Workbook Lesson 43

 

"God is my Source. I cannot see apart from Him. "

 

Interpreted by Roberta Gallop

 

Daily Welcome:  Hi my sweet friends, getting ready to navigate a bend in the river can be stressful, the bend is not so steep that I can't kinda see what's coming up, but sometimes just the new scenery can make me nervous until I get used to it. The more I feel connected to God the better I do, and it is at times like this that remembering We see together makes a huge difference. I hope your night was blessed and you are enjoying the awakening of who we are. Big huggies and I love you guys sooo much. I am inspired by my adventurous friend Linky to have this day called backwards day. Let's put all our clothes on backwards and skip on down the road, learning how to embrace the innocence that we are. Ready, set, go.

 

Prayer: Our gentle Christ, We are still learning of you, please help us to enjoy the oneness and the exploring and play you bring to God. It makes me think of really enjoying being, doing, and exploring so deeply that we forget everything. Please help us to remember who we are. Please help us to not judge ourselves for playing with our Dad, having soooo much fun. Blessed and Wholly Spirit, please continue to guide us back to the place we started, the garden. Thank you for Teaching us, and loving us. Allways.

 

Workbook Lesson:  "God is my Source. I cannot see apart from Him. " This one is very direct as well, I love it cause it focuses on God being my source of everything, He created me, we are one, He is with me allways. I can't see without Him and I can't do anything without God. I can't see without God because God is all there is to see. God is everything I see. So, what tends to happen with us is the illusions we make distort the truth, so that we misunderstand everything we see, and we can't distinguish what God really is, us. I am in God, there is only God, slowly starting to accept that if we are made of God, we are inside God, and we can not see apart from God, then we are God, and just have an elusive thought that divides us from that knowledge. It's incredible that God had the thought of splitting His mind within us so that He could experience. I truly love the Course because it is logical and simple, I just tend to complicate it a lot, but even that is by design.

 

 

Thinking it Over: I had a cool thought today, since there is a part of me designed to believe I am not God, I am separate from God, and the Course teaches I can't be separate from God. What would it look like for me to just give up the illusion and accept I am God? I would feel like me, without the littleness and doubt, I would be all knowing and compassionate. How would you be if you knew you were God?

 

Tips & Tricks: Sometimes I find it's real important to just play, say to myself well I really am a God deciding to play and experience, and be. I can type on my PC, I can dance, I can make silly faces, I can make others laugh and I can use my senses to the fullest. The trick is to not get too caught up in the game that I am playing at the moment, and to remember that God and I are one, there is no separation. Also be gentle with yourself, a lot of times lessons like this can bring up resistances because we aren't ready to be anything more than less than. So that can bring on self-beating and judgement sessions that can leave us with a bigger need to forgive ourselves. The crazy shit I have done trying to hide this truth from myself, like laying on my bed for three years watching Netflix and trying to avoid my calling. Now I can think of nothing else, and wonder why I blocked the call in the first place.

 

Upon Closing: That was fun, I think I'm gonna take a dip in the creek before I put my clothes back on correctly, or the way I was taught anyway. Isn't it funny how there are so many things we do, and don't even question because we were taught to do them when we were little? I so completely enjoyed the pleasure of your company once again, please get lots of rest so we can get back at it tomorrow. If God wore clothes what would He look like? Me.  Love & Light, Riki 🌈
