spiritual truths are impractical for earthly affairs are merely evading their
inner dishonesty." VH

Wisdom Treatment
I have never, as the judgement of Jesus Christ, accused the
world, or myself, of being foolish or ignorant.
I am not the result of
inheriting foolishness and ignorance. I inherit the wisdom of God,
my Father.
I am not surrounded by a
foolish and ignorant race. I am surrounded by the wisdom
of God.
My daily associations do not
burden me and darken me by the weight of their foolishness, or the darkness of
their ignorance. All is wisdom, from which I
draw wisdom in every moment.
I do not weigh down my own
mind with wilfulness in thinking evil. I know no weakness or failure
in any part of my being. I am the spiritual light that
cannot fail.
I do not persist in thinking
of myself as faltering or feeble in any part of my being. I see myself as
strength, freedom and light.
My strength is Good, and
cannot be threatened with weakness, or yield to weakness, in any part of my
being.
My life is Good. It cannot be
threatened with death in any part, nor fear death, nor yield to death.
My health is that of the
Spirit and cannot be threatened with disease and sickness, nor fear disease and
sickness, nor yield to disease or sickness in any part of my being.
I am ready to acknowledge to
all around me, and to myself, that I am every whit whole.
In the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, I pronounce myself healed, now and
forever.
Amen!

As your function in Heaven is
creation, so your function on earth is healing. God shares His function with
you in Heaven, and the Holy Spirit shares HIS
with you on earth.
As long as you believe you have two functions, so long will you need
correction. For this belief is the DESTRUCTION
of peace, a goal in direct opposition to the Holy Spirit's purpose. You see
what you expect, and you expect what you invite. Your perception is the result
of your invitation, coming to you as you sent for it. Whose manifestations
would you see? Of whose presence would you be convinced? For you will believe
in what you MANIFEST, and as you look out so will you see in. Two ways of
looking at the world are in your mind, and your perception will reflect the
guidance you chose.
(ACIM,12,VII,4.7-5.6)
Children
of Light, you know not that the Light is in you. And you will find it through
its witnesses. For having given light to them, THEY WILL RETURN IT. Everyone you see IN light brings YOUR light closer to your OWN awareness. Love always leads to
love. The sick, who ASK for love,
are grateful for it, and in their joy, they shine with holy thanks. And this
they offer you, who GAVE them joy.
They are your guides to joy, for having received it OF you, they would keep it. You have established them as guides to
peace, for you have made it manifest in them. And SEEING it, its beauty calls you home.
(ACIM,13,VI, 10.1-10.9)
Atonement teaches you how to
escape forever from everything that you have taught yourselves in the past, by
showing you ONLY what you ARE NOW. Learning HAS BEEN accomplished, BEFORE
its effects are manifest. Learning is therefore IN THE PAST, but its influence DETERMINES
the present, by giving it whatever meaning it holds for you. Your learning
gives the present NO MEANING AT ALL.
Nothing you have ever learned can help you understand the present, or teach you
how to undo the past. Your past IS what you have taught yourselves. LET IT ALL GO. Do NOT attempt to understand ANY
event, or ANYTHING, or ANYONE in its light, for the light of
darkness, by which you TRY to see,
can ONLY obscure. Put no confidence
at all in darkness to illuminate your understanding, for if you do, you CONTRADICT the light, and thereby THINK you see the darkness. (ACIM,14,
XI,3.1-3.9)
If, therefore, you constantly dwell upon that which is selfish
and debasing, you will ultimately become selfish and debased; if you ceaselessly think upon that which is pure and unselfish,
you will surely become pure and unselfish. James
Allen
It takes a tremendous amount of energy when you try to be
someone you're not.
When you think and live as if you
have to be someone other than who you truly are, it means you don't have a
clear awareness of your own identity. In essence, you are rejecting yourself --
and this is a sure path to unhappiness.
When your thoughts, motivations, actions
and feelings originate from a foundation of thinking "I'm not good
enough", ironically that "reality" is what gets reflected back
to you. The way to break through this circular pattern is to realize that
you've been listening to a lie. Once you understand this, you will know on a
deep level that you are enough and that what you thought you lacked you already
have.
Identify an area of your life that you
think needs "fixing". For one week, rather than rejecting it, embrace
this aspect of your life exactly how it is.
Shifting your focus shifts your reality.
When inner conflicts dissolve it is natural for your actions to align with your
authentic self.
