Grounding
and arise from the dead,
and Christ will give you light. Ephesians 5:14
We will not end this year without the gift our Father promised to His holy Son. We are forgiven now. And we are saved from all the wrath we thought belonged to God, and found it was a dream. We are restored to sanity, in which we understand that anger is insane, attack is mad, and vengeance merely foolish fantasy. We have been saved from wrath because we learned we were mistaken. Nothing more than that. And is a father angry at his son because he failed to understand the truth?
“Christmas has little magic in it when we are just looking backward to worship the child in the manger. Magic is found by looking forward to that day when our own Christ Child may unfold in our lives—a time to look inward to Its presence, right now.”
COOL! In 1978 I was finishing University and hadn't decided on a career yet. (Programmed mainframe computers for 25 years.) I discovered ACIM which led to New Thought which led to this blog.
I once saw an organizational chart for a company for new employees. At the bottom there was a box that said “You are here.”
I thought Hawkins “Map of Consciousness is like that”.
“My Father,” implies that you have a Creator Who brought you into existence. Your Creator loves you deeply, and His only Will is that you feel joy.
Father, we do not know the way to You. But we have called, and You have answered us. We will not interfere. Salvation’s ways are not our own, for they belong to You. And it is unto You we look for them. Our hands are open to receive Your gifts. We have no thoughts we think apart from You, and cherish no beliefs of what we are, or Who created us. Yours is the way that we would find and follow. And we ask but that Your Will, which is our own as well, be done in us and in the world, that it become a part of Heaven now. Amen. (ACIM, W-189.10:1-10)
Simply do this:
I have physical expression, but am not body.
I have never seen my friend, nor has he beheld me. I have never even seen myself. Matter has been seized upon by the life-forces,—or mind,—and built up into a form of sensuous expression. All potency resides in spirit, and all material organisms are the products of its orderly energy. Life sets up its own animated statues with perfect correspondence. The color and tone of mentality come out in every form and feature. Every mental picture of the past is trying to outwardly embody itself, even though years have intervened. It is infallible law that we show forth, and are, the total composite of past thinking. Let us put away pride, and admit that all primary causation is from within. We charge our ills to the weather, water, air, climate, draughts, dampness, work, cold, bacteria, malaria, and contagion. These may be occasions, but our receptivity is the primary and real cause.I deny the rule and tyranny of body, but affirm its utility as a servant and instrument. I will think such things as I wish embodied.
Into eternity, where all is one, there crept a tiny, mad idea, at which the Son of God remembered not to laugh. (ACIM, T-27.VIII.6:2)

A study of laws and methods for obtaining individual
happiness, success and power through the silent force of thought.
Phineas Parkhurst Quimby was the greatest healer America has ever known. He was clairvoyant, and he would read the contents of the mind of an individual, tell him the cause of his sickness. At least over 60 percent of the people who came to Quimby were sick because of false religious beliefs. He attributed this guilt, fear, and things of that nature engendered by the church.

Modern Spiritualism, which held that the spirits of former humans could communicate with the living, originated in Hydesville, New York, in 1848,
You are being blessed by every beneficent thought of any of your brothers anywhere. You should want to bless them in return,
"Over a half century ago, while I was still a child, I recall hearing a number of old people offer the following explanation for the great disasters that had befallen Russia:
“THE CHANGES which take place in your life as a result of your changed concept of yourself always appear to the unenlightened to be the result, not of a change of your consciousness, but of chance, outer cause, or coincidence. However,
My
“Consciousness” is My “Mental Traffic Cop.”
It constantly regulates the outward, and in-coming THOUGHT TRAFFIC in me.
THE SUB-CONSCIOUS REALM is the marvellous Store House; the Garden of my SOUL

LAW in action – LIVES to out-picture, or express itself in my soul, body and

VII. Distortions of Miracle Impulses (ACIM, T-1.VII)
Your distorted perceptions produce a dense cover over miracle impulses, making it hard for them to reach your own awareness. The confusion of miracle impulses with physical impulses is a major perceptual distortion. Physical impulses are misdirected miracle impulses. All real pleasure comes from doing God’s Will. This is because not doing it is a denial of Self. Denial of Self results in illusions, while correction of the error brings release from it. Do not deceive yourself into believing that you can relate in peace to God or to your brothers with anything external.
"Heaven is not a place nor a
condition.
It is merely an awareness of perfect Oneness,
and the knowledge
"Write it on your heart
that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day
who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.
Although it's not always easy, this is part of loving someone unconditionally with all your heart and with all you have to give...
