Accomplished








When your body and your ego and your dreams are gone, you will know that you will last forever. 

Perhaps you think this is accomplished through death, but nothing is accomplished through death, because death is nothing.

Everything is accomplished through life, and life is of the mind and in the mind.

The body neither lives nor dies, because it cannot contain you who are life.

If we share the same mind, you can overcome death because I did.

Death is an attempt to resolve conflict by not deciding at all.

Like any other impossible solution the ego attempts, it will not work.

Right-mindedness

Right-mindedness is not to be confused with the knowing mind, because it is applicable only to right perception.

You can be right-minded or wrong-minded, and even this is subject to degrees, clearly demonstrating that knowledge is not involved.

The term "right-mindedness" is properly used as the correction for "wrong-mindedness," and applies to the state of mind that induces accurate perception.

It is miracle-minded because it heals misperception, and this is indeed a miracle in view of how you perceive yourself.

Myths and Magic




Myths and magic are closely associated, since myths are usually related to ego origins, and magic to the powers the ego ascribes to itself. 

Mythological systems generally include some account of "the creation," and associate this with its particular form of magic. 

The so-called "battle for survival" is only the ego's struggle to preserve itself, and its interpretation of its own beginning. 

This beginning is usually associated with physical birth, because it is hard to maintain that the ego existed before that point in time. 

The more "religiously" ego-oriented may believe that the soul existed before, and will continue to exist after a temporary lapse into ego life. 

Some even believe that the soul will be punished for this lapse. However, salvation does not apply to spirit, which is not in danger and does not need to be salvaged.

Wishing All A Wonderful Christmas CElebration

The Christ

Let the Christ in you interpret for you, and do not try to limit what you see by narrow little beliefs that are unworthy of God's Son. 

For until Christ comes into His Own, the Son of God will see himself as Fatherless.

He was not given there, nor was received by anything except yourself. For no two brothers can unite except through Christ, Whose vision sees them one.

Think what is given you, my holy brother. '

This child will teach you what you do not understand, and make it plain. For his will be no alien tongue.

 He will need no interpreter to you, for it was you who taught him what he knows because you knew it. He could not come to anyone but you, never to "something else." Where Christ has entered no one is alone, for never could He find a home in separate ones. 

Yet must He be reborn into His ancient home, so seeming new and yet as old as He, a tiny newcomer, dependent on the holiness of your relationship to let Him live.

One Life


We share one life because we have one Source, a Source from Which perfection comes to us, remaining always in the holy minds which He created perfect.

As we were, so are we now and will forever be.

 A sleeping mind must waken, as it sees its own perfection mirroring the Lord of Life so perfectly it fades into what is reflected there.

And now it is no more a mere reflection. It becomes the thing reflected, and the light which makes reflection possible.

No vision now is needed. For the wakened mind is one that knows its Source, its Self, its Holiness.

Dreams


There is a way of finding certainty right here and now.

Refuse to be a part of fearful dreams whatever form they take, for you will lose identity in them.

You find yourself by not accepting them as causing you, and giving you effects.

You stand apart from them, but not apart from him who dreams them.

  Thus you separate the dreamer from the dream, and join in one, but let the other go.

The dream is but illusion in the mind. And with the mind you would unite, but never with the dream.

It is the dream you fear, and not the mind. You see them as the same, because you think that you are but a dream.

And what is real and what is but illusion in yourself you do not know and cannot tell apart.

Saturday, December 17, 2011

Images

Today's idea does not describe the way you see yourself now.

It does, however, describe what vision will show you. It is difficult for anyone who thinks he is in this world to believe this of himself.

Yet the reason he thinks he is in this world is because he does not believe it.

You will believe that you are part of where you think you are.

That is because you surround yourself with the environment you want.

And you want it to protect the image of yourself that you have made.

The image is part of this environment. What you see while you believe you are in it is seen through the eyes of the image.

This is not vision. Images cannot see.

Renewed

I am renewed each time a brother learns there is a way from misery and pain.

 I am reborn each time a brother's mind turns to the light in him and looks for me. 

I have forgotten no one. Help me now to lead you back to where the journey was begun, to make another choice with me.

Release me as you practice once again the thoughts I brought to you from Him Who sees your bitter need, and knows the answer God has given Him. 

Together we review these thoughts. Together we devote our time and effort to them. 

And together we will teach them to our brothers. God would not have Heaven incomplete. It waits for you, as I do. I am incomplete without your part in me. 

And as I am made whole we go together to our ancient home, prepared for us before time was and kept unchanged by time, immaculate and safe, as it will be at last when time is done.

Jesus speaks


I said before that of yourself you can do nothing, but you are not of yourself. If you were, what you have made would be true, and you could never escape. It is because you did not make yourself that you need be troubled over nothing. Your gods are nothing, because your Father did not create them. 
You cannot make creators who are unlike your Creator, any more than He could have created a Son who was unlike Him. If creation is sharing, it cannot create what is unlike itself. It can share only what it is. Depression is isolation, and so it could not have been create

Immortality (Joel Goldsmith)

Everyone is interested in the subject of immortality – immortality here and now, in this body, not merely an immortality to be attained after death.

 It is in this very body that immortality must be experienced – this very body which we are now using as our instrument.

We shall not lose our body, but we will lose our false sense of body and come into the realization of the true nature of body.


By losing the sense of disease, accident, and old age, and coming into a higher realization of perfect body, there is no loss of body:
 
 There is just the loss of a false sense of body and the realization of the true nature of body.

Supply


I am that center through which God operates, and, therefore, I understand the nature of supply.

Never will I attempt to demonstrate supply; never will I attempt to get supply.

 Since the activity of the Christ, Itself, is supply, then all I need to do is to let it flow.

Since “I and my Father are one,” and I am the Christ, or Son of God, I am that place through which God flows.

Therefore, I can meet every demand that is made upon me in the recognition of have.

sowing

"As ye sow, so shall ye reap" He interprets to mean what you consider worth cultivating you will cultivate in yourself.

Your judgment of what is worthy makes it worthy for you.

"Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord" is easily reinterpreted if you remember that ideas increase only by being shared.

The statement emphasizes that vengeance cannot be shared.

Give it therefore to the Holy Spirit, Who will undo it in you because it does not belong in your mind, which is part of God.

A Function

 Your function is to show your brother sin can have no cause. 


 How futile must it be to see yourself a picture of the proof that what your function is can never be! 


The Holy Spirit's picture changes not the body into something it is not.  


It only takes away from it all signs of accusation and of blamefulness.  


Pictured without a purpose, it is seen as neither sick nor well, nor bad nor good.  No grounds are offered that it may be judged in any way at all.  


It has no life, but neither is it dead.  It stands apart from all experience of love or fear.  


For now it witnesses to nothing yet, its purpose being open, and the mind made free again to choose what it is for. 


 Now is it not condemned, but waiting for a purpose to be given, that it may fulfill the function that it will receive.

Appearances (From Joel Goldsmith)


To remedy this misconception of your relationship to God, the first thing that must be remembered is not to judge by appearances.

Do not judge by the fact that today you may be very ill or very poor, or that you may be entertaining sinful thoughts or even be committing a sin.

Do not judge from any of these things as to whether or not you are one with God.

All such conditions can tell you is that at a particular moment you have a sense of separation from God. It does not prove that you are not one with God.

The reason that you cannot feel any progress in yourself is that you cannot feel spiritual.

There is no such thing as a person’s feeling spiritual. That is as impossible as feeling that you are honest or feeling that you are moral.

You can be honest or you can be moral, but you cannot feel it; you can just be it. There is no feeling about it, nor is there any feeling about being spiritual.

Being spiritual is a state of consciousness, which you are, but you have nothing to compare it with, since the “old man” is gone.

Need

Only the Holy Spirit knows what you need. For He will give you all things that do not block the way to light.

And what else could you need? In time, He gives you all the things that you need have, and will renew them as long as you have need of them.

He will take nothing from you as long as you have any need of it.

And yet He knows that everything you need is temporary, and will but last until you step aside from all your needs and realize that all of them have been fulfilled.

Therefore He has no investment in the things that He supplies, except to make certain that you will not use them on behalf of lingering in time.

He knows that you are not at home there, and He wills no delay to wait upon your joyous homecoming.

I place the future in the hands of God


Accept today's idea, and you have passed all anxiety, all pits of hell, all blackness of depression, thoughts of sin, and devastation brought about by guilt.

Accept today's idea, and you have released the world from all imprisonment by loosening the heavy chains that locked the door to freedom on it.

You are saved, and your salvation thus becomes the gift you give the world, because you have received.

Friday, November 18, 2011

Delay

Delay is of the ego, because time is its concept.

Both time and delay are meaningless in eternity.

I have said before that the Holy Spirit is God's Answer to the ego.

Everything of which the Holy Spirit reminds you is in direct opposition to the ego's notions, because true and false perceptions are themselves opposed.

The Holy Spirit has the task of undoing what the ego has made.

He undoes it at the same level on which the ego operates, or the mind would be unable to understand the change.

Thursday, November 17, 2011

Each day

Each day, each hour, every instant, I am choosing what I want to look upon, the sounds I want to hear, the witnesses to what I want to be the truth for me.


Today I choose to look upon what Christ would have me see, to listen to God's Voice, and seek the witnesses to what is true in God's creation.


In Christ's sight, the world and God's creation meet, and as they come together all perception disappears.


His kindly sight redeems the world from death, for nothing that He looks on but must live, remembering the Father and the Son; Creator and creation unified.


Father, Christ's vision is the way to You. What He beholds invites Your memory to be restored to me. And this I choose to be what I would look upon today.

Wednesday, November 16, 2011

Reality

Reality needs no cooperation from you to be itself.

But your awareness of it needs your help, because it is your choice.

Listen to what the ego says, and see what it directs you see, and it is sure that you will see yourself as tiny, vulnerable and afraid.

You will experience depression, a sense of worthlessness, and feelings of impermanence and unreality.

You will believe that you are helpless prey to forces far beyond your own control, and far more powerful than you.

And you will think the world you made directs your destiny. For this will be your faith.

But never believe because it is your faith it makes reality.

Thursday, November 10, 2011

This Day

It needs but two who would have happiness this day to promise it to all the world.

It needs but two to understand that they cannot decide alone, to guarantee the joy they asked for will be wholly shared.

For they have understood the basic law that makes decision powerful, and gives it all effects that it will ever have.

It needs but two. These two are joined before there can be a decision.

Let this be the one reminder that you keep in mind, and you will have the day you want, and give it to the world by having it yourself.

Your judgment has been lifted from the world by your decision for a happy day.

And as you have received, so must you give.

Wednesday, November 9, 2011

Love and Guilt

Earlier, I said that the Holy Spirit shares the goal of all good teachers, whose ultimate aim is to make themselves unnecessary by teaching their pupils all they know.

The Holy Spirit wants only this, for sharing the Father's Love for His Son, He seeks to remove all guilt from his mind that he may remember his Father in peace.

Peace and guilt are antithetical, and the Father can be remembered only in peace.

Love and guilt cannot coexist, and to accept one is to deny the other. Guilt hides Christ from your sight, for it is the denial of the blamelessness of God's Son.

Realization ( From Joel Goldsmith

Your home is a composite of your consciousness of home. You are the doorkeeper of your household and you should stand guard at the door to see that nothing gets past that door which does not have the right to be there.

This door, however, is not a material door. The only door there is, is the door of consciousness, and the only door for which you are responsible is that door. What do you allow to get past your door, your consciousness? 

Do you accept contagion and infection as power in your home? Are you a party to discord and bickering? You should make it a matter of daily realization that nothing can enter the doorway of consciousness except the truth of being, and that no suggestion of human power, whether physical, material or mental, is law. 

Any belief that enters your home must first enter through your consciousness, and the truth of being in your consciousness will act as a law of annihilation to any false belief that would intrude.

Everything that comes within range of your consciousness will take on the nature and character of that consciousness. Your own life is not only affected by what gets past the door of your consciousness, but the life of everyone who has brought himself to your consciousness is affected, and that includes the members of your family and your community. 
 
All these look to you for bread; they look to you for the truth of being, but oftentimes your mind is so occupied with concern over your own discords and inharmonies that they are turned away without the divine substance which they sought from you.
 
 
Deep within every person is a hunger for the bread of life. Friends, relatives, and even acquaintances who find their way to your home ostensibly seeking companionship, supply, or any form of material good, even though from their point of view that may be their purpose, are in reality longing and craving for the true substance of life, the meat that perisheth not. 
 
If you give them money and give them that alone, if you give them your physical, human companionship, and give them that alone, you are giving them a stone: You are not giving them the bread of life; you are not lifting their state of consciousness. 
 
This you can do only in the degree that you are specifically entertaining the consciousness of truth within your being as they come to you:
       
 
"God is the substance and the activity of my home; God is the consciousness of every individual who enters my home, whether it is family or friends. Nothing enters my home to contaminate or violate its sanctity, because God is my only home. 
 
As long as my home appears on earth as a material structure, it will express the harmony of God." …

The Christ

The Christ in you remembers God with all the certainty with which He knows His Love.

But only if His Son is innocent can He be Love.

For God were fear indeed if he whom He created innocent could be a slave to guilt. God's perfect Son remembers his creation.

But in guilt he has forgotten what he really is.

The fear of God results as surely from the lesson that His Son is guilty as God's Love must be remembered when he learns his innocence.

Mankind

There is no challenge to a teacher of God.

Challenge implies doubt, and the trust on which God's teachers rest secure makes doubt impossible.

Therefore they can only succeed.  In this, as in all things, they are honest.

They can only succeed, because they never do their will alone.

They choose for all mankind; for all the world and all things in it; for the unchanging and unchangeable beyond appearances; and for the Son of God and his Creator.

How could they not succeed? 

They choose in perfect honesty, sure of their choice as of themselves.

Our eyes


Let not your eyes behold a dream; your ears bear witness to illusion.

They were made to look upon a world that is not there; to hear the voices that can make no sound.

Yet are there other sounds and other sights that can be seen and heard and understood.

For eyes and ears are senses without sense, and what they see and hear they but report.

It is not they that hear and see, but you, who put together every jagged piece, each senseless scrap and shred of evidence, and make a witness to the world you want.

Let not the body's ears and eyes perceive these countless fragments seen within the gap that you imagined, and let them persuade their maker his imaginings are real.

Praise be to You

Praise be to you who make the Father one with His Own Son.

Alone we are all lowly, but together we shine with brightness so intense that none of us alone can even think of it.

Before the glorious radiance of the Kingdom guilt melts away, and transformed into kindness will never more be what it was.

Every reaction you experience will be so purified that it is fitting as a hymn of praise unto your Father.

See only praise of Him in what He has created, for He will never cease His praise of you.

United in this praise we stand before the gates of Heaven where we will surely enter in our sinlessness. God loves you.

Could I, then, lack faith in you and love Him perfectly?

Thursday, October 27, 2011

A Gap

The gap between you and your brother is not one of space between two separate bodies.

  And this but seems to be dividing off your separate minds.

It is the symbol of a promise made to meet when you prefer, and separate till you and he elect to meet again.

And then your bodies seem to get in touch, and thereby signify a meeting place to join.

But always is it possible for you and him to go your separate ways.

Conditional upon the "right" to separate will you and he agree to meet from time to time, and keep apart in intervals of separation, which do protect you from the "sacrifice" of love.

The body saves you, for it gets away from total sacrifice and gives to you the time in which to build again your separate self, which you truly believe diminishes as you and your brother meet.

Wednesday, October 26, 2011

Holiness

Holiness can never be really hidden in darkness, but you can deceive yourself about it.

This deception makes you fearful because you realize in your heart it is a deception, and you exert enormous efforts to establish its reality.

The miracle sets reality where it belongs.

Reality belongs only to spirit, and the miracle acknowledges only truth.

It thus dispels illusions about yourself, and puts you in communion with yourself and God.

The miracle joins in the Atonement by placing the mind in the service of the Holy Spirit.

Monday, October 24, 2011

Witness

You need not fear the Higher Court will condemn you.
It will merely dismiss the case against you.


There can be no case against a child of God, and every witness to guilt in God's creations is bearing false witness to God Himself.

Appeal everything you believe gladly to God's Own Higher Court, because it speaks for Him and therefore speaks truly.

It will dismiss the case against you, however carefully you have built it up.

The case may be fool-proof, but it is not God-proof. The Holy Spirit will not hear it, because He can only witness truly.

His verdict will always be "thine is the Kingdom," because He was given to you to remind you of what you are.

Saturday, October 22, 2011

An Example from Joel Goldsmith

When we appear to be good, it is the activity of God operating through us. When we appear to be evil, it is the activity of material sense which is only a sense of separation from God.

For example, if you saw a thief whom you wanted to help, you would not accept into your consciousness a person needing to be healed of dishonesty: you would separate the dishonesty from the person and you would recognize this as a universal belief in a selfhood apart from God, a universal belief in lack and limitation, or a universal belief in the possibility that someone can get good from another, all of which beliefs are without power.

In other words, whatever form the error assumes, it is not an error belonging to any person:

It is simply a universal belief. Never forget that error is nothing but a universal belief.

Wednesday, October 19, 2011

Counterpart

The real world holds a counterpart for each unhappy thought reflected in your world; a sure correction for the sights of fear and sounds of battle which your world contains.

The real world shows a world seen differently, through quiet eyes and with a mind at peace.

Nothing but rest is there.

There are no cries of pain and sorrow heard, for nothing there remains outside forgiveness.

And the sights are gentle. Only happy sights and sounds can reach the mind that has forgiven itself.

Saturday, October 15, 2011

Timelessness


A timelessness in which is time made real; a part of God that can attack itself; a separate brother as an enemy; a mind within a body all are forms of circularity whose ending starts at its beginning, ending at its cause.


The world you see depicts exactly what you thought you did.

Except that now you think that what you did is being done to you.

The guilt for what you thought is being placed outside yourself, and on a guilty world that dreams your dreams and thinks your thoughts instead of you. 

It brings its vengeance, not your own.

It keeps you narrowly confined within a body, which it punishes because of all the sinful things the body does within its dream.

You have no power to make the body stop its evil deeds because you did not make it, and cannot control its actions nor its purpose nor its fate.

Thursday, October 13, 2011

Happy Learner

The Holy Spirit needs a happy learner, in whom His mission can be happily accomplished.

You who are steadfastly devoted to misery must first recognize that you are miserable and not happy.

The Holy Spirit cannot teach without this contrast, for you believe that misery is happiness.

This has so confused you that you have undertaken to learn to do what you can never do, believing that unless you learn it you will not be happy.

You do not realize that the foundation on which this most peculiar learning goal depends means absolutely nothing.

Wednesday, October 12, 2011

Reason



  Let reason take another step.

If you attack whom God would heal and hate the one He loves, then you and your Creator have a different will.

Yet if you are His Will, what you must then believe is that you are not yourself. You can indeed believe this, and you do.

And you have faith in this and see much evidence on its behalf.

And where, you wonder, does your strange uneasiness, your sense of being disconnected, and your haunting fear of lack of meaning in yourself arise?

It is as though you wandered in without a plan of any kind except to wander off, for only that seems certain.

Tuesday, October 11, 2011

God's Relationship

God established His relationship with you to make you happy, and nothing you do that does not share His purpose can be real.

The purpose God ascribed to anything is its only function.

Because of His reason for creating His relationship with you, the function of relationships became forever "to make happy."

And nothing else. To fulfill this function you relate to your creations as God to His.

For nothing God created is apart from happiness, and nothing God created but would extend happiness as its Creator did.

Whatever does not fulfill this function cannot be real.

Monday, October 10, 2011

Pleasure

All real pleasure comes from doing God's Will.

This is because not doing it is a denial of Self. 
Denial of Self results in illusions, while correction of the error brings release from it.

Do not deceive yourself into believing that you can relate in peace to God or to your brothers with anything external.

Child of God, you were created to create the good, the beautiful and the holy. Do not forget this.

The Love of God, for a little while, must still be expressed through one body to another, because vision is still so dim.

You can use your body best to help you enlarge your perception so you can achieve real vision, of which the physical eye is incapable.

Learning to do this is the body's only true usefulness.

Saturday, October 8, 2011

Through Life

When your body and your ego and your dreams are gone, you will know that you will last forever.

Perhaps you think this is accomplished through death, but nothing is accomplished through death, because death is nothing.

Everything is accomplished through life, and life is of the mind and in the mind.

The body neither lives nor dies, because it cannot contain you who are life.

If we share the same mind, you can overcome death because I did.

Death is an attempt to resolve conflict by not deciding at all. Like any other impossible solution the ego attempts, it will not work.

Friday, October 7, 2011

Transported



Everyone has experienced what he would call a sense of being transported beyond himself.

This feeling of liberation far exceeds the dream of freedom sometimes hoped for in special relationships.

It is a sense of actual escape from limitations.

If you will consider what this "transportation" really entails, you will realize that it is a sudden unawareness of the body, and a joining of yourself and something else in which your mind enlarges to encompass it. It becomes part of you, as you unite with it.

And both become whole, as neither is perceived as separate.

Thursday, October 6, 2011

Spiritual vision

Spiritual vision literally cannot see error, and merely looks for Atonement.

All solutions the physical eye seeks dissolve.

Spiritual vision looks within and recognizes immediately that the altar has been defiled and needs to be repaired and protected.

Perfectly aware of the right defense it passes over all others, looking past error to truth.

Because of the strength of its vision, it brings the mind into its service.

This re-establishes the power of the mind and makes it increasingly unable to tolerate delay, realizing that it only adds unnecessary pain.

As a result, the mind becomes increasingly sensitive to what it would once have regarded as very minor intrusions of discomfort.

Wednesday, October 5, 2011

Experience ( Joel Goldsmith)

    Our entire experience of frustration and mistakes comes from our reluctance to wait long enough for the Christ to take over.

Most of us are unwilling to wait until the moment in which a decision is necessary, but insist on knowing the answer in advance.

Spiritual illumination comes to us in a measure with our first investigation of truth. We believe that we are seeking good, or truth; whereas the light has begun to shine in our consciousness compelling us to take the steps we have since taken.

Every increase of our spiritual understanding has more light appearing and dispelling the darkness of sense. This inflow of illumination will continue until we come to the full realization of our true identity as “the light of the world.”

Without illumination, we struggle with the forces of the world; we labor for a living; we struggle to maintain our place and position; we compete for riches and honors.

Often we war with our own friends and even find ourselves at war with ourselves. There is no security in personal possessions even after the battle to acquire them has been won.

Tuesday, October 4, 2011

The law of creation

The law of creation is that you love your creations as yourself, because they are part of you.

Everything that was created is therefore perfectly safe, because the laws of God protect it by His Love.

Any part of your mind that does not know this has banished itself from knowledge, because it has not met its conditions.

Who could have done this but you?

 Recognize this gladly, for in this recognition lies the realization that your banishment is not of God, and therefore does not exist.

Monday, October 3, 2011

God's Word

Perhaps God's Word is truer than your own. Perhaps His gifts to you are real.

Perhaps He has not wholly been outwitted by your plan to keep His Son in deep oblivion, and go the way you chose without your Self.

God's Will does not oppose. It merely is. It is not God you have imprisoned in your plan to lose your Self.

He does not know about a plan so alien to His Will.

There was a need He did not understand, to which He gave an Answer.

That is all. And you who have this Answer given you have need no more of anything but This.

Sunday, October 2, 2011

Holy Trinity

The Son of God is part of the Holy Trinity, but the Trinity Itself is one.

There is no confusion within Its Levels, because They are of one Mind and one Will.

This single purpose creates perfect integration and establishes the peace of God.

Yet this vision can be perceived only by the truly innocent.

Because their hearts are pure, the innocent defend true perception instead of defending themselves against it.

Understanding the lesson of the Atonement they are without the wish to attack, and therefore they see truly.

This is what the Bible means when it says, "When He shall appear (or be perceived) we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is."

Saturday, October 1, 2011

Motivation

All good teachers realize that only fundamental change will last, but they do not begin at that level.

Strengthening motivation for change is their first and foremost goal.

It is also their last and final one. Increasing motivation for change in the learner is all that a teacher need do to guarantee change.

Change in motivation is a change of mind, and this will inevitably produce fundamental change because the mind is fundamental.

Thursday, September 29, 2011

Rest

Rest with Him frequently today.

For He was willing to become a little Child that you might learn of Him how strong is he who comes without defenses, offering only love's messages to those who think he is their enemy.

He holds the might of Heaven in His hand and calls them friend, and gives His strength to them, that they may see He would be Friend to them.

He asks that they protect Him, for His home is far away, and He will not return to it alone.

Monday, September 26, 2011

The Will of God

To fulfill the Will of God perfectly is the only joy and peace that can be fully known, because it is the only function that can be fully experienced.

When this is accomplished, then, there is no other experience.

Yet the wish for other experience will block its accomplishment, because God's Will cannot be forced upon you, being an experience of total willingness.

The Holy Spirit understands how to teach this, but you do not.

That is why you need Him, and why God gave Him to you.

Only His teaching will release your will to God's, uniting it with His power and glory and establishing them as yours.

You share them as God shares them, because this is the natural outcome of their being.

Saturday, September 24, 2011

Joy

The constancy of joy is a condition quite alien to your understanding.

Yet if you could even imagine what it must be, you would desire it although you understand it not.

The constancy of happiness has no exceptions; no change of any kind. It is unshakable as is the Love of God for His creation.

Sure in its vision as its Creator is in what He knows, happiness looks on everything and sees it is the same. 

It sees not the ephemeral, for it desires everything be like itself, and sees it so.

Nothing has power to confound its constancy, because its own desire cannot be shaken.

It comes as surely unto those who see the final question is necessary to the rest, as peace must come to those who choose to heal and not to judge.

Truth (from Joel Goldsmith)

My mind imbued with Truth becomes the law of harmony unto my body, my business, my family.
 
If my mind is imbued or has received this truth that “I and my Father are One” and that spiritual reality is the only reality, then that mind imbued with Truth becomes the law unto my health, my supply, my body and my being.
       
The mind of the person not imbued with truth, the unillumined human mind, the mind that has never studied metaphysical truth, that mind can’t heal anything.
 
That mind can’t bless. That mind can’t bring about health, supply or harmony in your experience.
 
BUT, that same mind imbued with Truth becomes a Law of health and healing, not only to yourself, but to those that reach out to you!
