A Course in Miracles
"Workbook Lesson 86"
Interpreted by Roberta Gallop
Daily Welcome: Hey my sweet and cuddly buddies, we have become old pros at this and are moving along oh so nicely. The moving along together is the fun part, and having our minds ordered is an awesome side benefit. Just hangin in not defining and blessedly accepting everything without question. I am doing pretty good with the accepting part, but it's the without question that I get stuck on over and over again. So, after big group hugs we head on down that road again confident in our vow to hang in no matter what.
Prayer: My beloved Father, I get so so confused and just when I think I am getting it, I start becoming so aware that I have a lot further to go. Please help me get there, please help me forgive my ass off, in all the right places so I can feel, know, and be the oneness. I know with you all things are possible, please help me hang in for the miracles that bring me closer to you. Thank you for guiding us and thank you for teaching us, allways.
Workbook Lesson: "Review of Lessons 71 – 72"
"Only God's plan for salvation will work." – This little ditty, really makes ya think a whole lot, and puts an end to the idea of who is the holiest, and the most spiritual, because it doesn't have anything to do with salvation. God's plan is already in place, how it happens when it happens and what part we play in the happening. It reminds me of a kind of game I saw years ago at the world's fair I think. There was this huge marble display and different structures and conveyor belts that brought the marbles to different places within the display, and at some point only known by God a marble would drop in the right place at the right time, that totally collapsed the whole display. I haven't thought of it in years, but when I think about it now and it sure fits. A thought that has crossed my mind before is the marble that collapsed the display did not know it would be the one, it was just another marble on a conveyor belt, doing what it was programmed to do.
"Holding grievances is an attack on God's plan for salvation." – When I am caught in resistances, I am saying I know better than God how things are supposed to go, I am also saying I have some kind of control over things which clearly isn't true, I just think I do, and even that way of thinking is all part of God's plan for me. So, my staying in grievances is like a little kid having a temper tantrum and not wanting to go home quite yet.
Thinking it Over: I love these two lessons together in review because the truth couldn't be any plainer or in your face. God has the only plan for our salvation that works and we attack His plan by holding grievances. So, this really puts it right back on me, to put my money where my mouth is. Do I wanna ascend or not? Do I want to save the world or not? Do I want to return to oneness or not? More than anything else? Taking responsibility for my programming, I am aware of it, I am aware of the experiencing game. So, the question becomes now what?
Tips & Tricks: Like Alice said the further she got down the rabbit hole, "curiouser and curiouser". In my humble opinion this Course is not for weenies in any way shape or form, ya gotta want it, and you gotta want it BAD. Knowing that this way of mind ordering will lead you to awakening and the releasing of self, and doing it anyway, shows clearly a set of some big hairy balls. Please remember to take care of you, and realize the bottom line, which is that you are the Son of God and therefore innocent no matter what you think or have been programmed to believe to the contrary. Being able to see this as a miraculous learning experience of make believe between father and son can make the flow go a lot easier.
Upon Closing: Wow another day and another new awareness, sometimes they sink in easy and sometimes it takes a while, but I am always grateful for the signposts that show me I am on the right track. Today has been a chill time with my friends and fellow students and it just makes it all worth it. Have a blessed day and peaceful night, and I'll see ya again tomorrow.
Love & Light, Riki 🌈
