“God is in everything I see because God is in my mind…”
God is…
God is indeed in my mind, and the only thing that merits out-picturing… the only thing I want to see… This being the case, there is only one direction to turn to see the truth~ back into my mind, back to the abstract stillness from which creation springs… From here projection has its natural purpose ~LOVE EXTENDING~ How glorious is this vision which lights my mind and exposes the dark corners of guilt and shame, seemingly hidden within…
The now, proceeding forth from what appears to be the past, is lit with new hope… transforming the world I see, right before my eyes. It is the light of forgiveness out picturing my curriculum ~ All the debris I appear to see/experience, that doesn’t appear as love; that which is ‘my’ so-called life, is my part in the Atonement. God is in everything I see because God is in my mind. I will but to see only Christ and forgiveness everywhere…
Through application; practicing the Course’s principles and utilizing (when willing) the exercises outlined in the workbook, throughout the years, it has become quite automatic to turn my mind around, and look once again…
A Course in Miracles is a course in mind training for which I could never begin to estimate its value, or importance, or power, in my life. What miraculous power is contained in these simple lessons. Yes, simple; simple and pure and direct and poignant… Easy, however? Not so much… The ego never does easy…
My ego mind has used every defense at its disposal to derail me from my purpose; forgetfulness, busy-ness, worry, denial, glorification, pleasure/pain, ‘specialness’, deflection, projection, anger, guilt, fear… (name it)
And, at the end of the day, it has all boiled down to merely nothing… ~all just delay tactics… always in competition with God… all a battle of “my tiny will” to control my mind's witness and maintain the illusion of authorship/authority over my so called life… It has failed…
And finally~ all just forgiveness lessons…
One of the ego’s favorite devices is to twist things just enough that something about whatever is going down feels ‘right’, (hook) but the interpretation and application are up side-down. A great example of this is all the “New Age” manifest your reality, blah, blah, blah… where you visualize what you want to ‘create’ in this world, in your life.{Been there, done that, got the T-shirt}.
Yet simply by accepting the Atonement for myself, my seeing shifted… My seeing…
See, now: there is no world; only an idea of separation, out pictured.
Thus, the loftiest of fantasies, the most successful, important and significant figure in the world, successfully manifest, is still all of this of NOTHING. Oh, it’s a seductive gig ~ believe me I know… But that too, is just a delay tactic… The miracle is inevitable!
The temptation to try to see with the body’s eyes, interpreted by the brain’s definitions is strong~ we could say compulsive… And perhaps it is…
It’s still just a bad habit developed by the ego for the ego, to maintain the database it designed at the ‘beginning of time’, to out-picture separation.
This first thought spun out an entire false universe. And only my belief in it gives it life/reality. My choice lies in choosing the Holy Spirit corrective program for my seeing. And in doing so I choose to withdraw my belief…
A Course in Miracles as a mind training curriculum, and the application of forgiveness; all ways, all situations, at all times, allows for the Holy Spirit, the means for it accomplishment, to project love everywhere. And, in a life `once hardwired for fear. Nothing short of a miracle…yes?
. “Today we are trying to use a new kind of "projection." We are not attempting to get rid of what we do not like by seeing it outside. Instead, we are trying to see in the world what is in our minds, and what we want to recognize is there. Thus, we are trying to join with what we see, rather than keeping it apart from us. That is the fundamental difference between vision and the way you see.”
This is not an exercise in manifestation; it is an exercise in recognition.
“I am responsible for what I see.
I choose the feelings I experience, and I decide
Upon the goal I would achieve.
And everything that seems to happen to me
I ask for, and receive as I have asked.”(T-21.II.2)
We are Christ…and God is in everything we see because God is in our mind…
