Interpreted by Roberta Gallop

 

Daily Welcome:  Hey sweet buddies, I so love your big smiles. The Course puts us on an emotional roller coaster ride right from the start, happy, sad, confused, glad, depressed. As the ordering slowly works its way inside it was not hard for me to do an impression of an emotional basket case. So, for now just this moment, big hugs all around as we wiggle on down the road.

 

 

Prayer: Blessed Father, I love you, but I get so scared and confused and get afraid you aren't there for me or that I am doing something wrong and just can't get it. Please help me to know I already got it. Please help me to know the strength and power I possess, and feel you deep within me, and know us as one. Blessed and Wholly Spirit please be with me always and change my perspective so that as I awaken, I awaken the world. Thank you f0or guiding us, and thank you for teaching us, allways.

 

 

Workbook Lesson:  "Review of Lessons 63 – 64"

 

"The light of the world brings peace to every mind through my forgiveness." – I think of the many ways I have devised to block the light within and as I work on releasing and forgiving the light I hold within, my light shines and I bring peace of mind to the world. It is so easy to talk about and even to conceptualize, but it is a lot harder when you are in the middle of it.

 

 

"Let me not forget my function." -  The function God has given me, and the specific way He has given me to do it are so important. Sometimes I can see things so crystal clear, and other times I just feel so murky. It's like a big humungous jigsaw puzzle and God just dumped the whole box out and each piece is designed to be part of the whole puzzle. If my cute little jaggy piece was missing, the puzzle wouldn't be complete. And actually, I'm not really a body me, I'm a thought me.

 

 

Thinking it Over: These lessons like most of them give me a lot to process. The Course brings it to us in so many ways, and the concept is starting to sink through. Slowly there is less of my illusions, and more of the quietness that doesn't include my stray thoughts everywhere. I am amazed at how fast I can create a story or make myself feel miserable. I have struggled with the need to feel special for a long time, and by forgiveness I have been able to release more of the feelings and manipulation attached to it and get into it a lot less. Being able to recognize that reaching to others to validate my worth is not only ineffective, but also futile. How do you hide your light from yourself? What stories do you have to tell yourself that can block your awareness of the light?

 

 

Tips & Tricks: Learning how to navigate the "knowledge of good and evil" that created the illusion of separation in the first place and forgiving so that all can be seen as neutral is a tall order, it makes me shudder when I look at how I have divided and judged everything in my life, many times over. So, using forgiveness as an eraser is a big deal. Please remember that awakening is not a race and that when and how we awaken has already been determined, so all that is really asked of us to continue and want it above all else.

 

Upon Closing: Wow, that was a trip and a half, I am glad you guys were with me, sometimes it is smooth sailing and sometimes it gets a little odd, but however it gets you guys are allways right there, and we love and support each other. My belly is rumbling, so I think it's probably time to head on down to the potluck at the church and get some yummy molasses beans and biscuits, and I love the cider there too. Please have an enlightened rest of your day and a gentle night, and I'll see ya in the morning.

Love & Light, Riki 🌈

Daily Welcome:  Hi my buddies and fellow explorers, another day another lesson all beautiful and full of love, like us. I am right here for ya, a little slow and a little weary, but we are all one, and I so enjoy our togetherness, our bonding. I hope your night was peaceful and that the Course is helping you in the ways you most need it. Big hugs all around as we go for it another awesome day.

 

 

Prayer: Blessed and Wholly Spirit, thank you for always being with us and showing us that we truly are not alone. The desire to awaken is strong in us, but this whole thing of taking spiritual frequencies and distorting them into our fantasies is something we truly do need help with. Please help us learn to release and forgive our pattern of living, so we can just go with the flow of who we truly are. Thank you for loving us and showing us our world differently. Thank you for teaching us, allways.

 

Workbook Lesson:  "Review of Lessons 61 – 62"

 

"I am the light of the world" – It is such a wonderful reminder of who I am, and that my function is to bring light to this dark world of illusion that we are in. On the other side of the illusion, we are light, and on this side of the illusion we are light for that matter, we just are not as in touch with it. The split in our minds causes us to see and focus on separation. The illusion is of having a self and the ability to choose whatever we want whenever we want. So, it is wonderful as we start recognizing more and more the light we are connected to.

 

"Forgiveness is my function as the light of the world." – My function here is to dispel the darkness and the way I do that is to surrender and release the grievances through the process of forgiveness, not just forgiving the situation, but forgiving and forgetting the situation to the point of having no memory or connection to it at all. Like a spiritual pacman, yum, yum, yum.

 

 

Thinking it Over: Another set of reviews, I like them better with the 2 format instead of the 5, cause it's like smelling 2 flowers at once instead of 5, I get a more distinctive bouquet and a better understanding of how the lessons blend together. These blend together very nicely, reminding me I am a bringer of light to the world through my ability to forgive. Definitely a message I don't think of often enough. I do know when I make a steady diet of forgiveness, I feel a whole hellava lot better. So as fellow light bearers, what do you do to bring in the light? Have you made a habit of forgiveness?

 

 

Tips & Tricks: Sometimes it's Important to just take a spa day, slow down and smell the roses, still do your lesson and exercises, but treat yourself with extra love and respect. Please remember that A Course in Miracles is developed to train our minds, so we can release the world we have created and at last see who we truly are as the Son of God. In the process of this, I have a tendency to get squirrelly and unsure of exactly what is goin on, I believe in the process, so doing what needs to be done as gentle as possible is a must, and it does help to reach to the Wholly Spirit as much as possible, so we don't feel alone on the journey. If you are journaling it can be helpful to look back on your earlier entries and see how much you are learning and growing, cause as we go forward with the Course day to day, we don't always see it.

 

Upon Closing: That was a pleasant jaunt, the birds singing, the butterflies, fluttering everywhere, and a real sense of all is well. I have found the best way to do the Course, is simply to do the Course, without expectations of what will happen and why, just that God's driving and that's all that matters, cause He knows where we are going. Have a blessed night and we will go for it again tomorrow. Love & Light, Riki 🌈

Workbook Lesson 80

 

"Let me recognize my problems have been solved."

 

Interpreted by Roberta Gallop

 

Daily Welcome:  Hi my high-flying lovelies, it is so nice to connect with you and know I am not alone. To have others to hangout with that want enlightenment as much as I do is a complete honor. The coolest thing is we keep on keepin on, there is just something designed in us that pushes us ever onward and inward to the truth, and we won't settle for anything less. Today there looks like some rocks and hills on the path, but we can handle it. Big group hug and let's enjoy.

 

 

Prayer: Dear Wholly Spirit, we can get so lost in the dream and tangled in the web of deception we put on ourselves, please guide us out of the illusions, please help us to know the truth and power we inherently have, to get out. Please help us to accept things as they are, and realize everything is designed for our salvation, for our miraculous return to at-one-ment. Thank you for guiding us, and thank you for teaching us allways.

 

 

Workbook Lesson:  "Let me recognize my problems have been solved." This one brings some major relief with it, because after trying to figure out if and where we even have problems, it feels so good to know I had problems and they have been solved. But then again, it is kinda funny when you think about it, the problems were of my own making when I thought I had free-will, but now that I see I never had real free-will just the illusion of it, the truth is I never had any problems to be solved in the first place, just my accepting the truth. That I am God's Son and am already perfect and innocent.  As I truly believe this, I open myself up to God's sight and I no longer need to stay in a state of separation. It is such a freeing feeling to know I can't screw it up. To me the world here is like a clear glass fishbowl and all who are in it see things a certain way, we have the illusion of free-will. Now the reality is everything outside the fishbowl is the truth, is the oneness of who we truly are.

 

 

 

Thinking it Over: I know my fishbowl analogy sounds odd, but just think about it, you have this round clear bowl, open at the top so the energy of love (air) can come into everything, but the problem is we think we can only survive in water (illusions, stories, images, rules, regulations). The only way out is to go up and release our self-identity as water–breathers, after taking the leap, we will go into extreme panic and fear and feel like we are dying, (after all everyone knows we are supposed to live in water) and finally we recognize our true identity as love. I am taking the leap. Are you?

 

 

Tips & Tricks: Yaaahhhoooo, we are innocent, our problems are solved, our salvation is already assured. Learning to surrender our illusions and grievances and forgive all our memories on all levels and all ways. Don't worry it doesn't have to be done overnight, I find what works best is I keep asking Wholly Spirit to bring them up, and as they show up, I release and forgive them. The more I can accept me for where I am, the better I do. I notice it makes a real difference when I work on not defining situations and just letting stuff happen.

 

Upon Closing: I do so enjoy our walks; I learn so much and am grateful for the friendly company. I am not sure how I am feeling after this one, kinda relieved and not, all at the same time. I am gonna do some journaling so I can see what is bubbling up in there, I have found over the years that simply taking time to check in can make a huge difference. Let's take a nice float in the creek and let it all go. Have a blessed day and a gentle night, and I'll see ya again tomorrow.

Love & Light, Riki 🌈
