Day Twelve: The Spacious Self Joined in Relationship

“Navigating this endless space as an expression of love is the simplest thing imaginable.  All you must do is listen to your Self.  Your Self is now a feeling, conscious space, unhindered by any obstacles of form.  (ACOL Dialogues, p. 155)”

Affirmation:  “May I follow the feeling that my Self offers to me as my guide to living.”

Reflections:

This Day Twelve we learn what being relationship is all about.  Jesus calls upon us to rely on feelings within an empty form (a spacious form), because consciousness is not form.  Our Self occupies emptiness in space, and by this we can easily join with others in this invisible space.

This description is not totally clear in this first day of description.  More days of description are to come.  But this is the introduction to relationship with others, human and non-human.  Jesus says that it is easy to join with non-human forms in invisible space, and when we read this, we may think of how easy it is to join with our pet companions.

This space that we occupy is the space of unity, and with this assertion Jesus once again returns to his oft-repeated exhortation to join in unity and relationship in Christ-consciousness.  He says that navigating this space is the simplest thing imaginable, once we follow our feelings and not our thoughts.

Prayer:

Dear Father/Mother,

I have long known that my feelings, and my following of them, are my way to salvation.  Now I see that not only is salvation held out to me by feelings, but Christ-consciousness as well.  Truly I am blessed, and I thank You.

Be with me as the mountain top experience proceeds, and I come to see more clearly.  Guide my inner eyes to see more clearly.  Guide my relationship to All.  Thank You.

Amen.
