Nothing exists but you. And you are but a thought—a vagrant thought …

Jeff Foster THE DEEPER MEANING OF “ABUNDANCE”

This text will keep you true to your home: “Love not pleasure, love God.” Remember continually this truth: “There is in man a higher love than love of happiness; he can do without happiness, and instead thereof find blessedness.” Emma Curtis Hopkins

"you are not you--you have no body

On the outside I am cool. Inside I’m having a heart attack.

Who would YOU be without the belief that this is terrible, terrible, terrible and something surely terrible, terrible, terrible will happen?

Vibrating during meditations.

 Q #307: I have been studying A Course in Miracles for over a year now. For the last few months, I have been having this strange and wonderful feeling -- my body starts physically vibrating during my morning and night meditations. I feel like something inside me is about to take off, like an airplane, a kind of inner weightlessness. After my meditation, I feel great and full of energy. But sometime this feeling that I am experiencing makes me think and think again. I wonder if other students are or have experienced the same thing I am. I also wonder if it is okay to feel that way.

This is Halloween night,

the time of strange creatures and weird happenings. Halloween is taken as a light festive time, fun for the children and maybe a little work for the adults, but nevertheless, Halloween is symbolic. It gives a hint of another world, it suggests something that is not a part of your everyday life and that hint is quite correct, because there is another world and while on Halloween it’s lighthearted and fun, behind it is something that is very, very existent in the lives of every human being on earth.
Behind the masks and the playtime there is something that is dreadfully serious.

Jeff Foster _Life Without a Centre :

Happiness

“But I’ll tell you what hermits realize. If you go off into a far, far forest and get very quiet, you’ll come to understand that you’re connected with everything.” ~ Alan Watts

Gabrielle Bernstein The #1 Key to Success

“Committing to your happiness increases your chances for success.” ~ Robert Holden

http://workwithgrace.com: In the silence, we’re connected.

You forgot your life is a game.

PurposeFairy: There’s nothing wrong with having abundance in your life, with loving people and appreciating the beauty that surrounds you. But when you become attached to all of them and when you use them as an excuse as to why you’re not going where your heart wants you to go and why you’re not walking on the path your Soul wants you to be walking, that’s when you move away from your own Divinity.

Being attached prevents us

Events are not problems, they're just events.

Divine Inspiration from Love, Bliss, and Peace

Amanda Christian and ACIM: https://www.youtube.com/user/AmandaChristianTV/videos

It's easy to spend a lot of time splashing around on top of the water of life, preoccupied with thoughts such as "I should be more like this, or more like that".

Outlining

The false self always finds a way to create the conditions it needs in order to make itself feel important.

Learn to be a happy learner.

The Holy Spirit needs a happy learner, in whom his mission can be happily accomplished.

The Art of Dodging Questions

First Prayer

O Great St. Joseph of Cupertino who while on earth did obtain from God the grace to be asked at your examination only the questions you knew, obtain for me a like favour in the examinations for which I am now preparing. In return I promise to make you known and cause you to be invoked.
Through Christ our Lord.
St. Joseph of Cupertino, Pray for us.
Amen.

Jack-in-a-Box ~ The Truth behind Illusions.

The wearying, dissatisfying gods you made are blown-up children's toys. A child is frightened when a wooden head springs up as a closed box is opened suddenly, or when a soft and silent woolly bear begins to squeak as he takes hold of it. The rules he made for boxes and for bears have failed him, and have broken his "control" of what surrounds him. And he is afraid, because he thought the rules protected him. Now must he learn the boxes and the bears did not deceive him, broke no rules, nor mean his world is made chaotic and unsafe. He was mistaken. He misunderstood what made him safe, and thought that it had left.

Seek Not Outside Yourself

Seek not outside yourself. For it will fail, and you will weep each time an idol falls. Heaven cannot be found where it is not, and there can be no peace excepting there.

Seek not outside yourself.

Release is given you the instant you desire it.

When peace comes at last to those who wrestle with temptation and fight against the giving in to sin; when the light comes at last into the mind given to contemplation; or when the goal is finally achieved by anyone, it always comes with just one happy realization;

The Little Garden

It is only the awareness of the body that makes love seem limited. For the body is a limit on love. The belief in limited love was its origin, and it was made to limit the unlimited. Think not that this is merely allegorical, for it was made to limit you. Can you who see yourself within a body know yourself as an idea? Everything you recognize you identify with externals, something outside itself. You cannot even think of God without a body, or in some form you think you recognize.

The Yearning To Make Yourself Complete.

It is not form you seek. What form can be a substitute for God the Father's Love? What form can take the place of all the love in the Divinity of God the Son? What idol can make two of what is one? And can the limitless be limited? You do not want an idol. It is not your will to have one. It will not bestow on you the gift you seek. When you decide upon the form of what you want, you lose the understanding of its purpose. So you see your will within the idol, thus reducing it to a specific form. Yet this could never be your will, because what shares in all creation cannot be content with small ideas and little things.

You Can Let Yourself Be Wakened.

Within the dream of bodies and of death is yet one theme of truth; no more, perhaps, than just a tiny spark, a space of light created in the dark, where God still shines. You cannot wake yourself. Yet you can let yourself be wakened. You can overlook your brother's dreams. So perfectly can you forgive him his illusions he becomes your savior from your dreams. And as you see him shining in the space of light where God abides within the darkness, you will see that God Himself is where his body is. Before this light the body disappears, as heavy shadows must give way to light. The darkness cannot choose that it remain. The coming of the light means it is gone. In glory will you see your brother then, and understand what really fills the gap so long perceived as keeping you apart. There, in its place, God's witness has set forth the gentle way of kindness to God's Son. Whom you forgive is given power to forgive you your illusions. By your gift of freedom is it given unto you.

You Let Him Be ~ The Secret Vows

The miracle does nothing. All it does is to undo. And thus it cancels out the interference to what has been done. It does not add, but merely takes away. And what it takes away is long since gone, but being kept in memory appears to have immediate effects. This world was over long ago. The thoughts that made it are no longer in the mind that thought of them and loved them for a little while. The miracle but shows the past is gone, and what has truly gone has no effects. Remembering a cause can but produce illusions of its presence, not effects. ACiM - Text Chapter Twenty-eight - The Undoing of Fear - Section 1 - The Present Memory

Nothing at all has happened

In quietness are all things answered, and is every problem quietly resolved.

Whenever any form of special relationship tempts you to seek for love in ritual, remember

The Bridge to Eternity:

• the Bridge between perception and knowledge

• the Bridge for the transfer of perception to knowledge

The perfect equality of the Holy Spirit's perception is the reflection of the perfect equality of God's knowing. The ego's perception has no counterpart in God, but the Holy Spirit remains

• invest in truth, and let it work in peace. Have faith in Him Who has faith in you. Think what you have really seen and heard, and recognize it. Can you be alone with witnesses like these? ACiM  Text - Chapter Sixteen - The Forgiveness of Illusions - Section 2 - The Power of Holiness

• you will begin to learn, and make learning commensurate with teaching. You have chosen this by your own willingness to teach. Though you seemed to suffer for it, the joy of teaching will yet be yours. For the joy of teaching is in the learner, who offers it to the teacher in gratitude, and shares it with him. As you learn, your gratitude to your Self, Who teaches you what He is, will grow and help you honor Him. And you will learn His power and strength and purity, and love Him as His Father does. His Kingdom has no limits and no end, and there is nothing in Him that is not perfect and eternal. All this is you, and nothing outside of this is you. ACiM Text - Chapter Sixteen - The Forgiveness of Illusions - Section 3 - The Reward of Teaching

• is thus the time to make the easiest decision that ever confronted you, and also the only one. You will cross the bridge into reality simply because you will recognize that God is on the other side, and nothing at all is here. It is impossible not to make the natural decision as this is realized. ACiM Text - Chapter Sixteen - The Forgiveness of Illusions - Section 5 - The Choice for Completion

Powerless Over Your Thinking? The Steps To Freedom

Chapter 13 is the longest chapter of ACiM. Ken Wapnick called it the heart of the course.

A Course in Miracles is different from some other paths. Some paths suggest that if we use the law of attraction our outer world will look different. The Course does not guarantee a change in form, but does guarantee a change in mind
