Daily Welcome:  Hi blessed buds, another day, another review, it's good for the soul, but a pain in the mind stretching department. I hope you got a good night's sleep and have your journal near by the bed, for any stray shots that happen to come up. We need all the God-given insights we can get. Lots of love and pats on the back, for making it into your 2^nd review lesson, and since you are this far, it is obvious you want to be here, and you got lots of guts too. So, lets show all those guts, by walking backwards through this review lesson. It kinda makes sense actually, because we are looking in the other direction, from where we came. Nice tight huggie circle and moving on down the road bassakwards. I love you guys.

 

Prayer: Loving Creator, thank you for being with us and experiencing through us. Sometimes we feel so lost, and scared. It is only by reaching to your strength inside that we have the faith to keep going. Please guide us gently lovingly home to you. Please grant us your light that we may see the truth. Please may the blessed and Wholly Spirit do for us what we can't do for ourselves. Thank you for creating us and thank you for teaching us. Allways.

 

Workbook Lesson:  " The review for today covers Lessons 6 to 10  "

 

"I am upset because I see what is not there." -  My little mind keeps making scenarios, having thoughts of judgement and criticism and my own little ideas of how things are, instead of seeing the Wholly Spiritual Universe of love, light and oneness as God intended.

 

"I see only the past." – My little self can not create without God, so my focus can only be on the past, because without my awareness of God, I see nothing real.

 

"My mind is preoccupied with past thoughts." – My mind is filled with the memories I made, the illusions if all images like, chairs, homes, people, situations. These I use to keep myself believing I am a body, and keeping myself little, because I believe I am separated from God.

 

"I see nothing as it is now." – Everything is in the past, the only way to truly see is through God's eye, in the way of Oneness. Being one with God, having only love and giving only love.

 

"My thoughts do not mean anything." – My thoughts are being thought separate from God, and since that is impossible, are illusory, they have no real meaning. They are of things that are not real. 

 

Thinking it Over: This chunk of puzzle pieces, definitely got us thinking about our situation, and this was a very helpless place for me, cause I had always prided myself on my ability to think and create, even though I did sense on some level there were huge problems under the hood. But it was by doing these lessons, and reviewing them, I became very ready to release forgive and let the Wholly Spirit help me to see things differently. I needed God huge, I was become increasing sure that my thought system was extremely faulty, but I couldn't stop the cycle within my own little mind. I beat myself up unmercifully for my supposed past wrongs and they kept me stuck for a long time. Where are the places you need God huge?

 

 

Tips & Tricks: Just another one of those reminders, especially during times of review, our heads can get a little nuts and a lot overwhelmed. And I have found the self-beating can come basically out of nowhere. In very short order on more than one review lessons I found myself wanting to just heave the Course screaming I just can't do it, I'm too stupid. So please remember to pray regularly, all day sort of if possible, and have your support system close by. Remember to get good sleep, eat regularly, and be kind to yourself and others. 

 

Upon Closing: That was a trip, but my legs and feet are sore from walking backwards through 5 lessons. Nothin stops us, we just keep on keepin on, no matter what. I think I'll go to the creek and stick my feet in for a good old soak. I'm not in the mood for dippin, but a good soak sounds fun. Have a gentle night, and sleep well. Love & Light, Riki 🌈

Daily Welcome:  Hey guys, I hope you are ready for our first review, it's not really scary, just different. It is nice to see you all bright-eyed and bushy tailed and ready for big hugs and a slow meander through the forest, it'll be fun, and the path turns back on itself. Drop those breadcrumbs in case we lose our way, but I highly doubt we will, cause God walks with us allways. Let's play tag from one tree to another. I just love you guys to bits. Go for it.

 

Prayer: My blessed and beautiful Wholly Spirit, please be with us, please show us the way home, and when things get a little freaky, please remind us that there is nothing to fear, cause God is with us always and forever. Please help us to see things differently, and to grant us God's Will for this day and the power to carry it out. Thank you for guiding us, and thank you for teaching us. Allways.

 

Workbook Lesson:   REVIEW 1 - Lesson 51 – Review L1 – L5

 

"Nothing I see means anything." – This lesson talks about the reason nothing I see means anything is because all I can make is illusions, and illusions images don't have any meaning, because I can only create with God.

 

"I have given what I see all the meaning it has for me." – And it goes to follow that because I am the one that made these images I see, so that is why they have all the meaning I gave them. They are basically meaningless, it is the way we make stories, and the illusion of free will, our resistances to connecting to God.

 

"I do not understand anything I see." –  Since what I see is the past, nothing is real or makes any sense. That is also why I am unhappy and feel confused most of the time. Because nothing is real, it is all illusion.

 

"These thoughts do not mean anything." – The reason the thoughts do not mean anything is because I can only create with God, and in my ego self I am unable to create. Only make illusions, and then live in the fantasy of what I see.

 

"I am never upset for the reason I think." – Because I am believing my own scenarios, I react to the

 way I feel, based on my judgments, but the truth is I am feeling alone and separated from God.

 

Thinking it Over: The review lessons can be a very interesting experience because you are able to reconnect to what you already know, and to add even more as you go along. I found that the reviews kinda knitted it all together, and even pointed out places where I thought I got the meaning, but then realized my puzzle piece was in the right place, but upside down. So today let's looks at how do these puzzle pieces fit for me? Are there any you have no conception or idea of where they go?

 

Tips & Tricks: The reviews always seem to show up when you want a change in the action. I find I get the most benefit from doing the exercises as they suggest, just do them, don't worry about how they show up, just let it play out. I know anything different can cause stress, but you will feel so strong when you get on the other side of each review section, and will be so proud of what you know, and what you are starting to forget. Remember everything is set up for a reason so your mind can become ordered. Be gentle with yourself please, and remember we walk with God whether we realize it or not.

 

Upon Closing: I am so proud of you guys, we just walked right on down the road like it was nothin. Connecting the lesson dots and having a beautiful and majestic time. Let's have a stop at the potluck church dinner again, it's so great, and it's just like a box of chocolates cause you never know what your gonna get to eat. I sure hope they have the backed beans with the little weenies, they are so yummy, and the drop biscuits soak up the gravy, perfectly. Have a blessed night my beauties and we can work on the puzzle pieces again tomorrow.

Love & Light, Riki 🌈

A Course in Miracles

Workbook Lesson 50

 

"I am sustained by the Love of God. "

 

Interpreted by Roberta Gallop

 

Daily Welcome:  My glorious angels of light, good morning, I hope you look as forward to you as I do. Our meeting up and our commitment to do the lessons together means so so much to me. I enjoy writing, especially knowing you will be coming along behind me reading it. Learning some, laughing some, loving some, it all leads to awakening of the finest kind. So, for the 50^th time, let's put on our backpacks, open our minds and simply go for it. Big hugs, can't forget the hugs. Yay us.

 

 

Prayer: My peaceful Creator, you play with us every minute of every day. Right here, right now, showing us what it is like to love and be loved. Letting us have every experience our little hearts desire. Wanna know what it feels to drive off a cliff at 90 miles an hour? Sure sounds like fun. Wanna know what it's like to have 10 kids? Sure sounds like fun. Wanna hit the lottery for 300 million? Sure sounds like fun. You are the best Dad ever, and you are always with us. Thank you for teaching us, thank you for giving us all we need along the way to you. And especially for loving us allways.

 

Workbook Lesson:  "I am sustained by the Love of God. " I love this lesson, and also what the workbook text says about it. Reminding us that we put faith in everything else but God. We take pills to heal us, we make money so we can buy the things we need to have shelter, food, clothes, and other things we believe are necessary. God's love is truly all we need, but it is very hard to see that in an illusory world. Advertising definitely adds to it as well. Buy this style clothes, and look your best, eat this food and you will be stronger and healthier, wear this cologne and women will love how you smell. Oh ya, and get this car, go on this vacation to relax, drink this drink to feel more confident. So, we have had layers and layers of this crap, over and over again. Believing it is all the love of God that keeps us in the light and happy seems a little far fetched. We do need to remember our earlier lesson that says God is in everything. 

 

 

Thinking it Over: So I'm thinking about what things I am putting in the way of God's love. A relationship, feeling special, good looks. It is so deep in our minds that it can be difficult to find, but well worth the look. What things are you putting in the way of knowing God's love? What can you recognize as God's love?

 

 

Tips & Tricks: This little gem of a lesson goes very very deep. We have been closing ourselves off and disguising God's love for so long, when I started looking at it, I was just amazed at how deep in denial I was. But if you do the work to take a good hard look at it you will be amazed too. Another reminder to take good care of yourself and treat yourself gently. These lessons are like sticking pins in a voodoo doll, you never know which one is gonna affect you and in what way, all we know for sure at some point they truly will. Try to keep things as much on an even keel as possible, getting to bed around the same time, remembering to spend time with God, Get up at around the same time, remember to eat regularly and well. I find the routine for me becomes a nice ground and helps me from flying off too far. Kinda like a place for everything and everything in its place.

 

Upon Closing: What a sweet and exciting day, learning about God's love. What it is, what it isn't and how unconditional it is. I feel like getting naked and jumping in the creek, I'm not dirty, just wanna splash around a bit and feel God's love, in one more way. May you guys have a really blessed night, and remember we are all in this together, and will remain together. I love you guys, thanks for being in my life. Love & Light, Riki 🌈
