Welcome
to the Miracles Discussion Board. The purpose of this board is
to serve as a forum for discussion of the course and other teachings of love
in a respectful and accepting way.
Love holds no grievances
Let me not betray my Higher Self.
I pray that this be the lesson that calls me up short
once again for enjoying my grievances...
Me? rell
Yes, and it is also the lesson that makes clear
the distinction between: the lower self and the stoney path to the Higher Self.
If we/me really honestly could/would not indulge
in a single grievance (pet peeve) we would flip
right into our Higher Selves automatically and stay there.
Even right now, I have a good grievance.
I had not wanted to let go of...
I will 'go for it' again today.
But this lesson sure calls one up short...
and I am short!
My present pet peeve entails me wanting some one else to change.
Well, I do know better than this. I cannot get this to happen.
And I am giving ego full reign to walk all over my Higher Self.
These exercises will let me see that
I can no longer enjoy my futility.
Nor my well learned loyalty to life with grievances.
Here is how:
"I would see you as my friend,
if I could get you to change."...LOL (that is it!)
Holy Spirit is tugging at me.
(hey! I had ask to let go.)
{{{But let me finish my whining time...then I will}}}
O. K. I've done this so many times before on all of
my delightful defensivenesses...
I'll learn again to let go.
And I'll repeat this idea many times today!
"That I may remember you are part of me
Your mind is part of my mind, and if or when
I can love you as God does...then I can also
Love me unconditionally...like God does...
"Love holds no grievances
Let me not betray my Higher Self."
"I would wake to my Higher Self
By laying all grievances aside
And wakening in Him."

You have to tell me about God. I’m starting to forget
by
Beverly Hutchison McNeff, Editor of the Holy Encounter, a (ACI Miracle Distribution, said that they’d recently received a beautiful letter from one of their readers, who told of a true story about a couple who were expecting their second child and towards the end of the pregnancy their precocious 2 year old said, “When the baby is born, I would like to spend some time with it alone.”
He repeated this request over and over and was insistent upon it after the baby was born. These parents were a bit nervous at the manner in which their child spoke about it, but they decided to allow it.
They set up and intercom by the baby’s crib so they could hear if there was a problem. This is what they heard their elder child say to the baby. “You have to tell me about God. I’m starting to forget.”

lesson #359...God’s answer is some form of peace.
by
lesson ACIM #359 “God’s answer is some form of peace.
All pain is healed;
All misery replaced with joy.
All prison doors are opened.
And all sin is understood
As merely a mistake.”
“God,
My will is to forgive Your world…
My will is to let creation be Your Own!
I came into an ego world
Misunderstanding ALL things…
I never ever thought
That I was a “sinner” and:
Nor knew that I was
A holy Son of God.
(Never in another Millennium!)
God,
What You created sinless
Abides forever and forever.
Such as I am…sinless!
God! (This is the very best!)
I am so tickled to learn
That I’ve made no mistakes
Which can ever have any effect on me.
Sin is impossible!
Forgiveness rests upon
A certain base more solid
Than the shadowy world
God,
Keep helping me to forgive.
I want what you have in store for me.
Help me forgive,
I would be at peace! amen.”

lesson #357 “Truth answers every call we make to God,
Responding first with miracles,
And then returning unto us to be itself.”
Do you want to learn to offer miracles?
Forgiveness being truth’s reflection
Tells me how and how to escape
This ego’s prison house for me.
Jesus has pointed up the way
First he showed me through my brothers
Seeing them like God sees them
In unconditional love.
And then, in forgiving me
Seeing the love in me
Wholly lovable and wholly loving
That I was born to be.
Holy Spirit gently instructs me
To hear Your Word,
To continue to give
As I continue to receive.
As I reverently look upon Your Son,
I hear Holy Spirit lovingly
And silently instructing me
To find the way to You.
As I gaze upon these sinless brothers
I see Your words written there:
“Behold his sinlessness,
And you are healed,” amen…

lesson #356 “Sickness is but another word for sin.
Healing is but another name for God.
The miracle is thus a call to Him.”
God,
I heard that You promised
To answer any call
Any Son might make to You.
I have heard it said
It does not matter what the problem
Does not matter where I might be,
Nor what some one else thinks about me.
I am your Son and You will answer me.
This miracle reflects Your Love.
My answer is assured.
God,
Your Name replaces every thought of sin…
This is so sweet…as who ever is sinless
Can not suffer pain.
God,
I call Your Name and
It gives my answer to me…
Because to call Your Name
Is but to call my own…
And I once again begin
To re-member You, amen.

#354 We stand together, Christ and I, in Peace and certainty of purpose
by
lesson #354 “We stand together, Christ and I,
In peace and certainty of purpose.
And in Him is His Creator,
As He is in me.”
My oneness with the Christ
Establishes me as Your Child,
Beyond the reach of time
Wholly free of every law but Yours.
I am not little rellalou,
Born to suffer and have pain,
I have no lower self,
I am only a HigherSelf.
I am the Christ in me.
I, rell, insist on being this lowerself
That I think I am…
And insist on being still.
The Christ has no purpose but His Own.
And He is like God.
Therefore, I must be one with You
As well as one with Him.
Who is Christ?
Except Your Son
As You created Him?
And what am I
Except the Christ in me? Amen.

We form certain beliefs, for one reason or another--and then we have to live with them. When we were growing up, well-meaning people told us many negative things by way of warning, thereby implanting fears; and these fears are with us today consciously or subconsciously. Other problems we brought here with us when we were born.
We may meet our fears dramatized. The things that we fear in our hearts have a way of coming to us in the guise of other people's acts; of business conditions; of a breakdown in some part of the body.
Thank God it is not necessary as a rule to delve into the recesses of the subconscious and dredge for these things. In the spiritual teaching, as given in the Bible, we learn that by beating the symptoms spiritually (not, of course, covering up symptoms, but beating/overcoming/winning over them) the fear or false suggestion that caused the symptoms--disappears too, and the hurting one is free.
Acquaint now thyself with Him, and be at peace. . . (Job 22:21).

My eyes, My tongue, My hands, My feet have but one purpose:
by
lesson #353
"My eyes,
My tongue,
My hands,
My feet have but one purpose:
To be given Christ to use
To bless the world with miracles."
Nothing is mine alone,
God has always been joined with me
For the same purposes…I share
These purposes with Him,
But…
{{{{Not from my unforgiving nature.}}}
God, You and I may give
All that is mine to Christ…
In my Will-ing-ness, all that is mine
Will be used to serve the purpose
That I share with You, God.
When I Will to do that
All my learning will come
To its appointed end.
Until this end is in sight for me
I will work a while longer
With Him to serve His purpose.
God,
If only I could lose
This ego identity
I could find mySelf in Your Identity
And recognize that Christ
Is but my HigherSelf, amen.

My purpose today:
Is to vision
What God writes
On those emptied spaces
In Our Mind.
My purpose today:
Is to hear His Voic
To listen to your voice
To read your poetry
Of your love for me
To decode your vibratorial messages
Of your love for this Universe.
My purpose today:
Is to know God’s
Unconditional Love
For you and me.
#352 "Judgment and love are opposites.
From one come all the sorrows of the world.
But from the other comes the peace of God Himself."
Oh God!
I just may never see You again.
Every day I judge, and judge, and judge.
Even though every day
I forgive and forgive and forgive.
I do not quite get to that door
That wants to open for me.
I go to Holy Spirt
When I am aware of judgments.
When I know I've blinded myself.
You do give me this way of
Taking the 2X4s out of my eyes.
I do want to come home to You.
Oh God,
My Will-ing-ness is rampant
To come home to You
My memory of You
Is like a lost county trail
Zigging and zagging
Back and forthing like rickrack
Surging ever onward
Towards my way home to You
In Peace and Love.
God,
I will hear Your Voice
I will find Your peace today.
I would love my own Identity,
I will find in It
The memory of You, amen.

Lesson #351
"My sinless brother is my guide to peace.
My sinful brother is my guide to pain.
And which I choose to see I will behold."
My perception is a choice I make.
My prayer is the relinquishment
Of any brother as sinful.
There is so much riding
On this decision:
On how I mirror my brothers
And my egoish attachments.
I know about these feelings
Of aloneness and friendlessness
In a fearful world.
I know these feelings well.
But Your holy Sons?
And who am I
Except Your holy Child, rell?
This is the vision that
I must see so very very clear…amen.

I am what have I learned about me in these 350 lessons?
I have learned:
I, rell, am God’s Child.
Complete and healed and whole.
I shine in His Loving reflections.
I am guaranteed eternal life.
In me, love is perfected
Fear is impossible.
Joy has no oppositions.
And I am the holy home of God.
I have learned:
I am the Heaven
Where His Love resides.
I am His holy Sinlessness Itself.
In what I really am
Is my purity as God created me
As I abide as God’s own.
All who studied this book with me this year
Are joined in what I am and what you are.
We are not these words we speak
But these words were used to teach us all
As we exemplify these words in us!
Our single purpose for these 350 days has been to share.
You joined with me…
So what I gleaned from this book,
So have you as well.
The truth of what we are is not for words to speak nor describe.
Words can speak of our function here…
If indeed we can exemplify the words within our very being.
Some of the things we do:
We are bringers of salvation!
We accept our part as saviors of the so-called egoworld…
Which is redeem through our joint efforts.
We look on everyone as brother;
Perceive all things as kindly and as good;
Do not seek a function past the gate of Heaven;
We know that knowledge will return when we have done our part;
We are concerned only with giving welcome to the truth…
God’s truth.
Ours are the eyes through which Christ’s vision sees
A world redeemed from every thought of sin.
Ours are the ears that hear the Voice for God
Proclaim the so-called egoworld as sinless.
Ours the minds that join together
As we bless the world.
From the oneness that we have attained
We call to all our brothers,
Asking them to share our peace
And consummate our joy!
We are the holy messengers of God
Who speak for Him,
And carrying His Word to everyone
Whom He has sent to us.
We learn that it is written in our hearts.
Our minds are changed about
The aim for which we came,
And which we seek to serve.
We bring glad tidings to the Son of God,
Who has thought that he has suffered.
Now he is redeemed.
As we see the gate of Heaven stand open
We will enter in and disappear
Into the heart of God…amen!

# 350“Miracles mirror God’s eternal Love.
To offer them is to remember Him,
And through His memory to save the world.”
God,
What I forgive becomes a part of me…
As I perceive me?
{{{But, God,
This Son of God, rell,
Is to incorporate ALL things
Within herSelf as You created her?}}}
Therefore, God,
My memory of You
Will depend on my forgiveness of me?
As what I am
Is unaffected by my thoughts?
And what I see in me…
Will be the direct result?
God,
As I turn to You
My freedom depends
On this haunting emerging
Memory of You.
Ever present…but da-ju-vu?
My forgiveness of me teaches me
To let Your memory return to me
And in this thankfulness
My freedom lights shine
To free the world?
As I dance about today
Picking up my many miracles at play
My gratitude will be shared
As I re-member God’s care
That little rell,
Is being restored
To the reality of God’s
Love in perfect harmony! Amen!

#340Today I let Christ’s vision look upon all things for me and judge them not
by
lesson #349 “Today I let Christ’s vision look upon
All things for me and judge them not, but give
Each one a miracle of love instead.”
God,
Your gifts are mine.
Each one that I accept
Gives me a miracle to give.
I have learned
To give as I would receive.
I have learned
Your healing miracles belong to me.
Freeing all things I see
From judgments
Gives me the freedom
That I seek.
God,
I want to obey
The law of love
Giving what I would find
And make my own.
It will be given me
As I have chosen it to give.
God knows our needs.
We have been given
The grace to meet them all.
God,
Your miracle contains the gifts of grace.
As it is given and received as one.
I can trust my Father
To bless me with miracles
To heal my mind,
To heal the world,
As I return to Him in Love, amen.

#347 “Anger must come from judgment.
Judgment is the weapon
I would use against myself,
To keep the miracles away from me.”
God,
My will has been so sick…
I want what goes against my will,
I have learned to deny
What is my will to have.
Oh, Father, I pray today
That my mind be straightened.
You have offered me the gift of freedom,
I choose to honor that gift today.
But I must give up all judgment
To the Holy Spirit
Who sees what I behold,
And yet He knows the truth.
Spirit looks on pain,
And knows it can not be real.
In Holy Spirit’s understanding
All pain is healed.
I do not know my will,
Holy Spirit will judge for me.
And knows Your truth for me
Knowing it is positive as my own.
Holy Spirit will speak for me
Calling in Your miracles to come to me.
I will listen today.
I will be very still,
I will hear the gentle Voice for God
Assuring me that He has judged
Me as the Son He loves, amen.

Thurs 12/14 lesson #348 “I have no cause for anger or for fear today,
For You surround me. And in every need
That I perceive, Your Grace suffices me.”
God,
In my constant remembrance that
I, rell, have never been separate from You,
I constantly remember
That I have never been alone.
Your everlasting Love surrounds me
Your perfect peace and joy
Are gently shared with me
I have no others wishes,
No other causes.
There is no longer a need
For anger or for fear…
As You surround me in
A Presence of Divineness
Your eternal promise goes with me
Everywhere!
You surround me
In perfect sinlessness!
I am created in holiness as
Perfect as Your Own!…
God,
Your Grace suffices me
In everything that You would have me do.
And I choose this will
That You had chosen for me, amen.

God,
Today,
ALL my perceptions are corrected!
There is a change in every perception!
My miracle!
This is how I want to start my day with You!
This is how I will enter my eternity with You!
Today, I step outside of time with You!
God,
I have more that one clock and calendar
In every room…including the bathrooms…
So I can stay here just to keep the time?
How foolish am I? dearest God…
How foolish am I?
What I seek today
Transcends all clocks and calendars
And all things perceived in time.
I seek Your Love.
I would abide in You
Knowing no laws except
Your Law of Love.
I would find the peace
Which You created for me
Forgetting all my foolish
Time consuming toys I had made
I behold Your Glory
As my own!
God,
And when I sleep,
I will remember but the peace of God.
It is mine when I forget
All things except Your Love, amen.

#345--I offer only miracles today, For I would have them be returned to me.
by
lesson #345 “I offer only miracles today,
For I would have them be returned to me.”
God,
I am Your Son.
A miracle reflects Your gifts to me.
Every forgiveness is reflected back to me
As I forgive…
Mirrored back…merely as a miracle to me.
This is Your Universal Law of Love
When I take this into my thinking
My remembering,
My actions,
This Law of Love can be recognized
And seen to work.
God,
In heaven,
There are no needs
Here on this earth,
The miracle is closer to Your gifts
Than any other gift than I can give.
I will give this gift today
My gift is born of true forgiveness.
Like the lily,
That lights the way
That I must travel
To remember You.
Today I pray for peace
To all the seeking hearts.
This light has come
To offer miracles
To Bless the weary and the tired
Who will find rest today…
For I will offer them
What I have received from You, amen.

#344 Today I learn the Law of Love; That what I give my brother is my gift to me.
by
lesson #344 “Today I learn the Law of Love;
That what I give my brother is my gift to me.”
This Law of Giving, Father…
Is not something I had learned.
This egoish world that I knew
Taught me to save what I alone desired.
To look upon “my things” as “my treasures.”
The Law of Love encourages me
To give and I will receive as I have given.
Whom I forgive will fill
My store with Heaven’s treasures
Which alone are real…
Anything that is real is of God.
My forgiven brothers
Fulfill this Law of Love…
As Your Son arises to give and to receive
I will return to You.
God,
How near we are to one another
As we return home to You.
How near You are to me.
How near the ending to my dreams
How close to being this
The redeemed Child of God, amen.
