Go for Direct Experience…

This is what I eat 4 days a week. I’m not totally excited about the food, but I know how I feel and look when I do my best to stick close to it. Sardines, arugula, spinach, spring mix, evoo, balsamic, ground flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, salt, pepper and sauerkraut. 🤪
“I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.” L.199
“There is no peace, except the peace of Love. Let me not wander from the way of peace, for I am lost on other roads than this. But let me follow love who leads me home, and peace is certain.” L.200
🥰👍🏼We are HALF WAY through the workbook friends!👍🏼🥰
“Words will mean little now. We use them but as guides on which we do not now depend. ***For now we seek direct experience of truth alone.***
The lessons that remain are merely introductions to the times in which we leave the world of pain, and go to peace.
“We will continue spending time with divine love each morning and at night, as long as makes us happy. We will not consider time a matter of duration now. We use as much as we will need for the result that we desire.” Part II Intro p. 398 ACIM
The Course is always telling us to “Come Home or Go Home.” This implies going within to the place where your TRUE IDENTITY resides. The kingdom of God (Love) is within. So it would only seem correct to go within ourself and commune with the GREAT LOVE that is one with us. When we close our eyes and go within (for me this is how I experience my true identity) we escape the world of pain and are reminded of the reality of inner peace which is OUR BIRTHRIGHT.
The next half of the workbook encourages us to SEEK DIRECT EXPERIENCE….let us double up on our discipline of meditation and mind wandering.
The last couple days I’ve been out of sorts in my mind and my body, even while making a conscious effort to remember my inner teacher. But, I have made up my mind to do the unlearning and relearning (mind training) required to live a life knowing WHO I AM.
Join with me Sisters! 🥰
Ps…this seems like a lot of WORK!
Just re-reading my blog made me TIRED! We’ve been steeped into fear, lack, separation, worry, sadness, sickness, etc…since birth. As a defense against love, we’ve created our ego. And to the voice of the ego we spend 99% of our waking days.
We are now remembering our true identity (we’ve never left god, nor god us) and the fact that we are divine love itself. This just doesn’t happen OVERNIGHT how could it? How could we go from one end of the spectrum to the complete other side in a day, month or even a year? So this is our work. The sitting, the reading, the quiet contemplation, the choice to see things as divine love does rather than the ego.
PSs…we are DOING BETTER than we think. 🥰🥰🥰
All my being sees, honors, and recognizes your being. (Namaste)
