Redemption

Redemption

i can no longer be a victim
of anything or anyone...
i know myself as consciously
creating all with all...
this is the at-one-ment
of which i sought
to release the world
from suffering and death...
to bring us all to the door of heaven
open to reveal
the beauty of our shining faces...
holding hands we take our places
and join the chorus of song
in thanksgiving and praise
for our creation by One
Who Loves and Loves
and Loves and...........eternally

"In crucifixion is redemption laid, for healing is not needed where there is
no pain or suffering. Forgiveness is the answer to attack of any kind. So is
attack deprived of its effects, and hate is answered in the name of love. To
you to whom it has been given to save the Son of God from crucifixion and
from hell and death, all glory be forever. For you have power to save the
Son of God because his Father willed that it be so. And in your hands does
all salvation lie, to be both offered and received as one." (T-26.VII.17)

My Fullest Self

My Fullest Self

somethings i know i know
somethings i know i don't know
somethings i don't know i don't know
it is what
i don't know that i don't know
that i can never understand

in the undoing of all that i know
thru surrender
does the truth of my being
just gracefully emerge
to delight me
to excite me
and joyfully bring me
to My Fullest Self

Tough for a Reason

About the same time I started reading A Course in Miracles I developed a
close friendship with very bright and loving woman who had spent many years
studying the Bible. She was interested in what was said in ACIM and even
more interested in how it differed from traditional Christian teachings.
Often times we would take turns reading text passages from ACIM to each
other. Then we would discuss their meaning.

From the very first passages we read together she would complain about how
difficult the book was to understand and ask me if there was an "ACIM for
Dummies" available. Why would anyone write a book that is so difficult to
understand? So many metaphors, so many synonyms, so many special
definitions, so many personal pronouns, so many WORDS, so many pages, and
all that damned poetry! She was rather temperamental and at times she would
rant about how Jesus must not have cared a wit about the reader; if He had
the book would be a hell of a lot easier to understand.

Before we stopped reading together (it was too perplexing and annoying to
her) she repeatedly asked me to write an "ACIM for Dummies" saying that it
was sure to be best seller. "Jesus certainly could have made it a lot
easier."

I agreed with her. "Jesus certainly could have made it a lot easier to
understand." But to me it was no mistake that the book was difficult. She
said that this was because the author of ACIM was an educational "elitist".
By this time she doubted that the author was Jesus. Whoever the author was
he or she must not have wanted anyone outside of Mensa to read it. Of course
this conclusion made the author worlds apart from the kind and gentle Jesus
who taught us to "do unto others."

Still, if Jesus could have made it easy to understand, why didn't He? What
could possibly be the value of making it so tough to read? Jesus could have
chosen a different scribe; one with a simpler style and a more pedestrian
vocabulary. For God's sake, Helen was a PhD who taught psychoanalytic
psychology to doctors at Columbia medical school; talk about literate!

But I had then and have now the nagging suspicion that ACIM is tough for a
reason. It's no mistake that I often read a paragraph and by the time I read
the last word I don't recall what the paragraph was about. No, it's no
mistake or oversight that ACIM is tough to read. And it's not in Jesus'
nature to make it tough to exclude anyone, or as a cruel hoax. No, ACIM is
tough for a reason.a loving reason that gently bends to the contours of
God's plan for salvation.

Today as I was speaking with an ACIM friend he asked me, "Ken, you don't
really expect me to understand the book do you?" I opened my mouth and the
following words blurted out. "George, the only time the book has no value is
when you understand it. Why would I want you to understand it?" My mouth
was doing the talking but the words never even formed in my head. "George,
the only time the book has no value is when you understand it. Why would I
want you to understand it?" I rushed to write down these confusing words.

Silence on the other end of the line. George and I both understood that his
understanding of its message was contrary CONTRARY to the purpose for the
book! I guess that understanding is not necessary for "removing the blocks
to the awareness of love's presence, which is your natural inheritance. " In
fact it seems that ACIM was written to thwart its own understanding.

This is the first and only book I have read where understanding was contrary
to its purpose. I could give you my take on the meaning of what I said, but
this might keep you from speaking with your personal Guide to salvation.

A Course in Miracles is tough for a Reason. A damn good Reason!

By the way, I must say "thank you" to my lady friend for her complaints and
to George for his perplexity. "Only appreciation is an appropriate response
to your brother. Gratitude is due him for both his loving thoughts and his
appeals for help, for both are capable of bringing love into your awareness
if you perceive them truly." (T-12.I.6)

They both brought Love into my awareness.

Amen

Fears

Fears


as you walk thru

your deepest fears

you will re-discover ME

and I AM

the truth of you…

you have called these to yourself

to find your Self again…

walk thru them my beloved…

they are illusions

birthed in time

to bring you home…

today fears come

to me as anger

disguised so i can project them

and not know them as my own

i wish to accept them

and ask for Love

to show the way

so proper gratitude

can be given

for the gift

my brothers give

that provoke me so


michael

You Come to Me

You Come to Me

as an experience of love
all form that brings you
to my attention washes away
dissolving remembrance of body
i just sit in bliss with your soul
each soul received in love
becomes such a joy
received as a blessed gift...

thankfulness

is all i wish to express
for your presence
in my consciousness...
accepting this loving gift
desiring to extend it eternally...

"The holy instant is a miniature of Heaven, sent you Heaven. It is a
picture, too, set in a frame. Yet if you accept this gift you will not see
the frame at all, because the gift can only be accepted through your
willingness to focus all your attention on the picture. The holy instant is
a miniature of eternity. It is a picture of timelessness, set in a frame of
time. If you focus on the picture, you will realize that it was only the
frame that made you think it a picture. Without the frame, the picture
is seen as what it represents. For as the whole thought system of the ego
lies in its gifts, so the whole of Heaven lies in this instant, borrowed
from eternity and set in time for you." (T-17.IV.11)

All I Want

All I Want

in all things i choose
but the peace of God
that which brings peace to all
with no one, no thing left out
all that does not appear as peace
but comes for my blessing
so it too may be
included in God's peace

michael





"In any situation in which you are uncertain, the first thing to consider,
very simply, is "What do I want to come of this? What is it for?" The
clarification of the goal belongs at the beginning, for it is this which
will determine the outcome. In the ego's procedure this is reversed. The
situation becomes the determiner of the outcome, which can be anything. The
reason for this disorganized approach is evident. The ego does not know what
it wants to come of the situation. It is aware of what it does not want, but
only that. It has no positive goal at all." T ACIM

What Fools We Mortals Be

What Fools We Mortals Be

the appearance of harm
the appearance of suffering
the appearance of death
is but that an appearance
oh 'what fools we mortals be'
to make appearances real
when all it takes is
our blessing them
to have them return
to the nothingness
from which they come
and so return ourselves
to the love and joy
that never left

Special Relationships

specialness

giving up specialness
contrary to the worlds
belief of what is "correct"
taking off all labels
seeing every moment as
its own special instant...
allowing each instant
to be as it is
loving each and all
the same
as all are me...
allowing those who move
out of my movie screen
and welcoming those who move in
loving all parts of myself
coming and going
simply flying on the wings
of the dove
knowing those wings
are the perfect way home
to my cosmic self...
i am the creator of all worlds...'
i create
by seeing only love
i let go of distorted
"views of myself"
denisa
Special Relationships

so hard to release
we love to love in a special way
excluding others
we love to hate passionately
killing off parts of our self we condemn...

the experience of wholeness
with ALLTHATIS
compelling in its results
---joy and peace
and the continuing experience
of consciously creating our world---

I choose the latter
while still experiencing the former...
yet each time i do
i remind myself to choose again
and call upon the grace of God to assist...
miracles result

michael



"The holy relationship is the expression of the holy instant in living in
this world. Like everything about salvation, the holy instant is a practical
device, witnessed to by its results. The holy instant never fails. The
experience of it is always felt. Yet without expression it is not
remembered. The holy relationship is a constant reminder of the experience
in which the relationship became what it is. And as the unholy relationship
is a continuing hymn of hate in praise of its maker, so is the holy
relationship a happy song of praise to the Redeemer of relationships. "
(T-17.V.1)
