LESSONS ON FAITH THINKING

In the Spirit and Context of  "A Course In Miracles " -referred to as Wisdom


Dear One,

Wisdom explains quite well that it is your fear of God, ultimately, that you need forgive or see through. Because this fear precludes trustingHim/Her, and trust is the foundation of successful relationship. Yet, this fear is the basis of your own separated sense of self identification; projected out of Mind making a world of seemingly separated aspects within your ownOneness. And because Mind is singular -as you give so shall you receive- then as you pretend to hide from God in your own mind, it seems that God is hiding from you also. This dynamic, regardless of its false pretense, can definitely engender much fear. And it perpetuates itself; compounding the feeling of fear and separation until healing is achieved. What a dualistic construct ! But, since time and space (or your dream of reality) is just a sleight of hand,-as Wisdom teaches, then it's all only yourillusion of fear and guilt. And since this illusion is taking place in yourmind, it is readily available for correction. Changing " I am fearful " to " I Am."

The Workbook is the means of relinquishing this fear of separation -which believes it is a victim or victimizer of an outside world. Wisdom couldn't be clearer on this point about giving up your fearful sense of separate identity to remember and experience who you Really Are. And this is the Experiencethe Workbook leads you to. But this Experience is not something that is understoodintellectually. It is beyond all cognizable knowledge and previous experiences of your humanity; new, yet totally familiar -a Home Coming; Self Realization; Awakening; Enlightenment. It's an Experience !

The process is simple, but many find giving up separateidentity to be difficult because the ego interprets it as death -even though death is in store for you as an ego. This is why so many do not complete the Workbook or make it their thought systemof choice. Yet, the Holy Spirit continues to teach that there is no life in the illusion of death, but only in the relinquishment of it -I am not a body, I am free, I Am as God created me. In letting go of, or healing the separated identity your life is re-memberedwith the Christ Mind as a Child of God -Eternal. Since this Awakening is an Experience,and not an understanding, you must always be vigilant of which guideyou are seeking counsel in your mind. For the experiences of the ego and Holy Spirit are mutually exclusive to each other. Remember, your brothers and sisters are either guilty or guiltless in your choice of counsel, and as such, you will either condemn or free them -and yourself similarly, because an idea does not leave its source;cause and effect are never separate. Regardless of its dualistic capabilities, Mind is a singular whole -just as the many facets on a diamond may reflect light differently, it is still just one whole, and there is an experience to be hadof its wholeness that is beyond any one of its facets.

Therefore, the Workbook needs to be done on goingly in order to transmute your separated self. It's lessons are notsomething to think about, but rather something to think with.For in using it as your thought system of choice,your projectionsof fear in this world will drop away.  Because we are in the Mind of God right NOW.In re-associating or thinking with God's thoughts -the lessons, everything begins to be recognized and experienced as joined, or One, or whole. Then you are free from fear's conditioning and able to recognize that there is only One of us. Then the dreamthat life is, is now recognized as your own making. The dramais seen for what it is -and then there is nothing to forgive.

In " Quantum Physics " this is known as the shift from light particle to light wave; light can be measured as either, but never as particle and wave simultaneously, it's always one or the other to the observer. Such is the same with your perceptions; you see either the Face of Christ -wave, or you crucify yourself -particle. The wave and the particle each make different realities or experiences. You are either joined by the Great Rays -wave, or separated by the physical -particles. This is an evolutionary jump to Quantum reasoning that will change reality as you now know it. For it will alter all your beliefs and fears of reality as you experience this shift in your perception -the miracle. This indeed is a resurrection and rebirth !

The laws of " Quantum Physics " do up-hold these Wisdom teachings. In fact, I read a recent book written by a quantum physicist, that stated " there is no world " -a line you are no doubt familiar with in "A Course In Miracles." The idea is actually quite tangible when you consider the changing places and situations of your dream world during sleep at night. The Course states, emphatically, that the Mind never sleeps and all thoughts manifest in some form at some level to be experienced.

Wisdom says that you must rely on the Holy Spirit to transmute your experience of your hellto the experience of Heaven -reflected back as God would have created the world; guiltless. Practice thinking with the Workbook vehemently as you participate in the world, and the Holy Spirit will guide you to Who You Really Are. Read the Text to reassure yourself of the process in progress -it surely is the manual of mind. Study those sections that appeal most to you. And above all, consistently reinforce the subjective nature of the Workbook lessons in all situations up to and including the study of the Course itself. In other words, use the Workbook lessons as a way of thinking,because the truth is:

 Nothing you see means anything, you have given it all the meaning it has for you.
You see something that is not there, because your mind is preoccupied with the past.
Above all else you want to see things differently. Heaven is a decision you must make.

Remember, be still, be without judgment about the objective reality, love, be kindly minded and act on the Holy Spirit's guidance that you receive from the still small Voiceof your conscience,and you will remember God and His Son as your Self. Then the whole universe is you and yours forever. What a relief !

A quantum leap of faith will change you and your reality forever. Remember: Eternity Is; living happily ever after NOW.
