Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

Your grace is given me … my heart starts filling with love like a helium balloon … in no time, I am with the Heart and it is Full … full with One Life, full with One Love, full with Unified All expanding forever in directionless everywhere … it’s like I’ve popped out of myself and into Everything Else which is ever-extending Well-Beingness … the Truth is True.

Lesson 178 – God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

If I let not my mind deny the Thought of God, then I will become aware of the gifts of God with which I am entrusted.  Say not “no” to God.  Stop saying “no” to God.  Yes, we have no bananas.  No, we have the Big Banana!  Always have, always will.  Willingness is the key — being willing to plug my will into His Will and zzzzz the dream flatlines and Reality Shines.  God is but Love, and therefore so am I 🙂

LESSON 178

God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

(163)   Let not my mind deny the Thought of God.

God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

(164)   I am entrusted with the gifts of God.

God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

Lesson 177 – God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

Death is just an imagined black sheet over Light.  We tossed it around a thought of ourselves to fence God in to individual lots (separate bodies).  And we gave this black sheet properties of heaviness and hardness so the darkness seems impenetrable and factual. But in the eternal Now we are the Light we’ve always been.  Changing the mind is like emerging from under the black sheet of brick and mortar and discovering the coverings were fantasy–our own dark fantasy.

LESSON 177

God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

(163)   There is no death.  The Son of God is free.

God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

(164)   Now are we one with Him Who is our Source.

God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

Lesson 176 – God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

There is an internal rush which leads to an eternal stillness.  There is a rainbow-arc bridge elevating the formless me, the thought of me, upward.  There is the breath and me as wave-form, a vaporous and then invisible rolling wave from toe to crown … a Cuban-motion-bodyless body-rolling-mermaid-in-the-sky … then–a great sense of pleasure, a spiritual orgasm, anandamaya kosha, an opening, a letting go, a no-more-me-All-of-We.  But, as Frank Sinatra sang, “The best is yet to come” 🙂  …  I am as God created me … God Is.

LESSON 176

God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

(161)  Give me your blessing, holy Son of God.

God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

(162)  I am as God created me.

God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

Lesson 175 – God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

Love is a circle. I give the miracles I have received, and I receive the miracles that I give — if I am willing to accept Love.  Yes, I very much am willing to accept Love.  At first, accepting Love/receiving miracles felt uncomfortable and undeserved.  That is all the past; receptivity feels natural now.

Home is Love and Love is Home.  When I seem to leave Home by dreaming I have separated from God, I feel fear.  Feelings are not facts, therefore fear is not real.  Nothing unreal exists, nothing Real can be threatened.  Herein lies the peace of God.  God is but Love, and therefore so am I 🙂

LESSON 175

God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

(159) I give the miracles I have received.

God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

(160) I am at home. Fear is the stranger here.

God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

Lesson 174 – God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

As I disregard the personalities, and concentrate on the Light within the cloak of individuality, the Sameness is obvious.  Each seemingly separate Light expands until we all intermingle and there is only All of Us.  Giving and receiving become the very same thing — loving/extending/expanding.  And entering into His Presence is something that happens so naturally that it’s more of an un-happening of the busy doingness of the ego mind.  What seemed hard is easy.  What seemed painful is peaceful.  What seemed like many is One.

LESSON 174

God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

(157)   Into His Presence would I enter now.

God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

(158)   Today I learn to give as I receive.

God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

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.

cloud faceThe 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.

LESSON 173

God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

(155)  I will step back and let Him lead the way.

God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

(156)  I walk with God in perfect holiness.

God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

Lesson 172 – God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

A Door swings open and there is no danger.  As Rumi said,

“I have lived on the lip
of insanity, wanting to know reasons,
knocking on a door. It opens.
I’ve been knocking from the inside.”

Something tickles and laughter bubbles up inside me.  There was never anything to fear or be outraged over or grieve … everything I believed were cartoon figures in a movie, projections on a screen.  Flesh and blood is no more than paper and crayons.  We are not real.  God is Real, and we are of Him.  There is nothing else to do but receive and accept His Love — which naturally leads to emanating His Love and knowing Love is us, not the body, ego mind or belief in personal identity.

LESSON 172

God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

(153)  In my defenselessness my safety lies.

God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

(154)  I am among the ministers of God.

God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

Lesson 171: God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

All things are echoes of the Voice for God … these review lessons provide an echo with the reprise, God is but Love, and therefore so am I.  I let the words reverberate through my mind, desiring to do what Jesus requests in the the Introduction: to go beyond the words to the Source of their meaning.  A soft white light appears in my mind … it pulses, growing larger, then smaller, almost like a lighthouse beckoning.  I know something … it’s on the tip of my mind … this light is what’s real and all else is actually fog … I know it, but don’t know it … there are some troubling things on my mind–and I am willing to know this trouble is temptation to believe in what’s false, to believe in separation.  I honor my feelings by giving them to Jesus. I tell Him, “I’m willing!  I’m willing to see Peace instead of this, I’m willing to recognize What I already am.”  It is time to trust and Know.

 LESSON 171

God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

(151) All things are echoes of the Voice for God.

God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

(152) The power of decision is my own.

God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
