What is behind the surface

I will be sharing the lessons from A Course in Miracles this year, so this will get us started. "Remember only this; you need not believe the ideas, you need not accept them, and you need not even welcome them."💚Image by Felix Henrichs from Pixabay

There is a softness and a give within any situation that seems rigid, impossible, stuck, chaotic, or fearful 💚Photo by Tsuyoshi Kozu on Unsplash

It's okay to allow those you call other to experience their feelings. Your job is not to fix or even to respond in a way that ego calls ideal or helpful. Your job is to pay attention. If you feel any reactivity, their cry highlights your own, and this can be addressed now. As you practice finding those thoughts that block love, you can do so even in the midst of what seems to be intensity. To do this--to seem to put yourself first in this way--is to serve all.Photo by Wolfgang Hasselmann on Unsplash

These messages are like a wash cycle that assists you into settling into and staying in the sane/same part of your mind that you share with all you call other 💚Image by Alexa from Pixabay

You can allow the distortions you're seeing in front of anyone or anything to disappear. A not-good feeling means that you are viewing a distortion. There is no need to react to a distortion when it can be replaced so easily. Have faith in clarity, and clarity is what you have. If clarity is what you have, it's what you see others having.ReadImage by Susana Bartolome from Pixabay:

Your soft place to land and to be is directly within and does not come from anything outside of what you are 💚Photo by Coralie Meurice on Unsplash

Love is untouched by hate. In the world of illusion, it seems the projection of hate (what isn't real) blocks out what is real (love). But love is unopposed. And love is real. Learn to look toward what is untouched and untainted in everyone and everything, and you discover what you have been hiding from yourself.ReadPhoto by Fethi Benattallah on Unsplash

There's a difference between how something looks when you project fear on it and how something looks when love extends to and from it 💚Image by Ahmet Yüksek from Pixabay

Chapter 9: The Acceptance of the AtonementIV. The Holy Spirit's Plan of Forgiveness"Look, then, beyond error and do not let your perception rest upon it, for you will believe what your perception holds."Image by David Maw from Pixabay

**My first thought after receiving this message was, "Jesus!" This will be funny when you reach the end. 😊**The only thing that can die is an illusion. Being fearfully attached to what seem like separate elements in time and space is like participating in a death cult. We are trying to show you a devotion to death that goes unnoticed. Think of being trained to worship death, by your own request, of course. We're not going to pretend that anyone else did anything to you.ReadImage by Vitaly Kobzun from Pixabay
