A Course in Miracles

Workbook Lesson 14

“God did not create a meaningless world.”

Interpreted by Roberta Gallop

 

Daily Welcome: Hey precious travelers, I pray you are well rested and happily motivated, because this is another one of those high energy days that promises to lead to all good things. The sun on our path is shining, birds are singing, and we have a very fresh and gentle breeze, it doesn’t get any better than that, except Heaven and that is where this road leads. I hope you are enjoying our time together; I know I do. Doing the Course can be sorta tricky, so it is a blessing to have my friends with me. It’s kinda like when you smell something bad and then say yuck this smells just awful, it will kill ya, here you smell it, and then hold it in a buddy’s face, togetherness. Let’s get a wiggle on, singing “all ya need is love, all ya need is love…”.

 

Prayer: Blessed Christ, thank you for creating us and for walking us home. Please help us to feel you and know you are with us. Please grant us the awareness to see, and the strength to keep on going even if sometimes we are resistant to continue. Please help us to know how glorious we truly are. Thank you for teaching us. Allways.

 

Workbook Lesson: “God did not create a meaningless world.” What I love about the Course, is just as soon as they rip the band aid off, while you are laid open and utterly bleeding everywhere, within a few lessons they are giving you the suave to heal the wound they just opened. Today is another one of those exciting days when you get a two-fer from my teacher. When he gets on a roll the miraculous truths of God start flying out, and I am honored I have his permission to share them with you. My teacher says, “Ascension is a natural occurrence when you think in correspondence with the reality of what God thinks.” (Rev. Devan Jesse Byrne, ACIMi, L14, ex.) I chose this quote because it gives me such hope that Ascension does happen naturally, when we think as God does, and we release and forgive our own thinking.

 

Speaking of our own thinking, this second quote from the Rev. sent chills coursing through my whole body. “You’re not seeing objects, your misunderstanding reality. God is there, but you are distorting Him, the word of God, into an object. You’re making the glory of God a pathetic box, a book, a computer, a wall, and you are completely misunderstanding the truth of what is reality. (Rev. Devan Jesse Byrne, ACIMi, L14, ex.) Well at this point I am left with a couple choices, I can either pull in, hate myself more, feel more guilt and shame continuing the cycle. Or run screaming to the Wholly Spirit begging to see things differently. Even as hard as stuff gets sometimes, I am reaching out to the Wholly Spirit, and I am getting some measure of serenity.

 

Tips & Tricks: Each day, each hour, each minute, release, forgive and trust. It’s not so much get frantic, freak out, and be neurotic about doing it right. It feels to be a more of an internal decision to reach, to believe, to understand. When I ask God to do for me what I can’t do for myself, I feel a whole lot better, like God’s got my back, my front and everything else. As you keep moving forward lesson after lesson, and not judging yourself or your progress, you stay open for wonderful things to happen. Please remember to do your lessons as suggested in the workbook, and connect to the Wholly Spirit in the morning and at night.

 

Upon Closing: How are you doin? How do you want to be doin? You have just got to two full weeks of the workbook lessons in the Course, and I am so proud of you to stick to it and joining me every lesson for a group hug and a joyous stroll. Sometimes we just need to stop, breathe, and ask for guidance from the Wholly Spirit. After all remember they are on this epic stroll with us, we are never alone. Let’s eat some apples from the apple tree in the corner and talk about the nice weather. Hugs all around. Love & Light, Riki 🌈
