Extending Miracles - ACIM's Workbook Lesson 43

Extending Miracles
by, Adrienne Dumas



Lesson 43; God is my source. I cannot see apart from Him.

I awoke this morning feeling very angry. I was angry about many things all of which seem to be keeping peace from me. I wrote down all of the things I felt angry about as a sort of "list". I wasn't sure why I was doing this, but I felt like I really needed to. I was angry about certain situations and at certain people. I was believing in separation and thus experiencing fear.

Then I read todays lesson.It said "perception is not an attribute of God". If God does not percieve, but rather only KNOWS then anger is not an attribute of God because anger comes from wrong percpetion. God only knows me and all of my brothers as ONE. He knows us only as LOVE. How wonderful! I am so grateful that He sees me Truly. I am so grateful that God does not perceive but rather knows only Love. This is what I want - to remember and know only Love and not the illusion of separation.

The lesson also says that for any seeming distressing situation I should say today, "God is my Source. I cannot see this apart from Him.": So, for everything on my "list of anger" I quietly repeated "God is my Source. I cannot see this apart from Him." And for each seeming person that I was angry at I would say, "God is my Source. I cannot see you apart from Him.:

I also felt more peacefulness as I repeated phrases like "I see Truly through the eyes of forgiveness." "The Holy Spirit shows me only a world of Light." " I see the world as blessed." "I see only my own Real thoughts, which are Gods thoughts of Love."

Finally today I also said regarding my seeming "anger situations" which now seem more like Lessons in Forgiveness, of which I am grateful: Holy Spirit, how do you see this? I open my mind to Your healing perception. I see innocence where I once saw guilt. I see peace where I once saw reason for anger. I give these situations to Him and say "I can hardly wait to see the good that comes from this."

To help me release this anger, I visualized the Silver Violet Flame filling this paper. I saw this silver violet flame "erasing" this anger from my body and all karma associated with it. I saw the silver violet flame going into all of these situations, erasing the anger there and releasing it into the Light of God. Holy Spirit then takes my hand and leads me to that quiet, peaceful ocean of love where I can completely let go and Let God. I let go fo my anger, my belief in separation as well as my belief in being a body with a personality. If I have no body, personality or seemingly separate things and people in my "life" then how can I be angered or upset in anyway? My Holy Brothers are One with me. Dreams cannot hurt our Reality for dreams are not real.

Then, I crumbled up the paper and burnt it in my fireplace. I felt lighter and freer for the rest of the day. *And can you believe it, when I crumbled up the paper I got a paper cute. But I told myself, "Dreams cannot hurt me. As Gods Holy Son I exist in eternal peace and ulitimate well-being."

Extending Miracles - ACIM's Workbook Lesson 41

Extending Miracles by, Adrienne Dumas



Lesson 41 of A Course in Miracles Workbook: God goes with me wherever I go.

The only reasons why I seem to experience loneliness or fear of loss, worry, depression, helplessness, misery or suffering at any time in my life is becauase I do not see that "God goes with me wherever I go." If I really remembered that God is always with me, that He is who I am, how could I possibly experience any of these things? But I sometimes do, so I must not remember Him or my Real Self.

The problems that I perceive to be, simply aren't. In Truth I have no problems. In this world of fear I believe that I have problems only because I think that I am separated from God. But God has ensured that my existence is still in Him, forever. It is not any other way. I am not alone and I am not full of the attributes I sometimes give myself. I am problem free in truth! And if I want to experience peace in my so-called outer world, I must go to the cause which is in my mind. If I see chaos and disorder in my mind, then that is what my life will be like. However, if I see and remember the Peace that I AM, I experience more peace in the so-called outer world. I know this is true because so many times I have gone to Him who can show me the Truth in all situations and He brings me absolute peace - he brings me the awareness that I am peace and so are my brothers. Thus, my life becomes more peaceful because it is a reflection of my remembering Heaven. And the "opposite" happens as well (in truth it doesn't actually happen at all) - when I choose ego thoughts I experience more pain because I am perceiving my brothers and God as being separate from me.

Today I choose to laugh at the fear thoughts that are in my mind - indeed these thoughts are not real! Only the thoughts that I think with God are real. Only Love is Real. Love is. God is. I am eternally safe in Him. I choose thoughts of Love now. I choose to open up to Gods glory and as I let go of the dream. Glory to God. Amen.

Extending Miracles - ACIM's Workbook Lesson 39

Extending Miracles by, Adrienne Dumas



Lesson 39: My Holiness is my salvation.

In this lesson it says that "No one needs practice to gain what is already his." I obviously do not fully believe and am not fully aware that "I AM". In truth, practicing A Course in Miracles isn't really about "gaining" what is truly mine, but REMEMBERING what is mine. That is why the course is here - to help us in the process of awakening. It is inevitable to awaken because in Truth we already are.

This lesson also says, "You cannot give what you do not have." If I do not believe that my holiness is my salvation, how may I offer this to my brothers? And if I percieve that I can save myself and no-one else then I cannot be saved because it is in OUR holiness in which I am saved.

*Note: right before writing this blog entry I saw a tiny hand pointing towards the screen. This little hand was on the actual computer (not an image in the computer). I believe it was one of my Faery Guides, a Gossammer Winged Fairy. As of late I have been writing about these Faery Beings including how they are our Sacred Brothers and how some of these Gossammer Winged Fairies have transcended beyond all seeming realms, worlds and deminsions into the Heart of God - their True Self (much like Jesus and other Ascended Masters have done).

Extending Miracles - ACIM's Workbook Lesson 35

Extending Miracles

Lesson 35: My Mind is part of God's. I am very Holy.

I obviously do not see myself as Holyall the time or else I would experience only peace all the time. But, Holy Spirit shows me that this is True and I sometimes feel it and know it to be True. In a way of course I know it to be true but subconsciously I do not. That is why I am so grateful for the course as well as for the Holy Spirit for reminding me of who I am. It sinks in more and more each day that I practice receiving and extending miracles. It sinks in more and more as I read A Course in Miracles and allow my mind to get quiet and go to that still and peaceful place inside that is always there - that is me. Because I am not yet fully awake, I still perceive myself to be living in this world and quiet often I perceive myself to be OF this world. But I am only OF God.

In this lesson it says, "You will believe that you are part of where you think you are. That is because you surround yourself with the environment you want. And you want it to protect the image of yourself that you have made." So I beleive that I am part of this Universe, this galaxy, this world, this country, this state, this county, this town, this home, this family, this body, this personality, etc. I am actually surrounding myself with the environment that I want. And because I feel guilt over seemingly separating from God I have created projection and thus I "want" a world of separation. This also reflects the events that are occuring in my life. I have actually made-up my life story by "siding" with the ego. It's really only when I choose to see all through the eyes of Love that my life reflects His peacefulness. Holy Spirit shows me peace because I have allowed Peace to enter my mind (thus yesturdays lesson "I could see Peace instead of this.").

This lesson also says, "The image is part of this enviornment. What you see while you believe you are in it is seen through the eyes of the image. This is not vision. Images cannot see." How powerful and perception transforming! I created an image of myself as a body, living in this house with "these people" in "this world" on "this realm", etc and then I believe that the image of myself can actually really see. But all there is to see is Love and Oneness and if I am not seeing this, then I am not seeing at all. If my mind is not in a state of peacefulness, reflecting only thoughts of Love I am also actually not thinking at all! Only Gods thoughts are Real.

Today I want to let go of all of the ego-attributes that I have given to myself, all of which are NOT true to the Holy Spirit and allow Him to show me my Real Self. What is my Real Self Holy Spirit? What am I really? Where am I? I exist in the Mind of God. I am Love and Love only.

Extending Miracles - ACIM's Workbook Lesson 32

Extending Miracles

Lesson 32: I have invented the world I see.

1. What does this lesson mean to me?

I am not the victim of the world I see because I have invented it. In this lesson it says that "You can give it up as easily as you made it up." Well it doesn't seem all that easy to give it up. I have so many attachments to "the things of this world" but they are complete illusions! In the course it also says, "When you want it you will see it; when you no longer want it, it will no longer be there for you." I know this is true because I have experienced moments where I decided that I no longer wanted a particular thing or type of situation in my life and it eventually goes away (as soon as I really let go of it). I no longer see or experience that type of thing. The opposite has also happened where I would say I wanted something to no longer be a part of my life yet subconsciously I still wanted it (such as drinking soda or when I used to smoke cigarrettes). And people sometimes reflect upon what they are grateful for in this life and thus they continue to have and experience more of those things. So it should be my goal to give up the illusions - to no longer want it. And then to desire only God - to make God my one and only goal. I am so grateful that in truth God is what I really want and that even if I sometimes think I want something else it is inevitable that I will attain Him! I will realize my True Self!

This reminds me also of addictions - whenever someone has an addiction to anything they are really craving Love. When a drug addict wants more drugs, what he is really craving is Love even though he or she is not aware of it. It's the same with addictions to alchohol, food, caffeine, sex, cigarrettes, etc. We all really want love and sometimes we get confused and think it's something else that we want - only to find that that thing we are craving isn't really what we are truly craving. I believe that the 12 Steps program works for most people who are commited to it because it helps them to also reconnect with their source. And God is the absolute source of all of what we want as well as what we actually are!

2. How can I apply this to my life?
Today I will to remember that I have invented the world I see (inner and outer). I will also ask Him to show me this world as He sees it and ask Him what He would have me do, where He would have me go and what He would have me say. I will to receive a miracle and to extend this miracle to all of my brothers.

Extending Miracles - ACIM's Workbook Lesson 31

Extending Miracles

Lesson 31: I am not the victim of the world I see.

1. What does this lesson mean to me?

I really wish that I would have read this lesson early in the morning like I normally do. On this day I was awakened early and was not able to spend time with the lesson as I normally do each morning (hmm sounds like another "victim" story). I put myself in a "victim" kind of inner-behavior almost the whole day until I came home and read the lesson. I was believing that I was a victim of "many circumstance". I am not the victim of the world I see because I invented this world (whether it is the "outer" world or the "inner" world) and it is simply not real. But I am also determined not to blame myself for any seeming errors, but rather to accept myself and my brothers for the Love that we truly are.

On this day I was watching my mothers "rude behavior to me" and thinking that I was a victim. I was thinking about how my ex and his family stole my things from me and making myself a victim. In one moment I was holding my crying daughter and thinking about how I wish someone were with me to help take care of her instead of being a single parent and thus I was seeing myself as a victim again. Then I was seeing "victim-hood" in others too by listening and believing their stories of being victims whether being victims of a sickness thats "going around" or of other peoples "bad behaviors." Wow not a very fun way of looking at the world or myself. It did not make for a very great day either until I read the lesson and finally went to the Holy Spirit. He showed me that I am not a victim of the world I see. The world as I see it (as the ego sees it) is simply not real. God did not create victimhood - it simply doesn't exist. He created only Love and we are that Love that he created! He also showed me that my sacred brothers cannot be harmed or sick at all because it is not Gods will that we be harmed or sick. Only his Will is true and He wills for us to experience perfect peace and well-being - indeed we are peace and well-being. How could it be any other way? How could we be anything other than perfect Love if that is where we have come from? God isn't stupid or cruel. He is all loving!

2. How can I apply this to my life today?

Today I went to the Holy Spirit and asked him to heal my thoughts of "victimhood". I asked to see as He sees. I was so glad and happy that he showed me the Truth.
