HELP 5

P. 230-234

We are continuing with this theme of choice. With this in mind we can become aware that freedom is a choice, but the freedom we speak of here is more than just permission to go ahead do what you want to do. What we speak of here is the choice we have between freedom or victimhood. It is the choice we have to go into lower vibration or higher vibration thought.

When we change or transform our interior landscape, then we must make adjustments for this change. Old behaviors, attitudes and actions which in the past might have been automatic are now no longer comfortable, they don't fit us anymore. We can still go ahead and do the old behaviors as we did before, that is still our choice, but we are usually going to find that the old behavior and attitudes are no longer comfortable, they know longer fit us. It is like growing out of old clothes. The clothes themselves could be fine but they no longer fit us.

Jesus used the analogy of building a house and either having its foundation on  sand or rock. So there is very much to that analogy, in some ways we are tearing down the old house, the old structure of who we thought we were, and we are building a new one. But you will notice at the foundation the old house was one that was built on the illusion and so it must be replaced buy a foundation of rock that is Truth.

Another simple way of be expressing this is that either you react to situations or are you act and respond out of a sense of love and awareness.

The following passage is quite significant to what is transpiring in the world right now: 
“We have spoken to you already about fear and how you can be used by media, by others, to get amplified as fear and consequently self-abnegate your own power as you go into reaction. So we are going to suggest today that as you show yourself your truth, “I am Word,” you begin to limit yourself in what you expect your responses to be to fear. Now we will show you what we mean.
“Oh my God, there is something terrible happening in the world.” Well, you can go there and you can call it terrible, which is a way to label it, or you can move into a kind of accordance with truth and you can say:
“I am now choosing to see that which I see before me in Divine Love. I am Word through this intention. Word I am Word.”

As the book emphasizes, we are not denying what is going on, we are prayerfully opening ourselves to see with the eyes of the Christ. ACIM suggests asking the question,”How can I see this differently?” 


“If all that you see before you is of the divine, that must be inclusive of all that you see before you. And to decide today that that thing that you thought was terrible was outside of the Creator gives it merit and causes you to lower your own frequency. So of course, we can tell you when someone is presenting illness, you see them as healed. You don’t deny their experience, but you hold them in a higher frequency of Divine Love and you are holding a picture and a vision for them of healing which then benefits their frequency.”


We can also choose to align ourselves to a group of people—to be in agreement with them—at a higher or lower frequency. A higher frequency example of this is our Sun. morning group—and all the other groups like to that are being experienced all over the world.

DOMINION OF LOVE 5

PERHAPS I AM BEING VERY LAZY THIS WEEK, BUT i was touched by this lesson and how it approached the material in our Sunday class from a different direction. The Dynamics of Giving and Receiving from Ram Dass//Posted March 10, 2017 What yogis begin to do is to change their way of thinking in order to look at the universe differently. In order to do this, there is a period of time where they must pull back from the drama in order to be able to see it. It’s like a moratorium, it’s a time when you stand back, like you go on a vacation. It’s actually extremely hard work by the way, very exacting and very, very difficult work. Now when most of us think of yogis, we think of somebody sitting like a famous yogi, like Milarepa, sitting up in a cave in the mountains, cross-legged and naked. There was snow, and ants were eating him, and the only food he took was nettle soup, and he ate it for so long he developed a green nettle fur all over him. But he was busy freeing himself fr...

THE ANSWER 11 and DOMINION IN LOVE 1

This is just beautiful and says it all: “Why was I born? That is the next question. You were born to come into yourselves as knowing yourselves as loved, and as conscious active participants in your creation. You were born to stand in your knowing, to accept yourself as loved, and to see your fellows in their own perfection. You were born to create wonder, to live a life of splendor and of joy. You were created to come into your own knowing in the Son-ship of your own divinity and to claim it in full experience. You were born to say, “I am Word,” in whatever language you choose, in whatever vocabulary is truthful to you. You were chosen, you are choosing, all are. “I am Word through all that I see before me.” We are choosing you today to call to yourselves those things you need to move forward on this journey. Imagine yourself, right now, standing in a room. It is a gateway room. It is a room that leads you to a new room that has never been seen before, that has never bee...

DOMINION OF LOVE 5

A brief review of the past that is pertinent to the present.   “Paul is asking, “Where is the Christ in me? How do I identify this part of me that you speak of?” And we will tell you now. The Christ within you is a frequency that is aligned within the heart center and it glows like a flame and it brings to it that vibration and frequency that co-resonates with it. And that which it brings to co-resonance is the Creator. If you understand that your light is a piece of the great light, then you have the beginning of the understanding of your Christed Self. If you understand that this light, in its blooming, in its flame, in its action, is the action of the Christ within man, you have a deeper understanding. If you begin to understand that the action of this Christ, once and for all, is to become realized as man in completeness, then you have the mystery of the Christ revealed to you. And the mystery of the Christ, and how it shall be revealed, will be the causation of the action...
