A Course in Miracles

Workbook Lesson 93

 

"Light and joy and peace abide in me."

 

Interpreted by Roberta Gallop

 

Daily Welcome:  Hi, my study buddies, it is so wonderful to have you in my life, and to know that I get to play with the big kids and enjoy stuff as it is meant to be, and not the hell my distorted thoughts have turned it into. A Course in Miracles is such a pretty name that carries with it a great promise, and I do feel it is exactly what its name says, because I am growing in Spirit and as I do it is so nice to have others to share it with. So, let's have that big group hug I've been waiting for and once again, move on down the road in our comfy fuzzy slippers.

 

 

Prayer: Blessed Father, Sometimes I feel like I got this, and I take off down the hill running, and other times, I just feel so lost and confused, please guide me through the confusion and help me to see the light, peace, and joy that I really am. I so want to remember who I am and also to honor you in every step of this process and this awesome adventure you have gone on with me. I love you Father, please help me to grow in that love. Thank you for helping me, thank you for teaching me. Allways.

 

 

Workbook Lesson:  "Light and joy and peace abide in me."  -  This is one of my favorite lessons because it is so gentle and loving and it reminds me what truly does run the show, not bones and blood and flesh, or diplomas or wealth. Sometimes, I clearly and easily believe this, and other times I am so focused on the muck and mire of my illusions that I can't see past much. It's kinda funny, because Light, Joy and Peace certainly abide in me, it just has more to do with where my focus is whether I am in touch with it or not. I think it's important to point out this lesson is not stating that it may, abide in me, or that once a year on my birthday it abides in me, but that it abides in me, allways, period. No debate on who, where when or why, or if it should or shouldn't, because it simply is. Because it IS who I am, it is what I am made of. I also like to remember especially in the Course, when it talks about me, it is talking about the collective, not just I have it and you don't, because I am special and you aren't, or that God loves me best.

 

 

Thinking it Over:   Since I am made of Light, and joy and peace, it has really emphasized the need to find those places where I am resistant to releasing the distorted facts that I have based the identity of my little self on and forgiving and forgetting and enjoying the not thinking part. Cause when I am not caught up in the who I think I am, and just allow the true Me as Christ the Son of God to shine through that is when I am in touch with the Light, and joy and peace, which is my birthright. What resistances are preventing you from knowing your birthright, your true identity as the Son of God?

Tips & Tricks: I feel like I have been pushing the ACIM river for so long, it is an absolute pleasure to not fight or assume, or expect things to go a certain way, but just to go with the flow, not define and allow the mind ordering to take me where it does. It's kinda funny, you know when people say, "I lost my mind", As I get more involved with this process, I really do feel like I have literally lost my mind, or a good portion of it. Inside where my head used to be like Grand Central Station, it is now more like a beach in Tahiti. So, this mind ordering stuff works, especially when I just kick back and let it happen.

 

Upon Closing:  This was a lovely little walk down Spirit Path today, and it felt so good to have company. There is some cold apple cider down by the creek, and I made some yummy biscuits last night. Let's just kick back for a bit and contemplate our inner nature of light, joy and peace. Have a blessed and enjoyable day and a restful night. Love & Light, Riki 🌈
