Workbook Lesson 19

 

"I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my thoughts."

 

Interpreted by Roberta Gallop

 

Daily Welcome:  Hey, yoohoo, over here. I wanna show you my favorite flower in the whole world, it is a wild yellow lady's slipper, oh so beautiful, and oh so rare, they had them where I grew up in Maine. The coolest thing about them is they don't have to do anything, except be and enjoy where God placed them. I am starting to learn the power of that in us. As I own myself in the fashion that God designed me to be, without all the crazy illusions, and layers and layers of perceptions. I see the love, truth, and oneness in us all. I hope the workbook lessons have been treatin ya kindly, and that you are gung-ho to get going to the next one like I am. I can't see what's down the road any further than you can, but I think it's a hoot to have you guys with me, together we can face anything. Love you guys.

 

Prayer: Perfect Christ, please help us to release all thoughts of separateness and differences. We know it is what keeps us from knowing and accepting your thoughts and not creating our own illusions. Please help us to stay open to the truth and release all judgment, period. May your blessed and Wholly Spirit guide us on our journey to you and supply us with everything we need. Thank you for creating us and thank you for teaching us. Allways.

 

Workbook Lesson: "I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my thoughts." It is interesting to me how the workbook talks about cause and effect not being separate, so things happen together, because I was just thinking about that as I had sent in the previous blog post and then saw this lesson and was freaking because I had talked more about the concept of this lesson in the previous one. I was able to calm down and say of course it's not separate, when it comes to God nothing is different. Like a while ago I was all confused about should I pray to Christ, God, or another aspect of God and the answer was we are all one, enter what ever door you wish it's the same house. Since we are one, and there is no differences, how could we have separate anything let alone thoughts, it's all part of the illusion.

 

Thinking It Over: I did in the beginning have a very weird feeling about everybody knowing my private thoughts and me knowing everybody else's, I just felt paranoid like I was being spied on all the time. But then with Christ's help I used it as a teaching tool and asked myself; What thoughts would I be ashamed for everyone to know? And then started listing them, because those are the places where I have resistances with myself, and they needed forgiveness. Stuff like I sucked my thumb until I was 16, or I still at age 68 sleep with the light on, all the lies I think that diminish my worth. What thoughts would you be ashamed to have us all know? Get started on that list baby.

 

Tips & Tricks: Take suggestions, from those who have gone previously. Like when someone says can I offer you a word of advice, don't bitch at them, give them tude or resistance. Just say thank you that they cared enough to offer help, and then ask the Wholly Spirit to give you the open-mindedness and willingness to do the suggestion, and then do it.

 

Upon Closing: Hi fellow students, today was a great day, the squirrel cage and the stick got a lot less use and that goes a long way for me. It's interesting when it comes to the Course, every time I go through it again new amazing stuff happens in my life. Also, a reminder to please stay vigilant because this is where the desire to stop doing lessons can show up, because it's, I tried it, and I am doing so well I need to take a few days off, boy am I exhausted, maybe I'll take a month off. When those thoughts come in, I reach to the Wholly Spirit to help me see things differently. As always, be gentle with yourself, keep on truckin and know we are in this together and you are sooooo  loved. Love & Light, Riki 🌈
