"I am as God created me."

 

Interpreted by Roberta Gallop

 

Daily Welcome:  Hail my Beloved Travel Buddies, it is so wonderful to know I am not alone in this, that there are other seekers like myself and that we all grow together because we are of one mind. It makes it fun to move on down the road with you guys, continuing to learn, question and expand.  So, time for that wonderous big group hug as we make a mad dash for the path to enlightenment.

 

 

Prayer: My loving Father, please help me to keep my focus regardless how stupid and chaotic it gets below the veil. Please help me to know the truth and to accept that I am as you have made me, especially when the thoughts in my mind tell me otherwise. Please help me to see that it is possible to still be experiencing the role you would have me play and be awakened to the Christ Consciousness of which I am. May your Wholly Spirit guide me every step of the way and to realize it is all in your plan. Thank you for teaching us, Allways.

 

 

Workbook Lesson:  "I am as God created me." – For me this is one of those subtle little lessons that has spoken volumes to me. I have learned over the years to become a real expert at self-condemnation, beating and putting myself down for everything, believing myself to be "lower than whale shit". So, to stumble on (not by accident) this lesson was a miracle all in itself. I have always believed in God, in some way shape or form and most of my life have truly thought, I had let God down. I have never really been sure how or why, I just knew that I had screwed up a lot and God was putting up with me the best He could. So, to realize God made me this way, that there is nothing wrong with me, and I am exactly as designed, has been a big load off my heart and mind. I had been taught to look at things in a screwy way, but it didn't mean I was screwy, just the thinking was.

 

 

Thinking it Over: This lesson though simple has taken years to get in there, to understand that I have done nothing wrong, and never have and the more I just release, forgive, and accept that as truth, the more I actually see it and believe it. I am amazed how strong the old programming runs through my head though. There are some nights I wake up at 2 or 3 in the morning with such fear and self-hate running through me that I feel lost and confused, and sometimes can't even feel God. But as I relax and ask the Wholly Spirit to help me see things differently, I do feel the peace of God and am comforted. How do you get to the other side of fear and judgement?

 

 

Tips & Tricks: When I think about another tidbit that has served me well, the idea of "getting still" comes to mind. I find that is much as I can just remember that I am in unreality and that it is all illusion, and then go that extra mile to start thinking about the "Christ Consciousness" that I truly am, the judgements I have made on myself start going away and I begin to remember the truth of that I am exactly as I am supposed to be, because God made me this way. Sometimes I will tell myself that I am confused and I don't really know what is going on, but God does and it truly is OK.

 

Upon Closing: Another awesome lesson, one of those touchy feel good ones. It allways leaves me refreshed and happy to be a student of The Course. You guys are definitely my cherry on top, cause we have such exciting adventures and get to play like the little kids we are. The best thing about being as God made me is I can't screw it up, even though I think I can. So, I think I wanna do a little skinny dippen in the creek and just let it all hang out. Last one in is last month's meatloaf. Remember to be gentle, rest well, and enjoy the process.

 Love & Light, Riki 🌈

"Light and joy and peace abide in me."

 

Interpreted by Roberta Gallop

 

Daily Welcome:  Hi, my study buddies, it is so wonderful to have you in my life, and to know that I get to play with the big kids and enjoy stuff as it is meant to be, and not the hell my distorted thoughts have turned it into. A Course in Miracles is such a pretty name that carries with it a great promise, and I do feel it is exactly what its name says, because I am growing in Spirit and as I do it is so nice to have others to share it with. So, let's have that big group hug I've been waiting for and once again, move on down the road in our comfy fuzzy slippers.

 

 

Prayer: Blessed Father, Sometimes I feel like I got this, and I take off down the hill running, and other times, I just feel so lost and confused, please guide me through the confusion and help me to see the light, peace, and joy that I really am. I so want to remember who I am and also to honor you in every step of this process and this awesome adventure you have gone on with me. I love you Father, please help me to grow in that love. Thank you for helping me, thank you for teaching me. Allways.

 

 

Workbook Lesson:  "Light and joy and peace abide in me."  -  This is one of my favorite lessons because it is so gentle and loving and it reminds me what truly does run the show, not bones and blood and flesh, or diplomas or wealth. Sometimes, I clearly and easily believe this, and other times I am so focused on the muck and mire of my illusions that I can't see past much. It's kinda funny, because Light, Joy and Peace certainly abide in me, it just has more to do with where my focus is whether I am in touch with it or not. I think it's important to point out this lesson is not stating that it may, abide in me, or that once a year on my birthday it abides in me, but that it abides in me, allways, period. No debate on who, where when or why, or if it should or shouldn't, because it simply is. Because it IS who I am, it is what I am made of. I also like to remember especially in the Course, when it talks about me, it is talking about the collective, not just I have it and you don't, because I am special and you aren't, or that God loves me best.

 

 

Thinking it Over:   Since I am made of Light, and joy and peace, it has really emphasized the need to find those places where I am resistant to releasing the distorted facts that I have based the identity of my little self on and forgiving and forgetting and enjoying the not thinking part. Cause when I am not caught up in the who I think I am, and just allow the true Me as Christ the Son of God to shine through that is when I am in touch with the Light, and joy and peace, which is my birthright. What resistances are preventing you from knowing your birthright, your true identity as the Son of God?

 

-        

Tips & Tricks: I feel like I have been pushing the ACIM river for so long, it is an absolute pleasure to not fight or assume, or expect things to go a certain way, but just to go with the flow, not define and allow the mind ordering to take me where it does. It's kinda funny, you know when people say, "I lost my mind", As I get more involved with this process, I really do feel like I have literally lost my mind, or a good portion of it. Inside where my head used to be like Grand Central Station, it is now more like a beach in Tahiti. So, this mind ordering stuff works, especially when I just kick back and let it happen.

 

Upon Closing:  This was a lovely little walk down Spirit Path today, and it felt so good to have company. There is some cold apple cider down by the creek, and I made some yummy biscuits last night. Let's just kick back for a bit and contemplate our inner nature of light, joy and peace. Have a blessed and enjoyable day and a restful night. Love & Light, Riki 🌈

"Miracles are seen in light, and light and strength are one."

 

Interpreted by Roberta Gallop

 

Daily Welcome:  Blessed day my fellow student buddies. I love ACIM and I love sharing my love of it, studying, and experiencing the splendor and artistry of it together. There is a sense of community when it comes to the Course that really helps me blossom. This workbook lesson brings out so much happiness I can't wait to get started down the path today. Big group hug and our best foots forward moving like we knew God was guiding our every step, because It is. We can have this as "fuzzy slipper day", it will make everything just that little bit more yummy. Hugs all around.

 

 

Prayer: Blessed Wholly Spirit, please help me to awaken and please guide me every step of the way, many times I get so confused and start beating up on myself for no apparent reason at all. I just become overwhelmed with self-hate and rage sometimes and I have a hard time feeling you at all. Please during those times help me to know I am not alone, even though I feel very alone and unloved. Thank you for teaching me to know the truth and guiding me to at – one – ment. You are with us allways.

 

 

Workbook Lesson:  "Miracles are seen in light, and light and strength are one."

 

This brings me to thinking about the strength of God, and how I see strength. I see strength as the ability to handle anything, anytime, anywhere, and it makes me feel warm and fluffy to realize that God's light also brings that sense of confidence within me of all things. Like the expression I grew up with, "God's in His Heaven and all's right with the world." In the process of my searching for "The Truth" I came to see light in many ways, like a magical energy that permeates everything, but I can't really see it or comprehend it, I can only sense it in an undefinable flowing sort of way. So, to know that the strength I feel within, is God, helps me know I am doing it "right" after all, that God really didn't forget me and that I really am loved after all.

 

 

Thinking it Over: So, what this is basically saying to me is when I feel strong, I am in the light of God, and I am connected to miracles. Probably overly simplified a tad, but just to know that I can receive miracles is one itself. When I get deep into a beating myself up session, I get so disheartened and feel so little and helpless, and truly screwed up, the last thing I believe I can have is a much needed breath of fresh air. That complete and total change in attitude that brings a beautiful shift and lots more light. Where do you see the miracles? Where do you need the light?

 

 

Tips & Tricks: My biggest tip for today, is to go with the flow no matter what. No matter how you feel, no matter what you think, no matter how uncomfortable it gets, no matter how scared you get, just hang in and know God's got it, God's allways got it and all is well. Just allowing yourself to be, will make all the difference in the world and out of it. Most of what I find myself dealing with is old programming, the identity I have given myself, so as much as I can dissolve that identity through releasing resentments and forgiving, the sooner I start becoming aware of who I truly am, the Christ Consciousness within me. The Course will work your mind itself if you let it, by just hanging in there and keepin on keepin on.

 

Upon Closing: What a wonderful sweet, little cushy journey down that pretty road. I allways feel so refreshed and filled with our love. I think a quick dunk in the creek is just what is called for now, or maybe paddling downstream in a canoe and remembering the beauty of God in all things, and smile. Have a gentle and restful day and a peaceful night, love & Light, Riki 🌈
