Understanding of the Allness of the One.

 The Bible says, "Ask in the name of Jesus Christ." It means that in remembering Jesus you are remembering God.  The whole relationship of the Son to the Father lies in him.  His part in the Sonship is also yours, and his completed learning guarantees your own success.  Remember his promises, and ask yourself honestly whether it is likely that he will fail to keep them.  ACIM
The Bible emphasizes that all prayer is answered, and this is indeed true.  The very fact that the Holy Spirit has been asked for anything will ensure a response.  Yet it is equally certain that no response given by Him will ever be one that would increase fear.  It is possible that His answer will not be heard.  It is impossible, however, that it will be lost. ACIM

“Do not ask me to remove your fear,

Teach Us To Pray

"Our Father in the Heavens;

"Your Name must be being hallowed;

"Your kingdom must be being restored;

"Your will must be being done, both in Heaven and upon the Earth.

"Give us to-day our to-morrow's bread;

"And forgive us our faults, as we forgive those offending us, for You would not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from its evil." Charles Fillmore repeatedly referenced the Ferrar Fenton translation of the Bible. Perhaps the most unique and striking translation is Fenton's translation of the Lord's Prayer, which was referenced by Charles and Cora Fillmore in the Forward to Teach Us To Pray.

Reframe Your Story

"A healed mind does not plan.
 It carries out the plans that it receives
 through listening to wisdom that is not its own...
 It does not depend upon itself for anything except
 its adequacy to fulfill the plans assigned to it."

ACIM Lesson 135.11.1-2, 4

You use yourself rightly by not using yourself wrongly. Vernon Linwood Howard

Love makes all things easy.

“Don’t be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.”

Say Yes to the Yes and Yes to the No

Step gently aside. Life is a DREAM.

“The two worst things for a mammal are isolation and restraint” Porges

Too quick to action,
too slow to thought.
The sin of youth and
the penance of old men.

Guy Finley: Here is an encouragement, as well as a certainty for those who persist with their interior journey: Just as the sailor knows that a dead calm often precedes the onset of a set of winds to fill his sails, so can the aspirant who is patient in the face of a growing emptiness be assured that a whole new order of fullness is on its way.

Do not put your hope in this world.

I wish harm or sorrow to no one this day; all persons wish me well. My business is indwelt and surrounded by right action. The Knower in me gives me fresh, vital ideas; I meet nice people, make good contacts, close good sales because people like to do business with me. Frederick W(illiam) Bailes

Learn to Relax with Others by Releasing Yourself

Never place a period where God has placed a comma. Gracie Allen [Grace Ethel Cecile Rosalie Allen (1895 –  1964)]

Everybody is just as good as anybody else, even though they aren’t quite so smart. Gracie Allen

Allow the grace of love to carry you to the place where your dreams are manifested into reality. Hear the soft whisper of your soul and beckon to its call. - Abby Gooch

Happiness?

To be afraid is to have more faith in evil than in God. ~ Emmet Fox

Morty Lefkoe: Eliminate the barriers to achieving the results.

2015 is the year for the application of the ideas that have been given you.

Take a mental inventory of what you are thinking, feeling, doing, and saying, when it comes to your money, and your state of wealth and abundance. Replace phrases like, "I can't afford it" with

I can give up but what was never real.

"Whatever you think the world is withholding from you, you are withholding from the world." Appreciate when you feel underappreciated. You can give appreciation if you really have zero cash and zero credit. Appreciation for all creation. The air, the globe mallow and its delicate orange blossoms, the hard ground beneath your feet, the sun, the stars, the ripe fig, the rustling wind, the leopard print pillow, and the rude barista, the jarring television sounds, the confused Facebook page, the peeling paint, all of it. Express appreciation for all of it--the good, the bad, the ugly and remember that this is happening for you by you through you. Expressing appreciation is one of the most natural and empowering forms of expression--in whatever ways it shows up. appreciation for authors Robert Scheinfeld, Michael Roach, and Charles Eisenstein

"One of Loretta's self-discoveries shook her like an earthquake. She realized that she really did not want to go around helping people after all. She did so compulsively, because she thought it a sign of 'goodness.' But she finally saw that compulsive 'goodness' was only self-flattering egotism. She told me, 'You know, I actually resented my so-called generosity.'" Vernon Linwood Howard

A Course in Miracles says, “When you meet anyone, remember it is a holy encounter. As you see him, you will see yourself … for in him you will find yourself or lose yourself.” In time we can see how it went wrong, which means how you betrayed your truth – how you betrayed yourSelf (with the big “S”) by listening to yourself (with the lowercase “S”).

"After a long journey it is good to be back home again. Right?
You know that's where you should be.
Your mission is accomplished and now it's time to be home.

We're going to talk tonight about being in the right place internally. Being in our rightful, natural and spiritual home. And the first thing you must record in your mind is that there is only one home. That home is yours to find. Yours to live in. And you don't need a single outside influence or human being to find it. You don't need anyone." Vernon Linwood Howard

Thanksgiving Day, gratitude day, is coming soon in America, and just in time, in time, and why wait for apparent time to be grateful? Notice now: air, breath, table, flower, desk, chair, window, tree...

I love writing to the you in my mind, since I love mind, the creator of all. So, without choice, I love what its “I” imagines all of life to be and can only be. Byron Katie

Gabrielle Bernstein: #1 Tip for Thanksgiving

We must be like young eagles who dare to leave the nest because they have sighted the vast world beyond. Vernon Linwood Howard

Anger has no hold on you. Sadness never conquers you. Hatred will not rest in your bosom ever if your remember this: “My soul doth magnify the Lord.” ECH

I can give up but what was never real.

I sacrifice illusions; nothing more. And as illusions go I find the gifts illusions tried to hide, awaiting me in shining welcome, and in readiness to give God's ancient messages to me. His memory abides in every gift that I receive of Him. And every dream serves only to conceal the Self which is God's only Son, the likeness of Himself, the Holy One Who still abides in Him forever, as He still abides in me.

Father, to You all sacrifice remains forever inconceivable. And so I cannot sacrifice except in dreams. As You created me, I can give up nothing You gave me. What You did not give has no reality. What loss can I anticipate except the loss of fear, and the return of love into my mind? ACIM

"Take as a fact that fear is a gigantic hoax, then use all these truths to expose the hoax." Vernon Linwood Howard

Father, let me remember You are here, and I am not alone. Surrounding me is everlasting Love. I have no cause for anything except the perfect peace and joy I share with You. What need have I for anger or for fear? Surrounding me is perfect safety. Can I be afraid, when Your eternal promise goes with me? Surrounding me is perfect sinlessness. What can I fear, when You created me in holiness as perfect as Your Own?  Amen

Put all your faith in the Love of God within you; eternal, changeless and forever unfailing.

"The universe will give you what you need, against your best thought....When you do The Work and turn your thoughts around, you find advantages for what happens. You win if you're right, you win if you're wrong. In my life I always win, win, win, win..." ~ Byron Katie

I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my seeing. The idea for today is another step in learning that the thoughts which give rise to what you see are never neutral or unimportant. It also emphasizes the idea that minds are joined, which will be given increasing stress later on.

Today's idea does not refer to what you see as much as to how you see it. ACiM - Workbook Lesson 18

On the outside I am cool. Inside I’m having a heart attack.

Who would YOU be without the belief that this is terrible, terrible, terrible and something surely terrible, terrible, terrible will happen?

learn to ask for something new

Guy Finley: It's your life, your work, and at all times you receive from life what you sow into it; if you don't like what life is giving you, learn to ask for something new.

 “They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world:
someone to love,
something to do, and
something to hope for.” ― Tom Bodett

“Expect your every need to be met, expect the answer to every problem, expect abundance on every level, expect to grow spiritually.” ~ Eileen Caddy

“Find ecstasy in life;
 the mere sense of living is joy enough.”
 ― Emily Dickinson

When you are sad, anxious, feeling guilty
or otherwise tempted
know this need not be.

Say this to yourself as sincerely as you can,
remembering that the Holy Spirit will respond fully
 to your slightest invitation:

Please step in and rule this moment; Choose.

This practicing of the presence of a power beyond our present self places us in a new relationship within ourselves. By working to remember ourselves and our God in this fashion, we agree to forget our former relationship with who we have been and its legion of impossible demands. Guy Finley

To get back to happy co-creation with God we leave a space for the Holy Spirit to heal all the errors in our mind and get back to the happiness that is God’s will for us. Robin Duncan

THROUGH THE PRESENCE AND THE POWER OF GOD, DIVINE ORDER IS NOW ESTABLISHED IN YOU.  

Joy and Peace are still possible, right here, right now, no matter what’s going on.

 “Stop pretending that you are in bondage—stop telling yourself that lie! Stop pretending to be someone, or something! You are no one, you are no-thing! You are not this body or this mind. This body and mind exist within who and what you are. You are pure consciousness, already free, awake, and liberated. Stand up and walk out of your dream. I am here to say that you can do this.”

 ~ Adyashanti

“We always want someone else to change so that we will feel good. But has it ever struck you that even if your wife changes or your husband changes, what does that do to you? You’re just as vulnerable as before; you’re just as idiotic as before; you’re just as asleep as before. You are the one who needs to change, who needs to take medicine.”

 ~ Anthony De Mello

“Just sit there right now, don’t do a thing. Just rest. For your separation from God, from Love, is the hardest work in this World. Let me bring you trays of food and something that you like to drink. You can use my soft words as a cushion for your Head.”

Gemma Stone: Is your relationship with yourself based on love or fear?

Love is NOT a Test-Jennifer Hadley (I don’t believe God tests us, nor do I believe the Universe tests us. I have a friend that believes we are tested. But if you’ve studied ACIM, and we are the one who is dreaming of separation then who or what is there to test us. I’ve come to realize it’s a matter of degrees. Faith vs doubt. Love vs fear. And you really need to question every belief. That’s where the work of Morty Lefkoe and Byron Katie is helpful.)

The Ten Cannots of William John Henry Boetcker (1873–1962). Boetcker was an American Presbyterian minister and influential public speaker. He quickly gained attention as an eloquent motivational speaker, and is often regarded today as the forerunner of such contemporary "success coaches" as Anthony Robbins. Originally published in 1916 as a pamphlet entitled The Ten Cannots which emphasized freedom and responsibility of the individual on himself.

Without realizing it, your false identities were created and nurtured, and that has been the world, your world as you understand it to be. These unquestioned, judgmental, apparently unsafe worlds within are projected outward and can be very frightening, very stressful, and are the goblins that keep you from waking up from the dream. Byron Katie: How do you Boo yourself? And WHO are YOU without your BOO?

The biggest of our blocks and the one that hides the deepest is our fear of God (Love). While it’s the last of the obstacles to peace, it can and should be exhumed as soon as possible. Nouk Sanchez

What is the Christ?

A child of God is a magnet for all good things.

The universe is the handwriting of God, and it is both self-organizing and self-correcting. Where there is lack, the universe is already planning to remove it from your circumstances. That is the Law of Divine Compensation. The only thing that can deactivate the Law is if you have more faith in the reality of lack than in the reality of the Law.”
--- From The Law of Divine Compensation ---

Persist in the studies you began. Learn that you are loveable and so your quaintness's are loveable. If you understand Divine Love, you are a healing radiance among the people. ECH
