A Course in Miracles
Workbook Lesson 61
"I am the light of the world."
Interpreted by Roberta Gallop
Daily Welcome: Hi fellow ACIM students, it is so much fun to learn and grow with you. Sometimes you call me your teacher and that makes me feel all gooey inside. It is a miraculous feeling to have been certified to teach by the one being I feel capable of teaching me. Then going on to have those I teach in such a beautiful and creative way by Spirit. Loving, hugging, being, caring and just plain enjoying the ability to share what I love most. Group hug you guys, and let's wear our fluffy pants and angel wings and move on down the road.
Prayer: My Glorious God, thank you for creating me and for playing the game of Wholly Spiritual Universe with me. It's kinda like the game of Life, but a lot more real. The best part is that you are playing with me, that my Dad is right here, completely loving me and being with me all the time. Please help me to feel you, please help me to remember you and to experience this joy of being so connected. Thank you for guiding us. Thank you for teaching us. Always.
Workbook Lesson: " I am the light of the world." – This one seemed to be a little hard to get at first, but when I sat with it, I started to understand that we shine our light onto the world, we project what we have in our minds outward into our world. So, it's up to me what I see. Is it anger, confusion, unhappiness, conflict, resentments, bitterness? Do I see bodies and layers and layers of illusion? Or maybe I see joy and peace, and love, and oneness, and the beauty of Heaven. Is the world full of hate, disease, pain, and rules and regulations, or judgement and criticism, smallness, weakness, and people? It is all in the focus of what light we put forward in the world, that determines the light. If I have obsessive thoughts of how everyone hurt me, and how awful my life is, and how mean and evil the world is, then that is all I will see. How I am victimized at every turn, how everybody just wants to hurt me and how I can't cope with anything.
Thinking it Over: Kinda like bad in, worse out. What I think is the light I project onto the world, so, when I am focused on separateness it is so amazing to me how the world reflects it. When I am filled with the joy of God and the beauty of the oneness of who we are then the world reflects that. Today I am projecting peace and understanding on the world. What are you projecting on your world?
Tips & Tricks: Listening to music and podcasts, watching movies and shows that help us to hold the world in a positive light, can make a difference in what we see. Because it helps us to hold lighter thoughts in our minds. Again, asking the Wholly Spirit can make a world of change, in helping us to truly see differently and shift our perspective. If you are addicted to binge watching Dexter maybe switch to binging flower arranging. Getting a nice rest and relaxing is so helpful, remembering it is a game that is by design and you can't screw it up.
Upon Closing: That wasn't so bad now was it? It was kinda nice to have only one puzzle piece to examine today, but I am sure we will be looking at a bunch at a time later on this month. It is ok to be exhausted or exhilarated, as the case may be. The ordering process can make me feel like I'm in a Vitamix at times, but when I mellow out and the peace of God is upon me, it totally makes it worth it. For a little rest, let's get out our easels and paint the Light of God. The idea feels peaceful and creatively fun. Something about projecting onto a blank canvas clearly turns me on and makes me feel so powerful. Please get your rest and connect to God regularly. Remember we are never alone. Love & Light, Riki 🌈
