Study of Text, Chapter 11: II: The Invitation to Healing, P 4 8-31-15

II. The Invitation to Healing, P 4
4 Healing is a sign that you want to make whole. And this willingness opens your ears to the Voice of the Holy Spirit, Whose message is wholeness. He will enable you to go far beyond the healing you would undertake, for beside your small willingness to make whole He will lay His Own complete Will and make yours whole. What can the Son of God not accomplish with the Fatherhood of God in Him? And yet the invitation must come from you, for you have surely learned that whom you invite as your guest will abide with you.

Journal

I have absolutely learned that if I invite the ego as guest, it does abide with me, and it brings all sorts of bad advice with it. Yesterday was miserable in a way, but wonderful in another way. Here is what happened.

First, I got an ear infection and went to the doctor for magic. When I asked why this showed up, (I haven’t needed antibiotics in a very long time) I had the thought that lately I have been very resistant to hearing what is going on in my classroom. There has been a lot of conflict, and while I have watched my mind and asked for healing, I have also wished that I did not have to be there, hearing that. That is not a very helpful prayer because nothing is healed. I was listening to the ego, which often suggests I run, and failing to listen to the Voice for God.

I decided that I would look very closely at what is going on and how I am responding to the situation. I gave my small willingness to see this differently. I did this in two ways, one by feeling what I felt without aborting that feeling when it got uncomfortable, and the other was to use Lesson 325 to get to the source of what was happening. Here is how it unfolded.

I thought about my boss giving me another job to do just as I was walking out. I noticed I felt discouraged and I noticed I wanted to see others wrong for this. I asked that my mind be healed of the belief that I am unfairly treated. But this morning my willingness to have only the thoughts I think with God in my mind was great. So I did not push it away as a done deal when I asked for healing. I thought about the extra job and let my feeling flow freely. I wanted to just sit down and cry. I wanted to run away. Ok, that needed more work!

So I asked Jesus what I should do now. He told me to use Lesson 325 to see how this situation occurred in my life. I know that this is my story and I write the script, but that concept gets lost when I let the ego run things. I could see why this would be helpful at this time. So here is the part of the Lesson I used.

LESSON 325

All things I think I see reflect ideas.

1 This is salvation’s keynote: What I see reflects a process in my mind, which starts with my idea of what I want. From there, the mind makes up an image of the thing the mind desires, judges valuable, and therefore seeks to find. These images are then projected outward, looked upon, esteemed as real and guarded as one’s own. From insane wishes comes an insane world. From judgment comes a world condemned. And from forgiving thoughts a gentle world comes forth, with mercy for the holy Son of God, to offer him a kindly home where he can rest a while before he journeys on, and help his brothers walk ahead with him, and find the way to Heaven and to God.

So what I did was take the idea that I am overburdened at work, and that work has become a place I try to avoid because of the level of conflict, and using this lesson I traced down how this happened. One thing I know right from the start, even if I avoid the knowledge sometimes, is that there is nothing in my world that I do not want. See Lesson 152, The Power of Decision.

So now I am only looking to see how this situation wound up in my script. What was I trying to do?

What I see reflects a process in my mind
No matter who seems to be causing the conflict, how far I try to distance myself from that one, no matter who seems to be doing things to me, what I see is a reflection of a process going on in my mind. The ball is back in my court!

which starts with my idea of what I want.
This is so important! I think it should have been capitalized, italicized, quote makes around it, an exclamation point behind it. Whatever is going on in my world is something I want! It seems crazy and ridiculous, but Jesus is someone I can trust and certainly I cannot trust the ego. So I am going with this. I remind myself that he started this paragraph by telling me that this is the keynote to salvation.

So I had an idea of what I wanted and using a process in my mind, I got that idea into the world. How did I do this?

From there, the mind makes up an image of the thing the mind desires
Wait! The thing I see and experience in the world is the image I made up. Let’s back up and see what it is I desired. Well, it is helpful that I have the image to look at. I am in a situation where there is a lot of conflict and I seem to be pulled into it on a regular basis. I also seem to have more to do than I am willing to do. So, what is it that is really desired? From what did I source this image of conflict and work?

I was able to get to it by using some of the ideas that Jesus has taught me to look out for. I tried out one of them by saying it out loud. “I am being unfairly treated.” I felt a lump form in my throat. It is unfair to ask the oldest person there, who has been the busiest person, to do more. So I think that the desire I wanted to picture is that I am unfairly treated.

I made up an image of what this might look like. I could be overburdened at work. That would make a good image of someone being unfairly treated. It would come from someone I don’t want to see in a bad light, someone I would regret adding to his own considerable burden, so I would feel more trapped than ever in this image of being unfairly treated. Not only was I given too much work, but unfairly enough, I was left without recourse. Good job so far, in making an image that gave me just what I wanted.

The second thing I was looking at is the conflict itself. This one was harder for me because I was in real denial about what I wanted from this image. I had that little willingness, though, and Jesus had my back, and the Holy Spirit was adding His Will to mine. So I thought about the situation and let myself feel the rage and the guilt and then I looked at what I hoped to gain from this.

I was shown that when the two people involved asked for my input, I felt admired and respected. I felt special. God will not make me special, so I made an image of Myron being very special. The old problem of Authorship. Who’s my daddy? Is it the ego? Or is it God? I wanted specialness more than I wanted God. No wonder I didn’t want to see that. So that is why this whole story got into my world. It is was just another image of specialness.

judges valuable, and therefore seeks to find.
Well, I obviously judged both these desires as valuable since I gave up my peace to have them. I also sought them out. First I used a process in my mind to give them an image that would convince me they were true, and then I made myself available to them, so that I could have the experience.

These images are then projected outward, looked upon, esteemed as real and guarded as one’s own.
Though I pretend I have no such power, of course I do. I projected these images outward so I could have a real experience of being unfairly treated and of being special. I looked at the images, called them real, and guarded them. I have been in this experience for too long, and the reason is that I was guarding the process from my own mind. I was reinforcing this amnesia by making others the guilty party and me this helpless victim.

From insane wishes comes an insane world. From judgment comes a world condemned.
This is all that has happened. I have been living in an insane world, pretending to be its victim, pretending I had nothing to do with it, and all the time it came from my insane wishes. Then I judged everyone and everything and so I have made an image of an insane world and condemned it with my judgment.

And from forgiving thoughts a gentle world comes forth, with mercy for the holy Son of God, to offer him a kindly home where he can rest a while before he journeys on, and help his brothers walk ahead with him, and find the way to Heaven and to God.

Thank God I have an answer to what I have done. A way to undo it. I can forgive myself and forgive what I have made. I can see the process that made it, take responsibility for it, and allow the Holy Spirit to lay His Own complete Will next to my small willingness to be healed, and so to make mine whole.

II. The Invitation to Healing, P 3
3 And denial is as total as love. You cannot deny part of yourself, because the rest will seem to be separate and therefore without meaning. And being without meaning to you, you will not understand it. To deny meaning is to fail to understand. You can heal only yourself, for only God’s Son needs healing. You need it because you do not understand yourself, and therefore know not what you do. Having forgotten your will, you do not know what you really want.

Journal
The reason Awakening requires that we not compromise in accepting the Atonement is that denial is as total as love. If I leave anything out, any person, any situation, any thought within my mind; if I deny the Holy Spirit anything, I will not awaken.  Is there some part of my mind, even one single thought that I want to keep separate from the Holy Spirit’s healing transformation? Then I have not accepted the Atonement and I will remain in the dream. Is there one person among the billions that stands outside my willingness to forgive? Then I have not accepted the Atonement.

Sometimes it can be subtle. I was watching a show in which the family (brothers and sisters and their families) was very close, outwardly loving, visiting each other frequently, praying together, sharing deeply. I felt sad because I don’t have that, my family does not interact in that way. In that moment of sadness, I was in denial of God, and needed healing. I was choosing to let ego interpret the situation.
The truth is that regardless of appearances, we cannot be separate, and a story of separation is just a story. I saw the error in my mind, and I chose the peace of God over the sad story the ego offered me. It is always a choice, the meaning we give these thoughts.

Physical illness seems like something outside our choice, and yet sickness is a defense against God, and therefore, on some level, we have made a choice for it. When I am sick or in pain, I remind myself it was a choice and I choose the peace of God instead. Always, regardless of what seems to be happening, it is a choice between ego and God.

The illness or the broken relationship, or other effects of separation thinking may already be in play. It is still not too late to make another choice. If I see myself as a victim to these circumstances, and if I project the blame for them, I have chosen ego again. If I accept responsibility for all that occurs, and offer my mind to be healed of the thoughts that sourced the effects, I have chosen for God.

I am totally responsible for everything that happens in the world because there is only one mind and I am part of that mind. When I read the paper and see that someone has killed or robbed and I think that person is guilty, I have made a mistake. I am that person who killed and robbed. That is me over
there acting out the belief that I am separate from God, and damned for it. Seeing the criminal as someone separate from me is denying our oneness and refusing to accept the Atonement.

Making fun of Donald Trump’s hair or behavior, judging something I read on Facebook, speaking unkindly about someone, worrying about the weather, my finances, my relationships, all of these are ways to keep my self separate from my other selves. As I began to realize what I was doing, I began to make a different choice, to choose God instead, one thought at a time.

It would seem an impossible task and simply too overwhelming to be done, but each choice to not deny love, helped me to see that there really is only one thought appearing as many. Now my mind is quieter than before, and all ego thoughts are beginning to blend together into one thought of separation.

While it does still require my vigilance and my unquestioning commitment, it doesn’t feel like an impossible task anymore. As I allow the mind to be healed and the separation idea to be undone, I am beginning to know what I want. The stronger this feeling becomes the easier it is to make the choice for God.

II. The Invitation to Healing, P 2
2 Healing thus becomes a lesson in understanding; and the more you practice it the better teacher and learner you become. If you have denied truth, what better witnesses to its reality could you have than those who have been healed by it? But be sure to count yourself among them, for in your willingness to join them is your healing accomplished. Every miracle that you accomplish speaks to you of the Fatherhood of God. Every healing thought that you accept, either from your brother or in your own mind, teaches you that you are God’s Son. In every hurtful thought you hold, wherever you perceive it, lies the denial of God’s Fatherhood and of your Sonship.

Journal
Jesus says that the more I practice healing, the better teacher and learner I become. I do this in two ways. First, I learn from those who have gone before me. I think of the teachers I have followed and my heart swells in gratitude! There are some I followed consistently and over a period of time, and some who have inspired me from time to time. They are all equal in teaching, whether they helped me once, or many times.

I read what they say and am inspired, but that is not enough. I must use what they say in order for it to be helpful to me. I must use it and let it become what I do and think and become. Regina Dawn Akers has been helpful to me many, many times, but one that comes to me often is this. When I was in the middle of a virtual storm, a hurricane, and at the same time in an ego storm, I reached out to her.

She told me to let the storm pass. That is what storms do. I have used that advice often. I sit through the ego storm in patience and certainty that Holy Spirit is sitting with me and that healing is taking place. As a result, I am not fearful when I am in one of these storms. I know it will pass and when it does, I will be washed clean of the thoughts that caused it, and this changed perception is a miracle.

Recently I read some postings by Cate Grieves in which she talked about not compromising. She woke up through A Course in Miracles and she said that she did it because she refused to compromise. Every wrong-minded thought goes to Spirit for healing, no compromise in that. This has become my mantra as well. No compromise.

I have had a problem with a co-worker from time to time. In the past I have struggled with these relationships, not wanting to give up being right and holding tight to the belief that I am being unfairly treated. It has taken way too much suffering to get my attention in a way that led to healing.

 

Now I am fully involved in accepting the peace of God as my one goal. I refuse to compromise on that. I don’t care what proof the ego brings me that the other person is wrong; I only want the peace of God. If the ego brings me proof that my financial situation is deteriorating, I feel the echo of old beliefs and start to worry. Then I remember that the peace of God is everything I want. No compromise.

 

So I am both following others, accepting the gifts of their own healings. and I am practicing what I am learning and making it mine. Each changed perception is a healing that reminds me that God is my Father and I am His Son. I am very cognizant now that every hurtful thought leads me away from remembering who I am.

 

I sit in the stormy thoughts of darkness knowing that it will pass and with it, the damage those thoughts caused. I remember that looking at the thoughts with the Holy Spirit and asking for healing is my part, and I do not compromise on that. I allow the healing and in doing so I accept the Atonement for myself, which is my only function.

Chapter 11: II. The Invitation to Healing, P 1. 8-26-15

II. The Invitation to Healing, P1
1 If sickness is separation, the decision to heal and to be healed is the first step toward recognizing what you truly want. Every attack is a step away from this, and every healing thought brings it closer. The Son of God has both Father and Son, because he is both Father and Son. To unite having and being is to unite your will with His, for He wills you Himself. And you will yourself to Him because, in your perfect understanding of Him, you know there is but one Will. Yet when you attack any part of God and His Kingdom your understanding is not perfect, and what you really want is therefore lost to you.

Journal
This beginning paragraph is so important that I want to take it slowly and really look at it. “Jesus, please give me clarity as I read.”

“If sickness is separation”
Right away Jesus is telling us that sickness is separation. I think I am separate from God, from my brothers, from every other living form in the world. I even see separation within myself as I perceive myself as both spirit and body, both good and bad, both holy and condemned.  Clearly, everyone who is having this experience believes in separation and so sickness is inevitable until we change our minds.

“the decision to heal and to be healed is the first step toward recognizing what you truly want.”
We made a decision to experience separation, the consequence of which is sickness.  The first step to undoing these consequences is to make a different decision. We can now decide to heal and to be healed. We may make this decision because we are tired of sickness, but it is the first step toward recognizing what it is we truly want.  We want more than to be less miserable, less lonely, less poor, less ill; that is to be less sick. In choosing to heal and be healed we will recognize what it is we really want.

“Every attack is a step away from this, and every healing thought brings it closer.”
Another important statement for those of us who are ready to Awaken from the dream of separation; attack is going to take us away from what we truly want.  Every attack thought moves us away from healing. On the other hand, every healing thought brings us closer. Here are a couple of examples.

I was annoyed with someone at work on Friday and regretted having to work in that atmosphere. That was an attack thought. Yesterday, I noticed that I forgot to write on my calendar the time of an appointment and felt upset with myself. That was an attack thought. I noticed the feelings that came up when I had these thoughts, and I realized I had just chosen separation again as I attacked, first a brother and then myself for the error I made.

I see myself here in this body because I chose separation as an experience I wanted to have; for the last two days, I have made that same choice again. I made it when I thought I would be happier if I didn’t have to go to work tomorrow, and when I thought I was an idiot for not being better at keeping track of things. Both times were an attack, and led me deeper into the illusion, into sickness.

Each time I noticed how I felt when I attacked, I realized the attack cost me my peace of mind, and I made a different choice, a choice for healing. I released the thoughts of separation and attack to the Holy Spirit and I asked for healing. It is not God’s Will that I suffer sickness of the mind, and so I need only relinquish the ego desire for a separate will and accept that God’s Will is truly my will, in order to be healed. My mind then returns to peace. And now I am closer to what I truly desire.

“The Son of God has both Father and Son, because he is both Father and Son.”
Jesus keeps telling us that we are an extension of God, that this is the way God creates, this extending of Himself. He also has told us that God gave all of Himself to us in our creation. Still, when I read something like this sentence, I recoil from it. That reaction is the ego mind that cannot, and does not, believe I am so exalted. It believes that this is blasphemy and it’s fear is increased at the thought.

But I am not the ego. I am God’s Son and I am in God, and part of God. I have both Father and Son in me and so I am both Father and Son, because having and being are the same in truth. The me that wanted to skip over that sentence is the separated self, the ego. The me that is willing to embrace it is the part of the mind that retains an ancient memory of being that. It is not a separated self, but part of a Whole. It is part of the Family of God.

“To unite having and being is to unite your will with His, for He wills you Himself.”
“Jesus, I have trouble with this sentence. Please help my understanding and my acceptance.” I have developed a certain comfort level with thinking of myself as living in God and being part of God, but I have trouble making that leap to being God. Here I am told that I am to unite having and being because that is to unite my will with His.

I understand and accept that I must do this, that I must unite my will with God’s Will.
It is essential that I give up this separate will I made for myself and accept that it was an awesome, if somewhat screwy, experiment and now it is time for it to end. I can only have one will and that is the same Will God has.

The problem I have is that I have never really understood how having and being are the same, and certainly not in this case. But now, I seem to have been brought to a new understanding of having and being as the same. I have the same will as God, and so I am the same as God. That is saying that having and being is the same thing.

I am also reminded that the only difference between God and His Son is that God came first and that creation goes only in one direction. God created me and I create by continuing this process, but I cannot create God. Other than that, there is no separation and no difference between God and me. Could that possibly be true? It must be. He willed me Himself.

“And you will yourself to Him because, in your perfect understanding of Him, you know there is but one Will.”
I am far from a perfect understanding of God, but I must have some memory of this buried deeply beneath the layers of confusion that make up the self I think of as Myron. I must have that memory, because when I read this line, I cried. My unclouded mind longs for this. I want to remember what it is like to be unburdened by the separate will, and to just rest in the peace and joy that is our one Will. “I will myself to You, and you Will Yourself to me. How can I not know my Self?  How can I not know You, my Father?”

“Yet when you attack any part of God and His Kingdom your understanding is not perfect, and what you really want is therefore lost to you.”
The motivation to give up attack is very strong. I want to know Self and I want to know God and I want to know I both have and I am that. I cannot know this if I attack any part of God and His Kingdom. As soon as I attack, I lose my understanding of both God and Self. Could I possibly attack anyone if I knew they were part of my self? Could I attack myself if I knew I was part of God? I see how attack increases my confusion about my identity.

I. The Gifts of Fatherhood, P 11

11 You are asked to trust the Holy Spirit only because He speaks for you. He is the Voice for God, but never forget that God did not will to be alone. He shares His Will with you; He does not thrust it upon you. Always remember that what He gives He keeps, so that nothing He gives can contradict Him. You who share His life must share it to know it, for sharing is knowing. Blessed are you who learn that to hear the Will of your Father is to know your own. For it is your will to be like Him, Whose Will it is that it be so. God’s Will is that His Son be one, and united with Him in His Oneness. That is why healing is the beginning of the recognition that your will is His.

Journal

God shares His Will with me; he does not thrust it upon me. What a different vision of God we are given, than is the one we typically learn about in traditional religion. This is a God of peace and joy, a God of sharing. I want to know the Will of God because I want to know this God of Love. And I want to know my own will and my own Self. If I share the Will of God, then knowing my true will is the same as knowing God, and knowing the Will of God will teach me what I am.

I have been given the way back to God. It is the Holy Spirit, which was placed in my mind for that purpose. His function is to speak God’s Word to me, to guide me, to comfort me, and to heal my mind. All that is needed from me is that I desire to have this. Nothing is thrust upon me, not even my happiness.

This day, I pray for guidance and I pray for the Word of God to be given me. I open my heart and my mind to this. Today’s lesson says this:

Lesson 233
I give my life to God to guide today.
Father, I give You all my thoughts today. I would have none of mine. In place of them, give me Your Own. I give You all my acts as well, that I may do Your Will instead of seeking goals which cannot be obtained, and wasting time in vain imaginings. Today I come to You. I will step back and merely follow You. Be You the Guide, and I the follower who questions not the wisdom of the Infinite, nor Love whose tenderness I cannot comprehend, but which is yet Your perfect gift to me.

Today we have one Guide to lead us on. And as we walk together, we will give this day to Him with no reserve at all. This is His day. And so it is a day of countless gifts and mercies unto us.


What a perfect lesson this is for me today. I give my thoughts to Him, and I accept His perfect gift to me. This is His day and it is a day of countless gifts and mercies. Thank you, God. I love you, God.

I. The Gifts of Fatherhood, P 10

10 You cannot be happy unless you do what you will truly, and you cannot change this because it is immutable. It is immutable by God’s Will and yours, for otherwise His Will would not be extended. You are afraid to know God’s Will, because you believe it is not yours. This belief is your whole sickness and your whole fear. Every symptom of sickness and fear arises here, because this is the belief that makes you want not to know. Believing this you hide in darkness, denying that the light is in you.

Journal
I can be happy only if I accept that my true will is the same as God’s Will. Denial of this is what causes all sickness, all fear and all suffering. Let me be specific here. Denial of my true will is where cancer and strokes and heart attacks come from. It is where sick relationships, and poverty and all forms of unkindness come from. All of these things are simply projections of images we make to express the beliefs in in our mind, and the belief behind all beliefs is that we have a will separate from and different from God’s Will.

The healing of all forms of suffering is in accepting God as our creator and ourselves as an extension of all He is. It comes from accepting that we have only one true will and that it is the Will of God. It heals all things because it is not God’s Will that suffering exist in any form, and so suffering cannot exist.

Suffering seems to exist because we insist on believing in a will that is not God’s Will. We can continue to do this as long as we can stand it, but it is completely unnecessary that we do so. It is true that nothing is real in the world and that nothing is actually happening. But as long as we believe in the world, suffering will be real to us. All suffering falls away as we withdraw our belief in it, and we do that by withdrawing our belief in a will that allows suffering.

Study of Text, Chapter 11: I: The Gifts of Fatherhood, P 9. 8-18-15

I.  The Gifts of Fatherhood, P 9
9 The projection of the ego makes it appear as if God’s Will is outside yourself, and therefore not yours. In this interpretation it seems possible for God’s Will and yours to conflict. God, then, may seem to demand of you what you do not want to give, and thus deprive you of what you want. Would God, Who wants only your will, be capable of this? Your will is His life, which He has given to you. Even in time you cannot live apart from Him. Sleep is not death. What He created can sleep, but cannot die. Immortality is His Will for His Son, and His Son’s will for himself. God’s Son cannot will death for himself because His Father is Life, and His Son is like Him. Creation is your will because it is His.

Journal
I was thinking just this weekend of how I used to be afraid to turn over to God certain areas of my life. Here is an example. I would worry and fret over my youngest son because he was very sick for awhile, and still has a lot of pain from a back injury. When I think that I need my son to be well, I am no longer at peace.

I have made a choice for the peace of God and have said that the peace of God is everything I want. When I become anxious for my son, I have changed my mind and said that the peace of God is not everything I want, I also want my son to be well. I have discovered that wanting anything in the world catapults me out of peace. Either the peace of God is everything I want or it is not. Need and peace are opposites and I cannot have them both at the same time.

I thought about this and I realized that I felt a need to worry about my son. Was I afraid to turn him over to the care of God? If so, then I must think that God and I have different wills, and that God’s Will for my son is contrary to my will for him. This clearly cannot be right. God wills only love and happiness for us all. God is Love, could Love ever will for suffering?

The very idea of not worrying about my son seemed so strange to me. It was like my constant worry was all that stood between him and suffering. And yet, my worry brought no protection to my son, and no healing. As I began to let go of the idea that I needed anything from my son in order to be at peace, I returned to my dedicated purpose of choosing peace. I returned to trust.

As my mind cleared I realized that worry is like a negative prayer. It was like praying that my son would fulfill my expectations of pain and suffering. I began true prayer in which I remembered the truth instead. I remembered that he is God’s Son and He has the Holy Spirit in his mind just as I do. He will be led to the truth just as I am being led to the truth. I began to trust him, and I began to realize I don’t need him to be anything for me. His existence is gift enough.

I use this example because it was the hardest thing I have ever done. Seeing it from this side it is obvious that my neediness only got in the way of my relationship with my son. My worry only robbed me of peace. It was an expression of my belief that I have a will different than the Will of God.

I don’t know where my son’s story is going to take him, but I am certain that it will provide him with the opportunity to awaken. I am certain that he shares the Will of God, and his story will help him discover this. I will help him as I continue to know that this is true while he is still confused about it. There is unshakable peace in the recognition that God is not my enemy, that we share the same will.
