Workbook Lesson 65

 

"My only function is the one God gave me."

 

Interpreted by Roberta Gallop

 

Daily Welcome:  Hey my loves, thanks for showing up, in some ways this expanding and awakening process is soooo awesome and in others it will test you every which way including loose. I have so much admiration for my teacher because he didn't just walk through the process of ascension, after achieving it he came back to show others how to do it. It is a strong motivation for me to continue on this path. You are my motivation too, because I get to help, I get to show by my humble example and I can feel inspired and useful. I love you guys so much. Let's move on down the road arm in arm, going for it, together.

 

 

Prayer: Dear Father I am in pain, please help me to know the truth, please show me the way home no matter what. Please use this emotional pain to heal and motivate me. Please lay me open that I may see my innocence, and know there is nothing to fear, ever. Please guide me so that I may know the truth, and at those times when the darkness threatens to swallow me whole, remind me I am not alone and never have been. Thank you for showing us the way home and for teaching us every step of the way. Allways.

 

 

Workbook Lesson:  "My only function is the one God gave me." This lesson like the previous ones has us look at what God has created for us to do, versus the desires of the little self. Especially when it comes to the goals, we have used to define us. The only function I have is to awaken and awaken the world. Bringing the light to the world, by releasing all the goals and definitions I have set for myself. I remember watching Steve Martin in "The Jerk", and as he was extremely upset and leaving his house, he kept coming up with things he needed before he could leave. "I don't need anything except this lamp, I don't need anything except this lamp and this table, I don't need anything except this lamp and this table and this…" It so reminds me of how I keep adding things to define my purpose. And with each thing I add, there are new expectations of what I need to fulfill it. With each new layer I get further from my true function as light bearer.

 

 

Thinking it Over:  This lesson made me take a deep look at the many decisions I make, and how any decision other than releasing myself to God to use me as it be His design for me, will just keep covering up my function. The thing that gets to me is that many of my goals are what I consider healthy and right and helpful, but because they are made by my little self, they are not in alignment with my function of salvation. Wanting to be the best ACIM teacher, wanting to author books, can be against my divine function. The only way I know the truth is to let go and let God guide me in every way. Where do your goals and your divine function collide? How might you release your self-defined goals?

 

 

Tips & Tricks: Sometimes when we don't know the best way through something is to pray to the Wholly Spirit to help us see things differently. To ask for the clarity to know the next right thing, and the strength to do it, whatever it is, whatever it takes. At those times of deep triggering or internal crisis, please recognize it is by design so that you can release the obstacles in the way of ascending. That the Wholly Spirit is not doing it to be cruel, but to help you accept and move on. The fact that you could get that triggered by a situation shows the power it has to keep you stuck here. So, surrendering, thanking and being grateful can go a long way.

 

Upon Closing: That was fun, it was an intense walk today, but a good one. I would like to know why the sharpest turns bring the highest rewards. Maybe a nice lay in the grass and pick out cloud pictures would be just the ticket. I see a giraffe wearing a tutu, and also a snake biting its own tail. What do you see? Have an awesome day and gentle night, see ya tomorrow my precious buds. Love & Light, Riki 🌈
