A
Course In Miracles and
Forgiveness

Origin
of the Course:
The Course
came as an answer to a call for help
from two people, Dr. Helen Schucman
and Dr. William Thetford, professors
of medical psychology at Columbia
University's College of Physicians and
Surgeons in New York City. They worked
together in a prestigious and highly
academic setting. Their relationship
was difficult with each often blaming
the other for their own lack of peace.
One day, to Helen's surprise, Bill
announced, "there must be another way"
in which they could relate to each
other. Helen agreed to join him to
find out what this better way could
be. This is an example of what the
Course would call a ÔHoly InstantÕ
where, instead of seeking to separate
from another, a decision is made to
join in a common goal. Almost
immediately Helen began to experience
a heightened awareness, highly
symbolic dreams and strange images
which lasted three months and preceded
the actual writing of the Course. She
also started to hear an inner voice
which she knew to be Jesus. This was a
further shock to Helen who described
herself as atheistic in belief. During
October 1965 Jesus told Helen, "This
is A Course In Miracles, please take
notes". Helen described this voice in
the following way:
It made no
sound, but seemed to be giving me a
kind of rapid, inner dictation which I
took down in a shorthand notebook. The
writing was never automatic. It could
be interrupted at anytime and later
picked up again. (Preface to A Course
in Miracles)
Helen would
take down what the voice said and the
following day, before work started,
Bill would type it up. This process
lasted seven years with the Course
being published in 1976.
What
the Course consists of:
The Course
consists of three books: Text,
Workbook for Students and Manual for
Teachers arranged in a self-study
format. The text sets forth the
thought system of the Course and is
largely theoretical. The concepts in
the text are practically applied
through the 365 lessons of the
Workbook, one for each day of the
year. The Manual for Teachers provided
answers to the more common questions a
student might ask.
Two
supplements to the Course were
published later entitled
Psychotherapy: Purpose, Process and
Practice and The Song of Prayer.
What
the Course says:
The Course
makes it clear that it is not the only
spiritual path we should follow -
There are many thousands of other
forms, all with the same outcome
(M.1.4:2). Although anyone can derive
benefit from the Course it will not
appeal to everyone. It is written on a
high intellectual level and for most
of us it requires a life time of
patient study and practice.
Many Christian
terms are used and there are over 700
references to the Bible. However, the
Course uses many of these terms with
entirely different implications. We
are not depicted as sinful, guilty
creatures who have displeased God and
are thus worthy of punishment unless
we sacrifice and atone for our sins.
Instead our sinless, formless
spiritual nature is emphasised. Jesus
seeks to awaken us to this truth about
ourselves through his path of
forgiveness.
The CourseÕs
Christian context is often a problem
for students. However, the Course
emphasises we are never upset by what
we perceive in the world but only the
unforgiven content of our mind that
the world is mirroring back to us. In
this way we can even use the CourseÕs
language to help us with forgiveness.
A similar
problem often exists for students with
regard to Jesus being the author of
the Course. As he says of himself:
I am
constantly being perceived as a
teacher to be exalted or rejected, but
I do not accept either perception of
myself. .... Some bitter idols have
been made of him who would be only
brother to the world. Forgive him your
illusions, and behold how dear a
brother he would be to you.
(T-4.I.6:7, C-5.5:7-8)
Here again we
are being given an opportunity to see
what the symbol of Jesus is reflecting
back to us. For those wishing to
explore this further please see my
article Forgiving Jesus on my website
(www.acfip.org).
The Course is
written on two levels - metaphysical
and practical. Metaphysics
investigates what is truth and what is
illusion. The following quotation is
from the metaphysical level of the
course.
You dwell not
here, but in eternity.You travel but
in dreams, while safe at
home.(T-13.VII.17:6-7)
The practical
teachings of the Course seek to awake
us to the reality contained in that
statement.
Jesus teaches
us that this universe is not our real
home. What is true is eternal which
means it was never born. Anything that
has a beginning must have an end and
as such is not real. As God is eternal
so must His creations be. His
creations exist outside of time and
space and therefore can not be
threatened by change or death. What we
mistakenly take as real changes all
the time and death can strike at any
moment. The Course sums this up on the
first page of the Text:
Nothing real
can be threatened.Nothing unreal
exists.Herein lies the peace of
God(T-introduction.2:2-4)
Our true
reality is really eternal, changeless,
perfect formless spirit in complete
oneness with God. What God did not
create does not exist, apart from in a
dream. In contrast our world is one of
form, bound by time, is always
changing and is far from perfect. Thus
God could not of made this physical
universe or know of its existence.
What we take as reality, this
time-space world, is really a dream
from which forgiveness will awaken us.
Its only value is as a classroom of
forgiveness.
Of course, the
world does not seem like a dream to
most of us. But then our dreams last
night also seemed real when we were
dreaming them. Why does the Course
refer to the universe as a dream? The
symbology of the Adam and Eve story in
the Old Testament can help us here.
Adam and Eve were happy in the garden
(Heaven) until an idea came that
perhaps things could be even better if
they ate of the forbidden fruit. This
fruit is described in the Course as
the thought of separation and is
referred to as the ego. To be separate
from God and do our own thing is
impossible. But to dream of it is not.
In our desire for autonomy and
individuality the Course says we fell
asleep so our wishes could come true
in our dreams.
Into this
dream we bring fearful thoughts of
what we have done to our creator.
Believing we have knocked God off his
throne and stolen his power has left
us with a strong thought that we have
sinned. This thought must leave us
feeing very guilty and we expect there
will be a just punishment forthcoming
from God. This is depicted in Genesis
as God storming into the garden of
Eden looking for the two transgressors
who are trying to hide from his
retribution behind a bush. On being
caught they turn to their egoÕs for
advice on how to handle this
situation. The egoÕs advice is, as
always, to deny and project. ÒItÕs not
my fault,Ó protests Adam, ÒIt was Eve
who tempted meÓ. ÒBut I was persuaded
by the snake,Ó protests Eve. ItÕs love
that makes Heaven Ògo aroundÓ but in
our dream world it has become guilt.
Now Òwe travel
but in dreamsÓ, forgetting we are
Òsafe at homeÓ. We seem to have got
what we wanted - separation in
exchange for the oneness of God and
His creation which the Course calls
the Christ. Jesus describes himself in
the Course as a man who remembered he
was the Christ, as we all are. The
Christ shares in the love and majesty
of God for there is only a perfect
oneness in Heaven. Heaven cannot be
understood by us who only know time
and space, it has to be experienced.
In this dream
we strive to be happy believing that
with enough time and opportunity the
world will provide us with what we
want. ÒIf only I can find the right
partner, earn enough money, maintain
my health, live long, become
successful in my job, etc. then I will
be happy,Ó we say to ourselves. Even
if all the conditions are met there
will always be a lurking fear in the
back of our minds that any of these
conditions could so easily change. The
stock market could crash, our partner
may get sick, war could be declared
and so forth. We seem to prefer all
this uncertainty to honestly saying to
ourselves, ÒI have been wrong. There
can never be any lasting peace here.
Perhaps there is another way.Ó
(T-30.I.12) And like the prodigal son,
in the end all living things will
decide to return to their loving
Father in Heaven.
The world we
have appeared to make is based on
murder. We believe, in our
unconscious, we had to kill God and
take His power to make our world. This
thought now manifests here in our
dream as every living thing needs to
kill something else to continue living
and spend much of its time protecting
itself or its young from being killed
in turn. In the last century over 100
million people died in wars and many
more were maimed, raped and tortured.
We might say that we are vegetarians
but still another life form must
always die for us to continue. In
contrast to Heaven (where need does
not exist) ours is a world of scarcity
where we fight over the resources. We
need to ask ourselves the question,
ÒCould a loving God have created such
a world?Ó (T-13.in.3)
Forgiveness is
the Ôother wayÕ which seeks to gently
wake us from our nightmare of
separation and murder and return us to
the awareness of our true home in
Heaven. This dream seems so real that
without help we would never awaken.
When the separation from God appeared
to happen (it never did in reality) we
took with us into the dream a memory
of God (to borrow a phrase from Dr.
Kenneth Wapnick) we could never quite
forget. The Course calls this the Holy
Spirit and without His help we cannot
awaken. In this book I have referred
to the Holy Spirit as our inner guide.
The Holy
Spirit is described as the remaining
communication link between God and His
separated Sons. In order to fulfil
this special function the Holy Spirit
has assumed a dual function. He knows
because He is part of God; He
perceives because He was sent to save
humanity. (C-6.3:1-3 )
The Holy
Spirit knows the truth of our oneness
with God but also recognises our
illusions so that He can teach us how
to overlook them. Jesus is the
manifestation of the Holy Spirit and
is ever present to help us with our
lessons of forgiveness if we but
invite him in. As Jesus has
transcended his ego his patience is
infinite and he will stay with us
until the end of time to help us all
wake up.
After the
seeming separation from God our minds
became split into three parts, the
ego, the Holy Spirit and the sleeping
Son of God who has to decide which of
the two voices to listen to. Although
the Holy Spirit is always present in
our minds ready to teach us another
way of looking at the world, we fear
to turn to Him for help. We think we
have successfully abandoned God,
broken up Heaven in the process and
escaped into our self-made world where
He cannot find us. To have GodÕs
representative in our mind, the Voice
for God, is frightening and we prefer
to turn to our ego for help. ÒAfter
all, does not the Holy Spirit work for
God,Ó we exclaim! ÒAnd if we turn to
Him for help He will punish us for our
sinsÓ.
Without the
Holy SpiritÕs help we are really lost
as we have only the advice of the ego
left. The ego is a thought we have
made and, like any creation, wants to
live. Its advice to us is only to
ensure its own survival. Its counsel
is that to escape from our dreadful
feelings of guilt over the separation
we need to deny the problem and
project it onto the world. Until we
learn to try another way we are doomed
to repeat our errors. This reinforces
our guilt which in turn maintains the
ego thought system. The egoÕs ÔfoodÕ
is guilt and following its advice will
always lead to creating more guilt.
Although we
seemed to have achieved the goal of
separation and individuality we are
left feeling that there is something
missing in our lives, we no longer
feel complete. The Holy Spirit would
tell us that what is missing is the
oneness with all life and God. But
fearing this Voice we have only the
ego thought system to turn to. The ego
tells us that there is something
lacking in us and we can only find it
by looking in the world for it. We try
to fill the bottomless pit in
ourselves by plunging into work,
eating, drinking, sex, entertainment
and above all by Ôfalling in loveÕ.
Another person or object now becomes
our substitute for God - what the
Course describes as a Ôspecial loveÕ
relationship. As long as each person
fulfils the needs of the other the
couple remains content for a time. But
soon as one breaks this bargain the
old feeling of emptiness arises. The
door over the inner pain opens again
and we try desperately to close it.
Our ego will counsel us to attack the
other in the hope that s/he will
become guilty enough to change his or
her behaviour. If this fails the
relationship is likely to end and
another sought instead.
At this
difficult time we could also turn to
forgiveness instead of attack. The
strife we are experiencing will seem
all too familiar. We can ask
ourselves, ÒPerhaps there is another
way of looking at this situation. What
can I lose by trying?Ó (Lesson 33)
This is an invitation to bring the
power of the Holy Spirit into our
minds. Our partner can be transformed
from enemy to saviour becoming a
mirror to our guilt. The relationship
is now transformed into the goal of a
holy relationship where truth and
forgiveness and not ego needs take
first place. Nor does it take the
other to think this way for it is our
change of perception that will bring
us peace. The relationship may still
end but the forgiveness learnt will
take us one more step to peace.
We do not have
to learn about love, truth and joy for
that was eternally given us and but
awaits our welcome.(T-13.VII.9) What
we do need to do is to remove the
blocks to that awareness and that is
the role of forgiveness. Our world is
a world where perception rules. (This
is unknown in Heaven - in perfect
oneness there is nothing to perceive.)
Our need is to correct our perception
with the aid of the Holy Spirit or
Jesus.
What we think
is what we perceive. Believing
separation to be real that is exactly
what we perceive around us. But when
we awaken from the dream and realise
all is one we can only perceive
everything as part of ourselves. To
attack another will then be impossible
as it will seem as if we are stamping
on our own feet. Everyone here
perceives a different world because no
two people think exactly the same. We
can observe this in ourselves when we
change moods. When we feel happy the
world looks a far nicer place than
when we are distressed.
Forgiveness
teaches us that the world but reflects
our thinking and therefore it is
pointless to try to change the world
to make ourselves happy. As I quoted
earlier:
Projection
makes perception. The world you see is
what you gave it, nothing more than
that. But though it is no more than
that, it is not less. Therefore, to
you it is important. It is the witness
to your state of mind, the outside
picture of an inward condition. As a
man thinketh, so does he perceive.
Therefore, seek not to change the
world, but choose to change your mind
about the world. (T-21.in.1:1-7)
Of course, we
all have our preferences with regard
to clothes, climate, food, etc., which
is normally linked to our
conditioning. There is nothing wrong
in this. However, understanding that
what we perceive in the world is
mirroring our state of mind is the
road to lasting peace and joy. Now we
have the power, with the aid of the
Holy Spirit, to change our mind about
the world. We realise its foolish to
blame people and circumstances for our
unhappiness. Nobody and nothing has
that power over us. Until this is seen
we are forced to defend the world we
have made up by using defence and
attack. It takes a lot of work to prop
up our illusions about ourselves. If
we are invested in being a victim we
are forced to see a world populated by
persecutors just waiting to have a go
at us. Our perception of the world
becomes highly selective, filtering
out what does not support our beliefs
and selecting that which reinforces
them. Life now becomes a
self-fulfilling prophecy.
Forgiveness is
a process where we start to learn our
perceptual errors and decide we wish
to see things differently. As we
correct out perceptions we begin to
undo the blocks we have created and
true perception or spiritual vision
starts to dawn on our minds. The world
we once saw as a hostile place out to
attack us was but merely mirroring our
own belief that attack will get us
what we want. When we think anger
would get us something of value we
also believe others will be thinking
the same. This must result in us
feeling insecure for now we are
waiting to be attacked. This is why
Jesus asks us to teach what we want to
learn. (T-6.I.6.)
Forgiving this
false perception immediately
transforms the world we live in. Now,
when others attack us we can see they
think like we once did and do not
realise they are actually reinforcing
their own sense of vulnerability. Our
new perception is that their attack is
a call for our help. (T-12.I.5) Not
that they are aware of this, which
does not matter, it is that we are now
aware of what they are doing as we
have forgiven this behaviour in
ourselves. Wishing to reinforce the
love we feel growing within us we are
happy to extend our love to those who
attack us.
The form our
behaviour will take we cannot know in
advance, for what we have learned is
under the direction of the Holy Spirit
to which we are learning to turn more
and more. If we are judged or attacked
by another we may be guided to say
something, to remain silent, to walk
away - the appropriate loving response
will be given if we are open to our
inner guide.
To the ego the
body is its home. How the body looks,
what others think of it becomes of
prime importance. When it is sick or
in pain it is easy for us to focus on
the seeming reality of the world. Now
the Holy Spirit seems a liar as we
say, ÒDonÕt tell me this world is not
real. I am in pain!Ó. But the body
does not have a mind of its own. It
must be told by the sleeping Son of
God what it must feel, when it is to
be born and die, whether to be sick or
well. With the ego as our guide we
play the game of making our body our
reality. Once we change our allegiance
to the Holy Spirit the bodyÕs function
will change. Now the body is perceived
as a loving tool of communication
instead of as a weapon of attack. This
will also produce gains in vitality
and health. The purpose of the body
will change, no longer being seen as
who we think we are. Instead it
becomes a vehicle in which we can
learn our lessons in our daily
classrooms of forgiveness.
How long this
journey home takes is entirely up to
us. All the answers to all our
problems are existing in this present
moment, just waiting to be accepted.
The Holy Spirit sees time as an
illusion we have made as we could have
no separate world without it. The ego
relies on its past experience to try
and solve present problems, and always
fails. The Holy SpiritÕs answers to
our problems are like gifts just
waiting to be unwrapped and received.
We do not have to earn them or suffer
or pray to receive them but simply
want them with all our heart. The Holy
Spirit will never go against our free
will but will come instantly if He is
made wholly welcome. (T-13.III.9) But
while we think we know better and
trust the counsel of our ego the gifts
must wait for the day we are ready to
accept them. These gifts are but
various forms of forgiveness perfectly
tailored to match the complexity of
our problems. In time we learn His way
works and will turn more and more to
Him for help.
Step by step
as we tread the path of forgiveness,
we will be kindly and gently led from
our nightmares to happy dreams of
forgiveness. (T-13.VII.9) The world we
once perceived as dark and threatening
will start to be perceived
differently. Former enemies are now
perceived as our saviours as they
offer us the chance to forgive what we
have been projecting onto them. Our
days become dedicated to finding peace
through forgiveness. Our bodies gain
vitality as they serves a holy
purpose, no longer being perceived as
our identity. When all our lessons are
finally learnt we will perceive the
Christ in all living things. We
realise that there is nothing to
forgive for what God created is
perfect and needs no forgiveness.
Further, having left our ego behind
there is nothing unhealed to project
and therefore nothing to forgive.
With
forgiveness complete we enter what the
Course calls Ôthe real worldÕ. It is
still this world but seen differently.
Now we walk quietly in peace. Finding
the Christ within our own mind it is
now impossible to see anything else in
the world. People are perceived as
either giving love or asking for it.
(T-12.II.1) This is the judgement of
the Holy Spirit and so becomes ours.
Whether the body lives or dies is not
important. It will be known when it is
time to lay it aside, just as
everything else is known. Choice has
gone to be replaced by an inner
certainty and the need for forgiveness
is over.

Forgiveness story
I
built up a strong hate relationship
with the man who owns the towns
hardware store. I often had to go in
there and found him the rudest, most
overbearing rip-off merchant I'd ever
met. After 8 months or so, I vowed
never to go in there again, though it
mean't a lot of trouble for me. I also
decided to put anyone else off going
there.
One
day, I urgently needed photocopying
done of some childrens sanctuary songs
for a group the next day. Songs like
"The more we are together", "You are
beautiful , etc. Of course he has the
only photocopier in town. I went in
hoping to slip down to his photocopy
room and do it myself but instead, he
came with me and proceeded to do the
photocopying. As he did it, he got
interested in the songs and asked me
how they went.
I
began to sing very very reluctantly
these very spiritual songs. He joined
in in a gorgeous baritone, rich and
full. I think we sang our way through
every song!!! This transformed
everything. I didn't intend to
'forgive', we just joined and it
happened. His voice was so beautiful
that I was transfixed and the
ridiculousness of the situation
appealed to my nature.
I
adore the man now and see so many
sides of him that were invisible
before. Although I still end up buying
three things I don't need when I go
into his shop, I can admire the fact
that he is the only thriving business
in the village! I feel so much joy
when I remember this incident. I think
it should be on a film.
Importantly
to me, he didn't change at all, he
didn't have to. I wish I could do this
as easily with all the other people
who annoy me!

Message from
the Arcturians - September 6,
2020
Dear
readers, welcome to our message.
All
is proceeding according to plan
although it may not seem that way
when observed with three dimensional
eyes and through concepts about how
a spiritually evolving universe
should look.
Over
eons of time, dark energies became
deeply embedded allowing them to
penetrate every aspect of life on
earth. Generation after generation
has been and still is being taught
that duality and separation are the
reality. These energies are
gradually surfacing in order to be
recognized for what they represent
and eventually clear as people cease
energetically feeding, maintaining,
and sustaining them for this is all
that holds them in place.
Most
people are experiencing high levels
of anxiety at this time. Do not
resist these feelings in the false
belief that as an awakened person
you shouldn't have these types of
emotions. Simply acknowledge them,
remember that they are always
impersonal, and then move on. Worry
and anxiety are not qualities of
Source and therefore have no law to
support them.
As
you evolve, your energy changes and
begins to vibrate at a higher
frequency causing you to
automatically be more sensitive to
the energy of people, places, and
things. This can result in
experiencing emotions like fear,
anger, anxiety, etc. that are not
yours. Be alert not claim them as
yours, but simply allow them to pass
through and out with out giving them
power.
We
are aware of what most of you are
feeling during these times and we
say to you that all is proceeding
according to plan. Do not get
involved in the energy of outer
appearances but rather stand back as
an observer, not denying or trying
to change, heal, and correct
appearances but rather as a watcher
watching from a place of detached
awareness, conscious of the reality
underlying all things.
Earth
is a spiritual universe peopled with
children of God and governed by
Love. However, the majority are
still hypnotized by appearances to
the contrary. Try to remember always
that everything you see, hear,
taste, touch, and smell are concepts
of a spiritual reality that is being
translated by the hypnotized
collective mind as being good or bad
according to current duality and
separation belief.
When
you find yourself reacting to some
thing or some person in a negative
way use the occasion to honestly
examine your beliefs. Accumulated
obsolete three dimensional beliefs
often remain unknown and deeply
hidden in consciousness until
something occurs to activate and
bring awareness to them. It is at
this point that you simply and with
no guilt or resistance, ask
yourself; "What am I believing that
is making me feel this way?"
There
are no pairs of opposites in
Reality, good appearances are just
as illusory as the bad ones. Reality
is spiritual but most have not yet
attained a level of energetic
resonance capable of aligning with
higher resonating frequencies and so
believes they do not exist. This is
why a great deal of trust is
necessary during these present
times. Not a continuing trust in
government, organized religion,
friends, family, or the so called
experts, but a trust in truth, that
the reality is and always has been
One omnipresent, omniscient,
omnipotent Divine Consciousness
manifesting ITself as all that is.
Since
God/Divine Consciousness is all that
is, IT is and always has been the
only cause and therefore the only
effect. Ponder this.
Awakening
to truth does not mean you suddenly
stop living your life. You are on
earth at this time to evolve into
enlightenment while in physical
form, not to deny, hate, or try and
avoid humanhood as some religions
teach. The days of convents and
monasteries with rigid rules and
regulations regarding spirituality
are long past. Mankind is ready to
learn how to be in the world, but
not of it.
Enlightenment
simply means living each day from
your highest attained level of
awareness which then allows more
truth to unfold. Do what needs to be
done--go to work, cook dinner, wash
dishes, mow the lawn, perform
surgery, teach, repair cars or do
absolutely nothing...but do it
conscious of the fact that all
activity is spiritual, with none
being more spiritual than another.
Yes, we realize that many activities
have become perverted by human
minds, but the reality is that
activity is how individuals express
the innate qualities of Source that
lie within them.
There
will always be some people you
dislike which frequently comes as
the result of some past life
interaction having nothing to do
with the present. Other times it is
because certain individuals seem
totally out of sync with your belief
system. Do not judge yourself or
them as bad or un-spiritual but
rather bring to mind that no one is
good or evil in and of themselves
since God is the reality of every
individual. Know that they are
hypnotized and acting out from
impersonal false beliefs based in
duality and separation regarding
themselves and others.
This
does not mean you try to be best
friends, or ignore what may be
troublesome or hurtful actions on
their part but rather means that
after you remember the truth about
them, you then take whatever human
footsteps may be required. Being a
loving and spiritually empowered
person never means being another's
doormat, nor does it mean "walking
on eggs" in order to keep a false
sense of peace. Silently greet every
person you meet as the Christ, and
send Light to those far or near in
the realization that they "know not
what they do".
The
need for laws and jails will exist
for awhile yet, but the collective
is becoming increasingly aware that
actions and solutions based in
unconditional love serve to
rehabilitate and heal better than
force and aggression.
It
is a powerful time to be on earth
because the ascension process now
taking place is allowing souls to
heal and complete issues that they
may have been carrying though
lifetimes. Many wanted to come but
were not permitted for some reason
or another. Much is yet to come that
will awaken increasingly more
individuals and give credence to
what we are saying.
Many
are and more will yet suffer and
even die during this process, but
know that most are volunteers who
lovingly chose to assist in
awakening the people of earth. For
some, their experiences were karmic
completions chosen to be done
publicly for others to see and learn
from. For others it is a personal
choice as to how they can best serve
the ascension process, but all are
helping in their way to bring
universal consciousness out of the
dark ages and into the Light.
Those
in the higher dimensions are
observing and sending high fives to
all even as appearances on earth
would testify to total failure. Know
that things are not as they appear
to be. All is proceeding according
to plan. Rejoice even in the midst
of dark events for these things
reflect earth's journey out of
density and the processes bringing
change.
Many
continue to awaken out of the
hypnotized sleep of erroneous belief
in spite of continuing attempts by
some to keep mankind locked in old
energy. Remain alert and aligned
with your intuition when you read
channels, watch the news, or observe
the actions of others for much of it
is not what it seems to be.
Opening
to higher levels of awareness is
inevitable and cannot be avoided.
Put off yes, but never avoided for
every person is a Divine Being, an
expression of God whether they like
it or not. This is a fact that can
never change regardless of how many
lifetimes a person spends in denial.
Be
at peace dear ones, rest in your
heart, and meditate often.
Meditation need not be the rigid
structured process that most of you
were taught when learning to
meditate. These methods were and are
necessary for those unable to relax
or allow themselves to be silent
without the help of structure. The
purpose of meditation is nothing
more than to reach a place of silent
and secret alignment with the "still
small voice" within. The process of
getting there is what all the
structured guidelines have been
about.
Resting
in "I and the father are one" can be
done anyplace and at any time with
eyes open or shut--a pause at your
desk, a trip to the bathroom,
stopping for a red light, sitting
under a tree, walking down a busy
street, or being at the bedside of
someone who is ill. Every activity
of daily living offers an
opportunity to center, align with,
and silently realize; "I am Divine
Consciousness". Eventually and
without conscious effort, you begin
to live meditation 24/7 and it
becomes no longer something you do,
but something you are.
Be
not afraid dear ones, for you are
exactly where you planned to be
before incarnating. The planet is
becoming increasingly filled with
awakened souls who have chosen to
assist in earth's transition to a
higher frequency. What you are
witnessing is a world that is
experiencing the strong and painful
labor pains necessary for birthing a
new world consciousness based in
love and truth.
Allow
the process dear ones. Allow the
process and hold your Light in spite
of any and all personal or global
appearances for Light is the only
reality.
