Workbook Lesson: " The review for today covers Lessons 21 to 25"
"I am determined to see things differently." – It is a natural reaction to realizing we have been miscreating all over the place and are causing a lot of pain. Where we take the responsibility to want to see the truth above all else, we will.
"What I see is a form of vengeance." – I can not see clearly, my anger is against God and against the world, I chose free will and believe I disobeyed God. I now realize it was my misunderstanding, and God just started the game so we could play together.
"I can escape from this world by giving up attack thoughts." – It becomes clear that as I give up my thoughts of separation, I can escape this world of vengeance I have made, by giving up what I think, and being open to what God thinks.
"I do not perceive my own best interests." – It is very clear that I can't think straight, and that I have no concept of what is best for me, especially since I see a world of bodies, instead of the oneness that I am as the Son of God.
"I do not know what anything is for." – I am taking God's love and beauty and perfect peace and making weapons to hurt myself and to keep me from the Oneness of God, to keep the illusion of being separate from God.
Thinking it Over: Isn't it crazy and upside down, that the peace, love, and joy we want most we hide from, thinking we have the free will to make things however we want them. While it is so obvious that what ever we are doing ain't workin. There are none so blind than those that will not see. I know for me, the last thing I wanna look at, is anything that is gonna make me feel little and helpless and cause me pain. In other words, I don't wanna look at myself. What are you having a hard time looking at? Why?
Tips & Tricks: I'm finding these reviews to be a little up and down, some just bring me a sense of peace and others trigger me to no end. So, I am working on just accepting the process as much as I can and staying out of the judgment and criticism. When I can focus on the gratitude that the Course is working, it doesn't make everything all better, but it sure helps. It also helps when I remember why I started the Course in the first place. The reason I started the Course was I felt drawn to it and when I had stopped it for even a little while I would get the urging to keep going and pick it back up. I craved the miracle, and I was determined to achieve it.
Upon Closing: Yay, we did it, I think we are getting used to putting this puzzle together, I know I'm not as fearful as I was. A good part of that is being with you guys, I don't feel alone, I feel emotionally supported and it's fun, that we all reach to God at the same time. I am goin skinny dippen in creek, join me if you like. Have a blessed night. Love & Light, Riki 🌈
I'm getting confused of what is illusion? Are my fears of survival in this world an illusion? If yes, why are they an illusion?
ReplyDeleteYes your fears involving survival in this world are illusions because, we are not separate, there is no world, we are not really here, and we are one with God.
DeleteSo we are living within a dream, that tells us there is good and evil, right and wrong and so on. The way through the fears is to accept things as they are, and release all to God. Love and Light, Riki
