How can I be the victim of a world that can be completely undone if I so choose? My chains are loosened. I can drop them off merely by desiring to do so. The prison door is open. I can leave it simply by walking out. Nothing holds me in this world. Only my wish to stay keeps me a prisoner I would give up insane wishes, and walk into the sunlight at last. (Review Lesson of A Course In Miracles Lesson 31)
I love it! i love it! I love it! No matter in which situation I find myself I refuse to be the victim of it. This has been my complete salvation. Every day situation appear that make me believe that I have been unfairly treated. And it only depends on me, how I handle them. Who do I choose to be? The holy son of God?
This is not a comfortable teaching, it has nothing to do with comfort or how everything is love and peace, this is where the rubber meets the road. It all depends on a decision in my mind. And I can see how the imagery around me changes in the same moment when I take the decision.
The other day I had to wait for my car in Walmart wandering around through the aisle, I saw a lot of things that created a need for having them in me. I started to feel horrible, since I just perceived lack and the idea that I can’t have them because I can’t afford them. I already found myself getting fearful when I took the decision not to be the victim of this situation. The next thing that happened was that I ran into a brother, I asked for help and another brother showed up as well. So there we where creating a portal of light in the middle of Walmart, standing in the dedication of our singular purpose not to follow the laws of the world any longer but to leave space and time right there and then. Right here and now actually. All fear and lack are gone and what is left is love and peace that does not come from a result of anything, but just from the decision to let my mind be how it truly is. Which is giving and extending itself all the time. How then can I perceive lack, when I am giving myself away? Lack appeared when I started to demand from the universe rather than giving myself away.
There is always something you can give no matter who you think you are, or where you think you are. You can give right now, what are you waiting for?
The lesson for today from A Course In Miracles is truly amazing and helpful to me. My mind tends to be preoccupied with hundreds of thoughts and ideas and problems and opinions and other stuff that makes it very hard to be free right now. In the midst of all that overwhelming life there is Jesus and his clear message that simplifies everything and brings all my worries doubts and fears to a halt. He just tells me that I have one problem. Yes, just one. In that moment I gather my fractured mind together and accept Jesus’ statement. My one problem is that I think I am separate from God. Let me recognize the problem so it can be solved. I just recognized the problem. I think I am separate from God. In an instant of frantic fear of separation and abandonment I created this whole world and gave it all my power. Then I carried on with my life thinking I could not do anything to change my world. Trapped in the prison I made up for myself, I saw tons of problems with no solutions anywhere in sight. And it is true there is no solution to my problem. Actually me trying to find a solution is what the problem is. Because I don’t even know what the problem is. Lesson 5 tells me: "I am never upset for the reason I think." How can I know the problem then. This whole world is all based on a wrong perspective and perception. So here comes Jesus telling me clearly what the problem is and now the solution is in sight as well. I know that that has to be it, because it did not come from me. My best thinking has gotten me into this mess that I call my world, so where is my best thinking going to take me? Probably not out of here. The Course In Miracles is this sane voice in my mind telling me clearly that I have only one problem and that this problem has already be solves. Since my mind still can’t grasped this fact I need the next lesson: "Let me recognize my problem has been solved."
I just wrote the most incredible blog post and I hit save and the connection timed out so that the post was gone. It must have been too good. That is what happens to messages that are too good, they disappear, they go where they come from and take me with them. Those messages can’t stay in space and time, they can’t be held bondage on a web page. But if you let them they will take you to a different place in your mind, a place that was not accessible to you before. But now in this new continuum of time everything changed, and all your old thoughts don’t mean anything anymore. You are completely now and that all just because of a blog post that didn’t want to share and justify your story here. Isn’t that amazing. Just from that blog post that you never got to read you have an experience of your awakening.
