This is the Key, I think.
Lisa said,
I’m not making any plans. I’m not asked to do anything or not do anything. Just to be still, practice the lesson, trust and take a look at where I find myself. How simple.

No-body knows what is the “right” thing to do. We are under no laws but Gods. So in our TRUST We just throw our experience around , feel it, recognize it is only for the purpose of awakening and let it GO.
God always provides an answer. The healing, I think, comes in letting go of when or how it will be accomplished.
This is tough sometimes…… OMG.. You mean NO CONTROL..NO CONDITIONS.. YIKES
I may or may not be lead to the answer that I thought was “cool”!

But if I listen carefully I will hear! Mostly when I really listen…. what I SEE is what I am or not to do is totally irrelevant. The miracles is in recognizing that I am totally innocent always!

Love you all cats and ALL,

hi Lisa,
I love all the flurry around Enzo. I know you will do as you are directed by your Christ self. How do I know this… You demonstrate it everyday here on G4G. You demonstrate/live the freedom that brings, freedom from all outside or ‘other’ inside influences. In The Present Moment… there is the voice that is unerringly accurate and you are that here day in and day out. What a gift you are.

I love … “It is a spiritual axiom that every time we are disturbed no matter what the cause, there is something the matter with me (us).
If somebody hurts us and we are sore, we are int the wrong also.”
from the AA 12 x 12

I see you as standing in the judgment of others and how i want to be… THERE IS NOWHERE FOR THEM TO STICK, as a brother once told me.

You are as God created you.

I have not been allowed to go and see my grandson since the end of June of this year…
That decision has given me so much of an opportunity for practicing acim…
I could retaliate in anger…. i have always done that
I could manipulate … i have always done that
I could just tell them to _____ off … I have always done that
Or in this case I asked God to change me. God change MY MIND.
I have been able to see that so much of my identity and happiness came from this relationship.
And there is the lie.
I got to see how dependent I am on outside circumstances to make me FEEL happy.
there is the lie.
I got to see that while I am so busy concentrating on ‘them’ I wasn’t looking at me.
That is what I have always done.

And acceptance is the answer to ALL my problems today. When I am disturbed, it is because I find some person, place or thing, or situation- some fact of my life – unacceptabe to me, and I can find no serenity until I ACCEPT that person, place, thing, or situation as being exactly the way it is supposed to be at this moment. Nothing , absolutey nothing happens in God’s world by mistake. Until I could accept my alcoholism, I could not stay sober; unless I accept life completely on life’s terms, I cannot be happy. I need to concentrate not so much on what needs to be change in the world as on what needs to be changed in me and in my attitudes.

AA Big Book – 449.

I am tired of doing this … I just want this to be over. I am waiting for something and it is already here. The tediousness of doing one thing at a time is more than I can stand now… I am ready for it all to be made new… in one brilliant instant…

Hanging on to doing this one thing at a time is what time is… and I am in denial of wanting everything.

Love gem

Hello Again, I wanted to share ..I did something different today….I have done
this before, with other books or cards…asking a question, for guidance/message,
type thing, but not with my ACIM book….With today’s Lesson, and the discussion
we have had this week…I asked to be led to another lesson to shine more light on
me today…I went to # 133 page 245 ” I will not value what is valueless”..Its a
great one to reread and see with our new eyes…I love to look at the lessons I have
already done and get more from it than the first time! This pretty much sums it
all up! Yep, like science…Its ALL right here:-)

Thank You Lisa! Because you are sharing the “whole” experience of your being, it
allows us all, that choose to check in, and be committed to our Lessons each day,
(since the 1at of January) we all are learning through experiencing and being willing
to LOOK within…with you…and for the “whole” experience of each of us..we are
joined, since we all experience “daily stuff ” it will always be a Lesson each of us
can relate to, somehow…since it is all the same, just will keep arising until it is
completed! Just when I think I have my mind rightful, I can see another Lesson
come up, to embrace and learn from…And to keep with ACIM, at that moment, I
can CHOOSE again…and the reminder of the Truth, is always REAL…and that
is when I have peace…I can choose what I want in my experience as we all are
free to do…just being willing, to choose again…and not allow the “ego” to trick
us….Yes, I am laughing with you! Being Still and Doing Nothing, Allowing His
guidance with ALL things, thats what is Real!!! Thats why nothing else matters…
since we do not know why…we only need to know, HOW…Keep on Shining~
