A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 100

A Course in Miracles

Workbook Lesson 100

 

"My part is essential to God's plan for salvation."

 

Interpreted by Roberta Gallop

 

Daily Welcome:  Hey you guys, group hugs and moving on down the road, is starting to become a routine at this point, a pretty wonderful one. It makes the course go a whole lot easier and I don't feel quite so alone. When it comes to this lesson I know my mind is thinking backwards, so let's just have a backwards day. You can wear anything you like, just make sure you're putting it on backwards. It's pretty simple, it may make the going a little slow, but it sure will be funny to  watch the guy in front of you. So, let's have that big beautiful group hug and get on down that road.

 

 

Prayer: Dear God, please help me in every way possible to see the truth of who I really am, of how you made me to be and to be able to accept it. I want so much to awaken the world. Please guide me and help me to have the motivation and willingness to keep going, to keep trusting, no matter what I've been told. And most of all please help the lessons I go through to be able to help those that come along with me cause that's what makes it all worthwhile.  I love you, thank you for guiding me and teaching me along the way. And thank you for being with me allways.

 

 

Workbook Lesson:  "My part is essential to God's plan for salvation." - This lesson has been quite a stumbling block for me, because I have a tendency to play little. I learned that coming from a negative upbringing, and the messages that I was taught, the thoughts that filled my mind were about how awful I am, that I would always be alone, and I would have to try twice as hard to be half as good. So, when I come across a lesson that's telling me that my part in awakening the world is essential to God's plan, I wanna say BS. How could someone as pathetic and worthless like me possibly have any part in God's anything? He turned his back on me years ago. So, it's this kinda crazy mind thinking that has really cost me a lot of trouble when it comes to just having the faith that God created me the way I am, and he created me to help save the world.

 

Thinking it Over: I've been doing the course for a long time, and I'm starting to have a little bit better self esteem than I did in the beginning and my mind is I'd say maybe 1/3 ordered at this point, So the thought that I could be used in this fashion, isn't as big a stretch as it used to be. I'd say when it comes to keeping it real the thing that's helped me the most applying this lesson is forgiving myself and releasing the resistances and just accepting things the way they are. It's slowly dawning on me, that The Who I am is far different than the whom I was taught I was growing up. Asking why wouldn't God use me is a real good start. It helps to target those places where I am having blocks. So why wouldn't God use you?

 

 

Tips & Tricks: A little tip here is that this kind of thinking, this way of getting in there would really stir up some hornets nests for me, so it's a good place to be gentle with yourself and realize God probably knows a hell of a lot more than all of us combined. I just know that this is a place where my ego went nuts, and I came pretty close to closing the book a couple times at this point. So being gentle with myself, remembering to eat well, drink well, rest well, connect to the Holy Spirit a lot are all good ways to have the faith to stick in there.

 

Upon Closing: Phew, that was quite the rush, it seemed to be kinda deep in places and overrun with prickers, but once we got the hang of it we made good progress. I think what this moment calls for us is to rip all our close off, and make a beeline for the Creek. I don't know about you but there's just something about relaxing in water that makes it all worthwhile. Have a blessed day my buddies and remember to get that rest and know we're all with you.

 Love and Light, Riki.🌈
