Gerry Visca UNLEASHING WHY POWER: Your light

Gerry Visca UNLEASHING WHY POWER: Your light: Inside of you is a light that we all need. When you believe and IGNITE this light it will illuminate our way.   Your light has been burnin...

This Christmas give the Holy Spirit everything that would hurt you.

Let yourself be healed completely that you may join with Him in healing,

and let us celebrate our release together by releasing everyone with us.

Leave nothing behind, for release is total,

and when you have accepted it with me

you will give it with me.

All pain and sacrifice and littleness will disappear in our relationship,

which is as innocent as our relationship with our Father, and as powerful.

Pain will be brought to us and disappear in our presence,

and without pain there can be no sacrifice.

And without sacrifice there love must be.

ACIM Ch.15.XI.3 Excerpts 

A great question to start with.

The magic wand that will assist you in changing anything quickly and dynamically is… drum roll please… ASKING QUESTIONS!

Questions open the door to all possibilities.

Questions change the energy of what you have decided is unchangeable.

Questions invite something new and something greater into your world.

“A question always empowers. An answer always disempowers.” - Gary Douglas

A great question to start with is:

Choice Words

To-day, the keeping of words is not very sacred. People use them as if they were running from a tap in the kitchen and try to wash off the dishes of their thought, but as you know, you have to use soap to get them clean! There is nothing more readily at hand to erase the film from your experience than the All.

The Way to Remember God

T-12.II.1. Miracles are merely the translation of denial into truth.

God is the Healer

"Become as a little child," and, learning how to be still, listen to that which the Father will say to you through the intuitional part of your being. The light that you so crave will come out of the deep silence and become manifest to you from within yourself, if you will but keep still and look for it from that source. Excerpt from LESSONS IN TRUTH by H. Emilie Cady

The answer comes out of silence.

"We are completely unaware of our true nature because we constantly identify ourselves with our body, our emotions and our thoughts, thus losing sight of our unchanging centre which is pure consciousness." - Jean Klein

Happiness is peace in motion, peace is happiness at rest.

Deep within your soul is the God light of reason. Heed it.
So you will be good and do good.
This is your verse:
“God is Love - God is Spirit - God is Truth - God is Life.”

What's wrong with right now, unless you think about.

“The story, yours and mine- it’s what we all carry with us on this trip we take, and we owe it to each other to respect our stories and learn from them.”   - William Carlos  Williams

 "I can ask any of you right now:

PARADOX

Not truth, nor certainty. These I foreswore
In my novitiate, as young men called
To holy orders must abjure the world.
“If . . ., then . . .,” this only I assert;
And my successes are but pretty chains
Linking twin doubts, for it is vain to ask
If what I postulate be justified,
Or what I prove possess the stamp of fact.

The reality of this world is infinite consciousness or God's infinite being.

“Meditation is a universal ‘Yes’ to everything.” Francis Lucille

AboutFrancis Lucille

HuangPo “said, some 1200 years ago, "People neglect the reality of the illusory world.”

Who or what AM I? What aspect of experience has remained with me all my life? What aspect of my experience never appears or disappears? What aspect of my experience is present NOW, was present before that and even before that? What part of my experience was there when I was 5 years old and still remains?

A Course in Miracles meets Rupert Spira

I am as God created me.

In this ONE thought is all the past undone; the present saved to quietly extend into a timeless future.

All that is asked of you is to make room for truth.

You are asked to live so as to demonstrate that you are not an ego, and I do not choose God's channels wrongly.

EVERYTHING comes from God, and EVERYTHING is God.

“Except ye become as little children” means that unless you fully recognize your complete dependence on God, you cannot know the real power of the Son in his true relationship with the Father.” – ACiM Chapter 1, Section V, The Meaning of Miracles, Wholeness and Spirit

"A blessing is a circle of light drawn around a person to protect, heal and strengthen." - John O'Donohue

Knowledge is not the motivation for learning this course.

“Okay, I have forgotten what I am and I accept the truth of my identity and I’m not a body. I can’t be sick.”

“Let us not look east and west for materials of conversation, but rest in presence and unity. A just feeling will fast enough supply fuel for discourse, if speaking be more grateful than silence. When people come to see us, we foolishly prattle, lest we be inhospitable. But things said for conversation are chalk eggs. Don’t say things. What you are stands over you the while, and thunders so that I cannot hear what you say to the contrary. A lady of my acquaintance said, “I don’t care so much for what they say as I do for what makes them say it.”. -Ralph Waldo Emerson, from his essay “Letters and Social Aims” 1875

"How is it possible to get angry at yourself: who, exactly, is angry at whom?"

Forgiving is for giving.

“When the ego was made, God placed in the mind the Call to joy [a shift in perception]. This Call is so strong that the ego always dissolves at Its sound.” – ACiM, Text, Chapter 5, The Voice for God

Very quietly now, with your eyes closed, try to let go of all the content that generally occupies your consciousness. Think of your mind as a vast circle, surrounded by a layer of heavy, dark clouds. You can see only the clouds because you seem to be standing outside the circle and quite apart from it.

Bringing Fantasy to Truth (A hologram of the whole)

 

“That which we are, we shall teach, not voluntarily, but involuntarily. Thoughts come into our minds by avenues which we never left open, and thoughts go out of our minds through avenues which we never voluntarily opened. Character teaches over our head.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson, from his essay “The Over-Soul”, 1841

“To teach is to demonstrate. There are only two thought systems, and you demonstrate that you believe one or the other is true all the time. From your demonstration others learn, and so do you. The question is not whether you will teach, for in that there is no choice. The purpose of the course might be said to provide you with a means of choosing what you want to teach on the basis of what you want to learn. You cannot give to someone else, but only to yourself, and this you learn through teaching. Teaching is but a call to witnesses to attest to what you believe. It is a method of conversion. This is not done by words alone. Any situation must be to you a chance to teach others what you are, and what they are to you. No more than that, but also never less.” -A Course in Miracles

Healing the T(error)ist Within

Miracles in Manhattan - Healing the T(error)ist Within

“I am the Idea of God, and in God I live and move and have my being.”

1. Happiness is a Decison

2. “Miracles are everyone’s right but purification is necessary first.” -A Course in Miracles
   You are already pure - so purification is nothing more than becoming aware of what you already are!

“If God be for us who can be against us?”

“Be vigilant only for God and His Kingdom. This is a major step towards fundamental change.” – A Course in Miracles

"Be vigilant only for God and His Kingdom."

This is a major step toward fundamental change. Yet it still has an aspect of thought reversal, since it implies that there is something you must be vigilant against. It has advanced far from the first lesson, which is merely the beginning of the thought reversal, and also from the second, which is essentially the identification of what is more desirable. This step, which follows from the second as the second follows from the first, emphasizes the dichotomy between the desirable and the undesirable. It therefore makes the ultimate choice inevitable.

THE THIRD PRESENCE

Never forget that all Bible Texts are open to three interpretations. When we hear a man explaining the meaning of a text at though it related to our living a life, behaving ourselves by force of will, we see that he is on the childhood, babyhood, plane. He would say you must force yourself to leave off drinking tea, or gambling, or opium eating, in order to please God.

About FRIENDSHIP

Your friends are those who do not wait for things to happen in order to decide which attitude to take; they decide on the spur of the moment, even though they know it could be risky. They are free spirits who can change direction whenever life requires them to. They explore new paths, recount their adventures, and thus enrich both city and village via building communities. If they once took a wrong and dangerous path, they will never come to you and say ‘Don’t ever do that.’

‘We belong together; we are one.’

Instead of dis-ease thinking focus on happiness thinking, health thinking.

“Prayer is a way to reach to God.” -A Course in Miracles5

“I am a child of God” that’s prayer.

How Someone Found Healing By Listening To Their Inner Music

An imaginative depiction of a first-hand experience of recovery from long-time chronically progredient MS and recurring depression

Either way, it’s OK.

I am, whole and perfect. I’m not my stories, I’m not my body.

“I’m a child of God. God is my Source. I have everything.” ACiM

“Look into your mind. Look how you create your very own experience: through your thinking. Give all these thoughts to God. Imagine radiant hands reaching down to you from above. Place all your thoughts into them. All your feelings. All your wishes. All your worries. Then see how you are creating the entire world. Literally the entire world of opposites. It appears as a never-ending cycle, creating itself anew from moment to moment. Each thought immediately brings about its opposite. Each birth leads immediately to death. But that is not your experience. Your mind creates a chewing gum to glue together both ends—birth and death—which then allows you to stretch them apart. This sticky stuff is what you call life, but your real life is so much more—so radiant, so powerful and at the same time inconceivably peaceful, joyful and serene … Go there for a moment …”

SOME STATEMENTS OF TRUTH FROM A COURSE IN MIRACLES

• I am Spirit

• My mind is part of God’s. I am very holy.
• Light and peace and joy abide in me.
• I am sustained by the Love of God.

"The first step in the undoing is to

recognize that you actively decided wrongly,

but can as actively decide otherwise.

“I am as God created me”

“Let us declare this truth as often as we can. This is the key that opens up the gate of Heaven, and that lets you enter in the peace of God.” – ACiM

A quiet mind allows for clear guidance and direction.

What The Olympics Can Teach Us About Truth And Reality Creation

Self-actualizing people share the following qualities:

You’re not the one driving the bus.

Knowing you are enough, allows you to let go of what no longer serves you or may even be blocking you as you take time to fully love you and release all judgement, then you can step into the abundance in any area of life that you desire.

Live with total integrity.

Be transparent, honest, and authentic. Do not ever waiver from this; white lies and false smiles quickly snowball into a life lived out of alignment. It is better to be yourself and risk having people not like you than to suffer the stress and tension that comes from pretending to be someone you’re not, or professing to like something that you don’t. I promise you: Pretending will rob you of joy.

STEPPING STONES TO PEACE

I need be anxious over nothing.

Understand that you do not respond to anything directly, but to your interpretation of it. Your interpretation thus becomes the justification for the response. That is why analyzing the motives of others is hazardous to you. If you decide that someone is really trying to attack you or desert you or enslave you, you will respond as if he had actually done so, having made his error real to you. To interpret error is to give it power, and having done this you will overlook truth.

Man can only receive what he sees himself receiving. - Florence Scovel Shinn

Miller's Law

From the days of William James, psychologists had the idea memory consisted of short-term and long-term memory. While short-term memory was expected to be limited, its exact limits were not known. In 1956, George A. Miller would quantify its capacity limit in the paper "The magical number seven, plus or minus two".

Christ's vision . . .

• has one law.
• looks upon ourselves as well.
• is a miracle.
• pictures Heaven, for it sees a world so like to Heaven that what God created perfect can be mirrored there.
• is the miracle in which all miracles are born.
• is the bridge between the worlds.
• is the holy ground in which the lilies of forgiveness set their roots.
• is His gift, and He has given it to me.

The truth is true, and nothing else is true.

"You can ask of the Holy Spirit, then,
only by giving to Him,
and you can give to Him
only where you recognize Him.

If you recognize Him in everyone,
consider how much you will be asking of Him,
and how much you will receive.

He will deny you nothing
because you have denied Him nothing,
and so you can share everything.

This is the way,
and the only way to have His answer,
because His answer is
all you can ask for and want.

Say, then, to everyone:
Because I will to know myself,
I see you as God's Son and my brother."

ACIM Ch.9.II.12

Abide in Truth

You must learn some one thing well. Compel yourself to be faithful to that one duty. Principles are eternal. This is your affirmation:

Choose Once Again ...

How do you make the choice?

Let us be glad that we can walk the world, and find so many chances to perceive another situation where God's gift can once again be recognized as ours!

The real world

Commitment

Although it's not always easy,
this is part of loving someone
unconditionally
with all your heart and
with all you have to give!

Think not the way to Heaven's gate is difficult at all.

Learn you search for Heaven, and must find the goal you really want. No one can fail to want this goal and reach it in the end. Seek for that door and find it. But before you try to open it, remind yourself no one can fail who seeks to reach the truth. And it is this request you make today. Nothing but this has any meaning now; no other goal is valued now nor sought, nothing before this door you really want, and only what lies past it do you seek. Lesson 131

AN UPLIFTING TREATMENT

I SEE YOU, (name), above, transcending your past. I see you unweighted, free; I see you as complete Spirit. Nothing can be added to you; nothing can be taken from you. I see you as health. You are one with universal health. Nothing can spoil universal health. It is God putting away disease. I see you as omnip¬otence. Nothing can defeat omnipotence. It puts aside weakness and shows me God work¬ing before me for you, and through you, and by you, for ever and ever. You face me as God, unweighted, unattached, unspoiled for ever and ever. I see you as wisdom looking toward me to speak by you of your heavenly wholeness and peace. I see you as peace. I see you facing me as peace that the world cannot take away. I see you as peace putting aside discord. God is showing peace now with its touch on your outer life at every point. You are free God becoming visible for my sake, that Truth may prevail.

"Act as though I were, and you will see I Am" DeWaters

The Kingdom of Heaven is here: we are now living in its Presence. If we are not conscious of it, then let us partake of higher understanding and more unselfish love. Light, laughter, joy, peace, and the glorious abundance and fullness of all-Good, all are here. By “grace this is so: thus, we have only to believe, accept, acknowledge and embody this wonderful and glorious Revelation, Freedom and Liberty which God continually bestows upon us. Lillian DeWaters.

Follow only the Voice of the One you know in-timately.

To look to "body," or "organs" for aught, is wholly to deny OMNIACTION. ACTION, FUNCTION, BEING does not identify Itself (Omnipresence) via any "thing," ... Truth identifies Itself as ONE OMNIPRESENT INFINITE SINGLE INDIVIDUAL TOTALITY ... This Pure One Being is PERFECTION ITSELF...This, and this ONLY is Your Very Mind, Identity, Be-ing now and always. This You (I-Am) has no past, no diagnosis, no future, no prognosis, no goal, destiny, plan, or way It must go, to BE THE ALL IT IS! Alfred Aiken ~ Bachelor God 187:4-18

You are not to worry about “any people, out there” although that may sound very “hard and difficult” to you, because it is within that you find The Christ, the Truth, and when you know the Truth you will be made free of the world of illusion. REGARDING THE WORLD OF APPEARANCES ~ Jane Woodward

The Truth shall set you free.

Growth comes by daring to risk more of the unknown than we are willing to risk. Dare it, venture it — and grow.
Declare,

Into eternity, where all is one, there crept a tiny, mad idea, at which the Son of God remembered not to laugh.

Growth comes by daring to risk more of the unknown than we are willing to risk. Dare it, venture it — and grow.
Declare,

I am entitled to miracles.

As long as we wonder whether a certain action can make us happy, it cannot do so, for we bring our still-divided mind into it. Vernon Linwood Howard

 You are entitled to miracles because of what you are.

You will receive miracles because of what God is.
And you will offer miracles because you are one with God.

"The New Colossus"

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

Let him who would enjoy a good future waste none of his present.
