The 40-day adventure to heal food addiction using A Course in Miracles begins on May 1st.

It’s not a diet. You can use it to heal any addiction. The program is designed to strengthen your core and make you aware of the power that is within you, given to you by God. The problem most people have is they try to change external situations (dieting, controlling, planning, organizing) and then wonder why they fail.

You fail because the only work that produces results is to strengthen your core and increase your personal power by getting rid of blocks and obstacles. Then miracles occur naturally.

PURIFICATION IS NECESSARY.

If you have tried to change yourself by changing your behavior, you already know that doesn’t work. The only way to change is through inner work and purification.

The only way to get rid of obstacles is to get above them, to rise up your thinking.

So we’re gonna start from the top - the finish line - and stay there for 40 days.

You will emerge healed, whole and perfect because that’s where we are going to start and that’s where we are going to stay.

For 40 days we will encourage and inspire you to stay in a space where miracles occur naturally as expressions of love.

Most people falsely believe you can change yourself slowly. CHANGE IS IMPOSSIBLE. There is no journey. There is no process. PROCESS IS THE PROBLEM. The solution is to allow yourself to be catapulted ON DAY ONE to the place where you are completely transformed … which is now.

You are already all that you wish to become … it’s just operating in a different frequency of light so you think it takes time. But what you want and need and desire is right here, right now … and you will see it when you have the willingness to see yourself differently.

The difficulty is most people cannot stay in a high frequency where love is all there is, where every sickness is healed, where addictions do not exist and where problems are non-existent. Most people slide back down to old habits and limited thinking.

The 40-day trip into the wilderness is designed to help you stay in the light.

Lesson 115 from A Course in Miracles:

Salvation is my only function here.

My function here is to forgive the world for all the errors I have made. For thus I am released from them with all the world.

My part is essential to God’s plan for salvation.

I am essential to the plan of God for the salvation of the world. For He gave me His plan that I might save the world.

If you are busy, stressed, overworked, tired, lonely, sad, depressed, angry or confused … you will notice that just by taking a moment to stop what you are doing and to open A Course in Miracles and read the daily lesson, it changes the quality of your day.

It stops the flow of thinking and puts you in a brand new place, instantly.

Extending light and love to yourself and others catapults you out of darkness. You’ll find yourself standing in tremendous peace and joy.

A lot of people nowadays are talking about manifestation, Law of Attraction and projection. Almost everyone now agrees that what you see out in the world is a mirror reflection of your inner thoughts.

Well, if you are with me, I’m telling you there is another step to take beyond that. Projection exists only in the illusion. Manifestation is child’s play. Attracting a house, a car or money is like playing with baby blocks. It’s nothing. Anyone can do it. It’s for those still sleeping and dreaming. You have been given all power. Extension of light is where you will begin to see miracles occur.

When you take your function in God’s Plan for salvation you’ll see much more than a house, a car, or money. You’ll slip right past this world and see your inheritance, and all your needs will be taken care of without you even asking or visualizing. The Holy Spirit knows your needs and it will give it to you, bigger and better than you could have imagined for yourself. You don’t have to tell Him. He knows what will make your heart sing. You need only take your place in God’s Plan for salvation and do the work that is given to you to do: hear the Word of God and to forgive the world all the errors I have made.

Projection is for those still sleeping.
Extension of light is for those who are awake.

Let the light of you flow into this world and be prepared for miracles!

I enjoyed this article about Indigos. I definitely can relate. It gave me a new perspective on some of the way I am sensitive to energy. It feels like I have less and less tolerance for certain energies. I have no patience any more for grievances or gossip. I have been developing resistance to certain food (processed food leaves me feeling like I’ve been drugged). How about you? What is your experience in the light? Do you feel as if things are getting intensified in the world and in your life? Do you feel like you are becoming more sensitive?

 A Message from Stefanie Miller

Indigo children are those who are believed to represent a higher state of human evolution. The term itself is a reference to the belief that such children have an indigo colored aura. The color indigo represents the chakra of the third eye, which is associated with intuition, and paranormal abilities such as seeing angels or deceased loved ones. They possess the ability to discern what others are thinking and feeling, and are highly empathic. Thus they have the ability to know when someone is being authentic, honest a truthful.

 Indigo children are highly sensitive with a clear sense of self-definition and a strong feeling that they need to make a significant difference in the world. They are strong-willed, independent thinkers who prefer to be self-guided rather than directed by others.

They are unique in the way they see things and will not conform in order to fit into society. Indigos possess wisdom and a level of awareness “beyond their years.” When you look into their eyes you can see that they are old souls, and wise ones. They can be very outspoken, speaking to an Indigo is like talking to a miniature adult of sorts!

 They are often diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD), Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Dyslexia, and also Autism, and that they become unsociable when not around other Indigo, Crystal or Rainbow Children.

 They are also prone to depression and sleep disorders such as insomnia and persistent nightmares Indigo children also possess defining characteristics in learning; indigos tend to be more visual, kinesthetic learners so remember best what they can picture in their brain and create with their hands. They are highly energetic people so movement is required to keep them better focused. They love to talk and explain things. They tend to be very animated and dramatic.

The Indigo’s life purpose is to bring awareness that the old systems no longer work and rally for change. They possess a low tolerance for people and systems that are not authentic and authority without a good cause or reason. They become very angry, frustrated and will act out if they feel injustice is going on.

 Because they are so highly sensitive they tend to a have lot of allergies to foods, and environmental toxins, and this can cause them to become off balanced easily. Indigo’s need to learn how to maintain balance in their lives.

 When surrounded by a lot of negativity, anger, loud, noisy places and things of this sort, they will become imbalanced and will absorb the negativity and begin to act out in an angry way or become very introverted and have difficulty coming out of their shell.

The characteristics and attributes of the Indigo and Crystal Child may apply to anyone, whether a child, adolescent, young adult or middle aged. There were souls that elected to come to the planet early on to feel things out. An example would be in the 60’s when the flower children and hippies were prevalent. To a large part many of these individuals eventually chose to conform to societies standards, however, the Indigo’s of this generation aren’t as willing to comply. The challenge today is for parents, teachers, and society to rethink how things are done.

If you, as an adult or parent resonate with this information, you very well may be a parent, adolescent, young adult or adult Indigo or Crystal being. Please know that you are not alone in experiencing feelings of isolation, anger and frustration that you can no longer keep contained, a nonconformist attitude, you may be highly intuitive and/or psychic, feeling like you don’t belong or fit in (on this planet, in society, in your family, community, work, etc.) There are many soul and family groups coming together at this time to band in unison to re-member. We are cultivating a New Earth.

Through love, dedication, honesty, clear communication and trust we can make our planet, our lives and our children’s lives a better, safer, more joyful place to be. The heart connection begins with you. I offer advice and solutions for parents, techniques for adults but the real effort begins in your life and how you approach it. Connect with your higher self, listen to your heart and make the necessary changes to make living and assimilating on planet Earth a more enjoyable experience.

There is a legion of angels, archangels, spiritual guides and ascended masters that are watching over you. All you need to do is call on them for a healing or knowledge and they will assist you in any area of your life. If you are ready to find a teacher, healer, book, soul family, school, or experience a healing, they are eager to help! Take the first step. Open your heart and experience the love and acceptance that is waiting for your taking.

I meet so many people that are astonished to find out they or their child are an Indigo/Crystal child. They never knew why they were different than others. Now is the time for the awakening and the changes to begin. Change doesn’t have to be difficult or negative. It is a necessary and unavoidable part of life. Allow yourself to accept your own or your child’s uniqueness and let it flourish. I know that there are often many obstacles on the journey to remembrance. Embrace them joyfully and know that you and/or your family are growing and flourishing as God’s children.

It’s important to keep in mind that the Indigo, Crystal and Blue rays are highly sensitive people. By identifying your attributes and characteristics isn’t meant to label anyone, single them out or make them more important or significant than anyone else on this planet, because in truth we are all equally important and valuable. The value in identifying your origin or the origin of your child is to come to a realizations and understanding so that you can take the proper and necessary steps in caring for yourself and your children to make life more at ease and joyful.

I hope the information I offer here is of value and service to you. Take the suggestions that resonate and consider what works for you and your family.

Knowledge, awareness and understanding are the first steps in growth and healing.

Many Blessings,

 By the fabulous gorgeous brilliant beautiful Christine Kane. I love this woman so much. She is an inspiration and muse to me:

 http://christinekane.com/blog/

By Christine Kane

My trainer pisses me off.

Her name is Kam.   She puts these heavy weights in my hands and makes me push them in various different ways to build various levels of strength in my body.

That doesn’t bother me so much.  I can play that game.

But just when I think I can’t push any more or lift another time, she says, “Okay, three more. You can do it!”

That’s when I decide to hate her.  Sometimes I even spew mean things to her in between breaths.  This only makes her laugh.

The truth is, I pay her to do this to me.  Because this is when I would typically stop.

This morning it dawned on me during my work out that this moment – when I want to toss a dumbbell at Kam but lift the weight anyway – is what success is all about.

It’s about the uneventful little choice we make in the moment. Every moment.

It’s so typical to make success about the “there” we arrive at.

“115 pounds!”

“Best-selling author!”

“Billboard Hit!”

“A million bucks!”

“NCAA Champions!”

But the truth about success is that it’s really kinda boring.  That’s because it’s not about the arrival.

Success is about the choices you make each and every moment.

Not each and every day.

Each and every moment.

•  Push the weights up three more times when you’d rather be in bed.

•  Write the next paragraph when the family is watching television.

•  Sit with your guitar and a lyric idea when you have no idea of the outcome.

•  Market yourself and your product consistently when you’d just as soon give up.

•  Practice shooting three-pointers a hundred times each afternoon for 4 years.

A few years ago, I mentored a woman who had big dreams and goals.  She’d mention a new idea on a call, and together we’d break it down into small chunks and do-able activities to help her create this new thing in her life.

But after a week, she’d get bored. Frustrated. She hated just sitting there writing.  And research wasn’t nearly as cool as her imagined fame and notoriety.

She wanted to be THERE.  To arrive in that glorious moment of success that is already guaranteed and sparkly.   So, she did what most people do when they’re faced with their own illusions of what success should feel like.

She gave up.  She went back to her self-created world view that none of “this stuff” works for her.

I was sad for her.

Not because I knew she could succeed if she put her mind to it.  Not because of some grandiose outcome she’d never have.

But because she would miss out on the splendid truth of success:  The miraculous boringness of it.

When I am succeeding, there are no cameras flashing.

When I am succeeding, there are no articles being written about me.

When I am succeeding, it is just me and my relationship to the moment.

This is not news-worthy. In fact, from the outside it looks downright boring. But on the inside, there’s an all-out ticker-tape parade in the streets of my head.

Because I am choosing to do what matters to me.

Because I am not listening to the gangs of critical voices that used to run my entire day.

Because I am willing to sit there in spite of not knowing the outcome.

This is the miracle of success. This seemingly boring choice in this seemingly boring moment.

What boring choices are you going to make today?

“It is now time to have acceptance of the new energies, of a new path, a new Earth. The old ways will no longer serve you. I tell you if you revert back to the old ways, you will begin to feel ill, physically and emotionally. Your levels of energy will be quickly depleted. Further, if you continue in the old ways of behavior, your energy field will be vastly weakened. You see the third dimensional energies cannot survive in the new fifth dimensional waves of energy engulfing Earth and all who live on it. And so I say to you accept.”

The miracle of your changed DNA within you, encouraging you to accept and move forward seeking only peace and love, opening your heart to others in support and assistance on many levels. This itself is a great miracle if you look back to your history. A history full of anger, control, greed and war. This is the old way of living. Over the previous nine years you have been prepared in your mind, as well as your heart. We have spoken of this – of the mergence of the left and right brain. This has also played it’s part in your evolutionary process. The need to live in the moment. To accept. To release control of your future time.” - Kuthumi

Love, lisa

God is my Source. I cannot see apart from Him.

“Perception is not an attribute of God.”

God does not say mean things about his brother. He does not say negative things about Himself. He doesn’t hold grievances and then sit around telling people about them. He doesn’t gossip.

YOUR MIND IS PART OF GOD’S MIND. YOU ARE VERY HOLY.

If you really want to see what your thoughts are (to see if they are aligned with the Thoughts of God): I suggest you start writing, keep a journal, start a blog. Writing is a good tool for transformation which shows you what you are thinking. It’s right there on paper. You can SEE it - your thoughts on paper.

I’ve been blogging since November 2004.

Before that I kept journals.

I’ve been writing since I was old enough to hold a pencil.

Most of my writing throughout my life was wishes, wants, hopes, desires, telling stories from the past, complaints and grievances. My writing reflected my thinking during those stages in my life: me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me …. ME!

And then one fine day, I realized that I could change my thinking … and lo and behold … my writing changed.

On that fine day, I destroyed 15 years of leather journals, spanning back from when I was 21. My dad nearly had a heart attack when he heard the news! I laughed like crazy. I was glad to get rid of the evidence of a girl that was no longer me.

I didn’t need to hold on to the past.

And right then and there: Gorgeous for God was born. That was November 2004.

Now all I want is to be in a state of grace, love, joy, helpfulness, and extension of light.

So writing is a great tool because it will show you IN BLACK AND WHITE what thoughts you hold in your mind. You were thinking the thoughts anyways, but when you put them down on paper, or in an email, or on facebook, you can actually see your thoughts and the way you think.

So it’s good practice to begin to ask yourself a few simple questions BEFORE you hit the Publish Button or the Send Button: Is this truth? Is this coming from a place of wholeness? Is it about gratitude? Or is what I’ve just written (which reflects my thinking) coming from the small limited self that is small, angry and fearful?

I cannot tell you how many times I’ve written something down, gone back to re-read it with these questions in mind, and been shocked by the crap contained in my mind. Pure utter nonsense, a whole lot of nothing.

Another good question to ask is: WHAT IS IT FOR?

I write to get clear, to see where I am in my own mind, and hopefully to be helpful to my brother.

Today’s lesson is a great reminder of this truth - God does not perceive. Perception has no function in God, and does not exist. Perception has no meaning. Yet does the Holy Spirit give it meaning very close to God’s. Healed perception becomes the means by which the Son of God forgives his brother, and thus forgives himself.

So all my writing and all my words and everything that comes out of my mouth when I speak reflects my thinking. No exceptions. What am I saying?? What am I writing??

Start catching yourself. I’ve said before it is good advice to pause before you speak.

A Course in Miracles says it in this way: “to step back and let Him lead the way.”

Writing is also a pause, a stepping back. Everything sentence is a decision. Every sentence and word reflects your thinking. Is it reflecting truth or falsity? Start becoming aware before you speak, look at what you are writing before you hit the Send Button, before you hit the Publish Button … and decide if this is something you want to send out into the world.

What you send out - through writing, thought and sound - is a vibration, and it bounces back to you so you might want to be more conscious of what you are sending out BEFORE you send it.

The Delete Button is a marvelous tool!!

This is the change of mind that is needed. This is systematically training your mind to think differently, to see things differently.

God is my Source. Does my thinking reflect that? Are my words (written and spoken) reflecting the Word of God?

God is my Source. I cannot see apart from Him.

I see through the eyes of forgiveness.
I see the world as blessed.
The world can show me myself.
I see my own thoughts, which are like God’s.

“No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thinking” ~Voltaire

Hi Lisa

A few days ago you asked to hear from members how A Course in Miracles is affecting our life.

I took a few days to really think about this, because my life has changed so dramatically, I did not know how to express it.

When i first started studying ACIM, which was Aug. 2008, I thought ACIM was impossible for me to understand, yet I was drawn to keep on studying. I began reading your blogs as well as other blogs and books about ACIM.

Although all the things I was reading was somewhat helpful, it was only head knowledge.

This year when you invited me to join your study group as a Gorgeous for God member, I made a commitment that I was going to practice the lessons as best as I can.

My life is now changed, totally for the better.

Three years ago my house flooded, I became seriously ill, my husband asked for a divorce, I sold our home, went through a terrible divorce, had to move in with my daughter and her family, and then last Nov. my former husband (who I love) passed away at 50 yrs. of age.

With all the stresses one after another, I ended up in therapy for two years. For over two years i did not even know what happiness or joy meant. I felt emotionally dead.

When I started to study ACIM, I had hope that I would get better, yet I struggled with depression and just wanting to live.

Since I made the commitment to really practice the lessons this year, I feel reborn! It was a slow process (I know you say it is not a process, but that is the only way I can describe it). I slowly began to feel brief moments of happiness. When my former husband passed in Nov., he generously left me as beneficiary on some accounts he had. There was enough money to buy a small house for me and my dogs. In the past I had a brand new home, beautifully decorated with a large yard. Now I was looking for a house on a very limited budget because I am on a fixed income (disability). I was a little depressed when I first started house hunting. I was used to so much more house. I started praying daily and often. I asked the Holy Spirit to help me find a house I could afford and be happy with it. I looked at least 100 houses! three houses I really liked sold before I could make an offer. I just knew the HS would help me with the right house. I did not worry or get upset. I kept praying. Last week I bought a house that was much smaller than I wanted, but I knew it was what I could afford. I believe the HS directed me to this house. I am content that some time next month, my dogs and I will have our own place.

I realize I am rambling, but a year ago if I was trying to buy a house on a small amount of money, I would have been so depressed and miserable!

Now I put my trust in God that he will take care of me.You asked if I wanted help. Yes, but I am getting help. I have Jesus holding my hand, the Holy Spirit filtering my thoughts with love, the trust of my loving Father, and of course you Lisa!

I am taking each moment as it comes, so I am not waiting for anything to happen. It’s all good-whatever it is.

I told you that I am going to be happy for one week: no fault finding, judging others, complaining, etc. Now if a thought of complaining pops into my head, I forgive it and delete it! I have no desire to cling to that which makes me believe I am separate. Yes, at times I get a brief moment of insanity-but I immediately ask the HS to help me choose correctly.

I didn’t have to pray for a miracle, they are happening every day. My thinking is now devoted to God. I certainly have a lot of learning and continued practicing of lessons to do. Many times I forget to do the lessons as often as required, but I forgive myself and continue on with A Course in Miracles.

I have had so much help and I am so grateful. I never acknowledged gratitude in the past. Now I try and remember to always show gratitude and that eliminates complaining!

I believe I was called by Jesus to ACIM. I never heard of it before. My sister-in-law said she read an interesting book called ACIM and I might want to read it. She did not tell me anything about it. I just bought it and i was hooked! I was lead to a number of blogs and books that help explain ACIM in a way I can more easily comprehend.

When I saw the picture of the wedding rings on your blog today, telling God I DO, I closed my eyes and could feel a ring being slipped on my finger as I prayed to God and said I want what you have made me. I ask constantly to remember that I am not a body but Spirit, and I feel that I am remembering more and more each Holy Instant.

So thank you Lisa. You are a wonderful minister of God. I am happy you decided to help brothers such as myself apply the course instead of just reading it! You are a miracle!

I am so very happy that you are my teacher, because I am happy for the first time in many years. And best of all, I have no problems! When you think you might have a problem, just remember your brother and how much you are helping us to be present and be the light of the world. Thank you again for your honesty and love.

God Bless,

Linda

Lesson 98: I will accept my part in God’s plan for salvation.

Today is a day of special dedication!!!!!

Party time.

Insert your name here:

Today is your commitment ceremony … to celebrate your union with God and realizing how much it offers you.

And then to accept your part in God’s plan for salvation.

Do you accept your part in salvation?

I do!

Do you promise to love, honor and cherish all of God’s creations?

I do!

“The guiltless have no fear, for they are safe and recognize their safety.

“They rest in quiet certainty that they will do what is given them to do. They do not doubt their own ability because they know their function will be filled completely in the perfect time and place. They take the stand which we will take today, that we may share their certainty and thus increase it by accepting it ourselves.”

I will accept my part in God’s plan for salvation.

Are you available tonight at 10pm EST?

Marlene Chapman and Hannah Shears are interviewing me on the radio.

Wooohooooooo!!!!!!!

Listen in live!

I am interested in hearing from you, to learn about your results with the workbook lessons.

Do you feel like A Course in Miracles is working? Are you witnessing miracles?
Or do you feel like it is not working?

Are you excited by it? Bored by it? Too busy? Not interested? Do you have no idea what it is saying?

You will begin witnessing miracles in your life as you practice the workbook lessons with sincerity.

I would like to hear from you.

Today’s lesson 95 (for those that started on January 1st) is a fantastic reminder of the necessity for constant reminders. It states that “it is difficult at this point not to allow your mind to wander, if it undertakes extended practice. Surely you have realized this by now.”

“YOU HAVE SEEN THE EXTENT OF YOUR LACK OF MENTAL DISCIPLINE, AND OF YOUR NEED FOR MIND TRAINING.”

“It is necessary that you be aware of this, for it is indeed a hindrance to your advance. ”

Of course, to witness miracles begins with a commitment that you would like to see consistent happiness and love in your life.

My experience is that everyone wants to experience miracles, but most lack the strength to do the work that is necessary to break through old limiting behaviors. It takes a tremendous force of power to get into high frequencies of energy, and stay there!

It takes action of mind.

Most people simply do not have the “muscles” to keep their chin above the bar in an experience of constant love and miracles. I can speak of this from my own personal experience. I was very very weak!!!! I could only stay “up” for about 5 minutes at most (more like 1 minute to be accurate) and then some circumstance (which literally felt like gravity) would pull me down into uncertainty and fear.

I was on a constant roller-coaster, alternating between love and fear.

But then I began to use those unused “mind muscles” from the Mind of God. I began practicing with diligence. I made a commitment to complete the workbook lessons, and to really do what it was asking of me. I began to have the discipline to stay in the light.

And the more you do it, the easier it becomes.

It was a challenge that I accepted for myself.

And where I began to see consistent results, was IN THE FOLLOW THROUGH.

So I would like to hear from you about your experience with A Course in Miracles.

Do you have A Course in Miracles?

Is your life all that you want it to be?

What changes would you like to see?

Do you need help?

Have you been waiting for something/someone to come along?

Have you been praying for a miracle?

Your life just turned a corner.

Please write to me at: lisa_natoli@yahoo.com

Lesson 84 from A Course in Miracles says:

Love created me like itself.
Love holds no grievances.

There is a powerful lesson I have learned over the years, and it will transform your life 100%.

Here it is:

If you want to activate the light in your brother (or in yourself) you must respond to the light in him (or yourself) in order to ignite it.

It’s the only way!!!

What this means is that if you are trying to get your brother to change, bring out the good in him. Search for the light in him and bring that light alive. Remind him of the truth of himself. Remember, you are all powerful! You have the power to ignite a flame in every single person you see and think of. Give him a compliment. Show him his strengths. Tell him what he is doing right.

And this goes for yourself.

I was reminded of this by my good friend Tanja Seely who has an ACIM website The Light Has Come. She is an extraordinary Teacher of God - clear, practical and beautiful. Always giving. She is on facebook and now that facebook has a new set-up, you can see everyone’s comments. It’s like an open book over there - you can what everyone is writing. I started to notice how active Tanja is with spreading joy everywhere. She is lighting magnificent fires everywhere! People get happy around her. She is lighting up the world with love!

A lot of people falsely believe that criticism or correction is the best way to bring about change. But let’s look at this logically.

First of all: think about how you react when someone criticizes you. Do you expand in joy or do you shut down thinking what a failure you are?

When you point out someone’s faults (or your own), you are speaking to the darkness in them (or yourself). And the darkness responds. Light does not respond while you are speaking to darkness. The darkness simply grows deeper and darker.

You must speak to the light (in yourself and in your brother) to get the light to respond.

If you want love, give love.
If you peace, give peace.
If you want appreciation, give appreciation.
If you want Heaven, give Heaven.

If your life is hell, then you must be giving hell.
If your life is dark, you must be giving darkness.

A Course in Miracles is a mathematical certainty. 2+2=4.

When you give love, you get love.
When you give criticism, you get criticism.
When you attack, you get attack.

Someone on facebook the other day wrote “Anger is like a boomer-rang. So much so that it should be called BOOMER-ANGER.”

Knowing this, I don’t send anger out. It’s just gonna fly straight back at me and hit me square between the eyes.

Love is also a boomer-rang. You send it out and it comes right back atcha ya! And it doubles and picks up energy as it’s flying out there so that by the time it comes back to you, it’s double!! it’s triple! You send out a drop of love to your brother, and you get an ocean back.

Try this like a Science Experiment. Test it out in your life.

Love created me like itself. I cannot suffer, I cannot experience loss and I cannot die. I am not a body. I would recognize my reality.

You’re all light. You are love.

I am determined not to attack my Self today, so that I can remember Who I am.

Two review lessons:

The light of the world brings peace to every mind through my forgiveness

Let me not forget my function.

Here’s the thing: you are awake.

Let me repeat that. You are awake. So why do you keep falling back asleep in fear? That’s the big question. The practice is NOT “how to wake up” (because you are already awake) but how to “consistently remember” that you are awake, to remember your Identity in God.

Consistency. Constancy.

Which is today’s lesson: Let me not forget my function.

It takes practice to stay in the high frequencies where there is only love. It takes determination and dedication to stay in Heaven without slipping back into hell. You will keep sliding back down into problems and doubt … until there comes a moment when you realize THAT’S WHAT YOU’RE DOING and then you’ll stop it.

Anger = sleeping
Doubt = sleeping
Fear = sleeping
Problems = sleeping

As soon as you see that you have a choice (between Heaven and hell, love and fear) you will automatically remember that there is ALWAYS another way of looking at things. You will choose for the light. You will snap out of it. It literally is like being jolted awake. You come to your senses.

Have you ever had an experience where you keep dozing off in the middle of the day? You try to stay awake, you’re sitting at your desk at the office or at the dinner table with your family, and you keep falling asleep, your eyes shut, your head falls down, and then you snap awake realizing you shouldn’t be dozing at your desk or at the dinner table with mashed potatoes in your mouth. Have you ever had this happen? And everyone is looking at you kinda funny, with compassion that you can’t stay awake.

Mostly they are laughing at you. Have you ever had this happen?

Well, this is exactly what it is like when you are in anger, depression, loneliness, sadness and beset with problems. You dozed off. You fell asleep at the dinner table. You were awake and then your eyes shut, your head fell down, and you start snoring. Except this is just an analogy. What sleeping looks like is uncertainty, fear, jealousy, and grievances.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Sound asleep.

And everyone who’s awake is laughing at you. They don’t take your problems seriously, because to them it simply looks like you fell asleep at the dinner table with mashed potatoes in your mouth. It’s funny! It’s not serious, it’s hilarious.

If you keep dozing off, it would be a good time to ask yourself WHY.

You might want to take an honest look at that. Why do you keep slipping back down into routines and habits and problems? Why can’t you stay awake?

It’s good to ask yourself these questions if you find yourself flip-flopping back and forth between joy and depression, certainty and uncertainty, strength and weakness.

You are all light. You are the light of the world. Forgiveness is your function as the light of the world.

Let me not forget my function.

The light of the world brings peace to every mind through my forgiveness.

My forgiveness is the means by which the light of the world finds expression through me.

!!!

That’s amazing. If you can remember that enough to do it, you’ll stay awake.

THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD FINDS EXPRESSION THROUGH ME.

My forgiveness is the means by which I become aware of the light of the world in me.

Let peace extend from my mind to yours.
I share the light of the world with you.
Through my forgiveness I can see this as it is.

Love, lisa

Lesson 66

My happiness and my function are one.

I remember when I first started reading A Course in Miracles back in 1992, I was filled with HOPE. I was hopeful that transformation was possible for me. Back then my life was anything but happy. Back then life was all about keeping up appearances and rushing from one event to the next event. Back then I was filled with fear. I was fearful that my boyfriend would get bored with me and leave me (which he did eventually 4 years later), that I would lose my job (which I did eventually 8 years later), that I would lose my apartment (which I did eventually, with the breakup of my boyfriend). Etc.

But here is what I noticed later: I LIVED IN FEAR OF ALL THOSE THINGS COMING TO PASS EVERY SINGLE DAY OF MY LIFE.

I lived in fear for 8 years that I would lose my job. Losing my job was one event in time that, interestingly enough, when it finally came to pass WASN’T SCARY AT ALL! LOL. But I lived in fear for 8 years in anticipation of that moment arriving.

So, today’s most important lesson, in my opinion, is contained in the first sentence: “Surely you have noticed…”

That to me is the most important part of this lesson.

SURELY YOU HAVE NOTICED.

Most people’s problems is the fact THAT THEY HAVEN’T NOTICED. I didn’t notice that I lived in fear for 8 years of future events. I didn’t notice. It was just my “normal” state of being. I thought everyone lived in fear. I thought you were supposed to plan just in case something bad happened. I thought you were supposed to have insurance and a back-up plan just in case the current plan failed.

Today’s lesson is telling you - in black and white again - that your function is happiness.

God gives you only happiness.
He has given your function to you.
Therefore your function must be happiness.

So the question is: ARE YOU HAPPY?

ARE YOU CONSISTENTLY HAPPY?

By now, on the 66th day, these lessons should be showing you results of joy and peace. If you are still waiting for the miracle to arrive, something has gone wrong, and I want you to write to me:

lisa_natoli@yahoo.com

If you are not supremely happy, something has gone wrong. I mean it, I want you to write to me if you are still filled with grievances and depression: lisa_natoli@yahoo.com

You should be experiencing the result of consistent happiness by now, on the 66th day.

Please, I don’t want you to get lazy with these lessons. One huge tendency for people is to constantly think that the “miracle is coming. It’s on it’s way.”

NO, NO, NO. The miracle is NOT coming. It is here now. It’s all around you … Do you see it?

If you are waiting for something to happen or waiting for your life to begin, you are way out in left field while the rest of the team has already gone to go get pizza and celebrate their win. If you are still waiting for a miracle or waiting for something exciting to happen, then you missed the bus

.

It passed you by. Thankfully, there is another bus on the way, but please …. stay alert so that the next bus doesn’t drive right by you also. Don’t wander off.

There are a thousand miracles in this very moment just waiting for your recognition. You might not realize it - but you have everything now.

Today, I want you to be honest with yourself: IS A COURSE IN MIRACLES WORKING FOR YOU?

Are you seeing a change in your life?
Have you relationships become more harmonious?
Are you experiencing things flowing more easily?
Do you wake up happy and excited to have a function given to you by God?
Is every day a joyous adventure?
Do you have the ability to see things differently as they occur?

A lot of times what happens is that miracles are coming at you from all directions - people inviting you to visit, an email that a friend sends, a phone call, a small child smiling at you, a dog waiting to be pet, someone asking for your help - but because you are so preoccupied waiting for “the miracle” to arrive that you miss the fact it did arrive!

A thousand miracles will come to you today, are you noticing them? A thousand miracles come to you every day, do you notice them? Or are you waiting for the sky to open, for the grand miracle to arrive? If so, you’re wasting your time and you’ll be waiting forever.

This moment, right now, right here, is what everything is. This moment contains every gift. At some point, you really must ask yourself these questions. At some point “YOU WILL HAVE SURELY NOTICED” that you spend almost all your days and hours WAITING. I want you to see this. I want you to be honest. I want you to start looking at where you are holding back.

And the next question is: Are you practicing these workbook lessons? Are you just skimming through them? Or are you setting aside time each day to really sit down with A Course in Miracles and read the lesson from start to finish, sentence by sentence, and practicing the 10-15 minute practice periods. Practicing makes a HUGE, HUGE, HUGE difference.

Your function is established by God.

Your happiness and function are one.
