“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.
From
where you stand, you can see no reason to believe there is a
brilliant light hidden by the clouds. The clouds seem to be the only
reality. They seem to be all there is to see. Therefore, you do not
attempt to go through them and past them, which is the only way in
which you would be really convinced of their lack of substance. We
will make this attempt today.
After
you have thought about the importance of what you are trying to do
for yourself and the world, try to settle down in perfect stillness,
remembering only how much you want to reach the light in you
today,–now! Determine to go past the clouds. Reach out and touch
them in your mind. Brush them aside with your hand; feel them resting
on your cheeks and forehead and eyelids as you go through them. Go
on; clouds cannot stop you.
If
you are doing the exercises properly, you will begin to feel a sense
of being lifted up and carried ahead. Your little effort and small
determination call on the power of the universe to help you, and God
Himself will raise you from darkness into light. You are in accord
with His Will. You cannot fail because your will is His.
Have
confidence in your Father today, and be certain that He has heard you
and answered you. You may not recognize His answer yet, but you can
indeed be sure that it is given you and you will yet receive it. Try,
as you attempt to go through the clouds to the light, to hold this
confidence in your mind. Try to remember that you are at last joining
your will to God's. Try to keep the thought clearly in mind that what
you undertake with God must succeed. Then let the power of God work
in you and through you, that His Will and yours be done.
Lesson
69
My
grievances hide the light of the world in me.
Within your mind is a world of equity and harmony. This thought world it is your privilege to externalize. Remember this text: “Thou shalt decree a thing and it shall be established unto thee.” ECH
Do
you believe that your thoughts, feelings and intentions create,
manifest or attract your reality?
"Healing occurs as a patient begins to hear the dirge he sings, and questions its validity."(Pamphlet.2.VI.1.5) The first step is to tune into what we are thinking, and the second step is to question our beliefs.
