Message for my snoozin' self: I pray without ceasing

“Eeeegads!,” as my Gram always says! As I prepare to head eastward across the continent through blustery winter weather, I am reminded to watch my mind closely and to remember "I pray without ceasing." (ref: A Course in Miracles, Song of Prayer).

It ain't called "Homework" for nothing that's fer sure! Especially since I am to remember that every single deeply felt thought-feeling, conscious or unconscious is quite literally a prayer. This is what you're saying, right Gram? Now I get why teachers use gold stars, even when assignments were sometimes confusing and hard to grade. They have amnesia just like me, so they didn't understand the original assignment either.

Holy Divine Undoing of Crap! This is all just like my lion pooping dream the other night! So I guess I just keep trying to remember that each of my deeply felt prayer-thought-feelings (PTFs for short from now on...) is literally causing a manifestation into form, and that this is the law of attraction fully understood. I am learning that I must never forget that war in the world is a result of my very own misaligned PTFs. Woah! Just as beauty in form is the manifestation of my loving PTFs. (I like that idea much better.) So, you're telling me that PTFs are exactly and only why the world appears in the way it appears. Peace and pain. Peace and pain. Peace and pain. The whole bloody, happy and unhappy dream! Right on dude.

So let me get this another way. I am to remember that, without exception, we are ONE MIND having ONE SHARED EXPERIENCE, and that is why a single tree or a mountain or a plate of hummus is seen by all eyes, because there is actually only One Eye. And, it's a Perfect Eye. And, you're telling me the-mean-kind-of-eye doesn't exist except within my very own dreamin' mind, like Sauron in Lord of the Rings. And, that my buying into the Sauron-mean-eye as being outside me causes the appearance of the mean eye to appear manifest within the dream, and lots of bloody, painful battles to (appear to) occur. You're telling me my very own projections of guilt and judgment are causing this!

Hmmmm...that's going to go over real well in some circles, and not so great in others. People have been evicted from their bodies for saying such things. A few vivid stories come immediately to mind. Yet, you're saying this is why it is profoundly important to witness my PTFs, and to identify those that are not peaceful in any way, and that this information is worth the "risk" of sharing, so that those with the ears to hear (hopefully me), will one day hear well enough.

I get it. I really do get it. PTFs that are not peaceful literally keep the impossible dream of pain and suffering intact. So, when I feel fear or dread or guilt, or any other such feeling inside the body, or think a deeply felt thought against anyone, including myself, and even if I cannot find words to associate with powerful sensations inside the body, I am to immediately turn the PTF over to Divine Love for healing rather than feed my ego’s resistance to healing the PTF of its misalignment. Cool. Then, I am to rest, accept and trust whatever happens, even if I'm a little perplexed by what happens next. Okay.

Thanks...You Know Who...for never stop reminding me. And, as always, I am to return inward to my heart, which will always guide well and true, even if the guidance causes me and/or others discomfort for a time. And, of course, if I forget to pay attention to my PTFs, I am not to worry and to remember the following:

Nothing real
can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the
peace of God.
(A Course in Miracles)

In other words, the Holy Undoing of Crap Inside of Me wants forgetful me to know that I merely delay my awakening when I forget to do the process above. Since, duh, that which God created cannot truly be harmed since I am not actually a body, and, therefore, cannot be killed! Thank you Jesus for taking on that teaching lesson. You're braver than I. (Incidentally, the Holy Undoing of Crap Inside of Me doesn't really care all that much if I call "The Big Love" by such a name as long as I get the message...and, most especially, as long as I don't feel guilty about it.)

So, to recap for my snoozing, forgetful self, as much as I can remember, I am to NOT pile more guilt on myself or on anyone else when I forget to watch my PTFs, or if "others" appear frustrated with me. I am merely to do my Homework to the best of my ability in order to get Home.

I must admit, not piling on guilt sure does seem to help me feel better and kinder, and to have a happier dream in the meantime.

The end. Okay, not really, not quite yet. Rather, it is yet another sweet now moment of willingness to remember I never left paradise.


Huge adventuring smiles!
