August 9th 2014 Review IV
Lesson 144
- Intention:
To review two thoughts each the day in preparation for the second part
of our learning to apply the truth. The central theme that unifies
the lessons of this review is:
My mind holds only what I think with God.
We will use this thought in preparing our minds to learn the many forms of illusion that lack of true forgiveness takes, and to remember that self-deceptions cannot take the place of truth. We will dedicate five minutes of our time with this thought to set the day along the lines which God appointed it take.
- Practice: Spend five minutes with this thought, at the beginning of the day and just before you sleep, letting
your mind engage it fully, wihle letting go of all other thoughts.
These few minutes will place His Mind in charge of all the thoughts you
will receive each day and which you will share with everyone; this is your communion with God.
- Application: After
you preparation, merely read each of the two ideas assigned to you to
be reviewed that day. Then close your eyes and say them slowly to
yourself. Let each word shine with the meaning God has given it, as it
was given to you through His Voice. Let each idea you receive each day
give you the gift that He has laid in it for you to have of Him. And we
will use no format for our practicing but this:
- Each hour of the day, bring to your mind the thought with which the day began, and spend a quiet moment with it.
- Then repeat the two ideas you practice for the day unhurriedly, with time enough to see the gifts that they contain for you, and let them be received where they were meant to be.
We add no other thoughts, but let these be the messages they are. We need no more than this to give us happiness and rest, and endless quiet, perfect certainty, and all our Father wills that we receive as the inheritance we have of Him. Each day of practicing, as we review, we close as we began, repeating first the thought that made the day a special time of blessing and of happiness for us; and through our faithfulness restored the world from darkness to the light, from grief to joy, from pain to peace, from sin to holiness. - Each hour of the day, bring to your mind the thought with which the day began, and spend a quiet moment with it.
My mind holds only what I think with God.
(127) There is no love but God's.
(128) The world I see holds nothing that I want.
I and my Creator are One.
