All things I think I see reflect ideas.
* Jesus tells us that this is what “existence” is, IDEAS.
1. This is salvation’s keynote: What I see reflects a process in my mind, which starts with my idea of what I want.
* Okay, look at the world.
*See what is not becoming or helpful or desired.
* Then realize that CHRIST THINKS THAT IS WHAT HE WANTS.
* You KNOW Christ, He is INNOCENT and PURE.
* This is NOT what he wants not even in your tiny part of HIM.
²From there, the mind makes up an image of the thing the mind desires, judges valuable, and therefore seeks to find.
* How many sadistic and masochistic things will we see as real and want to attack?
* Like the deranged person who sees spiders crawling all around him WE “BELIEVE” that we deserve these terrors of war, rape, theft, greed, abandonment, betrayal, but COULD THEY BE REAL when GOD, the Original, Universal CREATOR designed us to be as HE IS?
* Is THIS what you would have be real? Or would you be willing to “float” through a fabricated delusion for a bit and bear witness that God IS and these things are only bad dreams?
³These images are then projected outward, looked upon, esteemed as real and guarded as one’s own.
⁴From insane wishes comes an insane world.
* I have seen one that says, “Women do not allow me to engage with the world.” And he holds that belief so firmly in his sights that this is what he experiences when he is around women UNLESS they give him absolute acknowledgment, regardless of their responsibilities in the world at home or at work.
⁵From judgment comes a world condemned.
* Oh yes, it is ALREADY DONE! Our stamp of approval and witness to its “reality” confirms it.
⁶And from forgiving thoughts a gentle world comes forth, with mercy for the holy Son of God, to offer him a kindly home where he can rest a while before he journeys on, and help his brothers walk ahead with him, and find the way to Heaven and to God.
* THIS is a misleading statement to me. I am not sure what brought it about except the denial to accept the principle and therefore confuse the “tense” or “timing of the situation.
* At the same time there is a bit of this in all of us BECAUSE without it in our “makeup” we would not exist. Interestingly, that is what Ken gave us. A way to not exist and to cancel out God and Christ, and SPIRIT, even while we still had the ability to “think.”
* I want to make that statement from my experience and put it in the timing that I have witnessed.
* From Heaven, and in God, where we all are and have never left we are able to forgive the idea of separation and bring a “gentle dream” to the Son of God that allows Him TIME to correct the “ideas” that have him believing in separation from Father and All That Is.
* The Atonement gives us that UNIVERSAL PLATFORM to stand on with confidence. First in faith and then in knowledge.
2. Our Father, Your ideas reflect the truth, and mine apart from Yours but make up dreams.
* This is why we want to allow Father to be our eyes and ears and breath and hope and everything.
²Let me behold what only Yours reflect, for Yours and Yours alone establish truth.
* Let me behold what only YOUR IDEAS reflect, for YOUR IDEAS and YOUR IDEAS alone establish truth.
* Let me SEE what ONLY YOUR IDEAS REFLECT, for YOUR IDEAS and YOUR IDEAS (THOUGHTS) ALONE ESTABLISH TRUTH.
* I can, and will, say that it is this that allows me to stay in the world of horrific chaos and delusion presented to me by the witness of SPIRIT showing me our confusion. Like Daniel in the Lion’s Den, I know WHO STANDS WITH ME and that I will not leave this sphere till my work is done here.
* AND because I see the IDEAS that God Thinks they reflect back to me I have JOY in my existence and WILL PRAISE HIM ETERNALLY.
