Lesson #188 “The peace of God is shining in me now.”
This lesson was created into a song by the late Barbara Varley and her husband Robert Varley. They sing:
Why wait for Heaven?
Those who seek the light are merely covering their eyes.
The light is in us now.
Enlightenment is merely a recognition
Not a change at all.
{{{{{{{{rell: I loved this in song.}}}}}}}}}}}
Light is not of the egoworld.
The light came with you when you were born.
It stayed with you because it is your own.
It is the only thing you bring with you…
The light cannot be lost.
Who would deny the presence of what we behold?
It is not difficult to look within
For there all visions (seeing with God’s eye) begins.
For there we all see God.
The light in our minds reminds the world
What it has forgotten.
The world restores our memory of God to us as well.
The peace of God never can be contained.
When we recognize this light within ourselves…
We must then give it away.
Sit quietly…closing your eyes…
{{{{{Look at the beautiful colors roaming around
On the backside of your eyelids.
Did you know those glorious colors were just waiting for you?)
This light that is within us is sufficient.
This light alone has the power to give
The gift of God’s sight to us.
Go on past the egoworld
Let these thoughts become
The holy messengers of God HimSelf.
These thoughts we think with Him
Recognize our home.
Our practice brings us nearer to the light within.
We have learned to take our wandering thoughts…
Bringing them back to God.
We will forgive all
We will absolve all
From what we thought they did to us.
It is us who make the egoworld as we see it.
Now we choose it to be innocent
Absent of sin…open to salvation!
As we give this world our blessing:
“The peace of God is shining in me now.
Let all things shine upon me in that peace.
And let me bless them with the light in me.”
*** love…rell
