A Course in Miracles

Workbook Lesson 53

 

" The review for today covers Lessons 11 to 15

 

Interpreted by Roberta Gallop

 

Daily Welcome:  Blessed day, gorgeous students of the Course, I hope your night was restful and your breakfast was yummy. I did a lot of reaching to the Wholly Spirit this morning and praying to just become and accept who God would have me be. These reviews are good, they can become a little unsettling though as the puzzle pieces are put into place. So today is a leisure suit Larry day, just dress fashionable casual, sweats are a must. Love and hugs you sweet buddies and let's keep on truckin, but at a casual pace.

 

Prayer: Blessed Christ, thank you for letting us play in the pool too. Sometimes, especially while I am going through life's lessons, I'm not always that keen on being the barbie doll, but at other times when I feel the love, and know I am helping to awaken the world, being a barbie doll has its benefits. Please grant us what we need to see the truth, to realize we never left the garden, and that we are all one, and a powerful creator like Daddy. Thank you for guiding us. Thank you for teaching us, and for making life fun. Allways.

 

Workbook Lesson:  " The review for today covers Lessons 11 to 15"

 

"My meaningless thoughts are showing me a meaningless world." – My thoughts are without meaning because they are illusions, and since we can only make fake images, fantasies, the world we see is meaningless. It isn't real.

 

"I am upset because I see a meaningless world." – Being in a fake world really screws me up, it was a vague feeling something was very wrong, but had no idea what it was. I felt anxious and unable to settle down and relax.

 

"A meaningless world engenders fear." – Because I couldn't settle down, I was little and fearful all the time. I felt trapped and so scared because I knew something was very wrong, but I couldn't fix it, and other people just thought I was nuts for questioning it.

 

"God did not create a meaningless world." – A huge sigh of relief, God's world has meaning, so I must be looking at this completely wrong. And if I reach to God, I can find the world that does make sense to me.

 

"My thoughts are images that I have made." – So, my little mind thinks the thoughts that made the images, over and over again. And this is what has made all the illusions and fantasies and also why the world I see has no meaning.

 

Thinking it Over: This got me to thinking about my best fantasies, they aren't real, but they sure were fun at the time. Like I was gonna have 10 babies and 10 cats, I was gonna be an international psychic and people would pay thousands of dollars just to have me read them. I was also gonna have houses all over the world. It blows me away to realize yes, that was a fantasy, but so was everything else. What is your fantasy within a fantasy?

 

 

Tips & Tricks: I have found finding out I was on fantasy island is one thing, but to get me to give it up was like trying to take a sirloin steak away from a bull mastiff. I am very addicted to my fantasies, and even though I knew they weren't real, and I used them to keep me from God, the fear of trusting what the Course was teaching me, brought up so much anxiety. Please just believe in the process, and let it happen in God's time. When we try to "fix it", we just dig ourselves in deeper. Acceptance is the answer, just going with the flow and not getting caught up in the details.

 

Upon Closing: Wow, that was so much fun, it seemed like when we went at an easy gentle pace, everything just fell in line, and we were turning the last bend before we knew it. You guys make all the difference for me, because it is one thing to learn the lessons for myself, but it is another thing to share my Love for God along the way. May your night be a nice piece of chocolate cake, with chocolate ice cream and rainbow sprinkles. Hugs. Love & Light, Riki 🌈
