"Love created me like itself."

 

 

Interpreted by Roberta Gallop

 

Daily Welcome:  Welcome, my blessed buddies, this is fun, and I so look forward to those smiles of anticipation as our eyes meet and we get ready to go forward on another great adventure into the inner recesses of our mind and discover more great truths about who we really are, and where we really are. The company is so appreciated, I feel more comfortable going into the weird and unknown places because I got you guys with me. Today will be a Madonna day, so let's get on our tightest stretches and coned bras, nice group hug and let's move on down the road. You guys' rock.

 

 

Prayer: My Precious Father, I know you created me mighty, but I feel so weak, You created me from Your love and I have lost my way, and distorted the truth of my being. Please grant me awareness and enlightenment, please show me how to love myself as you so love me. Answer our prayers that we may bring Light to the world. Thank you for never leaving us and thank you for teaching us. Allways.

 

 

Workbook Lesson:  "Love created me like itself." This is one of those no shit lessons, that seems so obvious it doesn't need saying, but in the name of clarity the Course does go there. Love created me like itself and God is love, so I am love. True, but hard for me to conceive of when I see myself as only a weak, pathetic body. My Father created me like Himself. I have joy, and happiness, and peace, and the need to give love a s love has been given to me. When I can stay in that place, think with that mind, then I am free, to be as God has created me to be. I feel only the oneness of myself and my Father. We are still here but seeing with the mind of God there is only wholeness and togetherness.

 

 

Thinking it Over: This is so beautiful, and it feels so gentle, I start getting a little frustrated with me, because if it is that obvious why can't I see it? I just get so caught up in the stories I tell myself, the false illusions, and limitations. It's like knowing on some level this simply the truth and when I try to reach for it, then it dissolves in my hands. The answer is to remember and believe in my innocence, and releasing, forgiving, and accepting things as they are even if I can't understand them or don't believe them. So, this might be a good place for me to act as if. If I truly believed I was made of love and had only love within me I would pray a lot, and work on paying attention to my self-talk and ask the Wholly Spirit for help to see only the truth. How would you act if you acted as if?

 

Tips & Tricks: Sometimes these obvious gentle lessons can bring up sneaky emotions, like guilt and shame, even anger or bitterness. So please make sure to have your support system close by and be very, very easy with yourself. If you do start feeling overwhelmed or disconnected then please reach out, and also release and forgive to the Wholly Spirit and ask Him to help you see things differently. Please remember we are innocent, that we have been on an adventure for ions that we weren't even aware of so by accepting things as they are we can stop reacting and just let God do His thing.

 

Upon Closing: Hey you Divas, that was a total and complete blast, I loved the walk and the talk and the hugs and the cute outfits and everything that helps me to not feel alone, and to know we are truly all in this together. You guys mean so much to me, and it validates that God is using me in the most wonderous of ways. Please remember to get rest and do the daily exercises along with the lessons. Eat well, exercise well, be loving to yourself and get good sleep. Also please remember to take time for quietness with God, so we can keep the connection option. Love & Light, Riki 🌈

"My happiness and my function are one."

 

Interpreted by Roberta Gallop

 

Daily Welcome:  My precious students of the Course, a great big howdy. Today is for lovin, feelin, and trusting the process of the Course. I love seeing your sleepy yet smiling faces every morning, I love my hugs and good wishes and that feeling of knowing this is part of my function. How do I know it is part of my function? It makes me happy. It's a beautiful sunny day, and the temperature is perfect for another amazing lesson. So big group hug, and time to do it, to it. Thank you all so much for being in my life.

 

Prayer: Blessed Wholly Spirit, please help us and guide us along the way. Sometime we feel strong and focused and then other times, our feet fly out from underneath us and we fall on our asses. And it feels sooo good to know you are right there to pick us up, dust us off, and move us forward. Thank you for your faith and hope for without it we ain't goin anywhere. Please grant us knowledge of God's Wholly will for us and the power to carry that it. Also please do for us what we cannot do for ourselves. Thank you for being with us, and teaching us along the way. Allways.

 

 

Workbook Lesson:  "My happiness and my function are one." I have always believed that God speaks to us through our hearts. So, I look at what motivates me, what makes me happy. What I have learned is ACIM makes me happy and has always made me happy. I have got confused by the Course over the years, and I have even got bored with it, but it fills me and gives me purpose. It makes me happy to teach also, and I feel fulfilled when I am learning and helping people. I have been doing little bits of my purpose at different times throughout the years. An old song says, "You know you got it, when it makes you feel good". So, bringing light to the world when we do it in the fashion we are designed too, will make us feel good. So, for me, following my teacher, learning to bring the message of the Course to others, and helping the Rev. Devan Jesse Byrne, to bring his spiritual messages forward in different ways. That fills me with light and as I feel the light my heart feels happy.

 

 

Thinking it Over: In the beginning of doing the Course it is often the case that we aren't sure what our function is, or how to bring it forward. But I do believe if we pray and stay in lane doing the lessons God will bring us to different parts that do awaken our happiness. For me it started with sharing my gifts with others made me happy, having them calling me confused and unclear of what to do next, and then help them find that happy place, in turn made me happy. What makes you happy? What ways do you share your function?

 

 

Tips & Tricks: This lesson does make me feel happy, and it also brings up the tip of staying in your bliss, being grateful for your happiness every chance you get, and don't let the ego and your fear or negativity keep you from daring to feel happy, daring to enjoy your life and believing that you do have a function, that you are entitled to feel good about what you do. Please remember God designed us this way, and I'll give you a hint, when it comes to your function you don't have a hell of a lot of choice. So, please sleep well, eat well, and reach to the light allways. Also please remember that this blog is only set up as a little help and encouragement along the way, and that it is important to do your lessons in the workbook everyday, and use this as just the lil cherry on top.

 

Upon Closing: That was a pleasant and happy jaunt, so I am sure it is an indication our function is not far behind. The day was so blessed and the company was even better than that. Have a yummy, lovely day and peaceful night. I love you guys, let's keep right on going for it again tomorrow. Love & Light, Riki 🌈

"My only function is the one God gave me."

 

Interpreted by Roberta Gallop

 

Daily Welcome:  Hey my loves, thanks for showing up, in some ways this expanding and awakening process is soooo awesome and in others it will test you every which way including loose. I have so much admiration for my teacher because he didn't just walk through the process of ascension, after achieving it he came back to show others how to do it. It is a strong motivation for me to continue on this path. You are my motivation too, because I get to help, I get to show by my humble example and I can feel inspired and useful. I love you guys so much. Let's move on down the road arm in arm, going for it, together.

 

 

Prayer: Dear Father I am in pain, please help me to know the truth, please show me the way home no matter what. Please use this emotional pain to heal and motivate me. Please lay me open that I may see my innocence, and know there is nothing to fear, ever. Please guide me so that I may know the truth, and at those times when the darkness threatens to swallow me whole, remind me I am not alone and never have been. Thank you for showing us the way home and for teaching us every step of the way. Allways.

 

 

Workbook Lesson:  "My only function is the one God gave me." This lesson like the previous ones has us look at what God has created for us to do, versus the desires of the little self. Especially when it comes to the goals, we have used to define us. The only function I have is to awaken and awaken the world. Bringing the light to the world, by releasing all the goals and definitions I have set for myself. I remember watching Steve Martin in "The Jerk", and as he was extremely upset and leaving his house, he kept coming up with things he needed before he could leave. "I don't need anything except this lamp, I don't need anything except this lamp and this table, I don't need anything except this lamp and this table and this…" It so reminds me of how I keep adding things to define my purpose. And with each thing I add, there are new expectations of what I need to fulfill it. With each new layer I get further from my true function as light bearer.

 

 

Thinking it Over:  This lesson made me take a deep look at the many decisions I make, and how any decision other than releasing myself to God to use me as it be His design for me, will just keep covering up my function. The thing that gets to me is that many of my goals are what I consider healthy and right and helpful, but because they are made by my little self, they are not in alignment with my function of salvation. Wanting to be the best ACIM teacher, wanting to author books, can be against my divine function. The only way I know the truth is to let go and let God guide me in every way. Where do your goals and your divine function collide? How might you release your self-defined goals?

 

 

Tips & Tricks: Sometimes when we don't know the best way through something is to pray to the Wholly Spirit to help us see things differently. To ask for the clarity to know the next right thing, and the strength to do it, whatever it is, whatever it takes. At those times of deep triggering or internal crisis, please recognize it is by design so that you can release the obstacles in the way of ascending. That the Wholly Spirit is not doing it to be cruel, but to help you accept and move on. The fact that you could get that triggered by a situation shows the power it has to keep you stuck here. So, surrendering, thanking and being grateful can go a long way.

 

Upon Closing: That was fun, it was an intense walk today, but a good one. I would like to know why the sharpest turns bring the highest rewards. Maybe a nice lay in the grass and pick out cloud pictures would be just the ticket. I see a giraffe wearing a tutu, and also a snake biting its own tail. What do you see? Have an awesome day and gentle night, see ya tomorrow my precious buds. Love & Light, Riki 🌈
