God Thinks Otherwise

God thinks otherwise:

it's how my every mistaken thought is corrected in an instant, a single phrase that wipes clean my mind and restores me to original innocence - 

And God thinks otherwise. (ACIM, T-23.I.2:7)

 for me, this one sentence in A Course in Miracles that holds the most promise. It tells me that the worst thoughts used against myself and others simply aren't true in the mind of God. He thinks otherwise. This sets me free form my own dark beliefs about....everything. 

but especially myself.

and most important is it's such a soft mindfulness. I'm not asked to examine these thoughts, to trade them for an instant affirmation of good faith. There's no battle here. Whatever it is the the ego brings, from darkness to depression, no emotions or impression excluded...God thinks otherwise. 

and I'm free.

nothing has to change because reality is already established.

it's an easy recognition.

always true.

no matter what clouds my mind right now.

Vigilant

Vigilant: 

it's a gentle choice, being vigilant only for God and consistently choosing the loving thought offered. This is mindfulness to the fullest extent, not denying nor bypassing anything, but simply recognizing the source these thoughts arrive from and the consequences that follow. The ego has never brought me real joy, fleeting pleasure perhaps, but nothing truly lasting. Yet the Holy Spirit, that symbol for the voice of God within my mind - has only ever whispered joy and promises me eternal freedom. This isn't a distant heaven that I might one day arrive to, it's here, right now, and available to be experienced. The kingdom of heaven is a choice...

and every loving thought is my arrival.

A World of Effect

A world of effect: 

it's a world of effects, personal, as well as collective, and the cause is always based upon the thoughts we have. My own goal, my dharma really, is to re-purpose the world, to use every effect as a means of forgiveness and see the light this offers. So everything, everyone, is part of this mission. This means giving up my every attack thought, refusing to justify the cause that creates this wounded world. No one is excluded, every far corner of my mind lighted and examined for hints of darkness. It's a lifelong journey, a soul's practice...but I'm determined to see the world a different way.

A Kinder World

A kinder world: 

through not bypassing a single dark thought or emotion, being attentive to our own distress and watchful of their projections - slowly, slowly, we now begin to perceive a different world. Nothing is outside our point of view, there is only the landscape of the mind, and what's seen is our creation. So it's our responsibility to change it. This is where the word begins, owning our creation by shifting the thoughts offered by the shadows of ego towards the light of the Holy Spirit. 

it's a very simple plan.

examine the world caused by thought system.

and then choose a different one.

as often as needed.

until we see a kinder world.

For the Appearance of the World

For the appearance of the world: 

it's so subtle that even after almost half a lifetime of practice I still fall victim to the world I see. There seems to be a gravitational pull towards this belief system, how external affairs shape my experiences, and how little concern is given to my internal world. Yet A Course in Miracles continuously reminds me that I am not a victim at all, indeed, that I am the actual creator of the word of my experience and it's entirely up to me to change it. 

but only if I'm aware that this is so.

what I'm asked to do is to make a shift, to reverse that gravitational pull towards outer conditions and simply begin to examine my thoughts and the belief system that keeps me bound within the suffering of an external world that holds me as a victim. That's all, to just be aware, even briefly, that my thoughts contribute to the world's creation. 

and then practice letting those thoughts go...

forgiving myself,

for the appearance of the world.

while loving my way towards a new one.

Meaningless Thoughts

Meaningless thoughts: 

lesson 4 in A Course in Miracles tells me that none of my thoughts have any meaning, no hierarchy, not a single one more significant than the other. What I find now, after decades of reading the Course and doing the workbook lessons, is that understanding one point made here is pretty much knowing the entirety of every lesson, and indeed, there'd be no reason to continue further. There's the essence of the message within almost every lesson and sentence.

in fact, this lesson is repeated in similar form more than once.

my thoughts no not mean anything.

lesson 10.

in between these two lessons I'm shown that the reason for this being true is that my thoughts are preoccupied with the past and then projecting them towards the future. The present moment, until this is clearly seen, is largely a receptacle  for my meaningless thoughts. Sadly,as these thoughts then proceed to show me a meaningless world. 

it's here, lesson 10, that a hint of clarity is dropped.

that this idea will help release me from all that I now believe. 

finally.

a glimpse of freedom shown.

from this point on the world makes sense, or begins too.

I've created the world I see, meaningless thoughts of past judgments and beliefs have trapped me in an illusory world, my own creation and only my present state of love can move me away from this imprisonment. 

it's about remembering who, and what...

I am.

as easy as that.

Peace, Eric
