If
we want to develop a mental attitude that will bring us peace and happiness,
here is Rule 1: Think and act cheerfully, and you will feel cheerful. ~ William James @pvrguy
"Someday
you will know what it means to die instantly to thought.
You will have no time-identity at all."
Vernon Linwood Howard
Before you judge another
person, or to see them as challenging, unloving, flawed, or less than whole, I
take a moment to see them as if they are “Jesus with AmnesiaTM”

I am the holy Son of God
Himself. I cannot suffer,
cannot be in pain; I cannot suffer loss, nor fail to do
all that salvation asks.
Yet what is it except a game you play in which Identity can be
denied? You are as God created you. All else but this one thing is folly to
believe. In this one thought is everyone set free. In this one truth are all
illusions gone. In this one fact is sinlessness proclaimed to be forever part
of everything, the central core of its existence and its guarantee of
immortality.
One holy thought like this and you are free: You are the
holy Son of God Himself.

"Imagine a group of people standing on an ocean
pier. One man falls into the water where he cries for help. All of the onlookers
immediately pull out paper and pencils and begin to write essays on how to save
a man struggling in the water. But along comes a sensible witness who throws
down a life preserver which saves the man. Only an individual with cosmic
consciousness can rescue struggling man. The others can only write and talk
about it." Vernon

"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? 4 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
have chosen." ACIM Ch.12.VII.5
"It is still up to you
to choose to join with truth or with illusion. But remember that to choose one
is to let the other go. Which one you choose you will endow with beauty and
reality, because the choice depends on which you value more. The spark of
beauty or the veil of ugliness, the real world or the world of guilt and fear,
truth or illusion, freedom or slavery; it is all the same. For you can never
choose except between God and the ego. Thought systems are but true or false,
and all their attributes come simply from what they are. Only the Thoughts of
God are true. And all that follows from them comes from what they are, and is
as true as is the holy Source from which they came." ACIM Ch.17.III.9
