Acceptance is an action

Atonement is restoration, it is the return of awareness as all that I Am.

A Course in Miracles guides us in the symbolism of the Holy Spirit as individuals in each and every day, to only that action of inclusion which is total in the circle with everyone you bring within its safety and its perfect peace.

An inclusion is a prayer of gratitude for self-recognition, a coming home.

Acceptance is an action of Love and peace follows as that circle of Light in which I find Myself.

It has no end not beginning, it is ever present as a timeless presence waiting for all those that ask for help to be its home

To be in the Kingdom is merely to focus your full attention on it.

As long as you believe you can attend to what is not true, you are accepting conflict as your choice. Is it really a choice? It seems to be, but seeming and reality are hardly the same.

You who are the Kingdom are not concerned with seeming. Reality is yours because you are reality. This is how having and being are ultimately reconciled, not in the Kingdom, but in your mind.

The altar there is the only reality.

The altar is perfectly clear in thought, because it is a reflection of perfect Thought.

Your right mind sees only brothers, because it sees only in its own light.

The motivating factor is prayer

To ask is to receive. Such a simple formula. and in fact expressed in so many ways: Teilhard de Chardin" Ask in the certainty you have received."

A responsibility no-one can take away from me, I am forever an effect of God.
And He is my Cause. Not apart from me, but as Myself.

The Love of God recognizes the prayer that comes from the heart, that instant ignition that communicates, a signal, a power of decision that receives a response always in the form that I will recognize as my cause.

I all forms of the fabric of space/time in which I only recognize my cause and effect relationship as myself a single universe, I am the joy in the Love of God aware and awake.

All form comes to you as the result of the activity of your own consciousness.

God is the substance of all form.
This concept is referred to as the Adam-dream, the illusion, the mesmeric picture that which Jesus referred to when he said,

“My kingdom is not of this world.”



This does not mean that there are two universes, the real and the unreal or that there is a real body and an unreal one.

It means that the only universe there is, is the real universe, and the only body there is, is the real body, but what I am seeing is my concept of them.

Therefore, the only unreality about them is in my misperception of them, in my false concept of them. When you look at any person, you are not seeing what God created:

You cannot see that with your eyes; you are seeing only your concept or the world’s concept of God’s creation.

The past is gone..

The past is over and left me exactly as I Am. I could not be who I Am unless each instant of the past brought me to this instant of acceptance of who I Am.

It is an amusing and amazing discovery that all the moments as the past where a composition to bring me again and again in the NOW.

Like an endless fine-tuning by the Universe of all relationships, each instant perfectly designed

This course is not beyond immediate learning, unless you believe that what God wills takes time.

And this means only that you would rather delay the recognition that His Will is so. The holy instant is this instant and every instant.

The one you want it to be it is. The one you would not have it be is lost to you.

You must decide when it is. Delay it not. For beyond the past and future, where you will not find it, it stands in shimmering readiness for your acceptance.

Yet you cannot bring it into glad awareness while you do not want it, for it holds the whole release from littleness.

( chapter 15)

Truth is the source of Harmony in your journey

Truth is an endless joyful self-recognition that bears no questions only answers that harmonize and resonate inclusive in all aspects of space and time.

A fabric of my free will that I experience as each encounter is a beginning and end in Oneness,

An amazing journey, not a path but each instant a timeless remembering as source itself.

Seek not within the world to find your Self. Love is not found in darkness and in death.

Yet it is perfectly apparent to the eyes that see and ears that hear love's Voice.

Today we practice making free your mind of all the laws you think you must obey; of all the limits under which you live, and all the changes that you think are part of human destiny.

Today we take the largest single step this course requests in your advance towards its established goal.

If you achieve the faintest glimmering of what love means today, you have advanced in distance without measure and in time beyond the count of years to your release.
 
Let us together, then, be glad to give some time to God today, and understand there is no better use for time than this.
(lesson127)

The Twelve Apostles

Here in Cape Town the mountain range is called the Twelve  Apostles, dramatically rising around the Cape the Atlantic side, they are an ever changing vision of color and shapes.

The light and clouds that contantly move over it make this range a divine experience of majesty, the faces of the apostles very distinct at times at others hiding in swirling clouds.

The wind that descends from there is a wild and tugging experience that simply takes over everything that moves, people, waves, sand, rubbish ...the wind is called The Cape Doctor it blows everything away.

 When the sun sets on  the range in the reddish colors of departing for the day the Twelve Apostles look wild and fierce their faces glow and looking down on the masses that hurry past on the road below, its faces giving this timeless idea ..remember the message of Jesus.

The miracle acknowledges everyone as your brother..

That flow of self-recognition, that joy of being with others like yourself is knowing the Father as the creative power of the Universe.

In cartoons we find that harmony and smile in deep acknowledgement that it is true.

Our lives in fact are a constant reminder of returning to an alignment with source, our true vibration that can only ever be a true revealing in the action of the Atonement principle.

An act of love in the idea as a one edged sword that can only include not seperate

The Atonement thus becomes the only defense that is not a two-edged sword. It can only heal.


The Atonement was built into the space-time belief to set a limit on the need for the belief itself, and ultimately to make learning complete.
 
The Atonement is the final lesson. Learning itself, like the classrooms in which it occurs, is temporary. The ability to learn has no value when change is no longer necessary.
 
The eternally creative have nothing to learn. You can learn to improve your perceptions, and can become a better and better learner.
 
This will bring you into closer and closer accord with the Sonship; but the Sonship itself is a perfect Creation and perfection is not a matter of degree.
 
Only while there is a belief in differences is learning meaningful. (acim)

Each instant is a surprise

Each day is unique! There it is all new and fresh born again out of the endless eternal love of our Father who watches us how we become all the reflections to play a happy dream and relinquish our memories of the past

We are free to choose and decide. To be the Wittness, the Light that is the play of our identity in a ever extending self-discovery.

Joy is the fabric of surprise that gives all reflections no matter its form its sublime prism.

(Manual for Teachers) As his awareness increases, he may well develop abilities that seem quite startling to him.

Yet nothing he can do can compare even in the slightest with the glorious surprise of remembering Who he is.

Let all his learning and all his efforts be directed toward this one great final surprise, and he will not be content to be delayed by the little ones that may come to him on the way.

The Light that reveals

How simply and how easily does time slip by for the teacher of God who has accepted His protection!
 
All that he did before in the name of safety no longer interests him. For he is safe, and knows it to be so.
 
He has a Guide Who will not fail. He need make no distinctions among the problems he perceives, for He to Whom he turns with all of them recognizes no order of difficulty in resolving them.
 
He is as safe in the present as he was before illusions were accepted into his mind, and as he will be when he has let them go.
 
There is no difference in his state at different times and different places, because they are all one to God.
This is his safety. And he has no need for more than this. (manual for Teachers)

Joy Is Eternal

How else can you find joy in a joyless place except by realizing that you are not there?
Joy is ever present in self-recognition, in all formulations of time and space.

That pure clear instant of simple acceptance that-God  IS and I Am His Son-

It can be as easely discovered in buying an ice cream, watching the waves or the clouds, see the birds suddenly depart or children playing in the sand.

It is to be in communication ...it does not cost money or it does, it is connected with freedom to spend a thousand dollars or one single one.

Joy is catching, it is sharing, it is unifying all that you are. Joy is a call a remembering the abundance as the Universe of giving, ever ready to extend from formlesness a form that will add joy never taking joy away.

The Universe and I

The Universe is a Hologram
A shift is at hand and it invariable takes a fearless mind to accept changes of such magnitude.

The holographic universe is a process in closing a gap that seems to exist between mind and matter.

What is the world except a little gap perceived to tear eternity apart, and break it into days and months and years?

We simply need new models of reality to fire the imagination of what is possible and to give us new visions of our place in the cosmos. A Course in Miracles is an answer to all questions.

To stare up to the stars with the eyes alone tells one nothing, but to perceive the response deep within one's being is another thing altogether.

Far below the surface of Personal Consciousness, and even beyond the Individual Unconscious is something in everyone that is akin to what is permeating the vast space overhead.

On looking within it is perceived as deep and wide and as full of mystery.

Bliss of Action

Expansion of happinesss is the purpose of existence, and evolution is the process through which it is fulfilled,

Who I Am is not something that exists and can be brought from somewhere else and lived. It is existence, the very life of everything the all pervading simplicity that brings action in bliss.

The fundamental communication of A Course in Miracles is  To Know Myself  only trough a practical frame of building a solid structure from the first 7 lessons can I find myself in this dream in the certainty no judgment is required

It is not in the book as white paper and black letters, but in the application of the ideas in each instant of my observation in this world. A gigantic hall of mirrors.

IDEAS, the building block's to a new experience of my purpose and function in the role of  Teacher of God  a role that transcends all previous role playing.

Whales and their babies

Yesterday! ....I stood on the edge of the Indian Ocean and watched these magnificent creatures their babies side by side, move, breath and rise up slap their tails in a play of freedom.

An awesome demonstration of a communication far transcending anything else.

Man watching this play and changing forever its previous instant  the idea of the unknown part of himself.

The ocean is their playground, it is their home in which they live and move gracefully.

The white birds hover above them like a partaking of their presence. The coastline of the western cape is breath-takingly powerful, the waves crash against the rocks and white foam rises high on and on, again and again.

Standing there I know this is a timeless instant that ever is present to present the love and power of the Universe to all who will join with it.

The simplicity of recognition

It is with an sense of adventure that I begin each day in a total expectation.

Only this day exists.

This day well lived will be the portal of escape of being asleep in the movement of my mind from the past to a future.

Skipping the tiny tick of 'NOW ' that timelesness presence patiently waiting to be acknowledged

The world is my class room, and I am its active principle in seeing myself in the widest spectrum of self-recognition.

Each figure is a splinter, a fragment, an interpretation of the free will in which we find ourselves or loose ourselves. an amazing joy to see each fragment in its action of discovering itself.

 In the chamelon of all these colors and forms, a facinating journey-a looking glass of seeing the dream in all aspects and realize there is nothing to fear.

The Journey has begun

A Teacher of A Course in Miracles, as the message and the messenger gives away in each instant either the theory of this key of self-remembering as it is experienced by opening the book and reading the words.

 Or it speaks from the certainty that the application of the ideas is a reality and has become its cause and effect in each instant as a total unfolding  of the Son of God.                

Salvation is not theoretical. Behold the problem, ask for the answer, and then accept it when it comes.

Nor will its coming be long delayed. All the help you can accept will be provided, and not one need you have will not be met.

Let us not, then, be too concerned with goals for which you are not ready. God takes you where you are and welcomes you.

What more could you desire, when this is all you need?

Man and his dream

"Man, according to Hermes, had taken on a mortal body merely to commune with nature, but at heart remained a spirit, a divine, creative, and immortal essence.

Living beings did not die, but, being composite, dissolved the bond in order to reunite and re-form.

Nothing dies; it only dissolves and transforms. The gnosis consisted in re-becoming a god."

"We suffer a perpetual transmutation, whereby we receive a perpetual flow of fresh atoms, while those that we have received are leaving us."

I need do nothing

What a trick that one is!

God’s work is done, finished and complete, but it is unfolding to our conscious awareness in proportion as we learn the truth and how to bring ourselves into harmony with that truth.

I am the witness that His work is done as His Son in the action of acceptance.
And that is a decision. And a full-time job ...Yeh! the savior of my dream.....

( From http://www.alice-in-wonderland.net/)

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.

"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."

"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.

"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

Space-Time...Its Fabric

AGGHH!!!! The power of decision to stretch space and time.

This fabric of analyzing. The decision to reject what occurs in all the emotional, physical or intellectual experiences of my identity in the world of space and time

The world as my class room to remember who I am ....

The fabric of my interpretation can make a day like a hundred years ..or in its simple acceptance no matter the form-a-day flies never to be witnessed again.

That instant recognition of what lies beyond all forms and names of bits and pieces

Time and space do not exist ...it is my observation of myself ..I stretch it or collapse it through self-recognition..

Boy Oh Boy ..such responsibility the Good Lord trusted me with ...Thanks Dad!

Ask not the sparrow how the eagle soars

For those with little wings have not accepted for themselves the power to share with you.

Listening to truth is the only way you can hear it now, and finally know it.
The message your brother gives you is up to you.

What does he say to you? What would you have him say?
 
Your decision about him determines the message you receive.
 
Remember that the Holy Spirit is in him, and His Voice speaks to you through him.
 
What can so holy a brother tell you except truth? But are you listening to it?
 
Your brother may not know who he is, but there is a light in his mind that does know.

Man in his journey of self-discovery

Each individual is exactly in each moment in the exact time and space to remember-I Am the Way, the Truth and the Light"

The practical aspect of ACIM is staggering in its endless renewing gift to give an idea when an individual chooses to engage with its action to open the door of his consciousness.

A Course in Miracles ever only inspires an opening of mind: " Look Again"  a wider picture of space and time  in which al the forms melt into oneness as oneself.

This speed up, this quickening is a natural state of mind, no questions rise only answers arrive that are already known. Awakening an inclussion of memories a staggering potential of acceptance.

" The Atonement was built into the space-time belief to set a limit on the need for the belief itself, and ultimately to make learning complete. The Atonement is the final lesson. Learning itself, like the classrooms in which it occurs, is temporary."

AGH... the joy of ideas that illuminate!

Charlie and Snoopy show the way

And so we find our peace. We will accept the function God has given us, for all illusions rest upon the weird belief that we can make another for ourselves.

Our self-made roles are shifting, and they seem to change from mourner to ecstatic bliss of love and loving.

We can laugh or weep, and greet the day with welcome or with tears.

 Our very being seems to change as we experience a thousand shifts in mood, and our emotions raise us high indeed, or dash us to the ground in hopelessness.


Is this the Son of God? Could He create such instability and call it Son? He Who is changeless shares His attributes with His creation.
 
All the images His Son appears to make have no effect on what he is. They blow across his mind like wind-swept leaves that form a patterning an instant, break apart to group again, and scamper off.
 
Or like mirages seen above a desert, rising from the dust.

The power of ideas

Let us be still an instant, and forget all things we ever learned, all thoughts we had, and every preconception that we hold of what things mean and what their purpose is.

Let us remember not our own ideas of what the world is for. We do not know.

Let every image held of everyone be loosened from our minds and swept away.

The power of God is limitless. And being always maximal, it offers everything to every call from anyone.

There is no order of difficulty here.

A call for help is given help.

The World of Shadows

This is the day when vain imaginings part like a curtain, to reveal what lies beyond them.

Now is what is really there made visible, while all the shadows which appeared to hide it merely sink away.

Now is the balance righted, and the scale of judgment left to Him Who judges true.

And in His judgment will a world unfold in perfect innocence before your eyes.

Trust not your good intentions. They are not enough. But trust implicitly your willingness, whatever else may enter.

Concentrate only on this, and be not disturbed that shadows surround it. That is why you came.

If you could come without them you would not need the holy instant. Come to it not in arrogance, assuming that you must achieve the state its coming brings with it.

The miracle of the holy instant lies in your willingness to let it be what it is. And in your willingness for this lies also your acceptance of yourself as you were meant to be.

Anticipation

Here in Cape Town the surf was high and wonderful on Sunday ...

Just as well as the surf carnival was planned for this week-end and so the beach was packed with all ages and all sizes of surf boards and their riders to show the mastership of riding and mastering the waves

An anticipation of the spectators watching on the beach to be thrilled by man and waves as one unit of action

The Joy of being a witness to all that energy in action again and again diving, tumbling, surviving when the power of water took charge....

And all returning over and over again to the ocean, because certainly the next wave would be the greatest to conquer. An inspiration to join, to watch this total dedication of man and his board to rise up in an instant of pure joy mastering that wave and ride into a new world.

The Journey

In any moment of the dream of time and space I am aware of the attraction to hold on to forms of either comfort or discomfort....it does not matter what as long as it gives me an identity.

An interesting wittnessing of myself to say the least, of a self-awareness that has needs, desires, and wants.

Being a witness only reveals all these ideas are an unforgiven moment of rejection of myself, that brings a smile to my face and a sigh of " Thank You Father" as it is an instant of freedom rememberd

What a Surprise

You may be surprised to hear how very different is reality from what you see. You do not realize the magnitude of that one error.

It was so vast and so completely incredible that from it a world of total unreality had to emerge. What else could come of it? Its fragmented aspects are fearful enough, as you begin to look at them.

But nothing you have seen begins to show you the enormity of the original error, which seemed to cast you out of Heaven, to shatter knowledge into meaningless bits of disunited perceptions, and to force you to make further substitutions.


That was the first projection of error outward. The world arose to hide it, and became the screen on which it was projected and drawn between you and the truth.
 
For truth extends inward, where the idea of loss is meaningless and only increase is conceivable. Do you really think it strange that a world in which everything is backwards and upside down arose from this projection of error? It was inevitable.
 
For truth brought to this could only remain within in quiet, and take no part in all the mad projection by which this world was made. Call it not sin but madness, for such it was and so it still remains.
 
Invest it not with guilt, for guilt implies it was accomplished in reality. And above all, be not afraid of it.( ACIM chapter 18)
