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.
