I am grateful for the very quite day yesterday. I did not leave this house and probably wont today until time to go to dinner and a movie.
I opened the course this morning to the segment “The Decision to Forget.” Chap 10. Jesus is telling me to:
“Offer the Holy Spirit only my willingness to remember, for He retains the knowledge of God and of myself for me, waiting for my acceptance. Give up gladly everything that would stand in the way of my remembering, for God is in my memory. His Voice will tell me that I am part of Him when I am willing to remember Him and know my own reality again. Let nothing in this (ego) world delay my remembering of Him, for in this remembering is the knowledge of my Higher Self.
Me? There were certain segments that really got to me the first time I read this course, and this segment still does.
One of the things I’m feeling about this age bracket is memory failure. Kruuuuuuuxxx! It goes like this...if I could remember to ask Holy Spirit to remember for me, I wouldn’t need to ask Holy Spirit, and I resent having to ask about this sulggish memory! But I will.
I would really like to remember what all I have forgotten, or would I? The course has reminded me that I am an Infinite Being and subject only to what I hold in mind, and therefore I hold that I have “rapid memory.”
I am grateful to have come as far as I have in my Higher Consciousness and this gratitude page has been a huge assistant to staying vertically minded and wanting more…rell
