Identify with Love and you are safe.

In A Course In Miracles Workbook lesson #261 – God is my refuge and security, W.pg 426,  we are gently guided to see God aka LOVE as our security blanket in all situations.  Yes, you can even suck your thumb if needed!

My youngest son used to drag his security blanket, an old white one that I continually had to make smaller because of the ragged condition, until it finally became the size of a small towel.  He would hold the blanket under his arm with his thumb as his comfort.  Sometimes he would have “White-ie”, our white cat tucked under his other arm.

So like him we can use God as our security blanket or whatever we imagine God to be, placing Him in a safe spot to carry around during the day.

If you read in the Workbook pg. 425, What Is the Body?  Jesus tells us in the last paragraph:

“You will identify with what you think will make you safe  Whatever it may be, you will believe that it is one with you.  Your safety lies in truth, and not in lies.  Love is your safety.  Fear does not exist.  Identify with love, and you are safe.  Identify with love and you are home.  Identify with love, and find your Self.”

As you go throughout your day, driving, waiting in line, working, walking or exercising, project LOVE out at the world and everyone and everything.  Just look and with your powerful mind…..beam LOVE!  Love is our Security Blanket in all situations.

Beam LOE it at yourself in the morning mirror: at  your depression, addictions, loneliness, worries or any problems with yourself or anyone you are holding a grudge or grievance.  Give it up and Give it to Love!

I bless the world because I bless myself

This is the title of Workbook Lesson 187 in A Course In Miracles.

The lesson starts off: “No on can give unless he has.  In fact, giving is proof of having.”

If we STOP counting our problems and setbacks and worries we could make room for thoughts that bless ourselves where we are right now – wherever that may be.

Bless yourself for all the thoughts of love that you extend to friends and family.  Extend love to that person you saw standing in line at the grocery story who you judged as _________ (fill in the blank) by sending them message now.   A simple little thought like -“I saw you there and my ego judged you but now I withdraw that thought and see you as a Holy Son of God that you are.”

Since you send the blessing you have right now blessed yourself.  You have also blessed the world because you powerful mind sent a the powerful thought of LOVE and acceptance.  The Course says all minds are JOINED at some level, so just know your loving thought was received not only by that person but to others – the whole enormous family!

In the Course, Chapter 1,  Page 14 in the text:

Perfect love casts out fear.   If fear exits, there is not perfect love

But:

Only perfect love exists.  If there is fear, it produces a state that does not exist!

Send perfect love.  The miracles is remembering you are a Decision Making Mind and you can choose the Holy Spirit, in your mind, (the thought of peace) and send love or even ask for help…..RIGHT NOW!

Compassion for everyone

IMG_0577 dragonfly resize

The Spiritual book, A Course In Miracles says we are all One!
Recently in Roseburg Oregon, a 26 year old man killed 9 plus himself, and injured others.

Am I One with the murderer?

Yes, I am One – with those murdered and with the murderer.

We are all brothers on this journey through life.
We may be aghast and horrified at what has happened but we are
asked to look at our projections on others and withdraw them.
We need to recognize anyone can be capable of murder.
Our government murders for us when people on Death Row are put to death .
We are all capable of becoming angry and going into a rage.
We need to know what our ego mind is capable of, and how it
manipulates so we will never follow it.
Only they ego kills.
Our true identity as Spirit would never kill or harm anyone.
Our compassion needs to go out to those families who grieve and to
the perpetrator’s family as well.
We do not understand this world or why things like this happen.
If we constantly practice forgiveness we will have joy in our Minds.
When we give we receive.
Give only Love for that is what you are.
