God’s peace and joy are mine.
Let me be still and listen to the truth.
More and more as you advance in truth, you come to realize that you are a whole range of emotions, none of which are good or bad. It’s all just energy. There is a season for everything. Beginnings. Endings. To start a new project. To end a job. To keep something. To give it away. To rush towards. To walk away.
What worked for you yesterday, no longer works for you today.
That’s why it’s important to get into the habit of talking with God – consistently & daily – because every day is brand new and you have to keep asking:
What do you need me to do now?
What now?
What now?
Okay, what next?
What should I say?
Where should I go?
Other people will attempt to keep you in box. People get frightened when things begin to change, when YOU begin to change. They try to hold it together so things stay the same. They will attempt to make you feel guilty … because when you change, everything changes (and people realize your changes affect them) and that can be scary for them.
Keep remembering there is nothing outside of you.
Those “people” are your own ideas, reflected back to you – like looking in a mirror – remnants of guilt rising to the surface. Just listen and don’t defend yourself – stay in a state of gratitude – and keep rushing towards Jesus.
Remember that as you change your mind, the world changes. Don’t try to hold it together. Keep striving for new experiences. Keep heading to the light: eyes toward Heaven. You asked for awakening. You asked for transformation. Don’t let anyone keep you in limitation – which are only your own past ideas of limitation.
Don’t be a slave to old ideas.
Let your mind expand.
There are no other people doing things to you, or saying things to you.
You are free.
You start depending on God. Trusting in His Word. Listening. Staying in communion. Going where God would have you go. Saying what He would have you say.
Loving like God loves.
Giving like God gives.
On earth as it is in Heaven.
Today’s lesson says: “Let my own feeble voice be still, and let me hear the mighty Voice for Truth Itself assure me that I am God’s perfect Son.”
I see it clearly when I blog. Sometimes I write a sentence or paragraph that 30 seconds (or 3 hours) later, I’m told to delete.
The way I write is I LISTEN as I go along. Sentence by sentence. Kind of like transcribing. But it’s not channeling. It’s listening and writing – and it appears simultaneous. A better word is AWARENESS. It’s not anything special. I watch my thoughts and my fingers type. You should try it.
There is a stillness, even though it is very active.
ACTIVE STILLNESS.
I’ve gotten a few of my readers to start blogs, and they all say the same thing: how amazing the process is to begin watching your thoughts.
Very quickly you realize: YOU WRITE SO YOU CAN HEAR WHAT THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS TO SAY TO YOU.
I love it.
Everything you do is for you.
I find that learning becomes easier – there is a quickening – when you put thoughts of truth on paper or when you say it out loud.
God’s peace and joy are mine.
Do you have a goal? What is your mission? Have you written it down?
God’s peace and joy are for you.
As you listen in stillness, God speaks to you.
He wants you to be happy. He wants you to do what you love. He longs to give you everything.
God’s peace and joy are yours.
Often times I meet people whose energy and focus is scattered all over the place. They don’t know what they want. They want a relationship, but they want to be alone. They want to be happy, but then they defend and attack themselves whenever an upsetting situation arises. They don’t have a direction. They are affected by external events and circumstances. They flow along from day to day, struggling, going nowhere.
The act of BEING STILL and LISTENING will give you a new direction.
It will give you a blueprint, a map, with instructions on it. It will show you where you are.
It’s a great experiment.
From HERE, you can get THERE. All you need is a map.
And the way the map appears in your life is for you to be still and to listen.
That’s all!
It’s so simple. This experiment will amaze you.
When you finish this exercise, you will have a map with a set of instructions that were specifically MADE WITH LOVE, hand-tailored for you.
Take out a piece of paper and write down your ideal life. Not someone else’s idea of your ideal life, but your idea about it. Forget about what other people think you should be doing. Forget about what you think is spiritual. What is your goal? What is your mission? What makes you happy?
Be free today.
The other day someone said to me: “Whatever you do, do it for the love of it.”
“Don’t do it because you think it will help the Academy. And don’t do it because you think it will help other people. Do it because it makes you happy. Do it for the LOVE of it.”
Great advice.
What I love to do is inspire people and make them happy. I love writing. I love teaching. I love talking about God and A Course in Miracles. I love extending light into darkness, and watching how easily darkness disappears.
Poof.
And watching everything transform into a radiant garden.
