Theme: Let my mind be wholly healed today.

W-pI.136.15 I will accept the Truth of what I am, and let my mind be wholly healed today.

God does not tease, taunt or torture us

From David Fishman:

come to "share your mind with Spirit’s Guidance"

Excellent time to share your most inner thoughts...

The Escape from Darkness
The escape from darkness involves two stages: First, the recognition
that darkness cannot hide. This step usually entails fear. Second, the
recognition that there is nothing you want to hide even if you could. T-3.IV.6 Light abolishes darkness merely by showing you it is not there.  Truth will always overcome error in this way.
This step brings escape from fear. When you have become willing to
hide nothing, you will not only be willing to enter into communion but
will also understand peace and joy. Text Ch1.4.1

T-2.I.3. 3 You do not have to continue to believe what is not true unless you choose to do so. 4 All that can literally disappear in the twinkling of an eye because it is merely a misperception. 

W-pI.95.10. Let all errors go by recognizing them for what they are. 2 They are attempts to keep you unaware you are one Self, united with your Creator, at one with every aspect of creation, and limitless in power and in peace. 3 This is the truth, and nothing else is true. 4 Today we will affirm this truth again, and try to reach the place in you in which there is no doubt that only this is true.  

T-9.VII.8. Whenever you question your value, say: 2 God Himself is incomplete without me. 3 Remember this when the ego speaks, and you will not hear it. 4 The truth about you is so lofty that nothing unworthy of God is worthy of you. 

W-pI.67.5.2 You need to hear the truth about yourself as frequently as possible, because your mind is so preoccupied with false self-images.

T-15.I.14. How long is an instant? 4 As long as it takes to exchange hell for Heaven. 5 Long enough to transcend all of the ego's making, and ascend unto your Father. 

T-15.I.2. One source of perceived discouragement from which you may suffer is your belief that this takes time, and that the results of the Holy Spirit's teaching are far in the future. 2 This is not so. 6 And all the waste that time seems to bring with it is due but to your identification (not enslavement, attachment, addiction) with the ego

W-252.1. My Self is holy beyond all the thoughts of holiness of which I now conceive. 2 Its shimmering and perfect purity is far more brilliant than is any light that I have ever looked upon. 3 Its love is limitless, with an intensity that holds all things within it, in the calm of quiet certainty. 4 Its strength comes not from burning impulses which move the world, but from the boundless Love of God Himself. 5 How far beyond this world my Self must be, and yet how near to me and close to God!

W-287.1. 4 What treasure would I seek and find and keep that can compare with my Identity?

W-191.5. 3 For he who can accept his true Identity is truly saved. 

W-152.3. Salvation is the recognition that the truth is true, and nothing else is true.  = all = entire, total, complete, etc

W-224.1. My true Identity is so secure, so lofty, sinless, glorious and great, wholly beneficent and free from guilt, that Heaven looks to It to give itself light. 2 It lights the world as well. 3 It is the gift my Father gave to me; the one as well I give the world. 4 There is no gift but this that can be either given or received. 5 This is reality, and only this. 6 This is illusion's end. 7 It is the truth.

Be aware of your sense of self.   Now notice that it is awareness that is aware of that sense of self.   Now notice that you have to be awareness itself in the first place before you can be aware of seeming to be any other sense of self.   So notice now that what you really are is awareness and not the sense of self that you thought you were.  So now identify yourself as awareness itself instead of that sense of self that you thought you were.   Now feel what it feels like to be awareness itself.   Make awareness itself now your sense of self, knowing yourself as awareness.   Be awareness aware of awareness.   Now notice that awareness has to be Truth because if truth were thought to be anything else there still would have to be awareness to be aware of it.   Now realize that since awareness is Truth, and since there is nothing else besides Truth, then there is nothing else besides awareness.  Realize that your  Identity as awareness is the truth that is all there is.  Realize that all you are ever aware of exists only as your awareness of it.  Say to yourself, my awareness is the substance of all reality, and all reality is the substance of God.

T-28.I.13 4 The trumpets of eternity resound throughout the stillness, yet disturb it not.

T-7.XI.5. 7 Nothing is so easy to recognize as truth..

The more you realize how simple and easy it is to recognize Truth, the more illumined you become. 

T-14.in.1. 4 The Holy Spirit uses logic as easily and as well as does the ego, except that His conclusions are not insane. 5 They take a direction exactly opposite, pointing as clearly to Heaven as the ego points to darkness and to death. 8 Let us now follow the simple logic by which the Holy Spirit teaches the simple conclusions that speak for truth, and only truth.

T-14.II.2The Holy Spirit begins His lesson in simplicity with the fundamental teaching that truth is true.  This is the hardest lesson you will ever learn, and in the end the only one. 

5 Let Me make the one distinction for you that you cannot make, but need to learn. 6 Your faith in nothing is deceiving you

W-pI.107.1 Where truth has entered errors disappear.  They merely vanish, leaving not a trace by which to be remembered.  They are gone because, without belief, they have no life.  And so they disappear to nothingness, returning whence they came. 

T-14.IX.1.10 The past that you remember never was, and represents only the denial of what always was.

Truth is entirety, totality, completeness, perfection, harmony, oneness, love, absoluteness, infinity, illumination, wisdom, ecstasy, freedom, peace, joy, happiness, wonder, delight, curiosity, fulfillment, satisfaction, vision, awareness, kindness, abundance, innocence, holiness, intimacy, purity, omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, instantaneity and eternality.  

Constant state of forgiveness.

Remember, my awareness is the substance of all reality, and all reality is the substance of God.  That leaves nothing to resist, avoid, deny, correct, negate, reject, hide, hide from, escape or overcome, but instead simply everything to love. T-3.II.3. 5 If nothing but the truth exists, right-minded seeing cannot see anything but perfection.  And if nothing but the Truth exists, there can’t be anything but right-minded seeing. 

W-pII.1.4:1,4 Forgiveness is still, and quietly does nothing . . . It merely looks, and waits, and judges not.

Truth says Love unconditionally, and everything either resonates or evaporates.  Simply say yes. No disappears; from your very being no disappears. Does light say no to darkness? T-3.IV.6 Light abolishes darkness merely by showing you it is not there.  Truth will always overcome error in this way. When there is no no, how can you struggle?  You simply float. You simply merge and melt.  Fear/aggression is replaced with Dilation and merge. 

You can judge and resist and deny and correct all you like, but the more you resist, the more it will persist.  But if you accept, it will either resonate or evaporate.  Because love is truth, error evaporates in its presence just like darkness evaporates in the presence of light.  Truth doesn’t destroy it, truth doesn’t cause it to evaporate, Truth doesn’t nuke it out of existence.  Truth is just truth, and error evaporates because it’s not there. T-14.II.3The Holy Spirit says, with steadfast quietness, The truth is true.  Nothing else matters, nothing else is real, and everything beside it is not there.

Joseph Chilton Pearce, the Magical Child

In the workbook we read, Forgiveness "is still, and quietly does nothing. . . It merely looks, and waits, and judges not" (W.pII.1.4:1,4).   No judgment.  It’s so simple.

God is all there is right here, not somewhere else.
