Workbook Lesson 61

 

"I am the light of the world."

 

 

Interpreted by Roberta Gallop

 

Daily Welcome:  Hi fellow ACIM students, it is so much fun to learn and grow with you. Sometimes you call me your teacher and that makes me feel all gooey inside. It is a miraculous feeling to have been certified to teach by the one being I feel capable of teaching me. Then going on to have those I teach in such a beautiful and creative way by Spirit. Loving, hugging, being, caring and just plain enjoying the ability to share what I love most. Group hug you guys, and let's wear our fluffy pants and angel wings and move on down the road.

 

 

Prayer: My Glorious God, thank you for creating me and for playing the game of Wholly Spiritual Universe with me. It's kinda like the game of Life, but a lot more real. The best part is that you are playing with me, that my Dad is right here, completely loving me and being with me all the time. Please help me to feel you, please help me to remember you and to experience this joy of being so connected. Thank you for guiding us. Thank you for teaching us. Always.

 

 

Workbook Lesson:  " I am the light of the world." – This one seemed to be a little hard to get at first, but when I sat with it, I started to understand that we shine our light onto the world, we project what we have in our minds outward into our world. So, it's up to me what I see. Is it anger, confusion, unhappiness, conflict, resentments, bitterness? Do I see bodies and layers and layers of illusion? Or maybe I see joy and peace, and love, and oneness, and the beauty of Heaven. Is the world full of hate, disease, pain, and rules and regulations, or judgement and criticism, smallness, weakness, and people? It is all in the focus of what light we put forward in the world, that determines the light. If I have obsessive thoughts of how everyone hurt me, and how awful my life is, and how mean and evil the world is, then that is all I will see. How I am victimized at every turn, how everybody just wants to hurt me and how I can't cope with anything.

 

 

Thinking it Over: Kinda like bad in, worse out. What I think is the light I project onto the world, so, when I am focused on separateness it is so amazing to me how the world reflects it. When I am filled with the joy of God and the beauty of the oneness of who we are then the world reflects that. Today I am projecting peace and understanding on the world. What are you projecting on your world?

 

 

Tips & Tricks: Listening to music and podcasts, watching movies and shows that help us to hold the world in a positive light, can make a difference in what we see. Because it helps us to hold lighter thoughts in our minds. Again, asking the Wholly Spirit can make a world of change, in helping us to truly see differently and shift our perspective. If you are addicted to binge watching Dexter maybe switch to binging flower arranging. Getting a nice rest and relaxing is so helpful, remembering it is a game that is by design and you can't screw it up.

 

Upon Closing: That wasn't so bad now was it? It was kinda nice to have only one puzzle piece to examine today, but I am sure we will be looking at a bunch at a time later on this month. It is ok to be exhausted or exhilarated, as the case may be. The ordering process can make me feel like I'm in a Vitamix at times, but when I mellow out and the peace of God is upon me, it totally makes it worth it. For a little rest, let's get out our easels and paint the Light of God. The idea feels peaceful and creatively fun. Something about projecting onto a blank canvas clearly turns me on and makes me feel so powerful. Please get your rest and connect to God regularly. Remember we are never alone. Love & Light, Riki 🌈

Daily Welcome:  Hi my precious buddies, I am so bleepin glad to see you, I need your hugs right about now, and also just the knowledge that I am not alone goes an extremely long way. I am going through another stripping process and the emotional pain really sucks. I do know a few things, this is actually a blessing in disguise regardless of how much it hurts. So I thank God for healing me, and I just sit and suck my thumb for a while. I hope your night was peaceful and that you are all ready to close out this second of twelve sections. Big hugs all around and let's whistle on down the road.

 

Prayer: Blessed God, the Course makes it sound so simple and they do a good job of not trying to be too overwhelming, it's just sometimes my little self doesn't wanna just roll over and play dead, even though it hurts more that way. I figure if you designed me and you love me, then you know. So please grant me light, hope, and your strength to get through this. Please help us to see all that you are within us. Thank you for guiding us, thank you for teaching us and for loving us Allways.

 

 

Workbook Lesson:  " The review for today covers Lessons 46 to 50"

 

"God is the Love in which I forgive." – Through God within us, we are able to use the Love which is God to have full acceptance of what we have made, to the point where it is no longer there in any fashion.

 

"God is the strength in which I trust." – Trust has never been my long suit, so this lesson made me have to take a real deep look at God, and if I could rely on His strength. Trusting in God's strength would mean I have to believe that of myself I do not have strength to handle anything.

 

"There is nothing to fear." – God is with me always, and everything I do, I do with God, so there is no reason for me to fear anything. It is only when I believe in separation that I fear, because I believe I am apart from God.

 

"God's Voice speaks to me all through the day." – This one brings me the comfort of knowing there is only God's voice within me, and in so many ways it speaks to me, like through movies, people, songs, stray thoughts in my mind. Always there, allways  finding ways to communicate with me so I will understand.

 

"I am sustained by the Love of God." – It is the love of God that created me, love created me like itself. It is when I am quiet and accepting that I know this to be true, but when I am feeling little separate and confused it is hard to believe, that God would want to have anything to do with me.

 

Thinking it Over: These puzzle pieces, got me to thinking, that ACIM was on crack or something, or they were watching a different movie than I do. Because in this life as I know it, I can't see that it really feels that way much. Believing that God is with me, God created me, God loves me, God sustains me, all sounds so yummy, but then I have one of those days, and I just know something doesn't fit right, I got the wrong memo or something. It is at this conjecture that I have a talk with the Wholly Spirit and ask Him to help me see. Do you ever feel while you're going through these lessons that you misunderstood or that you got the wrong memo? What does that look like for you?

 

 

Tips & Tricks: This enlightenment stuff is ever so funky, because I can be moving along doing so well, and staying grateful for so many things in my life, and then my head feels like a house of cards and just collapses everywhere. I know this is an integral part of releasing self and it's getting me that one simple step closer to awakening, so I try to ride it out, but sometimes the accepting phase just can't come fast enough to please me. So more reaching and more praying.

 

Upon Closing: That little jaunt was just what I needed. Whew, sometimes just keepin on keepin on especially when the shit hits the fan is just what I need to let go and let God. I am so grateful for the company and compassionate wishes, let's take a dip in the creek and wash all the old junk off. Have a beautiful and blessed night. Love & Light, Riki 🌈

Daily Welcome:  Blessed day my pretties, top of the mornin to ya. I hope your night was restful and your morning is making sense to you. Another day of puzzle pieces and it really isn't so bad once you get used to it. Like hitting the rapids and then mellowing out for a bit, and then hitting another set of rapids. Lots of hugs and love buddies and let's go for it harder, with feeling.

 

Prayer: Blessed Christ, please teach us how to play the game the very best we can. We don't know how to experience very well, because we think we aren't supposed too. Please help us to know all is well, and to remember you are with us everywhere we go. Please guide us to enjoy what we have within us. Thank you for showing us the way and for teaching us who we are. Alllways.

 

 

Workbook Lesson:  " The review for today covers Lessons 41 to 45"

 

"God goes with me wherever I go." – The eternal "get out of jail free card". I am never alone, that has always been so big in my life, so to know God is with me, period, is huge. If I am not feeling God, it is because I am hanging onto my illusions so tight I can't let go.

 

"God is my strength. Vision is His gift." – Through God I feel the strength to release and forgive. Because I am able to release and forgive, I can see the truth through His eyes, I am His Son, I am gentle, loving and at peace, and am with God allways.

 

"God is my Source." – God is all there is, God created me, and every part of me is God. To truly know that I am of God, lets me know I am strong, I am love, and I am beautiful just like my Dad.

 

"God is the light in which I see." – Without light I see only darkness, my sight would keep me imprisoned and blind, I see only illusions and darkness. But because God's love illuminates me in all things and all ways, I spiritually see the truth of who I am.

 

"God is the Mind with which I think." – This lesson just explains further in all the ways God is completely my source. He is the totality of all I am, and it is only with His mind I think, because His mind is all there is within me, the fact that I believe I am of two minds even is by His design.

 

 

Thinking it Over: These puzzle pieces really bring to light how deeply connected to God we are, almost like there is only God, and a mini God. God feels warm to me, kind, of fluffy and intelligent and deep all at the same time. I know when I feel God and when I just feel little cold and crappy and alone. So, if you were to think about it, how would God feel in you?

 

 

Tips & Tricks: Trying to just be and feel the presence of God within can be a tricky thing because there is no separation, there is only God and me thinking I am someone else besides God in me. Like that line I like so much, "I just stopped in to see what condition my condition was in". Watch out for the over analyzing and just keep your focus on the next puzzle piece. Just letting stuff flow the best you can.

 

Upon Closing: And a very merry time was had by all. It is so wonderful how we just skip down the yellow brick road all happy and together, learning as we go along, staying open to all the many ways we hold ourselves back and looking for the beautiful energy of God within. I got a little hungry on this one, lets go to the church social potluck and see if they have fried chicken this time, I love the corn on the cob with those big buttermilk biscuits and chicken gravy on the side, yum, yum. Have a blessed night guys, sleep well, huggies. Love & Light, Riki 🌈
