You are loved, far more than you think.
How does the mystic see humanity? In an entirely
different way from ordinary men and women. It is profitable for us also to see
people from a mystical viewpoint. It provides power.

This world is not your home.
The point of your life is to get to the point of
your life, so let’s get busy.
If you were meant for this world, the world would have made you happy,
but it hasn’t done so,
so see what that indicates,
it indicates that you were meant for something different
from this human inhabited planet that wobbles so badly.
So consider yourself a visitor,
consider yourself as someone who has an opportunity to understand this world,
really, very serious now,
this world is not your home,
this world is not a permanent thing.

In this season (Christmas) which
celebrates the birth of holiness into this world, join with me who decided for
holiness for you. It is our task together to restore the awareness of magnitude
to the host whom God appointed for Himself. It is beyond all your littleness to
give the gift of God, but not beyond you. For God would give Himself through
you. He reaches from you to everyone and beyond everyone to His Son's
creations, but without leaving you. Far beyond your little world but still in
you, He extends forever. Yet He brings all His extensions to you, as host to
Him.

Wouldn't it be tremendous …
“The Tao never does
anything, yet through it all things are done. If powerful men and women could
center themselves in it, the whole world would be transformed by itself, in its
natural rhythms. People would be content with their simple, everyday lives, in
harmony, and free of desire. When there is no desire, all things are at peace.” ~ Tao Te Ching
"I am as God created me.

I will forgive, and this will disappear.
This is the lesson God would have you learn: There
is a way to look on everything that lets it be to you another step to Him, and
to salvation of the world. To all that speaks of terror, answer thus:
I will forgive, and this will disappear. ACIM Lesson 193.13
The entire secret for an authentically successful life
can be stated very simply.

What the ego perceives with fear,
the
right mind
perceives with love.
“The body is a limit on love. The belief in limited love was its origin, and it was made to limit the unlimited. . . . it was made to limit you ” (T.18.VIII.1:2,3,4)

A Prayer for Enlightening the Mind
Enlighten me, good Jesus, with the brightness of internal light,
and take away all darkness from the habitation of my heart. Restrain my
wandering thoughts and suppress the temptations which attack me so violently.
Fight strongly for me, and vanquish these evil beasts—the alluring desires of
the flesh—so that peace may come through Your power and the fullness of Your
praise resound in the holy courts, which is a pure conscience. Command the
winds and the tempests; say to the sea: “Be still,” and to the north wind, “Do
not blow,” and there will be a great calm.

The Basis of Firm Peace of Heart and True Progress
The Voice of Christ
MY CHILD, I have said:
“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, do
I give unto you.”
The Imitation of Christ - Amazing Grace
"Amazing Grace" is a Christian hymn published in 1779, with words written by the English poet and clergyman John Newton (1725–1807).
Decide for me.
"Around you angels hover lovingly,
to keep away all darkened thoughts of sin,
and keep the light where it has entered in.
Your footprints lighten up the world,
for where you walk
forgiveness gladly goes with you."
