Workbook Lesson 48

 

" There is nothing to fear."

 

Interpreted by Roberta Gallop

 

Daily Welcome:  Hey sweeties, another day, another lesson, more hugs and caring and we move on down the road again, getting ever closer to enlightenment. Hanging out is so much fun. That it makes it all worth it, I told my teacher today that my motivation is of course getting certified in the Teacher of Teachers program, but even more than that is you guys, spending time, giving support and not feeling alone. Time to go play race car around the track. You guys rock.

 

Prayer: Gentle and loving Father, please help, we know you are with us, we know you are our strength, but sometimes this world feels crazy and we don't always remember. Please grant us your strength to understand, your hope that we can make it to the end. And your sweet love, so we can find the love in ourselves. Thank you for helping us along the way, and thank you for being our teacher. Allways.

 

 

Workbook Lesson:  " There is nothing to fear." I think this lesson falls under the no shit category, because God is allways with me, I see with God, I think with God, and my strength is from God. So, I am sure there is nothing to fear. But it is a huge reminder when I am thinking with the little self, and I am not in touch with God's strength things can get very very brutal. I buy right into the helplessness, total victim, not special, no one loves me and can't find God anywhere. This lesson reminds us that there is never anything to fear, whether we are aware of it or not. When we are in that state of weakness all we need do is call on God asking for His strength and being open to it. I also ask the Wholly Spirit to help me see it a different way. When I am in that acceptance that there is nothing to fear I feel the peace of God, I know that God is in His Heaven and all is right with the world.

 

Thinking it Over: Now that I am deeper into the Course I don't seem to get as scared as I used too. The weird thing was my ego mind knew what my fear triggers were and would systematically wake me up at around 2 or 3, and start right in. You're sick, you are weak and pathetic, you will be alone, no one cares, you are so ugly no one would ever want you, you are going to die penniless on the street. By the time it got done with it's rant I was a crying shaking mess. Since I am stronger in the Course and doing my releasing and forgiving the fear doesn't get the foot hold it used to have. What are your fear triggers?

 

 

Tips & Tricks: By now we are starting to get into a beautiful routine of meeting up, doing the lesson, thinking about the questions, getting tips along the way, and I am starting to feel real good about the flow of things I hope you are too. I know life and the ego sometimes conspire to get us to shift things up, but as much as you can please connect to the Wholly Spirit when you awake, then do your lesson as soon as possible. Sometimes having a journal of your journey is a good idea. Also think about writing the exercises for the day on a card or paper so you have something right there when you need it. Read this blog if it helps and do your connecting at night. And if you get out of the rhythm, don't get upset with yourself. Just be gentle  and trust God.

Upon Closing: I am so pleased with our progress, and I am glad that we ain't just saying we're doing it, we are actually doing it, and doing it together. Today was a busy happy day in ACIM land, we kept a good pace and it felt like we are a tight knit unit. Please remember to do your lessons, remember you are not alone, never, and that we have friends in high places. Have a peaceful night, and we will see ya tomorrow.  Love & Light, Riki 🌈
