Daily Welcome:  Yay and Hi sweet ones, I can see your smiling faces and feel your love from here. Another day of moving forward with allowing our minds to be ordered in the most miraculous fashion. I so love the way the Course works, I don't judge it, I just do it and somewhere in the middle it works. Today's lessons are dedicated to that crazy little thing called love. So put on your coolest heart clothes and let's do group hugs and get ready to rumble. Sharing my love with you and my passion for the Course makes my life all worthwhile.

 

Prayer: My blessed Father, thank you for creating me and wanting to play with me. Sometimes we chase monsters and sometimes monsters chase us, sometimes they die, and sometimes we do, but it is all about hanging with my Dad, and knowing He loves me so much that He is always with me. Please help me to not fear, and to know that nothing can harm me ever, and that when I think I am little and stupid, I am really just caught up in the game of pretending cause I am as powerful as my Dad. Blessed and Wholly Spirit, please guide me and teach me to be as good at lovin as you are, allways.

 

 

Workbook Lesson:  "Review of Lessons 67 – 68"

 

"Love created me like itself." – I so love being reminded of this truth over and over again, that God is love and I am love. The coolest thing is that when I release and forgive more and more the illusions and stories and memories in my mind, and stop writing the scripts as much as possible, and not react as much, guess what, I feel the love even more. I just have an internal sense of joy and happiness that isn't based on external circumstances, it just is. God just is love, and I am too.

 

"Love holds no grievances." – That precious and beautiful state of oneness called love can hold no judgement or anger, because those grievances are the results of perceived separateness, like cracks in a foundation, releasing and forgiving the grievances erases the cracks.

 

 

Thinking it Over: So, I got to thinking about how I express love and how I block and distort love. It's so interesting how the grievances can really play with my head. I start feeling unlovable and unsafe and then worthless, so at that point the fear overrides everything and runs the show. I become suspicious and judging everything and everyone. So, the answer is when I can just accept me for where I am and how I feel, and then ask the Wholly Spirit to help me see things differently. I become unstuck and as my thoughts shift, the Miracle is seen right behind it. So how do you express love? How do you block and distort it?

 

 

Tips & Tricks: When it comes to feeling love and sabotaging it I am a real pro. I get all excited about the idea that I am made of love and then these crazy thoughts come in and blow my feelings of love and oneness all to hell. When I can stay on an even keel and just stay in the flow the better off I am, kinda like working my program to the best of my ability. Talking to God, getting my rest, keeping God in my hip pocket regularly, and keeping up on the TLC are all part of the process that brings me back to recognizing the love I am.

 

Upon Closing: That was an interesting jog down the path of awakening, I actually started to see a little that I wasn't really a body and that I wasn't really here anyway. The Wholly Spiritual Universe is just a big ball of light and sound frequencies that like playdough we can turn into anything we like. I allways enjoy our time together, learning about learning and feeling the magic everywhere. I think a nice little skinny dip at the creek would be in order and just taking those few minutes to breathe in All There Is. Please enjoy your lovely God sponsored day and have a peaceful night, and I'll see ya in the morning. 

Love & Light, Riki 🌈

Workbook Lesson 83

 

"Review of Lesson 65 – 66"

 

Interpreted by Roberta Gallop

 

Daily Welcome:  Hey determined and amazing students of the Course, once again we meet up to go forward in the most freeing and beautiful of ways. There is nothing like sticking together as we work on reaching oneness and letting go of separation. Today is "magical day", so let's get out our best magical gear and costumes and enjoy this bubbly and sparkly day as we poof on down the road. Big group hugs and so much love and gratitude for the compassion along the way.   

 

 

Prayer: Loving Christ, I know on some level that I am you, because you thought me into existence, and that we are all one. But because of the level distortion I am having a hard time grasping the concept, even though I want to with all my heart. Please help me to understand. Blessed and Wholly Spirit, please guide us along the journey and please remove the confusion so we can feel the oneness of love and accept and know who we are. Dear God, as we get closer to you, take the last step so we may awaken and remember.

 

 

Workbook Lesson:  "Review of Lesson 65 – 66"

 

"My only function is the one God gave me." – It is so easy to get caught up in the world's yardstick and how things are supposed to be. We as humans can get pulled in so many directions with which script and which set of expectations and obligations we are supposed to follow, or risk the wrath of God's displeasure. So, this lesson brings a whole lot of relief with it. God has only given me one function, to be the light of the world. Now that sure is a relief as opposed to making gobs of money, being ravishingly beautiful (never happen), and being the best at everything. I just need to be the light I am and shine it to the best of my ability.

 

"My happiness and my function are one." – It's kinda funny that we all have the same function, to bring light to the world, but in what manner we do that is completely by God's design. So, I feel what this lesson is talking about is the way God shows us what our calling is, by filling our heart with joy the closer we get to doing what He would have us do.

 

 

Thinking it Over:  When I am doing the right thing to bring salvation to the world, I feel such a beautiful sense of wholeness and devotion and a deep and powerful love.  And it doesn't really matter what specifically what I am doing, like washing dishes, or getting water for someone, or anything else. It is more of that feeling of rightness as I am doing it. I have come to know my function as a light bearer, a holder of light. I know it sounds kinda lofty, but wherever I am I raise vibrations just by being there. What is your function? How does it show up for you?

 

 

Tips & Tricks: The biggest tip I can think of today is to just accept yourself wherever you are at the time. Taking the Course is a process of ordering the mind that is gonna take as long as it is gonna take. There are no shortcuts to enlightenment, the shortcut is in allowing the process to happen and have the faith that it will.  I can almost mark my time in the Course by my willingness to surrender, forgive, and let the process happen. I am still very capable of getting all twisted up, and confusion becomes the order of the day, so continuing to do the lessons as they are written one a day. And taking time to be with spirit in the morning, night and throughout the day, can help to keep me on track.

 

Upon Closing: We did it again, another lesson, another insight, more and more and more. I swear this path wouldn't be near as much fun without you. And just in case you were wondering, that hodgepodge of color was me in my "rainbow sprinkle fairy" outfit. Have an awesome day and a restful night and remember you matter in my life. Love & Light, Riki 🌈

"Review of Lessons 63 – 64"

 

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 🌈
