Workbook Lesson 28

 

"Above all else, I want to see things differently."

 

Interpreted by Roberta Gallop

 

Daily Welcome:  Ahoy Maties, I always love the time just before you arrive, it's like I'm waiting there and then all of a sudden I see ya coming over the hill and we run together and give big hugs to get us moving on to the next right lesson. Have you started to experience the miracles? Those beautiful changes in perception that bring about the coolest goodies. Today is dress up day, so dress up as the spiritual figure who most inspires you. (I hope I got his hair, moustache, and beard right) I'm praying some of him rubs off on me. I love being spontaneous, lots of times if I do it quick it takes awhile for the ego to ruin it for me. Please make sure you're taking care of yourself, rest, food, and prayer go a long way. Let's waddle like a duck to the next lesson down the road. (Can you imagine my teacher waddling?)

 

 

Prayer: My peaceful Friend, please show us how to live as you intended for us too, awake, aware, and happy to feel you allways there. Help us to release everything that keeps us in the fantasy, and from seeing the truth. Through the Wholly Spirit please teach us the ability to forgive and help us to grow a compassionate heart. You are so kind, and please help us to know you are with us and we are never alone. Thank you for teaching us, and granting us knowledge of your will and the power to carry it out. Allways.

 

 

Workbook Lesson: "Above all else, I want to see things differently." So, now we get more specific, I not only want to see above all else, I wanna see things differently, the way they truly are. I want to be cleared in such a way that I not only know the truth, I see the truth. I also love the way the Course does not go into specifics of what you might see, because then it would just leave the door open for more definitions, expectations, script writing, and illusions. It also is a deep admission of acceptance that I know seeing things as they are has created this whole problem, and that I want out of the world more than anything.  By becoming open to see things differently it starts preparing me to be willing enough to go to what ever lengths and changes in my thinking necessary I have to so I can see. This is one that has taken time for me to digest, little baby steps over and over again, and like I said yesterday, the more I can see, even start to see the benefits, I desire to see more than anything else.

 

Thinking it Over: I thought about this quite a bit, which thoughts of mine are so glaring that I would do anything to see differently? I think thoughts about my unlovability is a big one because it produces so much fear. Also, thoughts where I am comparing myself to other people and losing. What areas would you like to see things differently?

 

Tips & Tricks: This time the tip centers around keeping a journal, as the Wholly Spirit keeps tinkering with our thinking, making illusions, and my perceptions and feelings keep changing it has been extremely helpful to have a place to write stuff down and sort things out. Sometimes I would even put down new insights that I wake up with or that I get a long the way. It's also helpful for those times I would get so angry, even rageful and I needed a way to release the feelings so I wouldn't hurt anyone, including myself.

 

Upon Closing: What a day, that beard got awful itchy by the time we got done, I can understand why my teacher scratches his. But as usual I couldn't have got through it without you guys, the smiles, the laughs, the understanding looks just as I'm thinking about throwing the towel in. This time through the steps for me is continuing to produce huge changes, all for the best, but your love and hugs sure get me through. Please have a blessed and restful night, remember to keep the Wholly Spirit in your pocket and remember you are soooo  loved.  Love & Light, Riki 🌈
