Thou Shall Not Fear

Fear is the root of all that binds and restricts potential good from coming to us.

Hate, lust, jealousy, discontent, doubt, envy, anger, judgement, controlling behaviors, lack of confidence, contempt - and all that is negative finds its source in fear and will manifest weakness in mind and body.

What you hold in another you hold in yourself. If your desire is freedom then you must free your brother as well. By your condemnation you both shall suffer. You are the only giver and receiver in your universe and giving and receiving are one.

The unnecessary suffering of this world as a whole and that of every nation, state, district, city, and individual finds its root cause in fear. Forgiveness through love is the only recourse. The remedy begins within the individual. Search your heart. Ask for guidance from the Helper to ferret out all that is impure within, forgiving your Self and the world your errors, that all might be forgiven and released.

"My function here is to forgive the world for all the errors I have made. For thus am I released from them with all the world. "
A Course In Miracles

In this, you shall find peace. In this, you shall find joy. In this, you shall true love. In this, you shall find your Self.

No Complaints

Cease your complaining and fretting; none of these things you blame are the cause of your poverty; the cause is within yourself, and where cause is, there is the remedy. The very fact that you are a complainer shows that you deserve your lot, shows that you lack the faith which is the ground of all effort and progress. There is no room for the complainer in a universe of law, and worry is soul-suicide. By your very attitude of mind you are strengthening the chains which bind you and are drawing about you the darkness by which you are enveloped. Alter your outlook look on life, and your outward life will alter.
James Allen

Forms of complaining are many and diverse, quite often having become habit - our default when a particular subject or circumstance arises. Take time to be aware of any that might be responsible for keeping you bound to your current experience. What steps might you put in place to correct them?

The Offerings of Forgiveness

All things you could possibly desire are to be found in, and offered up, by forgiveness.

Would you like peace - forgiveness offers it.

Is your desire for happiness, a quiet mind, a certainty of purpose, and a sense of worth and beauty that transcends the world? These things may only be found in forgiveness.

Do you want care and safety, and the warmth of sure protection always? You will realize it in forgiveness.

How would it feel to have a quietness that cannot be disturbed, a gentleness that never can be hurt, a deep abiding comfort, and a rest so perfect it can never be upset? All these things are offered in forgiveness and more.

Why would you seek another answer to these questions? Here is the perfect answer to all you seek. What more could you desire other than what forgiveness offers? Forgiveness is the answer to realizing these gifts - you will not find another.

Forgive and be forgiven. As you give so shall you receive for giving and receiving are one and the same. Through forgiveness all illusions the world has spun fall away before the power of forgiveness and Truth shines forth.

Forgiveness offers everything you want. Do not waste time looking elsewhere.

Adaptation of lesson 122 from A Course In Miracles

Effect of Thought

Every thought you think releases or condenses energy, through its action on your nerve centers. The cells in your body react to the frequency of every thought you think. Negativity will suppress the immune system and set up a body chemistry which in time will result in dis-ease. The frequency of positive uplifting thoughts will strengthen the immune system, promoting health, happiness and overall well being for all arenas of life.

"Disease and health , like circumstances, are rooted in thought. Sickly thoughts will express themselves through a sickly body. Strong, pure, and happy thoughts build up the body in vigor and grace. "
James Allen

The physical body is as plastic - able to be molded - and under constant change as determined by the mind whether knowingly or not. We are all familiar with the sayings of mind over matter, or, the body is the servant of the mind. This is an eternal principle, for the changeless, Spirit, shall always rule over the evolving.

Receive His Thanks

Many give thanks and praise to God and it is right to do so.

How many take time to listen for our Fathers reciprocal thank you and praise for returning to Him?

Our time of meditation, communion, is meant to be a time of sharing - giving and receiving. It is equally important we receive His thanks as we offer our own up to Him.

This giving and receiving of praise and gratitude results in power. Power to save our world.

Receiving His thanks helps us understand how lovingly He holds us in His mind. How perfect His gratitude for our return. There comes a deep sense of love, security, and holiness, unsurpassed joy, from acknowledging His gratitude.
