Okay. This is amazing. Two incredible things this morning.I decided to “wipe the slate clean” and “push the delete button” on my past (read post below) and start a new blog today, and just now I go and read two amazing things that are truly delighting me.
First: today’s lesson from A Course in Miracles is exactly how I am feeling today:
THE HOLY CHRIST IS BORN IN ME TODAY.
It’s just like I said: today is the new beginning when I let everything be brand new. Today angels surround me. Watching with me. Amazing. That’s why I wanted to start something new: THE HOLY CHRIST IS BORN IN ME TODAY.
So that’s the first thing.
The second thing is Emmet Fox and I keep kissing this book – that’s how much I love this article. He is so great.
He wrote an essay/sermon called “Your Heart’s Desire” and I wish I could type the whole thing in here, because it is unbelievable. Let me do a Google search and see if I can find it.
I did not find it the article for free, but you can buy it for $4.95

I will type in a little of what Emmet Fox says, because it is a great question to ask yourself: WHAT IS YOUR HEART’S DESIRE?
Your Heart’s Desire
by Emmet Fox
“But how is one to find his true place in life? Is there really any means whereby you may discover what it really is that God wishes you to do? You may feel inclined to say: “Even if it be true that God has some splendid thing He wishes me to do, and to be, how can I possibly find out what it is?” Perhaps you may even be tempted to add: “I am a very plain, everyday sort of person; my circumstances are extremely restricted; the conditions of my life are just drab commonplace. How then can there be something wonderful, beautiful, splendid awaiting me? Or, even if there were, how could I possibly get to know about it?”
“And the answer is Divinely simple – Already in your past life from time to time, God Himself has whispered into your heart just that very wonderful thing, whatever it is, that He is wishing you to be, and to do, and to have. And that wonderful thing is nothing less than what is called YOUR HEART’S DESIRE. Nothing less than that.
“The most secret, sacred wish that lies deep down at the bottom of your heart, the wonderful thing that you hardly dare to look at, or to think about – the thing that you would rather die than have anyone else know of, because it seems to be so far beyond anything that you are, or have at the present time, that you fear you would be cruelly ridiculed if the mere thought of it were known – that is the very thing that God is wishing you to do or to be for him.
“And the birth of that marvelous wish in your soul – the dawning of that secret dream – was the Voice of God Himself telling you to arise and come up higher because He has need of you.”
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s Emmet Fox.
One more sentence from him: “God is Infinite Mind and that Mind is ever seeking for more and new expression.”
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my God. I am soooooooo in love with him.
I know what my Heart’s Desire is, and what is interesting to me, is that I don’t dare mention it to anyone because I “fear that i would be cruelly ridiculed if the mere thought of it were known.”
how amazing.
I want you to think about this question today: What is your Heart’s Desire?
This is God’s Will for you.
The very thing you desire is exactly the thing you are meant to be doing.
I was reading something online the other day that caught my attention. It was talking about 3rd, 4th and 5th dimensions. So I did a little homework to find out more.
2 dimensions are width and length (like a flat sheet of paper)
The 3rd dimension adds depth
The 4th dimension is time
The 5th dimension is a hypothetical extra dimension beyond the usual 3 spatial and 1 time dimension.
We all know this, right? But do you realize how extraordinary it is? That there is depth, width, height, time, space, and thought? It boggles the mind. Most people take it for granted. Like, oh yes. Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. Up and Down. I’m a body. 3 dimensions. Moving objects. Yea, big deal.
At the very basic level, it should ASTOUND AND AMAZE YOU if you stop being sedated by taking these things for granted.
Truly. Look at it.
You are a 3 dimensional object in time and space. It’s crazy.
Now, we add the thought element, and it’s completely whack.
But most people just take it for granted. It doesn’t even occur to them that they can sequence thought, and move through time and space. Instead they are on automatic pilot … thinking they are being affected by things/events/people outside of them.
But the universe is thought.
So, in this article it said that the 3rd dimension is the realm where suffering is a tragedy that can be prevented by taking 3D action – feeding the hungry, raising money, voting for peace instead of war, getting rid of the dictators, finding a cure through science and medicine.
(after this, the article veered off and I lost interest – it started talking about archangels and transmissions, but the general idea sparked a bonfire in my mind, and it got me thinking about the 4th and the 5th dimension, so here’s my own speculation)
The 4th dimension moves you into the thought realm of cause and effect, where you begin to take responsibility for your actions, where forgiveness becomes your normal first reaction to every situation. You are still a human being, but at this level you have begun to take responsibility for your actions.
**In the 4th dimension, you have the power and ability to collapse the time element. So a situation that might have caused a grievance for one year, can now be resolved in one day because you decide to take responsibility by implementing forgiveness. Does this make sense? Time is now entirely in your hands. You have the power to change any situation by your own decision.
The 5th dimension is where time and space cease to exist. There is only thought. There is only love. There is no need for forgiveness here. No need for responsibility. In a world of thought, there is only love. There is only Spirit. There are no bodies. Think about it. What if you were just pure Mind? With no time and space.
WITH NO TIME AND SPACE.
Think about it. All of your problems are based on time and space. Just think about it logically. Without time or space, where would your problems be? Who would you attack? What would you be upset over?
What needs would you have, without time and space?
It baffles the mind to even begin to think in this way, but you would lose all reference to everything you think you know about anything. Just try to imagine it for a second.
What if you were pure thought in the Mind of God?
What if this became your way of operating in the world?
What if you realized that your body was only a means of communication for this Mind to extend itself?
I know everyone who is reading this has had this experience. You have moments of joy. Moments of freedom. Moments where you feel truly safe. You find yourself in the present moment totally occupied by some creative act. In this moment, time ceases to exist.
Space still exists, but not time.
Isn’t that cool. Think about it. When I am typing on this computer, I am only aware of THOUGHT and SPACE. Time disappears.
Now … what if you could extend that feeling into every moment?? What if you could be totally present in every situation, and be the Mind of God?
Can you even begin to imagine it?
So, look at it. You are constantly swinging between dimensions. This is not some New-Age talk. Be reasonable, and look at it logically. You swing between 3rd dimension, 4th dimension and 5th dimension. CONSTANTLY. Sometimes you are in Space. Sometimes you are in Time. Sometimes you are in Thought. Sometimes you aware of all dimensions, going on all the time. Sometimes you lose a dimension.
I know you know what I am talking about. Everyone, at some time or another, has lost their spatial reference. Or they have lost the time reference.
You can train your mind to do this consistently. You catapult yourself into the 5th dimension by being in the Eternal Now. You keep pulling yourself back into the Present.
You keep reminding yourself you are Mind.
So here we go. Are you ready? All your difficulties arise because you swing between the dimensions. You find yourself in a new reality and then you are pulled back into the old frame.
AND IT’S UNCOMFORTABLE. It’s sucks. It hurts.
Think about being on a vacation where time doesn’t matter. Where you have total freedom. Where you have the whole day to lounge around and no cares in the world. Okay. You have taken out the time element. Now think about when you have to go back to work and be on time, and be on a schedule, and suddenly you are aware of Monday-Friday, and your entire day being broken up because you have to be somewhere (space) at a certain time. It kind of sucks, doesn’t it??
Sure, you adapt, and you get used to. The mind is very flexible and it always adapts, but be honest, which is better: Vacation where time and space don’t matter OR working on a schedule where you are constantly reminded of time and space.
That simplifies it, huh?
But what is the solution here. Begin to be in the 5th dimension and be a Mind. Be only Love. Be God. Be Light.
In my experience, it is absolutely possible to be 5th dimension in a 4th dimension world.
Don’t shift between worlds. Keep reminding yourself you are Mind. And the miracle is that time and space actually do disappear.
And of course, this is an experience that you must have for yourself to know what the heck I am talking about.
I love you.
And don’t forget to buy my book. One click and you’ll be catapulted over to Amazon.
It’s a brand new blog!Okay … this blog probably looks exactly identical to you, but in fact, this is the first blog post of a brand new day. I have decided to start a brand new blog since the other blog had over 1000 blog posts and went all the way back to November 2004.
The real reason I’m starting brand new?
Because there have been a tremendous amount of changes lately, and I’ve been trying to “pour new wine in old bottles.” It just doesn’t work that way. The reason I have been stalled lately in writing (in case you haven’t noticed) is because I’m totally different and yet I’m still trying to fit into the old place. It just wasn’t working.
I need to be totally brand new, because *I AM* totally brand new.
I’m constantly saying “push the delete button” and “wipe the slate clean” … yet … do I actually do it?
Am I in the practice of letting old my past ideas go?
I mean, let’s be honest, I reference everything. I know exactly who my friends are, and what my standing in life is. And how is the only way this would be possible????? To bring in a past reference.
Yet everything is changing so fast.
I am going to let it change.
YOU KNOW WHEN YOU ARE STUCK.
I was stuck. It was like I got picked up by a fast moving current, or catapulted into a different place & time, and I kept trying to be the way I’ve always been. And it’s impossible to be the way you used to be when suddenly everything is brand new.
I’m going to let today be a NEW BEGINNING for me. I don’t know who my friends are. I will let it be shown to me today, who calls and who writes. I don’t know what my favorite websites are. I don’t know what my schedule looks like. I don’t know what I like to eat. I don’t know what I need to do today. I don’t know anything, except that I have a great willingness to do God’s Will.
