Coming to terms with your own mind

There is only you. You in your own mind that is what it comes down to. There are too many tricks the mind plays with us day in and day out. It creates the perfect ilussion that I am the victim and that I have to justify the things that I do or don’t do. In all of the struggle of the mind to just be at the peace there is a moment where you you can’t stand it any more and just stop it. It always comes from my own mind not wanting the struggle anymore. Happiness is a decicion I must make. The same as heaven and any other thing.

Jesus told me through a course in miracles that he can’t take away fear from me, otherwise I would not recognise that power of my mind anymore. That is really amazing to me. It is my decision not to be in fear anymore and noone can help me with this. It’s like all of Jesus’s instruction the clearest of all. Just don’t do it anymore. The whole power of the universe is given me. What do I use it for? For my little live? To transform it and feel a little happier? Or do I realize the function that I have been given to be the light of the world in every instant. And make everyone around me happy no matter what senario. Don’t get fooled with everything that the illusion bring. There is only one anwer to everything and that is love. Pure love. Because that is what you are. That is the challenge to not except anything else from yourself and anyone else. You are not the victim of you mind. You are everything there is and so all powerful. There is nothing to be afraid of and nothing to blame for your missery. It’s an invitation to live and rejoice in the love that you are!

Let me recognize the problem, so it can be solved!

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."

There is nothing to fear

The lesson for today from A Course In Miracles , "There is nothing to fear", just puts it so clear, I have no choice. I can just kick my own behind and let go all of my thoughts of fear that where lingering in my mind. Why would I wait for the fear to be converted and overcome, when Jesus is right here with me, telling me that I have no need for fear anymore. That literally now I can be free and go on with what my father wills for me.

Let every voice but God’s be still in me.

I love how in this lesson Jesus tells me very specifically don’t listen to your thoughts. Quietly step back and choose again. This gives me the immediate experience of of something completely different. It transports me to a different place in my mind, a place where I am happy. It is really that simple. I decide where I hang out in my mind. I love that idea, it makes all that spiritual seeking and stuff so easy and practical. It is easy but I still gotta do it. It requires everything of me. Think about it, I am wrong in every moment. It takes the action of my mind to let go of this whole world entirely in every instant. But it is just like everything else, it’s hard at the beginning and then it becomes a habit. But I tell you what it just feels soooo good. Just to be free and be with God.
