Lesson 173 – God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

A previous meditation returns to me this morning. My mind fills with, “I will step back and let Him lead the way” and the presence of Jesus is here now. He gently pushes my shoulder so that the chronically forward motion of my torso, leaning in towards others, relaxes back into my chair.

My heart expands widely, East and West. “God is but Love, and therefore so am I” feels like a heart opener, a heart softener. “My mind holds only what I think with God,” also arises (from Review IV) … yes, this opens the mind, and “God is but Love, and therefore so am I” opens the heart.  As a lucid dreamer, with the body as my classroom, it seems as if my mind and heart are even more open, willing and available for Guidance than ever.

The feeling is like a healthy, robust, white, fluffy cloud, springy and cheerfully floating … and this cloud-me has the ability to rise into the heavens or float among us with equal ease. It’s not the foggy-blocking-out-God-cloud … it’s a bridge-between-the-body-and-Spirit cloud … sort of angel-like in its undifferentiated Lovingness. The cloud quality also has a soaring angel wingsness to It. As if energy has effortlessly lifted my arms out to either side, fully extended through the fingertips, and my arms are resting on clouds rather than holding themselves up: The Yoga of A Course in Miracles 🙂 This would be an opening of the heart chakra. Namaste.
