A Course in Miracles
Workbook Lesson 97
"I am spirit"
Interpreted by Roberta Gallop
Daily Welcome: Welcome my sweet and blessing buddies, it's just so much fun and I truly do look forward to hanging out. We are just walking down that road, just chit chatting and talking about the lesson and time goes by and before you know it we're down at the end of the bridge and it's time to fly back up and have a sit for a while.
I remember how lonely doing the course could feel. I had been on the path for about 30 years before my teacher showed up, and I finally had someone to really learn from and share it with. So when it came time for me to teach, and do this blog of my interpretation of the lessons, this is why I chose the format I did, because I don't want anyone when they're doing the lessons to feel alone. That here I go stepping into this great big universe, and I don't have anyone there for me. I hope you've learned by now that I'm here for you, that we climb this mountain together. So, a big group hug my pretties and let's just move on down that road.
Prayer: - Blessed God, my Creator, I don't know you very well, but now that my mind is being decluttered and not filled with all that junk, I'm starting to know and be grateful you stuck around. I guess it's kind of funny to say sticking around, because we're made from you, so where could we go where you are not. Blessed and Holy Spirit please help me to get closer to you and to be the teacher you have made me to be. Thank you, Allways.
Workbook Lesson: "I am spirit" - When I think of this lesson it's like kinda coming at the previous one but from a different angle. The previous one talks about salvation coming from who we truly are and this one is telling me all we can be is spirit because that's all there is, everything else is an illusion. I get so much hope from this, and many times I have thought that all I am is just this little piece of something down here and I feel so lost and helpless, and this really helps to open my being to recognize that who I am is one with God. The freedom this brings just fills me right up, and I feel more connected to the Christ Consciousness and know I am never alone, because there is no separation.
Thinking it Over: It reminds me of when I was growing up there was just me and my brother and outside the house my dad had brought this great big mound of dirt and we were little and loved it so much. I could make so many wonderful things, houses, roads, people, and animals sometimes out of the sand. It was still all the dirt regardless of whether I said this is a house, and this is a road it was still all on the stand and that's how I see us when I think of we're all spirit. We are all the dirt regardless of the shape or implied function. This one looks like that, or that one looks like that. We're all made of the same stuff from the Wholly Spiritual universe God gave us to play in. What have you made from the dirt in your sandbox?
Tips & Tricks: Today's tip is about going back around and remembering what brought me to the course in the first place, and what motivates me to move forward. Because I found along the way that if I don't have some motivation, I won't do it. It's hard to make the commitment every day to do a lesson, and at certain times of the day to remember to do the suggested part. It takes motivation and conviction to want to do it, and especially when my mind is screaming this is stupid, this isn't right, and I just wanna burn the book and run. So, it's a really good practice to every once in a while, every month or so, or more frequently if I'm getting frustrated. To re-examine why I'm here and why I do this, because as my mind gets more ordered and I come more into clarity and sanity my motives change.
I can remember when I first got involved with the course my motives for doing it were just more about looking for a way out. I felt in my gut that this was a book that could help me get there, but I wasn't sure where there was, I just knew where here was, and here sucked. So, I've hit many different phases along the way and when I start feeling like I don't wanna do it, I just don't wanna do it, then it's a good time to remember, and if I have forgotten come up with another good reason why I do.
Upon Closing: - Well we did it one more day, one more lesson, and a little further down the road. This was a good one, the birds were singing, I could feel that beautiful coolish breeze on my face, and my buddies panting at my side, it doesn't get any better than that. Have an awesome day, a restful night and we'll see you again real soon. Love and Light, Riki🌈
