God is but Love, and therefore so am I…
Let not my mind deny the thought of God…
God is but Love, and therefore so am I…
I am entrusted with the gifts of God…
God is but Love, and therefore so am I…
As I was meditating with today’s lesson, the section at the beginning of chapter 11 called ‘God Or The Ego’ comes to mind. This entire section of the text is perfect for review and study in conjunction with the lesson for today. I refer you to T-11.in.1; T-11.I.3-10 for review with today's lesson
~L O V E is what I am.
Therefore, love is the answer; love is also meaning for each seeming happening in my life in time, which has denied the truth.
If love is the answer, what is the question?
The ego thought system imposed the first question, “what am I?” Then bombarded the mind with a myriad of ‘special answers’ designed to distract the mind … This must be the hypnotic mantra that lulls the mind of the perfectly complete, into a dream of fragmented mazes and puzzles. The flipside of the ‘what am I’ coin however, is the fear of finding out…
Honestly, how could one not know oneself?
What a racket; what a freakin’ trap the ego has set! The ego convinces us that we have to hide ourselves from ‘The Rath’ for the guilty~ as if we were guilty! And we bought it. So we go blindly about protecting our lie-self from our Self...
The Self alone knows Love to be itself in God.
Where did the seductive ego-lure originate?
With the idea that one could make a life apart from God, which could only represent what God and all creation is not. ~Death~
Since God is all life… It seems ludicrous when you look at it honestly. But like the Course says, the ego never looks at anything honestly.
The Course also reminds us though, that the belief that there is another way of perceiving is the loftiest idea of which ego thinking is capable and that is because it contains a hint of recognition that the ego is not the Self…
This is why it is so crucial to question the validity of what we believe; question every value that we hold within the dream…and chose once again…
Beneath the covers of the false identity, which the ego dream has pulled over the mind, sits the quiet knowing of the truth. Inevitably, the dissatisfaction with the dream of ‘being the boss of a world in which you’re the victim of it, begins to ruffle the bed-covers, and we just have to take a peek into the light…
Deep in the center of the mind, rests the Holy Spirit, unmoved by the false, awaiting but our slightest invitation to realize the truth of what we are and who our Father is.
Each aspect of the dream, He has already given a new interpretation, which awakens and unites. Every shade and color; all persons and situations are seen as elements of healing the split-mind and re-member-ing the One Son of one God, the Father…
This ability for full remembrance and awakening is always already within us awaiting change of mind… We are, after all, the dreamer of the dream of ‘not remembering who we are’.
Let us not deny the mind of God…
We deny instead, the denial of God, and accept the Atonement for ourselves… This allows us to recognize…
We are entrusted with the gifts of God…
And now we give as we were meant to give; through extending the love that we are.
The happy dreams forgiveness render reflect our joyous, one purpose; bring to present-mind, the love of God, which is our one self…
I love you.
