Simply Do This

In times of uncertainty, this is what helps me the most:

Simply do this: Be still, and lay aside all thoughts of what you are and what God is; all concepts you have learned about the world; all images you hold about yourself. Empty your mind of everything it thinks is either true or false, or good or bad, of every thought it judges worthy, and all the ideas of which it is ashamed. Hold onto nothing. Do not bring with you one thought the past has taught, nor one belief you ever learned before from anything. Forget this world, forget this course, and come with wholly empty hands unto your God.

Can you do it? Can you lay aside all false ideas about yourself and the world? Can you relinquish all ideas of lack, of littleness? Can you have faith in One Who Knows you and knows you perfectly?

This is the great challenge of our time. Will you go on denying that there is a God who loves you totally? Will you put your faith in the temporal? Or in the eternal?

Time is a sleight of hand. It isn't even real. You are making up time to prolong your inevitable demise. You cannot die. You are not a body. All fear stems from this one idea: that you can annihilate yourself. And it's simply not true.

You are an eternal loving being created by an all loving God. He would never allow you to suffer pain, sickness or death. Love knows not of fear or death. He does not know of what you have made of yourself. You are perfect and whole as God created you. You could not alter yourself.

You are asleep in a dream, that is all. It is time to awaken and be free.

I have been challenged to my core. I have experienced deep losses. So have you. There is no difference, except perhaps I am totally aware that I am dreaming. And in this dream, the only thing I need do is let go. Forgive and be forgiven. Yet, I don't even know how to do that. The only thing required of me is a little willingness. This willingness is even provided me by the Holy Spirit. I have to sit still, stop the worrying, stop the incessant need to know what is happening to me. I don't know. I just know there is a God of love that I can trust totally with all my being.

I must let go absolutely. Until then, I am nothing. I am afraid, selfish, self-seeking and dishonest. The real program of healing the mind that is the Course in Miracles in application, is the 12 Step Program. This program has helped me immeasurably with my awakening. It brought me to my KNEES. Where I truly belong, of course.

I begin each day there and I know that making that decision to turn my will and my life over to the care of God, is everything. I can do nothing of myself. But I can let go and let God. This is so important and has gotten me through the deepest, darkest moments of my journey. I know there is a God because I have put my total trust in Him to heal me of my dream of separation from Him.

Do I have doubts at times? You bet. Do I know what to do when I have them? Yes. Get on my knees and ask to be shown. I don't have to know what to do about tomorrow. I just have to know about right now. This is critical. Because all my fear has to do with the future. I don't know how I will pay my bills, I don't know if I should sell my house. I don't know if I should go back to school, find a new job...you fill in the blank. You see? Ask for help and it will be given in the moment you are most afraid. Especially when you think you need a solution to a problem right now.

If I am patient, I can trust that everything will be shown to me. I have to get really quiet, stop my questioning, let myself not know everything for a moment. In the now, I am totally uncertain, and in the uncertainty, I am free to let God direct me. I am safe because I am trusting in my higher power to direct me in all things. This is how it works. I feel like a little kid, who knows that my parent is with me and is taking perfect care of me. Even when I am afraid.

This is a miraculous occurrence. It doesn't really have anything to do with my ideas or my thoughts about myself. It has only to do with release. It has only to do with loving myself, my enemy. Serving my brother. Taking care of myself in the moment. Being good to myself. All fear is attack. It is an attack upon myself. I can stop attacking myself, surely, if I so choose.

I am sure about my purpose here, which is to wake up and be healed and let God be God. Then and only then can I be of service to those who still suffer. Working my 12th Step has shown me that I am not the center of the universe. That you are. You, a representative of God, are my savior and helper. I can rely on God, I can rely on your help and I can know that you are not separate from me. I know you are me.

If I harbor hateful thoughts about anyone, anyone at all, I am in so much pain, I cannot stand it. Love is the answer and forgiveness is the key. But how to forgive when it seems like someone has wronged you? Here it is: It's you. You have that thought, you have made it up. You are responsible for the cleanup. So, be about it. Let go your thoughts about the other guy. Has God changed His Mind about him, or about you? Get on your KNEES.

Ask yourself this. Who walks with me? Who is my guide, my protector, my friend?
Communicate with this mind. You are being led on this journey out of time, out of space...to a place of perfect peace. And it is not in the future. It is right NOW.

In all the years I have been on this path, I have always found that my own ideas are the problem. It is where I hold onto the idea of trying to be safe here, in a world of death. But safety comes from knowing WHO I AM.

When its really dark, I get on my KNEES. Ask to be shown. Everything I need to know is revealed. It is a miracle. In spite of your misgivings, your doubts, your fears, you are healed.

Love is letting go of fear. And anger, doubt, faithlessness, is all part of fear. It is not different. That is why I love the 12 Steps. It forces me to look at my fear. To reveal the darkest thoughts I hold onto to myself. Then in the relinquishment of my ideas about myself, I miraculously healed. If I don't look at these fears, these ideas of pain, I am still protecting them, so I still want them.

I don't like being in pain. I don't like feeling that I am all alone here. I am sick and tired of it. So, I do it. I get on my knees and ask for help.

But if I look straight at these fears, they are released, and I am undone. Doors open up. I find myself in a new place. It feels unfamiliar, but it is totally happy and joyful. Peace is joy. You are happy for no reason at all. It is natural to you.

Be free to be yourself. Open up. Let go all your ideas. All your fears of future dread. Just open up to let God in. He is real. He is your protector in all circumstances.

I love you and hope this helps.

Blessings!

The Current Economic Crisis

In time and space there is always some kind of crisis going on. Have you ever noticed? There is always something in this limited reference that reminds me that I am in hell. If this is your reality, it IS hell. It is ruled by fear. And if you are like me, you cannot escape your reactions to it. My reactions are first hand. I was recently working for a major corporation and my department, although it was very successful and productive, was terminated suddenly.

My first response was disbelief, then laughter and shock and all those emotions you just can't imagine unless it is happening to you. I really didn't expect this and whammo! I was unemployed.

So, it isn't fun to have to go through all these emotions. But, it is how I awaken from the dream. I don't have any control over what is happening here. I am constantly being shown this. I really don't know what to do about it either. I have to live honestly and openly. My reactions are just like everyone else's: rage, fear, disbelief, distrust, helplessness, and finally all I can do is let go.

I have had many moments of loss in my life. I lost custody of my children, I have been through two divorces. And now, I realize that there is nothing that I can count on in this world. The only thing I know that is true is Jesus and his teaching of love and forgiveness.

I have to forgive myself this entire dream of death. I have to or I am lost. Losing something is like a death and you just have to go right through the blackness of it to be free. You cannot change it, you can only embrace the experience and know that it is a really important lesson. It is teaching me what is real and what is false.

Any idea of security or safety is not to be found in this world. Of course not, it is a world where everything dies. So, what security could there be here? I know you may entertain this as a possibility, that this is life. But it isn't. Life doesn't end. Life is eternal, therefore, this is not life. It's real simple.

So what is life? Where can you find it? The Kingdom is within you. There is a place of total safety and security. It is not of this world and you have to look within to find it. It requires that you begin your awakening.

Do the lessons of A Course in Miracles. Really apply them to your life. For me, it was the way out of hell. I don't know how anyone else gets through experiences like this, I only know how I do.

This experience is a blessing. I may not know this when I'm afraid, but I do know that this is not a real place and I can depart by letting go of my thoughts about it. This is not my reality. My thoughts create this world. I can release my thoughts and I am free. This is the only way out.

Blessings!

All Time is Going On NOW

It is an amazing idea that time is not sequential and all time is going on all the time. Think about it. Didn't it take you years to learn to tell time? Didn't you find it difficult to imagine time going in one direction? Wasn't it strange that people kept asking "what time is it?" As a child, you had no concept of time. NOW was the only time. You had to be conditioned to learn ideas about time.

You are learning that to get back to that childlike innocence, you have to let go of the idea of sequential time. You read books like "The Power of Now" and you feel something within you get excited. You have a chance at a real experience beyond time. Beyond your tiny little existence on this planet in a body. You have a shot at a new beginning, an awakening to what is real.

If you can entertain the idea that all time is going on right now, all time lines you can imagine are happening simultaneously, you are beginning to feel the reality of life being beyond memory. Your constructs of this tiny existence are all based upon your coming here, being a body, becoming totally conditioned by human ideas, and then finally terminating yourself. If that still seems reasonable to you, great. But to me it made no sense.

I could not imagine why I would have to die if God is Love, if Love is eternal and I am what Love is. God creates eternally, right? God doesn't die...so how can I die? I am created in His image! I am not a body. I am free.

My mind is all powerful, because it is the Mind of God. It isn't limited at all by my insane ideas of being a body on planet earth. It is infinite and beautiful. I am as God created me. I am perfect and whole. Everything He creates is perfect. My only function is to accept this and I am free. And I free you along with me because you are an idea. I think about you, and I get ecstatic knowing I am no different from you. I am whole, and therefore every thought I have is whole.

I cannot separate myself from my thoughts. They are in my Mind. My mind is all powerful, it is totally creative. The only problem I ever have is I forgot this was true. I thought I could make up ideas and they would be true. But I couldn't establish truth. Truth is already true. Death, or termination is not true. I couldn't make it true. It is a big lie. Just like time. Time has no end, therefore, there is no time.

Eternal life is eternal. You cannot die. You cannot exist as a body in time. It is totally impossible. But the problem you have is that you think you are a body and you have to exist separate from everyone and everything. Until what? Until you die.

Not true. You are making this up to keep yourself from the eternal love of God and your reality. It is time to stop this silly insane game you are playing with yourself. Wake up to reality, love is real! It is eternal and therefore, so are you! How do I know this?

I was taken out and given a new reference. I experienced myself as a whole, loving being of light and love. And I came back in to share it with you. I cannot be this body in time and space. It is impossible.

My mind is free, because I cannot go back into a world of separation knowing what I know. It is not possible. So, I have no choice but to experience love and extend that love continually. A continuity of eternal love. My mind extends naturally into consciousness. Actually, my mind is what the consciousness is. It is all inclusive. So, my reality is your reality. And you cannot continue to deny it much longer. We are One.

When things around you seem to be getting darker and you can't make sense of your existence, this is a very good sign. It is the beginning of your awakening. You are beginning to question the idea of your existence on planet earth. You are beginning to question how life can end. How could God, who is all powerful could possibly create a world of pain, sickness and death?

Good. It is a very good sign. Your time is up. You are beginning to have a dramatic shift in your perception of everyone and everything. And You will discover that you are eternal. It is inevitable. Your life is totally meaningful once you awaken. Until then, it is totally meaningless. Your mind determines what is meaningful to you. But you cannot establish meaning, really. God is meaning, He has already established it. And you are a whole part of His mind.

I love you.

Blessings!

Love to Give

My only function here is to be happy. Is that difficult? At times, yes! I cannot be happy if you are not. I have to extend my light, my joy into your mind, because you are me!

I have been in the healing arts for a long time and have trained my mind and have been miraculously healed of every disease, including depression and anxiety. I only know that I asked for help all along the way and the answers kept coming in. All forms of lack, littleness and fear are being removed from my mind. I came to offer this healing light energy to the world. I don’t have any other function.

I love A Course in Miracles. It is what healed me entirely of my dream of death. I know that I am eternal and therefore so are you. I cannot continue to pretend that this is not true. Human minds are really pathetic in that they always misuse their mind. It is time to really become aware that surrender is the key. A relinquishment of my ideas is how I give myself to the totality of the experience of oneness, of love, of divinity.

Thank God there is a loving God who knows not of death, sickness, suffering or fear. He knows not of it. He has already healed your mind of this idea. Your job is just to accept it. Can you accept that you are perfect, whole and complete...a perfect reflection of His Love?

Wayne Dyer has been teaching this on PBS recently and I am always amazed at the simplicity of the message. I love the fact that only truth is true. Now seems to be the beginning of a shift for the planet. It is time. I love knowing that the message of divine love is the one thing the human consciousness must finally embrace. It is the Answer to all the conceivable problems of human existence.

My suffering and depression led me to A Course in Miracles. It is really amazing how it occurred. It is a simple story. Basically, Jesus woke me up out of my dream of death, fear and anxiety. I had had enough pain. I asked for help and I was given A Course in Miracles. This is demonstrated beautifully in the movie: A Course in Miracles Unleashed. If you have a chance, watch it.

Love came and got me and showed me that all this was an illusion and that I didn’t belong in an illusion. It was dramatic and ecstatic and I left this world. This is really only one experience of a continuing reunion I have with God and all my brothers. I connect into the ONE MIND all the time. I feel more and more in love every moment. I cannot believe this has happened and I am so grateful.

I can only give of myself right now totally and feel this love flowing through me. Can you feel it? I am here. There are many awakened brothers on the planet now bringing in a lot of light. I hope you find your connection to this light and write to me. I am so grateful that you have found this light and are learning that it is all you want. IT IS EVERYTHING.

Jesus led me into this light along with the Master Teacher and many awakened minds who are with me. Let me know if you need any help. I can only give, because God only gives. Giving is the only way to experience abundance, pure, full abundant love that is what you are. Give, give and give more than you feel comfortable giving. It is the key to happiness.

You can only give to yourself, there is only ONE MIND… so give totally and you will know who you are. Keep giving to everyone and everything. Don’t worry about the future, or how you will survive. You will be given all the support you need if you only give. You will discover yourself and your loved ones all around you are only waiting for you to give yourself to them!

What have you got to lose? You cannot lose if you always give. You receive as you give. You are ONE MIND. There is no loss because God is love and you are that love. I know it seems simple. IT IS! Because God is total simplicity. There are no complications in love. You complicate it. You put demands on it. Just let it be what it is and you will be free. Just be yourself and give and you will know who you are.

Love and blessings!

The End of Sacrifice

The Course claims that Christmas is the end of sacrifice. Isn't that amazing? The idea of sacrifice is such in innate part of the ego's curriculum, that it is hard to imagine it isn't real. I grew up Catholic, and the ideas of sacrifice were such a huge part of this religion, that I have spent years looking at these ideas and surrendering them to the Holy Spirit. Is it really possible to live and not to feel that sacrifice is asked of me?

Sacrifice comes from an idea that you are not whole and that you have to give up something to be whole. Isn't it strange, that an all loving, all-encompassing, omniscient, complete and divine God has to ask something of you? Why? Isn't He complete? Then He doesn't need me to do anything at all. So then the question arises, so if God is complete and whole, what am I?

I must be part of Him. If He created me, I must be in His Mind. If so, then there is no separation from Him at all. There never was, I was just making it all up.

The fundamental teaching is very simple. God is real. God is Love. God extended His Mind and had a beautiful, whole, complete and glorious idea...and that was you.

You forgot for a moment and thought you had usurped the power of God and made up a small, tiny you that inhabits a physical form and feels trapped in it. This is the ultimate sacrifice... you already did it to yourself.

So, this Christmas think about that a while. The only thing God wants of you is that you become yourself again. That you experience yourself as His loving Son who knows no fear, no anxiety, no cares, no worries and are completely safe. God loves you and knows you perfectly well. There is no need for concern about anyone or anything. You are in the Heaven where His love resides. Heaven is all around you and you are IT.

This is a wake up call. It is time to awaken to the truth about you. You did not really do anything at all in your dream of separation from God. You only thought you did. Now it is time to accept that fact.

God is real. You are a real thought in His Mind. Your little life on earth is not your reality. You are simply dreaming of exile and it is time to come on home. Wake up to reality.

Come fly with me! Life is not existence on planet earth where you suffer and die. That is you in sacrifice and this Christmas, let's celebrate the end of that silly idea.

OK?

I love you! Merry Christmas!

Coming Into the Light

Everywhere I look I read about the idea that there is only One Mind. This idea stems from the fact of singularity, or One Creator. I love it. I don't know if this means anything to a human, split mind, but when you accept total responsibility for every thought you think, every experience you have, suddenly it begins to dawn on you that you are all there is. Your perspective from objectivity is that there are separate bodies, separate people in the world all acting separately. Until you accept that you are the one projecting all this imagery out from the visual cortex of the back of your brain, you do believe you are seeing multiple people and places.

To find that you are the dreamer, you alone are dreaming this world and all your experiences are the result of your dreaming a separate dream, is a big shock. It rarely happens without some sort of breakdown or realization or disaster within your life that brings you into the admission that you have no idea what is going on.

Your attempts at solving the problem of separation finally bring you into an awareness that life in this state is totally chaotic, because you actually have no control over the dream and what the figures in your dream do. They are all self-contained, as are you. Loss, death, illness, pain all enter into it and seem to be your reality.

For me, I finally saw that even with all my losses and successes as a self-identity on planet earth, I was still separate! This idea was excruciating to me. I begged for help. I asked my savior to please help me! And the immediate response was loud and clear. "Follow instructions." I listened, I got really quiet and I began to hear chanting in my mind so loud and clear it was unmistakable. I went to an Ashram for 11 days and released so much pain, guilt and loss, that I was finally released.

After that, my experiences deepened. My life changed dramatically. I was given a video of the Master Teacher a month or two later. I felt him take me into a state of mind that was completely not here. I found myself in a lot of light energy and my body seemed to be unable to resist any of it. I was taken out of this realm entirely for a long period of time.

This single experience showed me that all that all my petty ideas of what thought I was were completely wrong, and that my life indeed did have a purpose. I am here to bring in lots of light and heal and forgive. I am, indeed the light of the world.

Jesus has always been with me since I was a little child. I had no fear of him and felt as a child that he helped me a lot. Light experiences used to infuse me with his love and I felt so happy just being alone and quiet in my room.

So, as an adult, my whole purpose has been to follow in his direction, to be led into a new realm, into the light that is our reality. This is now all I want and whenever I feel disheartened or confused, I remember that the light is the healing agency. And I am that light. You are that light.

You can erase all memories of pain, loss, conflict and death. These are simply stories you have made up and have been living over and over again.

This premise is essential: you must accept that you are totally responsible for your dream...all of it. That way, you can truly find out that your purpose here is not of you, it comes from out of time, if you will. And your job is to simply accept this role, this responsibility. It really doesn't matter if you believe it or not. You don't have to, you simply are asked to apply the lessons. Apply healing love and forgiveness to every situation in which you find yourself. That way, you will soon discover that you are the light of the world.

I have been reading a book called Zero Limits by Joe Vitale and Ihaleakala Hew Len. This is all about accepting total responsibility for everything you see or think. It is about healing the memories, cleaning or clearing them from your subconscious. I love it. I have been applying this to my life for 20 years now by way of the Workbook of A Course in Miracles. I love that this message is coming into fruition in lots of ways now and people are realizing how powerful it is.

The loveliness of this book and its message is really needed right now. I wonder if Dr. Hew Len has heard of A Course in Miracles, but it doesn't really matter. All I know is that as I apply the simple process he prescribes in this book: I love you, I'm sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you!.

Do this and all your frustration and problems, which are just memories of loss, or lack, can be released instantly. You begin to feel that the source of you is Divine Love. There is nothing to fear because You are everything! You are the light of the world! You are healed and you can heal. This is the way out of the dream in its entirety.

It is such a simple message and application of the Course: I keep this on my desk at work: Ceeport. Clear, erase, erase, return to port. Port is zero point. Divine Love, in other words. I am currently selling vacation packages to people to give them a new experience of their lives where they actually get away and have some fun and take a break from their lives of working all the time. Amazing, 30% of Americans don't even take vacations. My sales started going up now that I am applying this. I constantly say to people, I love you, forgive me, I'm sorry, Thank you! Not out loud, but silently before I call them and after they hang up. I never get frustrated now when they don't buy, I just bless them. I feel great because I am just reminding myself of who I am. I am singular. There is nothing outside of me!

I only want to extend divine love to everyone and everything. It is the only thing worth valuing. Money, success, kids, all of it is great, but really, I just want to be free from the constraints of a physical existence on planet earth. I don't want anything from anyone, I just want to extend, to give, to let everyone know there is a God of love and you can just take a chance on LOVE. Not only that, but it is my only function here. I am here to be that light and to give and let go of my own silly ideas of death. Because, truly if you are as God created you, you cannot die.

No, you can't. Don't think you can, because you can't. My mother seemingly died three years ago, and I have been in more communication with her now than when she was in her body. I feel her around me and I talk to her all the time. This is real. We are not bodies!

The Master Teacher released his body in May of this year, and I feel him closer than ever before. Now, it is totally up to me to stay in communication with him and with Jesus and stay on track. I have to. This is my goal, my purpose and my life. Divine love is eternal and cannot die. That is a fact. You are coming into the light of realization that this is an illusion of death. You cannot die. The light of God's love shows up and dissolves your petty ideas of separation. It cannot not.

So, I really hope this helps. I just want you to know I love you and let me know how I can help!

Blessings,

Monica

How Simple the Solution

Well, I was reading this morning in The Master Teacher's talk called History is Only You, and it states here "The most valuable single thing that you can ever come to know in your awakening process is that you are causing what is occurring outside you..not a little bit of it, but all of it.

...You actually think that things that are occurring outside of you are beyond your own control. If that is true, there is indeed no God, and there could never be.

You have forgotten that you are dreaming this and it has absolutely no reality. And that's difficult for you to look at. So what do you do? You hold inside of you all of these incredible notions and emotions and manifestations of illusions and consciousnesses and hates and loves and fears and guilt. And you tie it all up down inside of you because literally that is what your constitution is: limited selfness. Who is the anti-Christ? Who but you? You , standing separate from the totality of your absolute truthfulness in consciousness."

Wow. So, that's a very fundamental idea. That you are the cause of the entire problem. And you are therefore, also the solution. But you have to have the experience of this, not just entertain the ideas and think about them as an intellectual exercise of some sort.

Ego mind is you. You as the cause of all the suffering and pain and death on the earth. You must surrender this now. Because it is only getting worse. You must undergo your black hole experience. Know that you cannot possibly find the solution outside of you, because you are causing all the problems of the world. No one will listen to you, no one wants to know that they are the cause, yet, until you accept it, you are just a victim. You are actually nothing.

You really think that you can communicate with human beings. Everyone is in his own bubble of associated thoughts about himself. You cannot know what to say to him. He is a projected image of your own mind. Can you stand it? Can you work out this problem and solve it yourself? Go ahead and try.

I promise you this is a dream and you are the dreamer. It is time to wake up to the simple fact that all your fears, all your death ideas are in you alone. No one else is causing you to think this way.

I was worrying the other day about money and a voice said to me, "Stop this now. You are misusing your mind." It was a very important thing. Because I do worry out of habit. I think I have a problem, and boom...there I go worrying again. But the worry is intolerable. Finally, I hate it. I cannot stand to be fearful. It feels horrible. I am totally denying God when I am in fear. There is no God when I am afraid. I have just denied him and denied my own reality in that moment. Fear is insidious, but I have to stop giving into fear thoughts. My mind is all powerful, whatever I think extends. So, if I give up fear, immediately, I find myself happy again.

The voice was reminding me that I have already awakened. I don't have to worry about anything any more. I will be told exactly what to do and when, what to say to someone, what to do in every circumstance.

I just love being free to think a different way. To let go of fear, and come into the certainty that I am as God created me. I am not a body. I am free. I do not have to be in this world at all.

I teleport all the time. My mind is free and I have no limits.

If this happened to me it is happening to you. Because you are a thought in my mind. Jesus resurrected and solved the whole thing for us. My resurrrection is yours. Just accept it and you will find yourself happy beyond belief.

Happiness is your natural state of mind. You do not have to worry about anything ever! You are not limited to this body, to this physical idea of you as a separate thing. You are MIND. And MIND is total, whole and unlimited.

God is the Mind with which I think.

Be happy and free and know you are perfect as God created you!

Love and blessings!
Monica

My Attack Thoughts

This is from Workbook Lesson 26, one of my favorites: "The idea for today introduces the thought that you always attack yourself first. If attack thoughts must entail the belief that you are vulnerable, their effect is to weaken you in your own eyes. Thus they have attacked your perception of yourself. And because you believe in them, you can no longer believe in yourself. A false image of yourself has come to take the place of what you are."

If you accepted this idea, that you always attack yourself first, and this results in your misperception of yourself, and therefore, of everyone and everything...you would simply choose to stop. Why weaken yourself? Don't you want to be free? Unlimited, fearless and happy?

In other words, whenever you experience conflictual thoughts in your mind, thoughts of judgment, fear, anger, doubt, envy, lack, worry, anxiety...you name it...you feel the pain of these thoughts immediately. All these thoughts are manufactured by you and you have done this to your beautiful self. Can you stop?

The answer is YES! But you must become wholly aware that your attack thoughts are not coming from outside of your mind. When you accept singularity, or the idea that you are totally responsible for your thoughts, you will become more aware and more willing to release these conflictual thoughts.

Here's more from this very important lesson: "Practice with today's idea will help you to understand that vulnerability or invulnerability is the result of your own thoughts. Nothing except your thoughts can hurt you."

Wow, that's a statement. Because you always think that someone else is doing it to you...I know you do, because I did, and I had to get really sick and tired of my attack thoughts. The idea that I can be attacked is the most ridiculous thought of all. I am the Holy Son of God Himself. So, nothing can really affect me, except my own thoughts about myself. If I am judging, I am judged. If I am afraid, I feel that fear within me. This is a dream of fear, and all the effects of fear are actually gone. But, I maintain them in my mind if I choose. So, I can simply choose to let them go.

This does take practice, however. So, I have to stop attacking myself with my thoughts. And let God be God and release me from this dream of attack. The lesson continues..."I am concerned about _____________. I am afraid __________ will happen."

Then you have to fill in these blanks by searching your mind. You will be amazed at how many fear thoughts are in your mind. The release comes when you apply this statement to them:

"That thought is an attack upon myself."

Wow. That's it. But do it. And do it all day long, whenever you are not wholly joyous and at peace.

Be very specific with this and write it out if you want to. It is always good to see what you are thinking on paper.

Fear is very devious and it is in the background of your mind most of the time. So, this lesson is really helpful in uncovering those specific thoughts and releasing these attacks upon yourself.

OK? Let me know how this goes for you.

Love and blessings,

Monica

Letter From Greece

MY MIND'S TRAFFIC JAM
Sep 16, 12:01PM


Hello Monica,

The reason you haven't heard from me for so long, is not that I do not have any questions any more or that I don't need help.

It's because whenever a question pops up into my mind, the answer comes with it, as well. I also know that all the help I need is within me..

I know that God goes with me wherever I go, and I am never left alone..

But there still is one thing that has not improved with my mind...this traffic jam of thoughts!! I mean during my practice periods,

This "In quiet I receive God's Word", I have not experienced yet! I keep asking the angels to guard my mind, I visualize them as traffic policemen sending the uninvited thoughts out, but the traffic jam keeps holding on....

The other thing I do is to repeat the day's lesson like a mantra, in order to at least substitute the other thoughts with this.. But is this what I am asked to do?

Anyway, I forgive myself and go on...I am sure that there must be other people like me.

If you think that it will be helpful, you can post my message and your answer in your blog.

Blessings from Greece,

Christina


Here's my response:
Dear Christina:

This is not a practice of mantra where you just repeat an idea over and over again and never let it actually mean anything to you. It is better to follow the exact instructions in the lesson itself. Jesus, the author of the Course, knows how undisciplined your mind is. So each lesson has a specific instruction within it. Yes, you apply it all day long to the situations in which you find yourself. However, don't let it be simply a repetition. It has to be an activation. You must actively start denying the fear within your mind. Your mind has all power, this is a way to start to think entirely differently. It is a mind training. It is an experience of the release of your fear. It is a release of your self-identity.

I would suggest to all Course in Miracles students to get copies of the Master Teacher's videos. He will provide the light reference you will need in order to get out of the habitual fearful mindset that you have been in for a very long time. It doesn't take a long time to practice and apply these lessons. But you need the help of an awakened Master to reach full enlightenment. This means that you will discover yourself. You will feel totally different. All your meaningless petty worries will disappear and you will find yourself in a lot of light!

This is what happened to me after just one video. I felt my whole being leave this time/space reference and I was totally free. Then after several hours, I came back in and felt totally changed. This was a real experience, something I couldn't figure out or try to work on. It happened to me because I was completely open to it. I wanted a way out. I was asking for it and so it was given me. It wasn't fearful at all, but I didn't resist it. I was sure I wanted to know who I really am.

So, contact the link I have listed on the right side panel that says For Materials and More to get the videos, or you can also watch them online at endeavoracademy.com.

OK? Let me know how it's going and thank you for the letter, Christina!

Love,
Monica

Illuminate Minds Unite!

I am constantly faced with opinions. Opinions of what is going on here,ideas that make no real sense. Actually, all your opinions are just ideas of preferences and things you like as opposed to things you don't like. Comparisons, really.

All comparison is simply a game you play with perception. You are the perceiver, the one doing the seeing of the things apparently outside you. Yet, you are not accepting total responsibility for the seeing. If you were, you would choose only to release it in every moment. You would not hang onto your own perception for a second, because you would realize it cannot but be false. You would see that all perception is what the falsity is and you, the one doing it then, must be false. You as a separate entity, are false. Period.

Wow. So, then all my ideas about myself, all my associated ideas, which is what karma is, are false. So I don't have to give them any meaning any more. Just release them. Let go of the ideas I made up. Lesson 132, I loose the world from all I thought it was, reveals the idea that your beliefs make up the world you see. You can be free of them, by simply deciding you don't like what you've made up. You don't want it any more. And you would be in Heaven instantly.

Is it that simple? Truth is true and nothing else is true. That is simple. Love is simple because it is simply Itself. I really love the idea that I have nothing to say about truth. That truth doesn't need my opinion to be true. In fact, my opinion is meaningless, because only my acceptance of truth is required.

I need do nothing. I need only accept that fact that I am whole and perfect as God created me.

I cannot do this without help because apparently I put myself asleep by having one crazy idea that I could be separate from God. All doubt is doubt about myself. yet what I am doubting is that God is love and that I am what love is because I am an idea in His Mind. All ideas of lack are ideas that I am separate from God. None of which is true.

I am whole and perfect as God created me. Does the world want to know this? I made up the world to protect my denial of the truth. I wanted to deny it, and I did. Then, by experiencing the intense pain of this denial, I really got tired of the game I was playing with myself. I wanted desperately to know what was true, what was really going on and how to get out of this mess. Actually, I don't know anything about anyone else. There really isn't a world outside my mind. So I don't need to be concerned with it. Yet, I do want to extend the light of my mind so that anyone looking for the answer will find it.

I want to be happy, but I can't be happy till I make you happy too! Its a great song. I love you. I love my brother for helping me all along the way, for being my savior. For the Master Teacher, for every brother who cried out for help. And received the help that was given.

The documentary, "A Course in Miracles Unleashed" shows that everyone who sincerely wants out of the darkness, will find their way. We all got tired of being miserable and in pain, we all asked for help, we all received the Course, and we all left! Wow. So, now I am in an experience of leaving constantly. I come into time and space for a brief moment to convert the darkness to light and then leave. That is all I am doing here. I am so grateful that this is now only that. There is really nothing outside me that I need to be concerned about.

A converter is someone who has accepted Atonement for himself. Simple and true. Thank you for your dedication to the light and love of your true Self. You are what love is. You are what peace is. Peace comes into your mind when you have given up the idea of conflict. Forever.

Thank you, and I really hope this helps you in your transformation from a separate little self to the glorious reflection of love that you are. You are an idea in the Mind of God. Wow! Have a great day!

Love,
Monica

What is Karma?

What is karma? Your associate thoughts about yourself in time. I was reading in the Master Teacher's book, How Simple the Solution, and I loved this idea. How is your karma undone? Listen.

"Where are you in the gathering of your own associate thoughts, karma is the Eastern term, with the capacity to see the Christ who is obviously all about you? Am I, in that sense, a representation of that? Yes! Since perceptutal mind is representational, you are using me as a representation of what you think the possibility of a Christ might be. And that's okay. You will discover if you are with me, that my absolute justice and honesty consist of constancy. All the consciousnesses who have come to me in love have discovered the hard work and difficulty of dealing with a constant mind. I said this to you yesterday, that while I appear not to discipline, nothing could ever be more disciplined or difficult or simple, finally, than the no-alternative presentation that emanates from light to darkness...okay?

I think there is an idea that people who seek illumination or samadhi or enlightenment, that as that progresses on the path, they become more blissful and more happy. Those of you who have entertained that idea have come to discover that the process of enlightenment involves facing, each moment, the conflict between time and eternity. That's the Workbook of the Course, that's what we teach."

Well, that explains why the process of illumination is work. It takes great discipline, great constancy and devotion to the work. I have recently decided to do Hatha Yoga each morning, and this practice has become a really important part of my awakening right now. I am in a dedication. I feel myself challenged by it and I love it. That is what I live for...meeting the challenge of the awakening of my mind. It isn't easy. It's work! But it's work that pays off instantly! Ifeel myself changing, my cells vibrating with light after each session and all day long. I feel good!

I find myself able to do more than I could have imagined. I can actually do all those postures! I never thought I would be able to. Just as with the mind training, I never thought I would be totally free from judgment...I just thought it would take lifetimes. But, not so. I proved it to myself that this Workbook really does work. All you have to do is do it. Apply it and you literally change yourself entirely and everything around you is affected. It works, if you work it.

So, as with all spiritual or material endeavors, if you set the goal, you will reach it. Why? Because you have all power. It doesn't always get easier...there are times when it is really difficult. That is how you know you are doing it, you are in the process of learning the release mechanism. Use it! Become defenseless within your mind. Open up! Let in the light and let it free you. This has to become your way of relating to this world you made up. Once you have mastered yourself, have mastered your reaction to everything that comes your way...you are free.

This is your chosen path home. Be about it! I love you and want only to help speed you up in your process!

Love and blessings!

Monica

What Does it Mean to Be in the Now?

While reading The Power of Now, I keep asking myself, what is the ultimate goal of this book? I am always asking myself...what is it for? That is the question that I must ask myself lately. What is it for? If it meets the goal I have set for myself, it will serve my purpose, and help me in my spiritual healing and growth. But, if not, I simply don't have to do it.

That is exercising power of mind. My peace of mind is everything to me. I don't want conflict in my awareness any longer. But to truly have a consistent experience of peace, which is my goal, I have to be willing to look at the thoughts in my mind and let them go. Spiritual transformation does not mean that I will never have a conflictual thought, it just means I will have none that I would keep. I am in a transformation now. I don't want anxiety to rule my mind and I do want to be healed. My spiritual healing involves arriving in the NOW moment where I can feel the stillness underlying all action.

How did I get here? I had to apply the lessons of A Course in Miracles and I had help from the Master Teacher. I also needed all my brothers who are in this process with me. I left the earth at one point and saw my mind was free and that I was not a body. Then, when I came back, I realized there is still work to be done. I am in service to the spiritual transformation of my mind. Is this mind your mind? Yes! We are not separate, so my mind is a healing mind. So is yours. It has to be.

Prayer, stillness, mental peace is all a part of it. The great global awakening is occurring whether you are aware of it or not. All forms of personal development are healing the suffering and depression of the human mind. And there is a point you reach where you go beyond human mind thinking. You go beyond your personal reference. You go beyond the idea of death. This is where you become illuminate. You have no cares for yourself individually. You simply want to help. You are aware that you are dreaming and you are now free of the concerns for your body. But you are also aware that you are here to serve, to give, and to love.

It becomes an all inclusive thing. Spiritual life is singular, my life is your life. I know you perfectly well. The movie, A Course in Miracles Unleashed shows that the joining of the mind is everything. The inner transformation is inevitable and it really works. This powerful documentary shows that this great awakening is happening to people everywhere because it is time. It is time to let go of human suffering and pain and to let your ideas of death be released. It is time for the second coming. Which is simply you, coming home to your Self.

Every person on the movie stated virtually the same thing...I was in pain, I got sick and tired of the pain, I asked for help. I couldn't stand it any more. I got on my knees and I prayed. I let go of my ideas, a miracle occurred and I was freed of my problem. I was relieved of my suffering and I changed. Fundamentally changed. I resurrected and now I am free to live in the grace of God. I am free to be my SELF.

As an awakened mind, I see what is true and I am not fooled by appearances any more. I may not have money, or possessions and that is great. I welcome the change. It is now up to me to let go of the idea I need these things and stop clinging to them. I can let them go and be free to be myself no matter what appears to be happening to me.

Letting go of the physical attachment to these things isn't hard because, really, they are just IDEAS. Just ideas! The cells in my body are all light! I don't have to worry about whether I will have life insurance! I have total life assurance, because I AM LIFE ITSELF!

It is a quantum leap from egoic thinking, from bodily concerns to be illuminate and free. To know that no matter what, I actually already resurrected from this place of death. Jesus showed me the way and I left too. It is already over. Time is not sequential.

Mental peace is it. A certainty that in the NOW, I am myself. I am free of anxiety and pain. I am no longer afraid...of death, of my brother, or of anything! Lack is impossible. I am the fullness of creation!

I am happy knowing I am with God. So, I pray constantly because the mind is joined to the Creator and thinks the same thoughts. This is peace. This is inner peace. This is my goal. I don't even care how I got here. I just know it was a miracle.

What will it take for you to experience it? I don't know. It is beyond reading a book about someone else's experience. It is beyond reading a blog. You have to want it above all else. Do you want to be a part of this great awakening? It is exciting. It has never been done before. You are here to transform yourself back to your original state of mind...heaven, if you will. Peace, knowing who you are and who your brother is, is the goal.

Being in the now is only about happiness and freedom from concern. Your personal growth is more about undoing, rather than becoming something, enlightenment is but a recognition that you do not have the power to change what God created. Thank God! All your errors of thought made up your story of separation. But you could not make them real.

You are awakening from the dream. You are now coming out of death, suffering, and human ego thinking. You are now in a constant release of the fear that caused it. Thank you God. Peace is worth it. Knowing I live with God, with the energy of love in my mind always, even when I am distracted for a moment. I know that constant prayer works. Because it aligns me with the Creator, with God, my Father, who loves me.

I love you with all my heart. Let me know how I can help.

Oh, yeah. To view information about the movie, go to http://acourseinmiraclesunleashed.com/newsite/. See you there!

Love and blessings!

The Power of Now

This excerpt is from Eckhart Tolle in The Power of Now:

In the timeless realm, where God dwells, which is also your home, the beginning and the end, the Alpha and the Omega, are one, and the essence of everything that ever has been and ever will be is eternally present in an unmanifested state of oneness and perfection—totally beyond anything the human mind can ever imagine or comprehend. In our world of seemingly separate forms, however, timeless perfection is an inconceivable concept. Here even consciousness, which is the light emanating from the eternal Source, seems to be subject to a process of development, but this is due to our limited perception. It is not so in absolute terms.

I love the expressions that Eckhart Tolle uses in his book. I see it as a kind of primer for those who truly want to awaken and begin a process of transformation. It is totally useful in this regard, it is confrontational and informative and those who read it and practice it will surely benefit from it.

Yet, to really embark upon a transformation of the mind, your mind requires a mind training, because as Tolle aptly states, your problem is your mind. And because your mind is the problem, the solution has to come from a relinquishment of the ego mind. How does one do that? This is how. Just do as you are told...one lesson at a time.

As A Course in Miracles states, “an untrained mind can accomplish nothing”. As I undergo a process of transformation by a constant relinquishing of my ideas, my separate thoughts of suffering, pain and death, I am aware of just how much focus and attention my mind required in order to become free. It is no small thing.

The mind is very devious and will convince you that you do not need to train your mind, or do the 12 Steps or really apply the teaching to every thought you think.
Yet, I am not willing to remain a prisoner of my mind. I simply I want to be free above all else. I know how tricky your ego mind is, how it thinks along these lines yet all the while maintaining its separate ideas. How it entertains spiritual ideas, yet never really embraces and applies the true teachings.

I see it all the time. I see it in myself when I judge my brother. I see it in my fears that cause all my unhappiness that I must uncover and reveal to the Holy Spirit. This is an undertaking that requires an initiation, a relinquishment and a constant attention to the light that lies beyond all form, and all of time and space. It is not easy. But you become free when you do it. When you apply it each and every moment that you are not happy.

Is it possible to live in joy all the time? Oh yes, absolutely! So, in this sense, you have nothing to worry about. Your awakening is inevitable. The Power of Now is helpful and the mind training of A Course in Miracles works totally because it is a required course. The documentary about to be released called A Course in Miracles Unleashed is a testament to the awakening of the mind using the lessons of the Workbook of the Course. It is such a beautiful testimony to the power of this course and how it changes you, how the calling is going out to those who are messengers, teachers of the universal course. It is time to awaken, to bring others to the point of making the one decision that determines all others.

So, you have all the help you need. But, you still have to do it. You have to apply it to your everyday life and your thoughts about yourself. And you need total help from awakened minds. I needed the Master Teacher and I needed every brother who supported me along the way. That is absolutely clear to me. I couldn’t wake myself up. I needed help. Luckily, I received this help right when I needed it.

And so are you. If you are reading this blog and are reading the Course, it isn't enough to just read it. You have to live it, breathe it, become it...until the ideas are the very thoughts you think all the time. You live in a reality of love and the awareness that all that truly exists is light and love. Is that really possible...YES!

It takes everything, your constant devotion to your awakening, your constant dedication to relinquish judgment. And the willingness to be wrong. You must let go of thinking you already have it, and you will be given so much more. I promise you, the adventure of your life is just beginning. You have to want it to expand, to grow, to take you beyond the point where you are right now.

Love and blessings,

Monica

I am Surrounded by the Love of God

This is from "How Simple the Solution" a book that contains some of the Master Teacher's talks. It is an amazing book and I highly recommend getting your copy as it continually helps me. Here it is:

The basis of the teachings of subjective reality indicate to you that this is your world. No matter how tempted you are to think that there's something outside of your dream about it, there isn't. You are the cause of this. This will give you a real good feeling if you are ready to look at it. The first feeling you will have when you look at this is kind of fearful. You will go "Holy mackerel? You mean this is between me and the rest of the universe?" Yes! It has nothing to do with the images you have constructed to hold mutual grievances outside of you--that is to commiserate with your own death process. No! Now, you will like that. Why? Because it's individual transformation, and indeed the transformation is individual and singular.

Now we are into teaching initiation. We want to show you that you can actually go through a process in your own mind where you change the world. This is the declaration of Master Jesus that you are the savior of the world. But why should that be such a big deal if you constructed the world? ...Remember that thw world was constructed outside the framework of reality. And your relinquishment of it, then, is a necessary part.

OK. Now, how do you do that? By a constant surrendering of your ideas of separation, limitation, lack, littleness, pain, suffering, illness, and, finally death. Or, better yet. Look at the idea of death first and it will speed up your process for you immeasurably.

It is all based upon the premise that you are not a body. Because if you are not a body, you obviously cannot die, since it is only bodies that appear to die. If you can accept the fact that you are light, and that light is energy and has no end, you will proceed very rapidly. But, you have to be willing to give up every idea of a body. All associated ideas with a body are false. All ideas of having to be here and suffer and survive and live in this dream until death happens to you, must be relinquished by YOU. Because you made them up. If you can accept this fundamental fact, your process will be very rapid. That is my goal, just to help speed up your process.

OK? Not that hard? No. It doesn't take time for truth to be true. What takes time is your insistence that it take time. And your ideas about time are also false because time is a trick. All time is going on all the time. It is not sequential. You see how deluded you have made yourself? Not only do you think you are a body, but you also think you are in time. And that time is linear. Not true.

Think of vertical time, instead of horizontal time. Perhaps that will help you. All time lines are going on at the same time. That is why you can time travel if you want. It isn't hard, you just have to want to. But, still what is the point of time travel if it is always over? The time you woke up from the dream has truly already occurred. You are just remembering it now. You are looking back on it, and going through the motions, and in any given moment, you will suddenly go...wow, it was just a dream!!!

You see, it isn't real, this earth. You have to be willing to look at the possibility that you, like Jesus, resurrected from this earth and left. When did it happen? You tell me! It's entirely up to you. There is no power outside yourself that is stopping you.

I am totally amazed at the idea of victim or helplessness. You are a being of immense light energy. You can do anything in the universe. You are totally creative because you are Mind. And yet, you insist on telling a story of you being a body, a victim of circumstance. How ridiculous! Look at you. Close your eyes and feel the light energy that is YOU and that you radiate out from you.

It is incredible. Let it in. You are an amazing light! Feel it, talk to it, be in communication with it.

The only thing stopping you from this communication is you. You can decide not to be in communication with yourself, with God, with the universe. But you have already experienced the result of it...pain, loss, death. Is it any fun?

Come on. You know it isn't fun. God is telling you of your immensity, your grandeur, your perfection. Don't you want to know that? I hope so!

Let me know if I can help in any way. I just know that victims really are control freaks. They are trying to get everyone around them to feel sorry for them. I was big victim for a while. Then I got sick and tired of the game I was playing. I got really fed up with it. Finally, I died. I just let go of it all. And I woke up.

My victim story wasn't even true. It all turned out perfect. I am free now. My whole story ended in my resurrection. Wow. What a surprise. Everyone I see or think of is now set free. They were always free. I just didn't see them because I wasn't free. Now I see what is true. Freedom is total. When you are free, everything radiates love.

I am amazed at this. I am constantly amazed at how simple salvation truly is. Love is everywhere in everyone and there is no time or place where it isn't. Love is real. Nothing else is real. Only love....all you need is love. This is a true Christian teaching. Love your enemy and you will see it was only you. You made up your dream of suffering and you can let it end now!!!!

What in hell are you waiting for?

Blessings!
Monica

What is Illumination?

Since the passing of the body of the Master Teacher, I have been in a state of mind that is totally new. I cannot describe it. I know it isn't really different from before, but just more exponential in its power. I asked to be shown why this is.

The answer came from the Life and Teachings of the Masters of the Far East. Here it is:

"When we go back to the center of anything, it is pure light and this is the inner light of which Jesus spoke. It is the light of Illumination. The greater man's spiritual awakening, the greater the light. Have you not noticed that one awakened in joy has a radiance about his countenance? When one is spiritually awake, the light is correspondingly bright. That is why artists paint Jesus with a halo of light about him. Light is life. This is the "light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world" and it is the fire through which the initiates of the occult schools had to walk in order to be eligible to illumination. This light is all about us and is an emanation of the Pranic ethers. It is the light which is the beginning and the end of creation. When you can live in the light, as you now live in your sense of body, you will be immortal for the light never dies...

The transfiguration of Christ was when the consciousness of Jesus was merged into the realization that Intelligence, Life, and Substance were in the last analysis ONE and that One was what he called the Father, or primal cause, like all the various colors of the spectrum returning to a pure ray of white light."

Well, I don't know if this helps you, but it sure does show me that there is nothing going on here in dark form. There is only light and that light is me and is everywhere. This is the same teaching that all Masters teach. It never varies because truth is true and nothing else is true.

You must go through your initiation to experience it, however. It is imperative that you train your mind and that you focus on your transformation whole heartedly. There is no room for deviation from the purpose. The mission to fulfill is your awakening. It has nothing to do with anyone else. NOTHING.

So, be about it. All the tools are here. All the light and support are here. It is up to you when you awaken, but you even already decided that. We are still in body to shorten your time, that is all. You do not need to linger in time any more. It is over. It is past. Everything you see here is of your own making and it does not exist.

Freedom means coming into the light of your endless joy and love of your brother who is your Self! It is what you already are, so it doesn't take time to experience it. It is simply yours...it is your inheritance.

But you must relinquish the material static noncreative world you made. You must let go of your desire for anything other than perfection and perfect love. Forgive your enemy...for it is YOU! There is nothing in opposition to you. You are simply denying your own happiness and freedom in every moment. Pain is a poor perspetive. Be free. Choose again. It is very simple, but you have to want it, apply it and experience it.

I love you!

Monica

Fearless

This is a painting by a dear friend of mine in New York, Monica Serra. She is an awakened mind and I went to visit her last week after several years. She is amazing. Her transformation is in her paintings and she demonstrates the love of God so beautifully in her giving of herself to all her friends and family. She is incredible and I am so grateful to have her in my life!

A few days ago, we watched the Master Teacher's video from the Presidio, San Francisco from March of 1999. My friend Monica and I together met the Master at this Reunion of the Teachers of God. It was a moment in time I will never forget. I only know that the Plan is perfect in its timing and there is indeed nothing to fear. I only know that my part is essential and I can value it above all else.

I have lost my fear. I have lost my need to learn through pain. I have been blessed with friends that are deeply committed to this awakening. I know that I had only to make one decision to awaken and that was a real choice. Everything that happened to me after that came from this one decision which reflected a willingness to be healed, to be forgiven and to release my mind, my world that I made up to keep me in hell. As a separate mind, I don't know how to forgive, but I do know how to ask that Jesus show me how. And he did. He is with me. I talk to him all through the day. I know he totally loves me and wants only my perfect happiness. I have a real intimate relationship with him and he is my guide and savior.

I know that my initiation into this brotherhood of awakened minds has occurred. I constantly feel the assistance all around me, especially when conflict arises in my daily life. I know there is a Voice in my mind that is constantly speaking to me and helping to see everything totally new. If I accept that healing in every moment, I am free. I have to be vigilant for God.

Fear is just a poor perspective and doesn't exist. When you are fearful you don't exist. It's like your mind is just on hold when you are allowing fear to rule your life. Yet, to go past it, you must let it arise in your awareness. Don't reject it. Don't resist evil, don't resist fear. Let it come into your mind and ask for help from the Great Corrector. Your mind knows how to heal itself. That is why you never need be sick or in pain. The correction device is in you. In the Urantia Book, it is called the Thought Adjuster. Each of us has this Thought Adjuster in our mind and can access it at any time. This Adjuster works all the time to help in the release of the false self.

That is what the Kingdom of Heaven is, a kingdom of conscience, of being aware of the thoughts you are thinking and the willingness to have them be corrected. When I am in pain, I cannot wait to have the correction. I move through it very fast because the pain is intolerable to me.

Can you tolerate the judgments you make? Can you tolerate wanting to change external circumstances? Are you frustrated with your relationships because they don't really satisfy you? Remember, nothing can be changed outside of your mind. Your mind gives everything you see all the meaning it has for you. Therefore, seek not to change the world, but to simply change your own mind. This is the secret to salvation. It is so simple, yet you must do it. You must be about your Father's business. Mind is singular. You are not two selves in conflict. Life is eternal and you are that life. It never ends, therfore, there is nothing to fear. Death is impossible. God created you eternal, perfect and whole. Can you accept that?

I learned this in a very practical way from the 12 Step Program which does not give me one ounce of room for self-deception. I found that in doing the steps, my mind was healed and the revelation that I was the problem in every circumstance. Even when it really seemed like someone had done something to me. The steps show me in total clarity that behind every grievance is a bunch of fear. And this fear must be uncovered to be healed. Doing the steps is simply an exercise in looking at yourself, revealing the fears, letting be corrected and then, voila! You become a brand new YOU.

I cannot believe the light and love I experience each day from following this simple program. It is astounding. Everything has changed and I am free of all that fear I had covered up. I live in the NOW. The dream has taken on a new light of love and acceptance that I never knew possible. I am here only to truly serve and love and give and be happy!

Let me know if you need anything at all. I love you with all my heart. You are part of me and we are free!

Thank you!
Blessings!

Who walks with me?

As I read today's lesson, the question at the end suggests that we ask ourselves this a thousand times. A thousand times!

I ask it in the form of a song. I feel that this is a constant prayer. A repetition of a question that cannot be answered by words alone. The feeling I experience is assurance, calm, certainty. I can imagine that I am with all the ascended masters. Watched over. Taken care of like a newborn baby by its adoring mother.

All these feelings come into my awareness when I sincerely ask the question. Do I dare do so? I have nothing else that is more important to do. There isn't anything more important than an experience of total joining with my One Self. All worldly activities seem pale compared to this desire for knowledge, for the experience of wholeness.

It isn't hard. It is just that I have to value this above all other activities of this seemingly distracting world. I don't have to be distracted by it, however. No more. I simply have to give myself to the practice.

Stay alert. Keep my focus on the inner peace, the inner state of my mind. It isn't hard, it is just different.

Let me know how this goes for you.

Blessings!

Time of Transition

We are all feeling the insertion of an amazing light factor that is the Master Teacher out of body. He is everywhere. I am everywhere. I made my amends to my partner whom I love so much the day after this occurred, and I finally realized that I was only doing it all to myself. That I am what love is. I simply cannot believe the power behind this realization.

In doing this last forgiveness, I uncovered so much fear. Behind every grievance was a list of at least four or five fears, fear of loss, fear of no communication, fear of being alone, fear of nothingness, fear of not having my dream fulfilled!

I listed them all and they were 2 1/2 pages long. So, I asked Jesus, this is too much fear for me to deal with, what is it I am really afraid of now? He said, "Your perfection." So, I let go.

I went to see a Network chiropractor I used to go to in Brooklyn. He is an amazing healer and he helped me so much when I was going throught my initial transformation and having babies in New York. Amazingly, he now lives in Viroqua, a really nice little town not far from here. I was instructed to go by myself.

This was on Tuesday, the day Dear One left, and I gave him Dear One's video called "The Successful Transformation of the Human Being". He did a spinal adjustment on me and he found within my mental field a tiny voice that was behind this fear of perfection: It said "I am not enough." And it released and I suddenly realized, I am the light of the world. I can be this now because I am not afraid. I can be whole and perfect as God created me. No more doubts!

That night, I was driving through Reedsburg just around 8pm when Dear One made his final transition. In session the next day, I made my amends to my husband and the tears would not stop flowing.

We had a 12 Step meeting last night where I shared my story, and I am feeling so much love walking around in so much light now. I cannot believe it. I watch the Old Man's videos every night before I sleep and he is with me all night long. Lots of people are coming in to receive his light. He has fulfilled his assignment. Now I must fulfill mine.

It is so incredible. But it isn't really any different than when he was here. It is just up to us to fulfill our function now. There is so much gratitude! You can watch the latest videos on themiracletimes.com!

All for now,
Love and blessings!

Light and Love

I am astounded by the opening of my heart today. It is Mother's Day and a miracle happened for me. I was given a ticket to see an opera, Lucia di Lamamoor. It was incredibly wonderful. There is tremendous joy in trusting in God. I feel so much joy just by being myself and emjoying the love for myself and my Creator. The music was so beautiful, it included the most human dramas of special relationship. It reminded me of what I just released.

I only know that the light of my mind is becoming more expansive. I am open to receive finally. Letting in the light is loving myself totally and not blocking it with self doubt or fear. I have to relearn this natural receiving of the love of God.

It is always there, but I was blocking it with idols. I was looking outside myself for love. And it failed. Every time I tried, it failed. I suck at being human! All my relationships have failed.

I am so grateful. Now I realize it was always my Self I was seeking and I have found it.

This is all just a reminder to look within and find real happiness that is eternal. It never dies. Jesus is adamant about this. He is constantly, throughout the Course in Miracles, telling me to look within and I will see him. He is there. Unless I am afraid to look within, then I won't experience his love. But, if not...there he is. And he is me. This is eternal immortal love. It flows in and outside me. I have nothing to say about it. I just open up and receive it and it is healing every cell of my body. It is healing every thought in my mind.

I am not separate from that exquisite love that pours through me and out into the Universe. I am so happy this is true. I need do nothing. I am the love that I seek.

All I had to do was uncover the fears that were showing me that all my attempts at a special relationship were doomed to fail. Of course, because the special love relationship is a working out of vengeance on the past. So, in that sense, it never works out. It is always a huge disappointment. Why? Because THE PAST IS GONE. It doesn't make sense to try to solve it by another attempt at seeking outside for the love of God. It is time to put my toys away and stop the nonsense. I am what love is. I do not need to look outside for it. Period.

I've been reading The Song of Songs and Enlightenment by Dorothy Elder. I love it because it is showing me that to truly reach enlightenment, you have to let go of your ideas of what love is and what you are. You are in a mystical marriage of Creator and Son. This is singular. You are merging again with your Creator. You were asleep and now you waking up to the total experience of the divine love that is what you are! It is so exciting. I find myself in states of utter happiness and ecstasy.

Most of the time, I am just so grateful. I can only thank God that He has ceaselessly loved me since I was created. I can be grateful that I was willing to go through anything at all to have this happen to me. And that it is all a miracle.

I just found that in looking at my fear of being alone, I simply asked Jesus, okay, I see I am full of fear, but what am I really afraid of here? Do you know what he told me? I am afraid of my perfection.

Isn't that amazing? I am only afraid of myself. And guess what? I am my Self and it is Perfect. I have nothing to say about it. I have to be myself. That's it! How simple is salvation.

Blessings!

This Need Not Be

This passage in Chapter Four of the Urtext is always helpful to me. I have to reprint it here because every word, if you let it sink into your mind, will heal you of all temptation to believe in your pain. You can apply it to someone or to yourself. It is the key to forgiveness. I like it because it doesn't give me any room for justification of my own insane judgments.

Here it is:

In every case you have thought wrongly about some Soul that God created, and are perceiving images your ego makes in a darkened glass. Think honestly what you have thought that God would NOT have thought, and what you have NOT thought that God would have you think. Search sincerely for what you have done and left undone accordingly. And then change your minds to THINK WITH GOD'S.

How do you change your mind? Just think a new thought. Oh, I am wrong here. I am in pain, so I must be wrong. Period. I want to know what is true about myself and my brother. It is a challenge, but it also is easier than you think.

This may seem hard to you, but it is MUCH easier than trying to think AGAINST it. Your mind IS one with God's. Denying this and thinking otherwise has held your ego together, but has literally split your mind. As a loving brother, I am deeply concerned with your minds, and urge you to follow my example as you look at yourselves and at each other and see in both the glorious Creations of a glorious Father.

I often wonder why the pain is so persistent. But it is just habitual. I actually am enjoying it. I need to decide I don't like what I feel, and make another choice. Here is how Jesus expresses it:

When you are sad, KNOW that this NEED NOT BE. Depression ALWAYS arises ultimately from a sense of being deprived of something you want and do not have. KNOW you are deprived of nothing, except by your own decisions, and then decide otherwise.

When you are anxious, KNOW that all anxiety comes from the capriciousness of the ego, and NEED NOT BE. You can be as vigilant AGAINST the ego's dictates as FOR them.

When you feel guilty, KNOW that your ego has indeed violated the laws of God, but YOU have not. Leave the sins of the ego to me. That is what the Atonement is for. But until you change your mind about those your ego has hurt, the Atonement cannot release you. As long as you feel guilty, your ego is in command, because only the ego CAN experience guilt. THIS NEED NOT BE.

Well, there you have it. In a nutshell. Any emotion that you can conjure up, is addressed in this passage. Jesus really knows you. And now, because you are on this journey without distance, there is no reason to cling to old habitual thinking. There is every reason to let it go. This is not difficult, it is just a completely different way to use the power of your mind. Instead of aligning with falsity, you align with God.

Let me know if this helps you today!

Blessings!
