A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 46

 

"God is the Love in which I forgive. "

 

Interpreted by Roberta Gallop

 

Daily Welcome:  Hi my fellow sweet and adventurous students, I hope your night was restful and your morning has been eye-opening and fun. I love you guys sooo much, and you truly are the highlight of my day. Just big huggies and lots of compassion. Sometimes these lessons can get a little scary so let's put on our most creative monster costumes and scare them right back. Mine is a black and pink feathered duck that moos like a cow, it is so empowering to just be regardless of who cares or who doesn't. Let's head on down the road being our beautiful scary monster selves. Enjoy.

 

Prayer: Loving Higher Power, please show us how to have compassion for ourselves and others, please remind us that we are worth it. That we are not small, little or mistakes, but You in disguise. We follow your lead, usually we don't know where you're taking us, but we are willing, and have the faith to keep going, no matter what. Thank you for sending your Wholly Spirit to help us forgive, thank you for teaching us. Allways.

 

 

Workbook Lesson:  "God is the Love in which I forgive. "  I enjoy this lesson, because for us it truly is the way out. With God's love which is the acceptance of everything we can just forgive our little selves and the world right out of existence. It is the only answer for these illusions, stories, images, and layers we keep making, over and over again. We use God's love which is oneness, since we are not separate to be the eraser, of the resentments I have against you, the memories of how awful and nasty you are, the judgements and criticism and the rules and boxes that are here everywhere on earth. I find with God's love I can see my brother as myself and as I release everything in the way of seeing the truth, the only thing that remains is God's love. Also, it sure is a lot nicer to not have to feel all pinchy and angry or little and scared. Because forgiveness shows me the truth about our identity as Christ, the Son of God.

 

 

Thinking it Over: This lesson is so beneficial, I have released and forgiven many areas at different times over the years especially with the 12 step process. It's like when I have truly forgiven something including the memories, I usually don't think of it anymore. And I just keep doing life and releasing and forgiving and then something will jog the memory, but I find I don't seem to respond to it anymore. Like when I talked with my son today He reminded me of past stuff and I didn't even remember it clearly. What memories have you released that came up again? How did you deal with it?

 

 

Tips & Tricks: Please remember to be just plain good to yourself, you are doing an awesome job, and sometimes we can get kinda in a zone with all the changes and ordering that is going on in our heads, learning how to be your own best friend can go a long way in making the transition as smoothly as possible. Just accepting God doesn't make mistakes and you don't have to always know why you feel what you feel, in fact sometimes just feeling it, letting the river flow is the best idea.  Remember to do the usual, eat well, rest well, pray well, and give yourself hugs on a regular basis.

 

Upon Closing: That was an emotional one, but it's not too tough for us cause we scared the pants off of everything that got in our way. Rough, tough, and filled with the Wholly Spirit. Picnic time, I brought us some cheese and crackers, and the cold cider is at the creek. I'm gonna just lay back with my buds and see shapes in the clouds again. I see a Rhino eating a snake, and that one to the left looks like Daffy Duck. Please remind yourself often it is perfectly acceptable to breathe and smell the roses. Sometimes you just gotta let your freak flag fly. All my gratitude for you showing up everyday to awaken and help me awaken. Have a yummy night. Love & Light, Riki 🌈

"God is the Mind with which I think. "

 

Interpreted by Roberta Gallop

 

Daily Welcome:  My lovely blossoms of awareness, you are so getting this, I am so grateful to know you and to have the pleasure of watching you grow. I so love our time together, and just pointing out things of interest along the way. You are all glowing more and bringing such beautiful light with you. Big group hugs, and lots of sparkles along our way. Race ya to the next stop light. Thank you for making my life.

 

Prayer: I love you my Father, you who created me and lives through me. You created a Riki, in all your magnificence and ability you made a me, you thought me into existence, thank you for that. I know I have complained to you on many occasions, and have definitely questioned your sanity, but I have never not felt you in some way. Please help us grow, please grant us the strength to hang in there. To not question and just to feel and be, and live and love in you. Thank you for loving us and teaching us. Allways.

 

 

Workbook Lesson:  "God is the Mind with which I think. " It is so silly, my little mind is within God's total mind, everything I see, do, and now think is within the Mind of God. This is a wonderful lesson cause I can't see without God, be without God, think without God, and so I guess this kinda begs the question, what am I without God? Nothing, absolutely nothing. But the good news is, there is a God, and these series of lessons are trying to point out to the mind of my little self in a gentle sweet way. That there is no me, really. Just the condition of split mind that makes me believe I am me. It's cool, it's like a litte kid thinking like His daddy thinks and imitating his daddy every step of the way. If God had not created the thought of the knowledge of good and evil, we would not be here, we would not be anywhere, and our Dad would just go back to being bored all the time. So, it's a win/win when ya think about it.

 

 

Thinking it Over:  The more I do the Course and understand and absorb it, the more it points back to this concept of a loving father that wanted somebody to play with. If I were a bored God what I would create to play with is a teeny tiny eeny weeny little world that I could hang on a chain around my neck.  And enjoy the creativity and aliveness of it all. If you were a bored God, what would you create?

 

 

Tips & Tricks: It is wonderful for us to get the concept that God and I are one, and I can't think without God. Just a little check-in as we start creeping in slowly on a couple months of the Course and even just a few lessons away from our first set of reviews. Reviews can be a lot of fun if you don't try to cram to much in, just more of a light looky see reminder, of what we have already been over, just a simple little memory jogger, nothing else. And definitely not an invitation to beat the crap out of yourself for where you think you are not, and where you think you are supposed to be. Besides you don't have much control over where you are anyway.

 

Upon Closing: I know we have been going at a jogging pace, but we are getting used to it, and are quite the team. I hope you had fun on this one, a little jaunt never hurt anyone. Remember we are all here for you, you are never alone, and this craziness is just God's way of calling us home. Isn't it nice to have a Huge friend in high places. I have a hankering for some jelly beans, I think I saw some close by the creek, let's go check it out and then get some well deserved rest. Tender hugs, my buddies. May your night be gentle and filled with the peace of God.

Love & Light, Riki 🌈

"God is the light in which I see. "

 

Interpreted by Roberta Gallop

 

Daily Welcome:  Hi all, welcome and have an enjoyable and delightful day. I am always happy to see ya comin, and I get excited to find out what cool things we will do. Today let's wear our kaleidoscope glasses and stumble to our next destination, in a joyous fashion, after hugs of Course. Please remember you are never alone, and to always wear your support system like a fuzzy security blanket. These glasses are so trippy, they remind me of the time…  well, that's for another story. Last one on the path is a half-cooked spaghetti.

 

 

Prayer: My kind and gentle creator, thank you for making all of this for me, and for tagging along with me while I play with it, and to think most kids just get dolls and Legos for Christmas. You are my light, you are my hope, my fun, my breath and everything else. Please bring me closer to you, please help me to recognize you in all ways. Please send your Wholly Spirit to be with me every step of the way and grant me knowledge of your Wholly will for me and the power to carry that out. Please remove from me the illusion of freewill so that I can feel our oneness everyway possible. Thank you for teaching me and loving me. Allways.

 

Workbook Lesson: "God is the light in which I see. " Not only is God with me always, but it is also only through the Light of God that I see anything. Darkness is interesting, I am still trying to figure out what darkness is, but it may be quite literally the lack of light (which is impossible. It's strange though, because if God is light and the totality of everything, wouldn't light be in the darkness too? Within the dimensions light is not just white it has been separated into different frequencies of light, that's where the colors come from. God is all everything, including light. It is interesting because I see light around the edges of everything I look at, like the walls, my hands, and I even see it within the shapes I am looking at like a cup, or my PC, anything. Everything is light and everything is God, and that pretty much sums it up.

 

Thinking it Over: It is comforting to think of God as light, I thinking I'm create my own darkness myself, when I get caught up in my negativity, caught up in doubt, worries, fears, insecurities, judgments, criticism, and so on. It is still God's light that I make my illusions with, I just don't recognize it while I am caught in self-will. This is a lesson I get, because as I continue to awaken, I see more light and less form, it's starting to get a transparent quality to it. What do you see? How do you see what you see?

 

 

Tips & Tricks: People call the light around things auras, and depending on the colors of the aura it says something about the way the person is feeling and what they are thinking. I guess we are influenced by the color of energy that we draw to ourselves, but I sometimes wonder if we have a preconceived idea of the color we are bringing in and change our moods accordingly. Just a little ponder, I love pondering, but when it comes to the Course that is not really a good idea, because that is where my projections, expectations and descriptions come from.

 

Upon Closing: That was quite the interesting experience, having my distorted light become even more distorted, it got so wonky I fell down at least 50 times. But even with all that fracturing going on I could still feel and hear you guys trudging, stumbling and swearing along beside me. As we start getting the hint that everything is God playing with Himself including us, it takes a lot of the guess work out of it. "Nothing is real, nothing to get hung about, Strawberry fields forever, living is easy with eyes closed misunderstanding all you see…", Have a gentle and yummy rest, see ya tomorrow.

 Love & Light, Riki 🌈
