A Blessing:

May You Awaken

"I am determined to see this differently."

A gem from Gemma Stone:

private thoughts

Yet it is a fact that there are no private thoughts. Despite your initial resistance to this idea, you will yet understand that it must be true if salvation is possible at all. And salvation must be possible because it is the Will of God. ACiM - Workbook Lesson 19

KEEP ON MOVING

The mind is very powerful, and never loses its creative force. It never sleeps.

My presence creates peace.

Nothing is missing, lacking, absent, deficient about anything in this moment.

Allow the grace of love to carry you to the place where your dreams are manifested into reality. Hear the soft whisper of your soul and beckon to its call. - Abby Gooch http://www.intuitiontoincomesummit.com/

"By feeling the emotions, you can get to an understanding; you can get to see what it is you lost, and experience it. We need to become aware of our emotions in order to understand and see our essence; emotions are a guide and point to where essence has been lost....Essence is something more real and more substantial than emotions. Essence is something as real as your blood." ~ A.H. Almaas

… who would you be without the belief that you could fail, screw it up….or that it would be horrible to be hated, shunned or criticized?

I AM MIRACULOUSLY BLESSED

This day, dear God, I walk with the joyous step in gratitude of my blessings. Today is Your day, dear God. At the outset, I dedicate the minutes and the hours of this day to Your good purposes, and I dedicate myself to being a channel through which Your good can come forth. All that contains the day will be blessed by Your love and mine.

I can give up but what was never real.

"Whatever you think the world is withholding from you, you are withholding from the world." Appreciate when you feel underappreciated. You can give appreciation if you really have zero cash and zero credit. Appreciation for all creation. The air, the globe mallow and its delicate orange blossoms, the hard ground beneath your feet, the sun, the stars, the ripe fig, the rustling wind, the leopard print pillow, and the rude barista, the jarring television sounds, the confused Facebook page, the peeling paint, all of it. Express appreciation for all of it--the good, the bad, the ugly and remember that this is happening for you by you through you. Expressing appreciation is one of the most natural and empowering forms of expression--in whatever ways it shows up. appreciation for authors Robert Scheinfeld, Michael Roach, and Charles Eisenstein

"One of Loretta's self-discoveries shook her like an earthquake. She realized that she really did not want to go around helping people after all. She did so compulsively, because she thought it a sign of 'goodness.' But she finally saw that compulsive 'goodness' was only self-flattering egotism. She told me, 'You know, I actually resented my so-called generosity.'" Vernon Linwood Howard

A Course in Miracles says, “When you meet anyone, remember it is a holy encounter. As you see him, you will see yourself … for in him you will find yourself or lose yourself.” In time we can see how it went wrong, which means how you betrayed your truth – how you betrayed yourSelf (with the big “S”) by listening to yourself (with the lowercase “S”).

"After a long journey it is good to be back home again. Right?
You know that's where you should be.
Your mission is accomplished and now it's time to be home.

We're going to talk tonight about being in the right place internally. Being in our rightful, natural and spiritual home. And the first thing you must record in your mind is that there is only one home. That home is yours to find. Yours to live in. And you don't need a single outside influence or human being to find it. You don't need anyone." Vernon Linwood Howard

Thanksgiving Day, gratitude day, is coming soon in America, and just in time, in time, and why wait for apparent time to be grateful? Notice now: air, breath, table, flower, desk, chair, window, tree...

I love writing to the you in my mind, since I love mind, the creator of all. So, without choice, I love what its “I” imagines all of life to be and can only be. Byron Katie

Gabrielle Bernstein: #1 Tip for Thanksgiving

We must be like young eagles who dare to leave the nest because they have sighted the vast world beyond. Vernon Linwood Howard

Anger has no hold on you. Sadness never conquers you. Hatred will not rest in your bosom ever if your remember this: “My soul doth magnify the Lord.” ECH

I can give up but what was never real.

I sacrifice illusions; nothing more. And as illusions go I find the gifts illusions tried to hide, awaiting me in shining welcome, and in readiness to give God's ancient messages to me. His memory abides in every gift that I receive of Him. And every dream serves only to conceal the Self which is God's only Son, the likeness of Himself, the Holy One Who still abides in Him forever, as He still abides in me.

Father, to You all sacrifice remains forever inconceivable. And so I cannot sacrifice except in dreams. As You created me, I can give up nothing You gave me. What You did not give has no reality. What loss can I anticipate except the loss of fear, and the return of love into my mind? ACIM

"Take as a fact that fear is a gigantic hoax, then use all these truths to expose the hoax." Vernon Linwood Howard

Father, let me remember You are here, and I am not alone. Surrounding me is everlasting Love. I have no cause for anything except the perfect peace and joy I share with You. What need have I for anger or for fear? Surrounding me is perfect safety. Can I be afraid, when Your eternal promise goes with me? Surrounding me is perfect sinlessness. What can I fear, when You created me in holiness as perfect as Your Own?  Amen

Audio Prayer for Peace http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-HVMuZJkRg Enjoy this Prayer on Making a Reservation for Peace from Robin Duncan's "Miracles in Prayer" book at: http://www.freeprayerbook.com/

Father, Your way is what I choose today. Where it would lead me do I choose to go; what it would have me do I choose to do. Your way is certain, and the end secure. The memory of You awaits me there. And all my sorrows end in Your embrace, which You have promised to Your Son, who thought mistakenly that he had wandered from the sure protection of Your loving Arms. ACIM

When you first awaken take a few moments to scan what you have planned for the day. Notice what you are looking forward to, and also where you may feel some resistance. 

If you become aware that some of your current thoughts, words and actions are in conflict with your authentic self, you may want to make some different choices. Reflecting upon awakening is a good place to start taking back your life; thought-by-thought, word-by-word and step-by-step.

Affirmation:

Every sleeping person is convinced he is awake.

from~Vernon Linwood Howard

My body, Father, cannot be Your Son. And what is not created cannot be sinful nor sinless; neither good nor bad. Let me not see my body more than a wholly neutral thing; of service for a while and fit to serve, to keep its usefulness while it can serve, and then to be replaced for greater good. Let me, then, use this dream to help Your plan that we awaken from all dreams we made. ACIM

God's Name can not be heard without response, nor said without an echo in the mind that calls you to remember. Say His Name, and you invite the angels to surround the ground on which you stand, and sing to you as they spread out their wings to keep you safe, and shelter you from every worldly thought that would intrude upon your holiness. ACIM

workwithgrace: Feeling Bad And Don’t Know Why? Here’s What To Do
and
 You Are Never Truly Homeless, Even When You Are

Put out your hand, and see how easily the door swings open with your one intent to go beyond it. Angels light the way, so that all darkness vanishes, and you are standing in a light so bright and clear that you can understand all things you see. A tiny moment of surprise, perhaps, will make you pause before you realize the world you see before you in the light reflects the truth you knew, and did not quite forget in wandering away in dreams. No one can fail who seeks to reach the truth. ACiM - Workbook Lesson 131

What is Content Curation?

Content curation is the process of sorting through the vast amounts of content on the web and presenting it in a meaningful and organized way around a specific theme.  The work  involves  sifting, sorting, arranging, and publishing information.  A content curator cherry picks the best content that is important and relevant to share with their community. It isn’t unlike …

A happy outcome to all things is sure.

Atonement corrects illusions, not truth. Therefore, it corrects what never was. ACiM - Manual for Teachers - Section 2 - Who Are Their Pupils?

Anyone can do this. You do not need to be special.

To be full of love, you need only to stop and see if what you are imagining is actually true.

See if there is something present besides thinking.

See if you are safe. Be Full of Love–Question Your Fears workwithgrace

I am walking steadily on toward truth.

I am blessed as a Son of God

I am calm, quiet, assured and confident.

The part of your mind in which truth abides is in constant communication with God, whether you are aware of it or not. The part that is listening to the Voice for God is calm, always at rest and wholly certain. It is really the only part there is where stillness and peace reign forever.

Put all your faith in the Love of God within you; eternal, changeless and forever unfailing.

"The universe will give you what you need, against your best thought....When you do The Work and turn your thoughts around, you find advantages for what happens. You win if you're right, you win if you're wrong. In my life I always win, win, win, win..." ~ Byron Katie

I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my seeing. The idea for today is another step in learning that the thoughts which give rise to what you see are never neutral or unimportant. It also emphasizes the idea that minds are joined, which will be given increasing stress later on.

Today's idea does not refer to what you see as much as to how you see it. ACiM - Workbook Lesson 18

What are YOU?

Stare at the picture until you see the birds in the middle.

Now go stare at yourself in the mirror before reading the rest.

Breathing Money Visualization

Sit or lay down and make yourself comfortable. 
Use meditation music or just any music you like.
Start taking deep, slow breaths in and out.
Start by visualizing an amount of money. 
This is going to be your starting amount so it doesn't have to be really high. 
You can start with a modest amount, it might be a good idea to start with the amount you actually have in your bank account. 
Pick an amount that feels good to you.
Next, as you breathe in visualize that amount going up. 
Visualize your original amount going up by as much as you feel comfortable with, or what feels right to you.
Then as you breathe out visualize the amount dropping a little bit, as if you just spent some of your money. 
But don't go back to the original amount, leave it a bit higher than your original amount.
Then repeat this for as long as you want and up to as much as you want.

Money In
