My mind holds only what I think with God.
* This reminder is important to me. I do not want to ruminate on past issues but allow thoughts to enter my mind that are put there by the (W)holy Spirit.
* I recognize them because they are clear and complete, and are not analytical unless it is an actual question.
* I get those sometimes when someone is going to die. Like, “Did you want to say something to so and so about thus and such?” I reflect on it and decide yes or no. Then I find out they passed shortly thereafter. It has happened several times. The thing is that I feel I am still able to speak to them after they pass and often with a lot more of an ability to be heard.
1(123) I thank my Father for His gifts to me.
* What a delight it is to know that all that is or ever may be is of and from Him!!!
* It is a treasure I will not give up.
* Some try to say that there is no god only a Higher Self and I have no agreement or witness of this. We may have a Higher Self but it is still given by God.
* He gave us our very identity by giving His ALL to us and He is the ONLY Essence that Unites us because ONLY together are we as Powerful as Him.
* This is something that I have only recently come to understand. “He gave us our very identity by giving His ALL to us and He is the ONLY Essence that Unites us.”
(124) Let me remember I am one with God.
* In remembering that I am one with God I also have the witness that I am one with all that is or ever may be.
* What comfort, joy, delight, lack of fear, lack of lack, and hope this brings to me.
* Taking away “to” eliminates the act of sharing that is a critical and essential part of experiencing that God IS. I suspect that it actually ignites the energy or essence that we call LOVE.
* Freedom of expression is something that God gives us because He IS All That Is, as well. So, I can say “that is a critical and essential part of experiencing that God IS” instead of “which is a critical and essential part of experiencing that God IS” if I choose to. AND the use of the translation capabilities of the (W)holy Spirit will allow the meaning and intent to be understood.

My thoughts* on ACIM Urtext Lesson 143, for May 22, 2024.
See EDIT below.
My mind holds only what I think with God.
* Throughout my lifetime I have heard different thoughts and voices. I mean the echo of the comments and instructions of parents, siblings, classmates, television, and so on. A lot of the inner work that I have done has been to gain trust and confidence in my ability to hear God’s Voice AND to understand that other’s can hear His Voice for themselves as well.
* Granted, my children felt unsupported and some still do because they want me to tell them what to do or have no voice at all and I just cannot do that.
* My biological mother couldn’t do that either. Even though she lived in a care facility for thirty-five years of her life unable to speak she spoke to others every day just by being there.
* When I found out where she was after fifty years of absence I was still coming to grips with the death of my thirty-nine-year-old daughter five years prior. I was new to the teachings of A Course in Miracles and accepted for a time the way it had been presented in the world.
* To me, it seemed to be a hands-off relationship with anything and everything to align with the teaching of Jesus. And all that I could really do was trust that we each had chosen the path we were on to give us the suffering that we needed to welcome God’s Presence back within our psyche.
* It left me unwilling to fight my siblings for my mother’s right to be alive and have a voice. My mind glitched and I forgot that I had computer skills that I know for a fact she could have utilized to be able to share her thoughts.
* This poignant event stays in my mind and I believe it is the fuel behind my witness that we ARE to engage with the world as guided by the Holy Spirit and not remain separate.
* Communion with the Son is the DEAREST TREASURE to God, Our Father Who Art In Heaven. Because God is the One True God it is impossible for His Will not to be met. But it is possible for His Son to Whom He gave all that He is to deny the Gift of Existence and Communion with not only God but our Brethren as well.
* THIS is the only thing that we are lacking and it is by our choice. Communion is something to be cherished. Not feared or seen as attack but something that we want to be grateful for.
* We all want to be seen and we feel seen when we are heard, as does God. It is the sharing of His Presence in the Witness of the Love between the Father and the Son that makes Existence in Eternal Life, Holy Instant by Holy Instant, Heavenly.
1(125) In quiet I receive God’s Word today.
* I know that I AM and that creation is the Whole Body of His Son throughout all time, dimensions, and any other descriptive form there may be or not be.
(126) All that I give is given to myself.
* Yes. So, I want to give TRUST, LISTENING, SEEING, VALUE, WORTHINESS, APPRECIATION, LOVE, as well as, COMFORT and ASSURANCE/FAITH in their capability to have all the blessings they are willing to receive.
EDIT * Does that mean that I will get it from any individual? No. But I will get it from God and in so doing I have a witness of His Existence.
