“My attack thoughts are attacking my invulnerability… Above all else, I want to see… Above all else I want to see differently… God is in everything I see…God is in everything I see because God is in my mind~
I am, inevitably, a believer.
It was my belief in this world that kept it real for me; all the pain and anguish and striving and failing, winning and loss… It is only by suspending that belief for an instant that the thought, “There has got to be another way”, entered my mind. This small willingness, then faith, led to questioning my beliefs, withdrawing faith from them and placing faith in the Experience beyond.
This experience showed up as living miracles in my life, totally altering my perception of the world, of you and of myself. The miracle has given me the certain trust that the Mind we share with God is the only reality. It is the only peace… It is the only thing worth seeing or seeing with. It is the content that ‘Gives Life’ to anything, so it is the only real thing. It is the Self of the believer…
This perspective is true humility, grounding one so deeply in the true inheritance; the always-ness of being, that it become obvious that any other investment is a total waste. Why give into temptations of personhood; pleasure, pain, petty goals, and disappointments? Why give way to ‘I’ll do it tomorrow’ and sell oneself out to distraction? “You’ve been down that road. And you know where it leads…”
God in is in my mind, is the only real thing to see. As one becomes increasingly aware of this through experiencing its significance, one begins to understand how time is being used by the Holy Spirit; collapsing those same intervals of time back in on itself into the eternal NOW, behind where time began … We see that all our addictions are merely distractions and delay tactics of the ego, smoke and mirrors… meaningless in truth, but tragic in time. Now being the only approximation of eternity available to us in this world; now is where the choice to accept the miracle must take place. Now is where vision becomes available…
As this decision unfolds, so does the miracle clarify Correction/Atonement, and we see by our experience of our self in our brother, how the miracle works…
I love how it’s put in the very initiation into the Course, the section called The Meaning of Miracles, #13 and 15: “Miracles are both beginnings and endings, and so they alter the temporal order. They are always affirmations of rebirth, which seem to go back but really go forward. They undo the past in the present, and thus release the future…. Each day should be devoted to miracles. The purpose of time is to enable you to learn how to use time constructively. It is thus a teaching devise and a means to an end. Time will cease when it is no longer useful in facilitating learning…”
All my beliefs are built-in teaching props for the Holy Spirit within my mind as a barometer of my status in relationship to God… (Under His teaching every relationship becomes a lesson in Love. T. 291) therefore…God is in everything I see…
Above all else I want to see, I want to see differently ~different from a world of apparent differences…Above all else I want to see the same eternal inheritance, everywhere, in everyone, and in everything. For if not, I am attacking the Whole of Life, which is invulnerable by its very nature in God, so I only attach my self and my faith in Love’s presence.
My attack thoughts are attacking my invulnerability…It is meaningless and futile waste of perfectly good innocence! It is, once again, just a distraction device to ‘real-ize’ my ego and an attempt to delay the return of sanity and the peace of God… which is, incidentally, the only thing I really want… the truth.
The choice to see is ours … will well continue the dance of distraction and delay, or to quote from that great guru THE MATRIX: “You’ve been down that road, Neo [O N E ], and you know where it leads…”
Or shall we, together, finding ourselves at ‘The Branching of the Road’ that the course talks about in chapter 22 of the text. Please go read it and enjoy this warm invitation to take the ‘red pill’:
In joyous gratitude I acknowledge my indebtedness to you, my brother, my One Self and our inheritance in God ~all Glory to God, forever and ever ~ amen
