Study of Text, Chapter 11: II: From Darkness to Light, P 6. 9-14-15

III. From Darkness to Light P 6

6 The children of light cannot abide in darkness, for darkness is not in them. Do not be deceived by the dark comforters, and never let them enter the mind of God’s Son, for they have no place in His temple. When you are tempted to deny Him remember that there are no other gods to place before Him, and accept His Will for you in peace. For you cannot accept it otherwise.

Journal
I see that Jesus is stating a simple truth. “The children of light cannot abide in darkness, for darkness is not in them.” If I am in darkness, in hatred, in rage, in depression, fear, guilt, in suffering of any kind, it can only be that I don’t remember what I am. I am a child of light and I am only dreaming of darkness. This is all that is happening. In my dark dreams I seem to suffer, and so I am ready to awaken from the dream.

Dreamers do not succumb to their dreams. I am suffering, but I am safe. I will wake up when I choose to see. Vision has shown me the darkness and deceptiveness of ego and I will continue my vigilance to bar them from the mind of God’s Son. I understand now that this is not a personal quest to make a happier version of Myron’s story. I see that there is no personal. This is holy work. It is work done for the mind that we all are.

For the last couple of weeks I have been conflicted about my purpose. I have thought that my purpose was to achieve certain things, to defend and protect my little goals. But I have also known that this is not right. And so I have also been looking at my reactions to the world I made through my conflicted beliefs, and have been asking that the Holy Spirit heal my mind and restore my peace. I have been allowing my awareness to return to the truth that the only will I have is the will I share with God.

The period of conflict that I have been experiencing is unpleasant, but as I remember that my purpose, my one purpose, my only goal is the peace of God, conflict eases and then falls away. As the chaotic ego thinking is released, it is inevitable that the truth become clear to me that all my separate and personal goals were the false gods I made. As I let these illusory gods (goals) go my mind is more peaceful and in peace I remember that there is no other God, and that God’s Will is my will.
