Extending Miracles - ACIM's Workbook Lesson 28

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 28: Above All Else I want to see things differently.

1. What does this lesson mean to me?

Everyday I still perceive things as separate from me. I see a table, a chair, a television, a heater, a body, another body, a lamp, a clock. a hand, a laptop, etc. I am seeing separateness and I am not seeing truly. This lesson is so very important because it reminds me that I want to see all of these "things" differently. I want to see God. I do not want to see a chair and then a table and then whatever else may appear to be "separate" from me. I want to see my Oneness with God and all that is. In this lesson it says, " You see a lot of separate things about you, which means you are not seeing at all." This is why Jesus said "They are blind and cannot see." I am not seeing the truth but I have the means to be able to see the Truth and for that I am truly grateful! The Holy Spirit can show me the truth if I am only willing to see. That willingness can bring tremendous peace and joy. The lesson also says "When you have seen one thing differently, you have seen all things differently." This means that it does not matter what I am looking at because all "things" are One. When I am able to let go of my past thoughts and preconceived ideas about that "thing" (which is Forgiveness) and when I allow my mind to be OPEN to what It Is and what it is really for then I receive a true Miracle. I have to really let go of the meaning I have given that thing and open up to it's real purpose and meaning. In the lesson it says, "Hidden under all your ideas about it is it's real purpose, the purpose it shares with all the universe." I do not know what it is for, but Holy Spirit does.

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

Today I can repeat to myself, Above all else I want to see _________________ differently. And I can ask Him to show me how to see, if I am so willing to truly see it differently - and he will show me the truth.

3. Message from the Holy Spirit

You will see all things differently, for it is inevitable that you will see all things truly. For all things are One existing in the Mind of God. This, you know to be true. And you know yourself to be the Truth. Continuing your daily practice of receiving and extending miracles will bring you closer to this truth on the level of "time." But truly you will reach your One and only goal because it is God's Will. And so it is.

4. My message to the Holy Spirit

Thank you so much Holy Spirit. I truly want to see all things as You see it.

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

Radiating Perfect Health and Well-Being

Radiating Perfect Health and Well-Being
by, Adrienne Dumas

www.freewebs.com/faeriesandangelsmagazine/index.htm

In A Course in Miracles the Holy Spirit reminds us that the only purpose of the body is to extend Love. A Course in Miracles says, "Health is the result of relinquishing all attempts to use the body lovelessly. Health is the beginning of the proper perspective on life under the guidance of the one Teacher Who knows what life is, being the Voice for Life Itself." - Text Chapter 8; VIII: 9 and 10 -

In order to experience perfect health and well-being, which is your true inherent nature, you must see the body as He sees it. Experiencing perfect health and well-being, is to know that the body only seems to be here in order to help you to extend Love to all of your brothers. This is the bodies only purpose. The body has no function in itself alone because the body, as perceived by the world, is not real. Every cell in your body is really a thought - your body is the result of thought. Today we are going to infuse those thoughts with Light, so that your body, which is a collection of thought, is aligned with the mind of God. In other words, we are going to work with Him to release all thoughts that are not true, and align ourselves with only the thoughts of Love. These thoughts of Love are Gods thoughts and they are the only real thoughts that have any real effect.

Try the meditation below to help you to experience the radiant, perfect health and well-being that God Wills for you:

Allow yourself to relax and let your breathing become slow and deep . . . read the following slowly in your mind . . . and visualizing the following . . .

I now go to that quiet place within my mind . . .

I now see an ocean of Light within my mind . . .

I feel Love vibrating within and around this Ocean of Light . . . This ocean of Love . . .

I allow myself to feel perfectly peaceful and at ease, surrendering any and all thoughts and feelings associated with discomfort to the Light of God within my mind . . .

I now see my thoughts and feelings moving away from me, like clouds slowly moving behind me as I begin to embrace the sunlight . . . embracing the Light of God . . . watching as the clouds, the thoughts, dissapate into the nothingness that they really are . . .

I feel myself to be One with this Ocean of Light and Love . . .

Now I say the following prayer:

Today I surrender my thoughts about this body to the Holy Spirit. I pray to see my body as He sees it. I ask Him, "How would you have me use my body today? How may my body help You to extend Love to All? What would you have me do today Dear God? What would you have me say and to whom?" I now see that every cell in my body is infused with Light. I am willing to let go of all of my thoughts that are focused upon the past. I give all of these thoughts to the Holy Spirit, who is the Voice for God always existing in my mind. I surrender them into His loving hands. I surrender all of my thoughts and beliefs, conscious and unconscious, to Him who sees all Truly. I ask to see my body and my life anew. I pray for a Miracle, a change in perception.

Now I return to the Ocean of Light and Love . . .

Every cell of my body now radiates with the Light of God . . . My body is a collection of Light . . . I no longer see my body as separate from me or anyone else . . . It is Light and Love Eternally . . . I am One with this Light and Love . . . I am Light and Love and nothing else.

My Holy Self, by Adrienne Dumas

My Holy Self by, Adrienne Dumas

My Holy Self is pure Love. I am Eternal and True. I exist as Love in the Heart of God.

In this new year of my life I choose to see others as the Love that they are instead of seeing them as ego personalities. My new values include being kind and gentle with myself and others because I have come from kindness and gentleness and this is what I choose to radiate. I now pay more attention to the vibrations that I am sending out/vibrating and I work to shift my vibrations when appropriate so that I a may be aligned with Gods vibrations of Love, Light, Peace and Joy.

I now spend more time in the mornings with GOD and the Holy Spirit. I now share ACIM's lessons and healing insights with others (who also practice ACIM's and any who are willing and want to listen) and I practice recieving and extending Miracles everyday. I now practice seeing the Love and Light in ALL. I now practice quieting my mind to receive His vision. I now practice true forgiveness daily with the Holy Spirit and I let go of the past as well as my thoughts about the future and I allow myself to be live fully in the NOW.

My new daily behaviors include being more gentle, kind and loving to myself and others. I am also now more focused and present with what I am doing, who I am talking to, etc. The voice for God speaks to me in the stillness of my thoughts while I am fully present in the moment. I now pay attention more to having my thoughts healed and being in perfect alignment with God's Will. I now express my Inner Joy by being a kind, loving and joyful person and having a clean and fun sense of humor.

I no longer hold onto grudges, resentments or thoughts of dis-ease, loneliness, seeming lack, etc. I now see everyone and myself anew. I choose to see as God sees and the Holy Spirit corrects my perceptions. I now experience a life of abundance, joy, peace, happiness, well-being, wholeness and holiness now. I have a very positive attitude about things and life in general, knowing that God goes with me wherever I go. I now radiate beauty and light as I remember that I have come from beauty and light. Heaven is my True Home.

This new year of my life will be as God Wills it - perfectly happy, peaceful, healthy, abundant, joyful and miraculous.

And so it is.

Amen

"I now give my gift of LOVE to the world because I am Love. I offer quiet blessings, gentleness, peace and Love to all."

Lesson 14: God did not create a meaningless world.

The world is of my own making, and it does not exist. What God did not create does not exist. And everything that does exist exists as He created it. I am so very grateful that war, dis-ease, violence, anger, fear, loneliness, seeming lack or deprevation are not real. I am so very grateful that only Love is real. I am so grateful that the idea of separate bodies could never be real. I am so very grateful for my Oneness in God. God is not responsible for the seeming pain, injustice, death and destruction in this world and that seem or may seem to be in all worlds/realms in the Omniverse. In fact, these things are not even real at all. Only Love can be real and only Love IS real. The course uses the word love many times and when communing with the Holy Spirit I hear the word "Love" quiet often - but Love is not something that can be defined in words. God is not something to be defined with words. I am not something to be defined with words. Love can only be experienced and it is beyond mere description.

Today I want to extend quiet blessings to the world. Today I choose to remember who I am, for this is the Salvation of the world.

Holy Spirits Message To Me:

You may find this lesson to be challenging or even difficult. It is only to be practiced for a minute, about 3 times today unless you find it comfortable. However, you do not find this lesson to be comfortable just yet. That is ok. As soon as you are finished with todays lesson I will show you who you really are. This reminder will fill your heart with the joy and gratitude of your Beingness as Love and nothing else.

My message to Holy Spirit:

Thank You so much Holy Spirit!

Lesson 15: My thoughts are images that I have made.

In this lesson it says, "You will begin to understand it when you have seen little edges of light around the same familiar objects . . . As we go along you may have many 'light episodes'. They may take many different forms, some of them quite unexpected. Do not be afraid of them." I have been seeing sparkles of light - light that seems "otherwordly" for the past few nights right after reading my workbook lesson (I read the lessons in the morning and right before sleep).

Lesson 8: My Mind is Preoccupied with Past Thoughts

What does this lesson mean to me?

"No one really sees anything. He sees only his thoughts projected outward." -ACIM's-

Even when I am looking at a flower, I am not really seeing it. I am thinking about - unconsciously - my past experiences with flowers. I am thinking about how it felt to touch this type of flower, how it smelt, who once picked these flowers for me, my favorite artists that draw images of these flowers, or my experiences with flower Faeries (all from the past). Wow. Where did the flower go? I am not really seeing it. Even the act of naming something is to believe that it is separate from me and to name something also has everything to do with our past. On my own I cannot grasp the present, which is the only time there is. I was thinking about my daughter and the moment she first "appeared" in this world. Was she fully in the present? I honestly believe that she was probably thinking about being in the womb (her past) and perhaps when she was in the womb she was thinking about a past life or her past experiences on The Other Side. We reincarnate, have different realms and deminsions to go in and out of all because we believe in time. But only the present moment is real. To think about the past is to think about illusions. When I am thinking about the past or anticipating the future my mind is actually BLANK because the mind is not thinking about anything at all. Many people talk about living in the present moment and others say to visualize a better future but in truth there is no future at all. There is only now. Any thoughts about a "future" or a "past" are insane thoughts.

The lesson today is to help me to recognize when I am not really thinking at all. Only the thoughts I think with God are real and any thoughts that are not focused on the PRESENT ETERNAL REALITY are not real. And while all of these sensless thoughts are occupying my mind the Truth is being blocked out. This is why it is so important to still and quiet my mind. This is why it is important to ask Him, the Holy Spirit who is the voice for God, to align my thoughts with Gods thoughts - which are my only true thoughts. No matter how vividly I may picture a thought (with physical eyes or in my mind) I am not really seeing anything. Only the thoughts that are aligned with God are true and it is only then that I am seeing Truly.

Quantum Physics is showing us that the world as we see it is a result of our thoughts - a result of our thinking. The course goes even further into detail as to show you that your thoughts are almost always preoccupied with the past - so everything that you "see" is actually the past. It tells us that only when your thoughts are aligned with Gods thoughts, which are your only real thoughts, are you then seeing truly.

How can I apply this Lesson to my life?

I seem to be thinking about ____________________________.

When I find myself really mind wondering and feeling not in the present moment at all, I can repeat to myself "I only seem to be thinking about _______________." I must be very specific and name every thought so as not to be discriminate. "I only seem to be thinking about my magazine. I seem to be thinking about getting my things back from Matthew. I seem to be thinking about my daughter watching a cartoon. I seem to be thinking about writing this journal entry.I seem to be thinking about my mom. I seem to be thinking about feeling worried. I seem to be thinking that I have so many thoughts.

But my mind is preoccupied with past thoughts.

Message from the Holy Spirit:

If you really want to see a flower, then you will see past thoughts. However, if you want to see God you will see the flower as LOVE and nothing else. A flower, a human-being, an animal, a planet, a galaxy, a universe -- it is all the same. When you name something you are seeing the past. When you perceive anything to be outside of you you are seeing wrongly. All is Love. All has always been Love and will always be Love, existing only in the Eternal Present Moment.

My Message to Holy Spirit: Wow thank you so much for this and for todays lesson.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today I awoke and was thinking about getting my things from my ex-boyfriend. He has everything that I own, and stuff for my daughter and I woke up feeling angry and anxious to "get my things back." Then, I read today's lesson. Lesson 8 of A Course in Miracles workbook: My mind is preoccupied with past thoughts. I also read the following quote: “Look gently on your brother, and behold the world in which perception of your hate has been transformed into a world of love.” (T-26. V.14:5)
I have been seeing my brother wrongly. I have been looking at him as a separate entity, someone who wants to or "is" hurting me. This is not the truth. He is Gods Holy and Precious Child existing as Love for Eternity. We are One Love in the Mind of God. And because we exist as Love in the Mind of God RIGHT NOW I cannot possibly be hurt and I cannot possibly hurt another. I was also perceiving my "things" as separate from me - but my "things" are really only thoughts about "my past" which doesn't exist. I have also been believing that I am "lacking". But I cannot lack anything because the truth is that I am One with Gods Infinite Abundance. I now choose to let the past go and embrace Gods Vision. I give to him all of my thoughts and feelings associated with these insane thoughts and I ask that I may see this clearly. I pray for a Miracle. I ask for His Guidance and that His Will may be done. I no longer wish to see the world as a place of hurting one another. I desire to see only the True World, which is Gods World of Love. This is my true Home. This is my true Beingness. Amen.

Lesson 5: I am never upset for the reason I think.

What does this lesson mean to me?

Any form of upset, that may "show up" as fear, worry, depression, anxiety, anger, hatred, jealousy, boredom, stress, etc. are all the SAME and are all equally disturbing to my peace of mind. I have come from a place of perfect peace and I am just like what I have come from. So therefore I am like God - perfectly peaceful now and for eternity. When I see myself or perceive myself as anything other than being at peace I am seeing wrongly and thinking with the ego. I do not want to hold onto these thoughts of fear, sadness, depression, anxiety, worry, anger, hatred, jealousy, boredome, etc. I do not want their seeming effects in my life because they do not represent who I really am. I want the peace of God.

How can I apply this to my life?

In order to truly experience peace - the Peace of God - I must let these thoughts go by first acknowledging them and then by giving them to the Holy Spirit. So today I acknowledge all of those negative feelings and negative thoughts that I have - the ones that make me feel "upset". I release them to Him who can heal my mind. I also release all of my thoughts to him, the ones that I label as "good" and the ones that I label as "bad". I give it all to Him who heals my mind - who helps me to see and remember that All is Well and all has always been well. I exist in the Heart/Mind of God -- the Heart/Mind of Love!

Holy Spirits Message to Me:

Your right mind is always perfectly aligned with Gods thoughts of Love because your right mind is God. I can help you to see truly, but only when you allow me. You are on a path of gentle awakening and I am always here. I am always with you. I will never leave you. Reach out to me and I will gladly take away those fears, which are nothing and transform your mind into a space of peaceful tranquility. I Love You for Love is who We are.

My message to Holy Spirit:

Thank you so much Holy Spirit. A space of peaceful tranquility sounds perfect to me! That is what I want. May I remember my goal today. Amen.

Lesson 4: These thoughts do not mean anything. They are like the things I see in this room.

1. What does this lesson mean to me?

My thoughts do not really mean anything. I often label my thoughts as either good or bad, negative or positive. But the truth is that only the thoughts I think with GOD are real. Only the thoughts of Love and Oneness are true. And I can only experience these thoughts when I quiet my mind and ask for a miracle - a change in perception. It is then that the Voice for God reveals my true thoughts - the only thoughts that have any true meaning and power - which are thoughts of Love.

2. Message from the Holy Spirit:

Your thoughts only seem to attract to you that which you are thinking and vibrating but the truth is that you cannot possibly be separate from anyone or thing in relation to Love. When your thoughts and emotions are aligned with Love, you are thinking with God. If you look at the world with me you will see all truly and you will reflect truth - you are the Truth. You are not your body, personality, job, home, or seeming lack there-of. You are not your relationships, your money, your tastes and interests. You are not what you seem to do or even think. Your everyday thoughts are not a true reflection of who you really are. You are Holy and Whole in God. You are Gods Holy Child, full of Light and shining/extending this Light and Love to All. You are all that is and your holy brothers are One with you existing as Eternal Love and Light.

3. My message to Holy Spirit:

Thank you so much holy spirit. I sometimes get caught up in thinking about my thoughts. How crazy is that? I feel total ease and comfort and tremendous gratitude that I can come to you and see Truly. MAHALO!
