Sow and Reap

Jesus speaks in John 4-36

And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.



“My food is to do the will of the one who sent me and to complete his work. Don’t you say,
‘There are four more months and then comes the harvest?’ I tell you, look up and see that the fields are already white for harvest!

The one who reaps receives pay and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that the one who sows and the one who reaps can rejoice together. For in this instance the saying is true, ‘One sows and another reaps.’ I sent you to reap what you did not work for; others have labored and you have entered into their labor.”

The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest. 

"Many are called but few are chosen" should be, "All are called but few choose to listen." Therefore, they do not choose right. The "chosen ones" are merely those who choose right sooner. Right minds can do this now, and they will find rest unto their souls. God knows you only in peace, and this is your reality.

"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.

The Power of an Idea

The Ideas of A Course in Miracles contain  hidden energy. These ideas reach the most hidden recesses of the inner altar of a belief system based on the past, and once they have touched that inner state leave an everlasting trace.

Once touched by the truth as an experience of self-discovery a new world is born

The Idea of Trust

This is the foundation on which their ability to fulfill their function rests. Perception is the result of learning. In fact, perception is learning, because cause and effect are never separated.

The teachers of God have trust in the world, because they have learned it is not governed by the laws the world made up. It is governed by a Power That is in them but not of them. It is this Power That keeps all things safe. It is through this Power that the teachers of God look on a forgiven world.

When this Power has once been experienced, it is impossible to trust one's own petty strength again.

Who would attempt to fly with the tiny wings of a sparrow when the mighty power of an eagle has been given him? And who would place his faith in the shabby offerings of the ego when the gifts of God are laid before him? What is it that induces them to make the shift?

What Will a Teacher of God Do All day

In Space and Time no one should attempt to answer these questions alone. Surely no teacher of God has come this far without realizing that.

The curriculum is highly individualized, and all aspects are under the Holy Spirit's particular care and guidance. Ask and He will answer.

The responsibility is His, and He alone is fit to assume it. To do so is His function. To refer the questions to Him is yours.

Would you want to be responsible for decisions about which you understand so little? Be glad you have a Teacher Who cannot make a mistake. His answers are always right. Would you say that of yours?change each day.


To the advanced teacher of God this question is meaningless. There is no program, for the lessons
Yet the teacher of God is sure of but one thing; they do not change at random. Seeing this and understanding that it is true, he rests content.

He will be told all that his role should be, this day and every day. And those who share that role with him will find him, so they can learn the lessons for the day together.

Not one is absent whom he needs; not one is sent without a learning goal already set, and one which can be learned that very day.

For the advanced teacher of God, then, this question is superfluous. It has been asked and answered, and he keeps in constant contact with the Answer. He is set, and sees the road on which he walks stretch surely and smoothly before him.

Sunrise

Today a day in nature, breakfest right on the edge of the Mediterranean, being connected with the movement of the waves, so powerful like a message from another world.

A new day born, fresh, full of answers that are waiting to be accepted. 

A blissfull day of walking, swimming and seeing in all the happenings the Love of God.

All this beauty will rise to bless your sight as you look upon the world with forgiving eyes.

For forgiveness literally transforms vision, and lets you see the real world reaching quietly and gently across chaos, removing all illusions that had twisted your perception and fixed it on the past.

The smallest leaf becomes a thing of wonder, and a blade of grass a sign of God's perfection.

From the forgiven world the Son of God is lifted easily into his home. And there he knows that he has always rested there in peace.
 
Even salvation will become a dream, and vanish from his mind. For salvation is the end of dreams, and with the closing of the dream will have no meaning. Who, awake in Heaven, could dream that there could ever be need of salvation?

Brothers

Just to declare today how amazing the idea of brothers is in my mind. How I am certain that they are exactly like myself and bringing ever more the awareness of the harmony in which we are together in the action of giving and receiving. In this dream of awakening.

The joy of knowing oneself in a wide variety of memories, a spectrum of a reflection of creation.

All gifts my brothers give belong to me.

Each day a thousand treasures come to me with every passing moment. I am blessed with gifts throughout the day, in value far beyond all things of which I can conceive.

A brother smiles upon another, and my heart is gladdened. Someone speaks a word of gratitude or mercy, and my mind receives this gift and takes it as its own.

And everyone who finds the way to God becomes my savior, pointing out the way to me, and giving me his certainty that what he learned is surely mine as well.


I thank You, Father, for the many gifts that come to me today and every day from every Son of God. My brothers are unlimited in all their gifts to me. Now may I offer them my thankfulness, that gratitude to them may lead me on to my Creator and His memory.

Creation

My self-realization as a Teacher of God is that all ideas of A Course in Miracles are connected. Like a quantum instant in a holographic picture each idea adds and never takes away.

The core of this greatest of keys of awakening, is is ever extending to all aspects of the Sonship, each one of us as a teacher expresses this recognition in wholeness in joy and amazement, adding to creation

Like a journey in the Mind of God unfolding ever magnificent ideas that carry me further in this Kingdom.

Creation is the opposite of all illusions, for creation is the truth. Creation is the holy Son of God, for in creation is His Will complete in every aspect, making every part container of the Whole.

Its oneness is forever guaranteed inviolate; forever held within His holy Will, beyond all possibility of harm, of separation, imperfection and of any spot upon its sinlessness.

We are creation; we the Sons of God. We seem to be discrete, and unaware of our eternal unity with Him.

Yet back of all our doubts, past all our fears, there still is certainty. For Love remains with all Its Thoughts, Its sureness being theirs. God's memory is in our holy minds, which know their oneness and their unity with their Creator.

Let our function be only to let this memory return, only to let God's Will be done on earth, only to be restored to sanity, and to be but as God created us.
Our Father calls to us. We hear His Voice, and we forgive creation in the Name of its Creator, Holiness Itself, Whose holiness His Own creation shares; Whose holiness is still a part of us.

Going Home

The immediacy of returning my mind to my home in Heaven is in all ways in time and space present. Like Dorothy in the story ..I forgot to click my heels, or in other words change my mind.

I believed a tiny mad idea and searched in vain for a solution.
I am surrounded by forms that are not a hindrance but an inspiration to remember the simplicity of changing my mind.

The Universe is thought. God is an idea. I am an idea. Going Home is an idea. How long can it take to accept an idea? 

You will undertake a journey because you are not at home in this world. And you will search for your home whether you realize where it is or not.

If you believe it is outside you the search will be futile, for you will be seeking it where it is not. You do not remember how to look within for you do not believe your home is there.

Yet the Holy Spirit remembers it for you, and He will guide you to your home because that is His mission. As He fulfills His mission He will teach you yours, for your mission is the same as His.

By guiding your brothers home you are but following Him.
