Extending Miracles - ACIM's Workbook Lesson 21

Extending Miracles:

These are my own healing perspectives on the daily workbook lessons in A Course in Miracles. I am dedicated to the practice of giving and extending miracles.

Lesson 21 of the workbook in A Course in Miracles
“I am determined to see things differently.”

Last night I as I was dreaming (in a sleep mode) I dreamt about my ex and his family. They have been withholding from me everything I own (such as family pictures, personal journals, copies of my unpublished Faery book, furniture, appliances and more), as well as stuff that is my daughters (her crib, clothes, blankets, toys, etc). I have done everything I can think of to try and persuade them to give me my things back, and it has been suggested to me to report it as stolen to the police (it is of course stolen). I have been doing certain visualizations where I visualize myself receiving my stuff back easily, quickly and effortlessly because I really don't want to go to the police.

As a student of A Course in Miracles I have also been practicing continuously giving this to the Holy Spirit. But, whenever I give it to Him I end up pausing and then "taking it back", thinking in the back of my mind, that if I give it to Him I might not ever recive my things back. I think, "Is it Gods Will for me to see that I am not "things" and therefore I must learn this by having my "stuff" taken from me?" Oh boy what in the world am I thinking? I guess I am thinking with the ego and not with the Holy Spirit. I have basically been choosing to identify myself as a "person with things" that were "stolen" and therefore making myself seem like a "victim". I have also been playing out this role that what God wills for me is not happiness or not what I want. I had terrible dreams last night about the anger that I have been holding against my ex and against his family. Wow. I didn't think there was that much anger there.

I was so very grateful and happy to read today's lesson, which is Lesson 21: I am determined to see things differently. This is so very true. I am determined to see things differently. I am determined to see this entire situation differently. I do NOT know what it is for. Holy Spirit does know. I am determined to see my ex differently. I am determinded to see my ex's family differently. I am determined to see myself differently. I want peace. I want the peace of God. I do not really want "stuff" or "things". I really want the peace of God. I really want to see the innocence, love and light in all of my brothers and in myself. I want to truly forgive and see truly. And with the Holy Spirit as my guide, it is inevitable that I will. It is Gods Will that I experience perfect peace and happiness. He did not create me as separate from anyone or anything. I am One with God. I am One with Love. I am Love! And so it is
