
4. For specific forms in applying this idea, these would be useful: ²My perception of this shows me I believe in laws that do not exist. ³I see only the laws of God at work in this. ⁴Let me allow God’s laws to work in this, and not my own.
(ACIM, W-88.1:1–4:4)
~~~
My thoughts:
1. ²In choosing salvation rather than attack, I merely choose to recognize what is already there. ³Salvation is a decision made already.
Whether I want to hurt myself in thought or deed or feel threatened by someone else, the decision for salvation has been made by EACH of us. Because I am under no laws but God’s.
~~~
Lesson 89
1. (77) I am entitled to miracles. ²I am entitled to miracles because I am under no laws but God’s. ³His laws release me from all grievances, and replace them with miracles. ⁴And I would accept the miracles in place of the grievances, which are but illusions that hide the miracles beyond. ⁵Now I would accept only what the laws of God entitle me to have, that I may use it on behalf of the function He has given me.
2. You might use these suggestions for specific applications of this idea: ²Behind this is a miracle to which I am entitled. ³Let me not hold a grievance against you, [name], but offer you the miracle that belongs to you instead. ⁴Seen truly, this offers me a miracle.
3. (78) Let miracles replace all grievances.
²By this idea do I unite my will with the Holy Spirit’s, and perceive them as one. ³By this idea do I accept my release from hell. ⁴By this idea do I express my willingness to have all my illusions be replaced with truth, according to God’s plan for my salvation. ⁵I would make no exceptions and no substitutes. ⁶I want all of Heaven and only Heaven, as God wills me to have.
4. Useful specific forms for applying this idea would be: ²I would not hold this grievance apart from my salvation. ³Let our grievances be replaced by miracles, [name]. ⁴Beyond this is the miracle by which all my grievances are replaced.
(ACIM, W-89.1:1–4:4)
~~~
My thoughts:
I know that the possibility is there of Death at the hand of my beloved family member. We cannot always “fix” things.
There are things within this world of confusion and the lies of the ego that cannot be exposed or believed until after the fact but we can know what is going on if we listen to the Holy Spirit.
No one would or could do anything to stop a situation on the premise of intuition alone and even if they did the opportunity is still there and in the hands of the individual. And the point is, we are all doing it.
Murdering each other and ourselves, regularly, over and over again because we insist that we are separate from one another and from God. Until we see that what will change?
I cannot see myself in a nursing home. I have too much spunk and PTSD/PTSpD (Post Traumatic Separation Disorder). So maybe we have a pact to go out together so I do not have to deal with that! Lol; really though, it is not impossible.
If that is the case I accept it now, before it has ever occurred and all I say is “you are forgiven because it is just a story. I loved you into this world and I will love you no matter what. And no one can part us from our love for each other or from God’s love.”
Of course, this is fictional. It is all an illusion, right. And if it were not, this is what I can say to each and everyone that I have ever known, anyway.
The Atonement is our ONLY recourse no matter what life seems to bring us. Because God IS.
~~~
Lesson 90
1. (79) Let me recognize the problem so it can be solved. ²Let me realize today that the problem is always some form of grievance that I would cherish. ³Let me also understand that the solution is always a miracle with which I let the grievance be replaced. ⁴Today I would remember the simplicity of salvation by reinforcing the lesson that there is one problem and one solution. ⁵The problem is a grievance; the solution is a miracle. ⁶And I invite the solution to come to me through my forgiveness of the grievance, and my welcome of the miracle that takes its place.
2. Specific applications of this idea might be in these forms: ²This presents a problem to me which I would have resolved. ³The miracle behind this grievance will resolve it for me. ⁴The answer to this problem is the miracle that it conceals.
3. (80) Let me recognize my problems have been solved. ²I seem to have problems only because I am misusing time. ³I believe that the problem comes first, and time must elapse before it can be worked out. ⁴I do not see the problem and the answer as simultaneous in their occurrence. ⁵That is because I do not yet realize that God has placed the answer together with the problem, so that they cannot be separated by time. ⁶The Holy Spirit will teach me this, if I will let Him. ⁷And I will understand it is impossible that I could have a problem which has not been solved already.
4. These forms of the idea will be useful for specific applications: ²I need not wait for this to be resolved.
³The answer to this problem is already given me, if I will accept it. ⁴Time cannot separate this problem from its solution.
(ACIM, W-90.1:1–4:4)
~~~
My thoughts::
4. ²I need not wait for this to be resolved. ³The answer to this problem is already given me, if I will accept it. ⁴Time cannot separate this problem from its solution.
Well, if my family member decides to do us both in I will be fine and so will they because the separation from God has already been healed because it never was. Jesus has been trying to tell us this since time began. This is just a bad nightmare, an addictive dream, and we will get over it.
Now, my body or my feelings may get hurt and I may be concerned about the impact on my family member but truth is they have access to the Holy Spirit and the witness that this illusion is nonsense too. So, I will just trust that however things roll out it is the way that the Universal Plan needs to and I may as well just smile and enjoy the show. However, it goes down I can rest in the Atonement and know that all is well.
I personally think that if we could be more upfront with what is going on in our fictitious lives we would be able to endure them better. It is the pretending they are something they are not that has us stuck here, whether we consider our own situation good or bad, it does not matter. Letting concerns fester is what I think Jesus means by holding grievances. Write them, speak them, let them see the light of day.
Because this is not where God meant for us to be and I am speaking about the state of mind, not the physical earth.
There is a calm that can come in the midst of trauma and tragedy. In fact, the ego/tempter will use it to accuse you of being all kinds of wrong but that is his problem, not yours.
For that matter, why not look at things on the bright side and see healing? Jesus says that the Holy Spirit will help us see that. I am going to hold to that vision no matter what. I hope you will, also.
Till next time, God bless, by for now.
We are living the roles we accepted in the Universal Plan of deliverance.
And we will be shown the way.
His Story
It is important to understand that we are living a nightmare that has already been released. (It is all over, folks! I understand that is difficult to comprehend now.)
It is the delusional thoughts of the Son of God who believed just for a moment that He could have been abandoned by or separated from God.
Each of us has been given a role to play in His nightmare and each one of us has the ability from our tiny corner of the Atonement to gently awaken Him from this dream.
Holy Spirit and Nature assist us as signposts, guards, comfort, and directions to keep us safe and on track through His Story.
We are not left to do this on our own.
A huge thing in the nightmare Christ had envisioned is His isolation from God and in doing so imagined Himself being isolated.
God knows better and we have within us the guiding voice of the Holy Spirit.
Mind you, there are many other voices as well, but this one is the one that says you are worthy of attention and patience and all the time in the world to understand that you have not left God and neither has He left you and that all you need to do is remember that and turn away from the error of separation by forgiving yourself for it and all who are around you.
Use the gifts in nature that support life and endurance. One of my favorites is the trees. They show endurance in all sorts of challenging circumstances and that diversity can be a thing of beauty.
Having JOY and PEACE in the moment allows you to alter the experience of the entire Christ Consciousness.
Why? Because we are all connected through our minds and though we may not feel the alignment of this the energy of transference across all of creation is there.
The more that you can bring this to your awareness the more separate you will be from the trauma of His Story and in alignment with who you truly are.
Jesus is our elder brother and equal.
As the first to fall subject to the error of considering the belief in separation from God (Just a personal understanding of mine, he has never said such a thing that I know of.) and he also was the first to accept the Atonement (This he has said, so the other makes sense to me and I have no problem forgiving him for it.), though in our linear time frame it appears that it was fulfilled in the meridian of time.
Yes, I am speaking of Jesus of Nazareth, as well as the “god of the Old Testament” and the author of A Course in Miracles.
I see them all as the same entity and my brother in the Christ Sonship.
Time is a product of the fall and the fear that came with it made our existence appear to be linear. Eternity is an “always” where all things are happening at the same time and every component is aware of the whole and all of its parts, including the over-arching creator of all which I refer to as God.
When Jesus walked on earth he was able to recall the memory of having been with Father/God and the entire “body of Christ” as a Whole.
He was able to go through the experiences on earth and not claim the situations as his own.
As such, he had the opportunity to forgive the Sonship as a whole, especially in the singular identity of Judas who as a friend committed the ultimate betrayal.
All of these stories that we have are not in alignment with our truth but are masquerading caricatures of our truth as children of God.
Like Jesus, the Holy Spirit will bring the light into our minds and reunite us with the remembrance that our will is the Will of Father because we are His.
Many blessings, thanks for reading!
Till next time, God bless, bye for now.
What if the invisible monster that blows the weeds on Bird Box is our BELIEFS? I.E. BELIEFS of the ego?
of an “invisible” monster.
I am obsessed with Bird Box lately. I cannot get it out of my mind. I see metaphors all over the place that align with A Course In Miracles. I feel Malory is a hero in many ways but especially in the way that could lead us to an understanding of the role we must take if we want to get out of the chaos that the ego has created for us all. Jesus made it very clear in ACIM that the ego is out for nothing less than our destruction and continual separation from God and one another. What we call love in this world is of the ego and its goal is to destroy. Malory gives us a blueprint of what Jesus is teaching us we must be to lead our children to eternal life. #ACIM #Metaphor #BirdBox #Beliefs #Motherhood #Love
BELIEFS in various forms; suggested by the drawings of Gary, the insane one who stabbed Douglas, our “cranky” neighbor with the scissors.
Each BELIEF, catching us by surprise (because somewhere inside we know God created us, as His Son, to live) and plummeting us to the destruction of our own bodies/souls/hearts or, for those whose hearts were already cold as ice, to cause them to destroy others just because it seems/ed like the “right” thing to do?
It would take someone willing to have a BELIEF to fall victim to such a thing.
Could it be her decision not to CONNECT (in the world of form) or BELIEVE in anything, at least for the moment (Think of her painting.), except for the life of her unborn child that prevented Malory from seeing whatever it was that made her sister try to wreck the car, and then step in front of the bus?
As a mother, I believe that she has made her decisions for the welfare of the children, including not giving them names. Her unattachment gives them a reason to go within and to use their own cognitive capabilities to survive. Others will not see it that way and think she is even cruel.
Here is an interesting and intelligent review of the movie from one who thought of it as a metaphor for parenting. While he makes many interesting observations I, personally, do not agree that Malory was incapable of loving her children. She just could not envision a loving and safe future for them or herself.
Could it be that we need to have our FOCUS on life, ETERNAL LIFE for ourselves and others, here and now? And give up our fixation on coping in a fictitious world?
Isn’t this what Jesus has been trying to get us to do and what we are able to do within the Atonement? By forgiving Christ’s error of belief in separation from self, others, our environment, and God we might have a clearer vision of what we REALLY could be living?
Could ACIM be seen as an instruction manual for giving up BELIEFS that are founded in FEAR so that we might LOOK to the Light that comes from God and LIVE?
I am not saying it would happen overnight but in truth, I suspect the world would change dramatically in a relatively short time, and I suggest we are already in this process. For which I am grateful.
Thanks for reading.
Till next time, God bless, bye for now.
Jesus did. Let’s not complicate it as we have before!
Everything is happening all at once within the Mind of God. Time is currently outside that because of fear brought on by the belief in separation.
7. Eternity is one time, its only dimension being “always.” (ACIM, T-9.VI.7:1)
We think of time as linear. But really does it not make more sense that absolutely everything is going on at the same “time”???
That is how we can each be creative as God made us because we can only be what He is.
It is also how all that is not of God no longer exists in eternity.
Fear from the fall which began with a belief in the ability to be separated from God is what gives us a history of lack, terror, and all forms of abuse. As well as a future that seems fearful and unknown.
In truth, all is eternal. It may be difficult for the human mind to grasp but it is so.
You, as the Son of God and all your creations; and all of theirs, because God is God.
Now, lest you think that it is a perpetual nothingness consider this: perhaps what we consider seconds in linear time are simply different dimensions of the same time element, in other words, all things exist at the same time in different encapsulations known by all parts of the whole Son of God and the Creator; God, the Father. This is eternity.
How the world is doing is showing us how the Mind of Christ as a collective is doing. And your thoughts influence this.
Jesus says there is only one problem: Belief in Separation.
This is my take on A Course In Miracles Workbook Lesson 79:
Let me recognize the problem so it can be solved. (https://acim.org/acim/en/s/482 | W-79)
2. …(problems) must be recognized as one if the one solution that solves them all is to be accepted.
4. The temptation to regard problems as many is the temptation to keep the problem of separation unsolved.
6. ²If you could recognize that your only problem is separation, no matter what form it takes, you could accept the answer because you would see its relevance.
8. ³All that is necessary is to entertain some doubt about the reality of your version of what your problems are.
10. ³Let me recognize this problem so it can be solved. ⁴Then try to suspend all judgment about what the problem is.
~~~
Okay.
We are one whole, right?
So if one person can solve one problem correctly it would seem that the whole would be repaired.
Then again, Jesus said it already has been repaired so that leaves it to each of us to open our eyes and see that it is so.
We do this through the Atonement.
We could spend our lives thinking this lesson means that we are to take each problem that comes at us and correct it but I do not see it like that.
I see that we are being asked to see the correction of the whole that is already complete and the only way to see this is with the principles taught in the Atonement.
1. See only Christ in all of creation.
2. See a mistake of belief in separation.
3. Forgive the mistake and all of its consequences.
That is the simple “formula” that we each have to “swallow.”
The way I see it is that we each have a responsibility for saving the world and every moment we delay brings pain, suffering, and heartache that is NOT NECESSARY.
We ARE ABLE to do something about the state of the world and it costs us nothing.
The Atonement aligns us into one world with diverse parts.
That means that from within the mindset of the Atonement (described in the formula in the section above) we are functioning from the same platform of understanding.
This would have nothing to do with ideologies, religion, or ways to describe and experience the unlimited worlds that we have among us. It would simply align us with the Creator and our power as well as one another so that there would be a connection of energy/thought and experience in a way, this means we would “know” or “feel” one another, even if we were in a different dimension.
And yes, I am getting ahead of myself here because while Time has been released already there are those who are not aware of it. And until EACH of us accepts the Atonement time will be.
Even so, the Atonement does give everyone who participates in it an equal platform because it acknowledges God IS and the Son is one whole made up of many vital and significant parts directed, while in Time, by the Holy Spirit.
Use the things that you are learning in life to put a different perspective on old and stagnant issues.
That is what I did, folks.
And it wraps up this way:
Separation is the source of ALL problems.
123 (see the formula above) Atonement is the only solution to separation.
Linear time will then be destroyed and we will see ourselves as a whole in its multiple forms and expressions within the Mind and Will of God.
Alterations of existence will be witnessed compared to Time because death, guilt, and suffering will have no place there.
Creation will continue indefinitely within the Mind of God where all things are of His Will and are eternal.
Sounds pretty darn exciting to me! I am looking forward to the ride!
Till next time, God bless, bye for now.
We each have a role to play in the scene that takes place across the world we see.
Your place in the Atonement cannot be filled by another. You are as you were created, perfect. Let go of what does not substantiate that.
It is a big world but only YOU can fill your spot in the Atonement.
Let faith in forgiveness be the shield you carry into the world.
If we were to understand it correctly we would see that faith is the same thing as true forgiveness because it is an absolute recognition that God IS.
The first mistake was believing separation from God was possible.
This is what you want to forgive because it forgives everything else that has happened in the ego-created world.
Communication ends separation. This is how the Holy Spirit uses the body.
“Communication ends separation.” (HLC Manuscript T8G4)
“To use the body unnaturally is to lose sight of the Holy Spirit’s purpose, and thus to confuse the goal of His curriculum.” (HLC Manuscript T8G7)
We are all learning here so do not fault yourself. Remember you are part of the whole original error that you have forgiven through the Atonement. The Holy Spirit will direct you, trust that.
God IS.
God IS and you are IN Him; always have been and always will be. Anything outside of that is unreal and can be let go.
If anything else takes its place you lose your identity as His Son.
Time is happening all at once.
If you could grasp this you would see how easily what appears to have taken place could be erased or be as it has never been through the Atonement.
Do not take for granted the effect of the addictive pull that we have to chaos and division. It is contrary to our truth but it is a pull that calls us like the vampire Edward wanting the blood of Bella in the Twilight Saga and like him, we can overrule that craving.
Can you tell that I am enthralled with the idea of finding metaphors for spiritual understanding within that work?!!
Shove off guilt and shame.
You are a child of God and nothing can change that, not even you.
And God made His Son like Himself, perfect.
We have assistance.
The Holy Spirit needs to be our primary guide. He is our connection to God/Source and our true selves.
He is that still small voice inside that says that you are worthy and that you are an important part of the whole of creation.
You also have angels and other guides. It could be a pet, living or passed. Our helpers are in the flesh and unseen as well. Ask for assistance. Speak to them.
Trust yourself and do not let others get in your head and convince you otherwise. This is a weakness of mine because I know “I do not know” and sometimes I have to claim strong boundaries to keep others out of my head.
As you grow in your spiritual walk you may come to understand that those unseen are much more loyal and numerous than those that are still in the world. Maybe it just comes with age?
This may not be the case for everyone but do not be afraid or feel slighted if it is so.
You will not be forced to accept who you truly are, likewise, nothing will be withheld when you do.
That does not mean life gets easier in the world of form. In fact, it may become excruciating because as you grow in spiritual vision things that did not bother you before, will now.
It will be important to remember what we learned in accepting the Atonement, that what we fear when we think about our bodies has no real impact on us because we are eternal beings. Crushing psychological trauma will have no eternal effect, either, because of the blessing of the Atonement.
Time is to be undone.
This was something that really helped me to see how “all our sins could be washed away”. Past will be undone and lack of fear removes future cares and gives us an eternal present.
We teach others by how we live. Honoring your own boundaries and voice is part of that.
How we treat others is reflective of how we feel about ourselves and about God.
PTSpD is part of the ego world “reality”.
(Post Traumatic Separation Disorder) Until all are safely in the Atonement we will see things that sadden the heart.
Do not fault yourself for it.
Find practices that work for you to relieve it. Nature, exercise, hobbies, breathwork, there is no end to the diverse supports that we have.
And give others “space” because they are feeling it too.
The Holy Spirit is within you and will bring comfort if you will allow Him to.
Teach others by example just do not expect them to see your internal workings or agree with you.
Be sure to have the “shield of ~faith in forgiveness~ of the original error” because this way you walk in forgiveness and do not make an offense real in your own mind. Even though you “see” it with your natural eyes and must deal with it, your spiritual eyes know of Christ’s perfection.
Your main gift in this lifetime is the ability to forgive the Son of God for the belief in separation from God and all the consequences of that belief.
Do not underestimate how powerful TRUE FORGIVENESS is!
The first mistake that created the chaos and caused the “fall” was the belief in the possibility of separation between the Father and His Son.
We got this! Father is delighted in His Son always!
Jesus was the first to accept the Atonement.
He was also the first thought of Christ as He was being created.
He was able to remember being in God and as one with Him.
We can have faith in Jesus’ witness of God.
Helen Schucman, the scribe of A Course In Miracles, thought Jesus had a bit of an ego. I think it was the confidence that one has when one is aligned with the witness of the Holy Spirit. You know that it is true because you have been shown in ways that mortals could never understand with their five senses.
Jesus has walked with me my entire life and I have been lucky to have known him. He is my elder brother and truly my dearest friend who always has my best interests at heart.
I leave this witness with you, in the name of Christ, amen.
Did you notice the repeats in the messages? I do not think that is a coincidence.
Till next time, God bless, bye for now.
Change is in the air.
I cannot have open conversations with the people in my world. So, I talk to me (and you, the Collective whom I call Christ) here.
I can sense a new era coming before me in my personal life. And perhaps as a Whole according to those I listen to. For what one does affects the whole.
It is from my personal existence that I bear testimony that I know is relevant to the teachings of Jesus.
It was not that long ago that I asked the powers that be for the words and language that would communicate what they wanted me to share with the United Consciousness of Christ at this time.
I am certain……(Forgive me, I have to pause here for a minute and explain something. I used to say I believe but my studies of A Course In Miracles has shown me how walking in the witness of the Holy Spirit gives an individual certainty, so you will hear me speak with an “I am certain,” rather than an” I believe.”)
I am certain that I was told that it would take a physical experience to give me the words to speak what needs to be said by me at this time.
I do not like pain and I am certain that the many dreams I woke from that had me being counseled very thoroughly had to do with preparation for the breaking of my right femur and tibia (the bones in the lower part of my leg).
It would not only have been to prepare me for the breaking of my bones but for the interactions that I would be having with several individuals among those who would be called to give me assistance at that time and during my recovery.
Even the path and location of the mishap were reviewed several times in the weeks prior to the incident. I looked at that spot and I said, “do not go there, walk ahead and turn up this way because that can be treacherous on a good day.”
It took a few weeks after the accident before I realized that my devotions had been too steady and stable for this to have come upon me out of the blue. And remember, there are no coincidences. I had to have been prepared for it and it had to have been the answer to my heart’s desire.
I heard today, “We can use all pain as a way to shift ourselves.” Confirmation to me of what the Spirit has been teaching me these past several weeks. I began this writing at least three weeks ago and the world has shifted with the war in Ukraine. I believe, as do others that the Collective is changing their belief in the power of a few to believe in power given by the Divine Source to each of us individually.
The pain of the break and its subsequent consequences has taught me about myself on a physical level and about the human condition as we experience it today.
It has echoed through my soul and shown me that humanity as a whole is very much aware of its fragile state and, while the ego keeps us distracted, it cannot quite calm the terror that we actually have given ourselves to live in.
I hope that we understand that this is not at all what God intended for His Son to experience.
From ACIM Workbook Lesson 49:
God’s Voice speaks to me all through the day.
1. It is quite possible to listen to God’s Voice all through the day without interrupting your regular activities in any way. ²The part of your mind in which truth abides is in constant communication with God, whether you are aware of it or not. ³It is the other part of your mind that functions in the world and obeys the world’s laws. ⁴It is this part that is constantly distracted, disorganized and highly uncertain.
2. The part that is listening to the Voice for God is calm, always at rest and wholly certain. ²It is really the only part there is. ³The other part is a wild illusion, frantic and distraught, but without reality of any kind. ⁴Try today not to listen to it. ⁵Try to identify with the part of your mind where stillness and peace reign forever. ⁶Try to hear God’s Voice call to you lovingly, reminding you that your Creator has not forgotten His Son.
I saw the animated movie, Moana again recently and I cannot help but see similarities in the teachings of Jesus and what I see there. Te Fiti is Christ as a whole which is the creators that WE ARE MEANT to be. Teka personifies the ego-mind and its desire to earn love or to destroy whatever it sees with its anger and hate. Whereas Maui mimics the belief that humanity is the one running the show and bringing all the wonderful things to pass instead of giving the Creator His due acknowledgment and gratitude. We like to praise our demi-gods as we set them up to have power over us.
The ocean reminds me of the Holy Spirit that guides, directs, and testifies, over and over, that you are the Chosen One. We each hold that position, it is not just for a special few as Lesson 49 shows us.
As I go through this experiential process of physical pain and healing from a broken leg on the 21st of January 2022, I am reminded of the nature of the transition from ego-mind to right-mindedness with God.
The Atonement is only the beginning of the correction that the Mind of the Son of God needs to take to return to His rightful state within God’s Full Embodiment.
We are each a part of that. And any delay only asks for more suffering for the Son of God which you and I are.
Jesus shared his witness as a male and perhaps as the first consciousness to have considered the possibility of separation from God.
In ACIM Jesus states he is the first to receive the Atonement and the undoing of the belief in something so impossible as creation being separated from the Creator.
I strongly suspect that there is a feminine witness to come forth that will be able to endure the emotional and psychological tortures that the ego places upon itself and will be able to survive and thrive in the Kingdom of Heaven upon the earth itself before it has fully transformed and been restored. We are all a part of this as we avail ourselves of the Atonement.
ALL will understand eventually, and God does not play favorites even if Jesus does ask us to play certain roles in the Universal Plan that will allow all parts of the Sonship to see the need and desire to return to the truth that there could be no separation from God or each other.
The ego-mind that was created at the idea of separation has participants as well but they are still part of the Sonship and our prayers of forgiveness and well-being need to go out to them.
God is mindful of each of us and wants us to return to the remembrance of Him that His glory may shine through His glorified Son whom God sees as One Whole and as His Beloved.
When God looks at any part of the Sonship He sees the whole Sonship and in that knows each and every part intimately. Believe me, you matter to HIM.
We want to seek to withstand what must be and know that it will not overwhelm us, that God IS, and all that is not of Him is not lasting or consequential in the long run.
Commit to the human side of existence, by being willing to feel all that it offers and focus on the Kingdom of God, at the same time.
Humanity has a weakness to be suseptible to mind games like “letting people get inside your head” but we must exercise the strength of our faith to move beyond that, knowing that God is our Guidance and NO OTHER has the ability to take that position.
Even if we convince ourselves that it is possible or desireable for a time. We can choose differently today.
We can know that there could be no other True Guide for ONLY GOD IS and that means ONLY HIS WILL IS REAL in any true form at all.
We can recognize that to “go after” or “attack” any individual for ANY offense means that you support the ego’s idea of separation and that to punish them is only an attempt to destroy yourself who is THE SON OF GOD.
I am NOT saying do not have boundaries and stand in the Atonement.
I AM saying that the idea of restitution and punishment must come to an end.
Because it serves the ego-mind of mental illness and does not serve truth.
It can even feed the idea of grandiosity as one claims superiority over another by deciding what is worthy of punishment.
It means we must place any situation in the hands of Jesus and the parties involved in orchestrating the Universal Plan and pray that healthier choices will be made by each, and that they will recognize their own value no longer feeling the need to harm or contain (imprison) another in any form or fashion.
THIS, to me, is the MIRACLE of A Course In Miracles because it reveals the Son of God to Himself.
Don’t get me wrong. I know it will not change overnight and there will need to be consequences for a while but just be aware that for all who get consequences there are 1000’s of attacks against humanity that go unidentified because we have driven it into the darkness and we need to be the light to clear out the darkness that holds humanity bound.
We can no longer excuse atrocities and find justifications for them.
At the very least pray a prayer of forgiveness and wholeness into the situation. This needs to be our attitude as a society and IT IS the attitude of the ATONEMENT that understands that we are all connected.
Today civilized ideas of “privacy” protect offenders who would manipulate and attack their own flesh and blood to declare #1 their existence and #2 its ability to destroy itself and others, and that no one can stop it. This is what the ego calls “freedom”.
Do not refuse to see.
That makes you an ally to the darkness.
We must recognize that not one of us can hurt without all being in pain. We are a Collective, a united entity. This will change the world we live in.
Let us not tell our children we will keep them safe when the truth is our hands are tied and they KNOW it. Do not teach them falsehoods but be honest and let them forge a new world and bring the Kingdom of God to earth.
Teach the children of our united connection to divinity and speak to them of the inner voice that will guide them when they understand this.
We need to choose to get on the same page as a Collective so that freedom is understood and self-worth is not a question for anyone.
We all see situations where we are concerned about abuse or somebody taking advantage of others who are vulnerable. The very young or the elderly are easily seen as targets but we are all wounded because of our belief in separation from God. The wounds breed fear and make us subject to manipulation and abuse of power.
Some of us are so adept at distracting ourselves that we do not see it at all.
That does not mean it is not there.
I see signs all around that walls are built to trap people in plane sight. For sexual trafficking but also for all other sorts of power plays and if they can do it in plain sight and not be called on it that just adds to the “rush” of the “fix” of the offense for the perpetrator.
Mind your own business they say but as Charles Dickens taught us Humanity IS OUR BUSINESS.
We are of One Mind as the Christ and all that you do or think affects me and mine. So be mindful of what you observe for entertainment. There is no such thing as fictional abuse because all thought has life in some form.
Even war is not the result of any individual or even a group. The presumed ability to keep secrets or have “skeletons in a closet” are what makes it possible.
War is the result of humanity ignoring the atrocities that are taking place in our everyday lives.
It is the Christ Consciousness roaring and demanding that the truth be SEEN.
All of these outbreaks of war and criminal behavior, terrorism, and shootings are the symptoms of the psychotic illness that the Mind of Christ is currently trapped in and as long as we see these things as separate from ourselves they will continue to manifest and it is ENTIRELY UNNECESSARY.
IF YOU WANT TO END WAR START TALKING ABOUT THESE THINGS AND CLEANSE SOCIETY’S CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE BELIEF THAT POWER TRIPS ON ANYONE ARE NECESSARY OR ACCEPTABLE!
What is the counsel of the Holy Spirit regarding attack or power plays according to my current understanding?
To put a spotlight on the situation generically, with forgiveness.
Our individual stories give us the language to tell the Son of God what He is doing to Himself. And to expose it for the NONSENSE that it is.
Acknowledge the betrayal, abandonment, and abuse you see in your life and forgive it. Call it what it is in forgiveness and establish new paradigms of healthy boundaries that allow all to be free, safe, and prosperous.
Do not fear the harm that can come to the body. Understand that the greater loss is what can happen to the mind and heart of creation.
These are the things that I want to implement into my everyday existence because I believe it serves the Whole of the Collective Consciousness of Creation/Christ.
Till next time, God bless, bye for now.
Breaking a leg can be the catalyst that adjusts your mental clarity as well as your physical.
I am finding that accepting forgiveness as a lifestyle and allowing the Holy Spirit to be your judge places you in an interesting place.
I choose to believe what Spirit says about my safety and the intentions of others rather than what they say OR what I would like it to be.
That is a bit of an aha moment that I am experiencing right now.
I have distress if I try to fit in or play a game where they think I am just a pawn and do not know what’s going on. (Which is how the ego weaves its illusion of “life”.)
I have to admit I do not necessarily LIKE this awareness that I have but I am beginning to see that it is something that I cannot ignore.
Bringing the situation or my feelings to someone’s attention just gives them an opportunity to deny that what the Spirit has told me is real.
My trust is in God and His Witness via the Holy Spirit above all else.
I am not sure if telling them is the honorable thing to do or do I just “ghost” them? That does not seem decent somehow.
I will await further instruction from the Holy Spirit.
At this point, I do know that I need to at least be honest with myself.
I sense that I need to be honest with them as well and let people know when I do not feel safe in their presence.
And maybe I need to be better about expressing gratitude to those with whom I do feel safe as well.
It will be interesting to see what life looks like even a few months from now.
(Living the Atonement)
Till next time, God bless, bye for now.
