Hi Lisa, what appears tonight as having nothing to say… might be a good thing. More of the truth that I don’t know any thing. I literally experienced the ‘text classes’ today. What a gift. Thankyou.

Love jayme

In sports during my life I have had moments of wonder. I’ve always called it “being in the zone.” When, devoid of thought, propelled by a fluidity that I attributed to being out of this world. I would achieve unimaginable results. Of course there were moments when I felt like a complete klutz, also. Those special moments propelled me on day to day. I couldn’t create them at will but I understand now that those moments were preparation for, a taste, of what I am experiencing today. I didn’t just read your blog, I felt it, deeply. Thank you for providing this experience. Be careful with your use of playground because it brings to mind periods in my life when, guided by another teacher, I actually thanked God for providing me with such a wonderful playground filled with many toys. By the grace of God those days are passed. Your rut becomes my rush and right back at Ya!
With love, (It’s becoming easier!)

“All choices in the world depend on this; you choose between your brother and yourself, and you will gain as much as he will lose, and what you lose is what is given him. How utterly opposed to truth is this, when all the lesson’s purpose is to teach that what your brother loses you have lost, and what he gains is what is given you.”

this is great, it is a summation of the whole Course. If this lesson can be learned and held onto it doesn’t matter what we do in the world. if we choose to accomplish great things in the world, but reach down and lift our Brother up along the path, we have learned the lesson well. we don’t have to give up our “goals” in the world we just need to constantly question “what is it for?” to give glory to the entire Son of God or to make me experience the separation even more intensely by having it for myself?

the world can become a joyful playground. all glory goes to God. to accomplish something and forget that the accomplishment was powered by God leaves us feeling empty. when we remember that we are powered by God, we become joyful and recognize that power is here for everyone equally.

oprah winfrey is becoming a great example of this thought system. a wonderful symbol of empowering and encouraging ones Brother. she has pile of money and has vast influence. she is using is to empower her Brother.

Lisa -you are THE great cheerleader. thank you. you once referred to yourself in this way and i absolute agree. cheerleader for God empowering your Brother to see his worthiness and unleash his creativity. thank you very much!
