“My attack thoughts are attacking my invulnerability…”
When I began working with the Course, the idea of pure invulnerability as an experience of my self seemed a concept so foreign to my mind, I really couldn’t grasp it.
It was like I just didn’t speak the language…
It was an idea equal to “Fairytales do come true”
I thought I knew what invulnerability meant, but outside of ‘the best defense is a good offense’, type of invulnerability, I was in a foreign country.
I had only my faith and my little willingness to set me on a journey into the abyss of known vulnerability. And with my tiny courage mustered, I grabbed onto my Course like a life raft and took that leap of faith….
Slowly, chapter upon chapter, lesson upon lesson, I began to grasp the value of non-judgment. There was something about this invulnerability concept that kept calling to me and bringing with it a feeling of comfort and peacefulness. As I have given myself over to these sometimes ‘-foreign’ ideas and often ‘-foreign’ meanings of ideas, I have watched my mind transform to one where meaning is written for me.
I realized that acceptance of the ideas is all I need. “The role of the miracle worker is to accept the Atonement for himself” …And, as is apparent in my own experience, this is how it’s done… thank you.
Every thought is either projected or extended. Attack thoughts are projected. Real thoughts are extended. The perceived world is just a representation of thoughts. Attack thoughts are kept out of awareness and then "seen" in the world as if they were external or independent of their "maker" -- our own mind.
There are no problems apart from my mind. Just as the Course says:
”You believe what you see because you see what you believe”
You see what you believe… I see that I am invulnerable and any attack thoughts of any kind, attack this new found stabilization in the truth.
I but choose God’s plan instead of mine and let the Holy Spirit within my mind show me the replacement for judgment and attack. In choosing with Him, I no longer want to worry, be concerned, compare, regret… after all, why attack myself…?
Better to trust~ and let trust answer every situation, NOW….
‘Happy dreams do come true’!…
