September 23rd 2014 Lesson 189
I feel the Love of God within me now.
- Intention: To remember that the love and peace, and light of God is in us now; we need only turn our attention to it and away form the world.
- Practice: Today we pass illusions and seek to reach what is true in us--God's Love, and feel its all-embracing tenderness, its Love which knows us perfect as itself, its sight which is the gift its Love bestows on us. Twice today, let us sit in silence and open our hearts and minds to the Love of God that shines forever in us.
- Application: 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.
Is it not He Who knows the way to you? You need not know the way to Him. Your part is simply to allow all obstacles that you have interposed between the son and God the Father be quietly removed forever. God will do His part in joyful and immediate response. Ask and receive. But do not make demands nor point the road to God by which He should appear to you. The way to reach Him is merely to let Him be. for in that way is your reality proclaimed as well. And in our quiet hearts and open minds, His Love will blaze its pathway of itself.
Father, we do not know the way to You. But we have called, and You have answered us. We will not interfere. Salvation's ways are not our own, for they belong to You. And it is unto You we look for them. Our hands are open to receive Your gifts. We have no thoughts we think apart from You, and cherish no beliefs of what we are, or Who created us. Yours is the way that we would find and follow. And we ask but that Your Will, which is our own as well, be done in us and in the world that it become a part of Heaven now. Amen.
Insights/comments:
- God created us perfect and knows us as we truly are. He is not dismayed by our ideas and beliefs about ourselves for He know what He created cannot be changed or diminished in any way. That we are perfect is the truth about us and only this is true, but because we do not experience ourselves in this way, we have doubts, and in our doubting make up stories about about what we think we are. The solution to this is simply to let go of our thoughts and ideas about ourselves and we will surely come to rest in the peace that we truly are. All the false layers we have built around ourselves will gently fall away as we let go of our fantasies and trust in the love that is God.
I and my Creator are One.
