Daily Welcome:  Good day my lovely's, I hope your night was restful and that you woke up raring to go. This lesson can be a lot of fun so let's get down and playful, and just enjoy our hike and all the little moments that comprise it. Maybe in this case I must confess my idea of fun could be a little bit askew, but the fun is actually finding the crap that we do to ourselves cause then we are open to having it undone. I always look forward to seeing your shining or not so shining faces, the Course can definitely become quite the roller coaster ride and it is so awesome to have my buddies to share it with. So without further ado, let's make like a tree and leave.

 

 

Prayer: My gentle Teacher, please help us to know your love and accept it into our being. Please help us to continue to pursue enlightenment and to be at peace with ourselves as we do. Sometimes the road feels so long and we get so weary, please send your Wholly Spirit to guide us along the way and remind us we are never alone, You are always with us so we couldn't be. We love you, and are so grateful to you for creating us, for experiencing life with us and above all for showing us the way out. Thank you for granting us the knowledge of your Wholly Will for us, and the power to carry it out, Allways.

 

 

Workbook Lesson: "My attack thoughts are attacking my invulnerability." I love how this lesson focuses on that the nasty angry thoughts I hold in my mind aren't attacking you, in fact they aren't doing anything to you, but they are causing me to attack me. Since we are one, if my mind is full of you, it is also full of me. So, if I'm saying stuff like, "you're so stupid, and I hate you soooo much you dumb bitch". Who do you think I am really talking to? Well, I'm saying these things to me, and it sure doesn't do much for my self-esteem, or sense of safety, because when you don't feel safe your world can become fearful very quickly. And I really doubt I let God get a word in edgewise.

 

Thinking it Over: I really became aware of this lesson when I was in Minnesota with my ex. and I was so upset with her about this and that, so I would run in the bathroom and just scream "that bitch", and many times a lot worse and I could really see the vicious cycle. How I would turn my attack thoughts of her on myself. Then I would be so angry at me, I would holler at myself as well, and make it a whole lot worse. What is your vicious cycle? Are you open to releasing it?

 

 

Tips & Tricks: The biggest tip here is don't beat yourself up for stuff you had no knowledge of or control over. That expression, "If I had known better, I would have done better" comes to mind, and be willing to get down on your knees with gratitude, that now you know better. I hurt so many people including myself while I lived my life in the vengeance phase, that I had to do a whole lot of surrendering, accepting and forgiving myself on all levels. So, another Calgon bath maybe is in order, and remember to call your support system if things start getting wonky. Also please remember that regardless of what sorta way you feel about the Course, please keep doing the lessons.

 

Upon Closing: Wow, this one did get a tad dicey, but we walked through it like we do everything else, together. Like I said previously please let's stay close, and focus on the good times, and happy hugs. Also, we've been at it for almost a month, how about that shit. That's a longtime, and you really get to know people when you bare your soul alongside them. I pray to the Wholly Spirit for ya like I do myself. Hugs y'all, and remember Spirit is not just stronger than everything, it IS everything. Gentle night and remember to do the lessons. See ya tomorrow. Love & Light, Riki 🌈
