“All Selves are joined in wholeheartedness. The one Self is solely involved in living love. (A Course of Love, 25.17)”
Affirmation: “I am One with all.”
Reflections:
1 – All of Us Are One
We are one, all of us, and often I have made this point in this blog. But we don’t often believe this. I must remind myself of the truth of it constantly. Knowing that we are one with each other, and with God, is a freeing mechanism of the highest order. We don’t fret any longer. We know that we are safe.
2 – Living in Wholeheartedness
Living in wholeheartedness is, according to A Course of Love, the union of mind and heart toward which we are headed, as we know all that salvation holds out to us. We no longer look for “proofs” of the mind that are largely ego-inspired; we listen to our hearts, who know that proofs are not needed. But we don’t just have blind faith. We do have understanding that is not perceptive, but understanding that is knowledge from God Himself. We are led, step-by-step, into the larger world where we can live freely and peacefully with each other. These are the Selves of which we are one.
3 – The Selves = One
The Selves, then, are actually One, one with everything and everyone. Let us meditate upon this truth today, and let words fall by the wayside.
Prayer:
Dear Father/Mother,
I would make the decision again today to turn to love rather than fear. I ask that You accept this determination and shape my desires so that I do not have to repeat myself and pick myself off the floor because I have failed once again. Help all of us to reach toward You with a certainty and a determination that will brook no failure. I know that You want us to commune with You in prayer, and that it is through prayer, with the silences of listening, that we will come to know Your greatest joys for us. Be with us today as we seek to treat all whom we meet with the love that they so richly deserve.
If I fail today, may I recognize that You will rectify all mistakes. I need not fret that I am not perfect. Indeed, Jesus tells us in A Course of Love that perfection is not required. He tells us in A Course in Miracles that he stands at the end to correct any mistakes that we could not.. So thank You that we are in good hands.
May we seek to grow today in lightness, even as we grow in love. You would not have us approach life with a seriousness that eludes peaceful and easy living. The light touch, the light burden, all hallmarks of Jesus. May we incorporate these traits into our own Selves.
Amen.
MIRACLES EACH DAY
