Fri grats...Chap 29, seg V. “The Changeless Dwelling Place.”
by
I am grateful to get to play tennis with the partner that I won so many games with before my Rotator Cuff went out last March. I’ve won some games this year…but on the positive side, I knew we would win our games this time…and did, 6/3 & 6/1 !!! I just love being a “winner!”
I am grateful to be ready to empty and pitch files out of the old office, and put away stuff that is essential to my well being…it will be interesting as to what goes?
I am grateful for miracles in my life. For the willingness to change my mind about others…and to become responsible for my own actions; those that I was busy judging in the others. Funny! how this judging no longer holds in the others. Funny! how now I no longer seek them to change as there is nothing to change in them…just in me…LOL? Why did it take this hard-headed one so long to get this?
I am grateful to open ACIM to Chap 29, seg V. “The Changeless Dwelling Place.”
1. There is a place in me where this whole (ego) world has been forgotten; where no memory of sin and of illusion lingers still. There is a place in me, which time has left, and echoes of eternity are heard. There is a resting place so still no sound except a hymn to Heaven rises up to gladden God the Father and the Son. Where Both abide are They remembered, Both. And where They are is Heaven and is peace.
3.Think not that I can change Their dwelling place. For my Identity abides in Them, and where They are, forever must I be. The changelessness of Heaven is in me, so deep within that nothing in this (real) world but passes by, unnoticed and unseen. The still infinity of endless peace surrounds me gently in its soft embrace, so strong and quiet, tranquil in the might of its Creator, nothing can intrude upon the sacred Son of God within.
3. Here is the role the Holy Spirit gives to me who wait upon the Son of God, and would behold him waken and be glad.
Me? Oh! so beautiful to remind me of the transformations of my ickie projections…(to the extent they have been transformed.) Merely a simple transformation of my own ickie actions, a transformation to a beautiful place of accepting this is here within me.
I am grateful for the Compassion that lets me accept such a possibility as a fact. Without Compassion perhaps I’d still be wavering and pondering and beating me up.
This segment is so beautiful and contains so much of the whole course within it. I have copied this segment in full on this ACIM site…rell
