Daily Welcome:  Hi, my blessed friends. A happy continuation on this journey of eternity, releasing this version of self-will run riot and opening to the flow of everything, everywhere, all at once. Big group hugs my buddies and let's once again move on down the road. I so love your company and this spring air smells so fresh with hope and promise. Yay.

 

 

Prayer: My precious Christ, which is me when all the bones have been removed. Please help us to release these last vestiges of separation and awaken in the beautiful garden of light and sound that we never left, in the complete awareness of the wholeness and oneness of our Father. Thank you for teaching us and loving us every step of the way, and for guiding us allways.

 

Workbook Lesson:  "Review of Lessons 69 – 70"

 

"My grievances hide the light of the world in me." –  This is a place that had kept me stuck for a long time. Being in recovery I had prayed to God to remove my grievances I called shortcomings, but never got deep enough or responsible enough to realize I had to do the work so they could be removed, mainly surrender, release and forgiveness, to the point of forgetting everything. I would be very selective about what I forgot and what I didn't, and until I surrendered it all I kept "resenting" rethinking it over and over again and hide any hopes from truly knowing the light.

 

"My salvation comes from me." – My light is within me, God is within me. I am just playing a game and forgot that I am not a body. It makes for a rousing game of life, but it's taking awhile to let go. So, the question for all eternity is, who am I? Answering that question off and on gives me a sense of where I am, by watching my focus on material things, body things, or on energy and Christ.

 

 

Thinking it Over: So, with the realization that my salvation is within me, it allows me to move forward and share my focus as spirit with less focus on the world of body. Rising and shining as spirit or not, is a cute game. Oops I'm feeling a little too out of body and unstable, never fear I just tell myself how awful I am and how awful you are and within seconds, I am back to my timid, scared, stupid little sense of self? How do you play spiritual ping pong? Are you starting to realize there is a better way?

 

 

Tips & Tricks: Probably the biggest tip is just to remember balance. To learn and expand yes, but to be as gentle and loving with yourself as possible. Being kind allows us to practice acceptance and move that much closer to oneness. Realizing our journey with the Course has really nothing to do with us and everything to do with US. So, breathe a lot, sleep easy, eat healthy, smile happily. and know You are God. Please continue to do the workbook lessons in order, only one in a 24-hour period and to follow the exercises to the best of your ability. I have found as I continue to do the Course lessons my ability keeps changing, mostly for the better.

 

Upon Closing: That was a nice brisk walk and I enjoyed it immensely, it is kinda cool how the less I identity as body, the more our precious walks feel like a floating or mingling with a bigger focus on expansion of mind and a stronger sense of oneness. That said, I sure do enjoy the thought of skinny dipping in the creek, or heading over to the church potluck suppers, where everything is so darn yummy. I love the feeling of munching on fresh apple pie and cheese with my buddies washed down with cold cider chilled by the creek, and last but not least, laughing my ass off at the wonderful sight of us on costume days as we head mightily down the road to enlightenment. So, I guess I haven't let go of the body mentality as much as I thought I did. I do love our hanging out and the knowledge I am supported on so many levels. Please have a balanced day and restful night. See ya tomorrow. Love & Light, Riki 🌈
