December 2011 Newsletter

This Christmas, give yourself the greatest gift of love - responsibility for your state of Mind!!

Everything you think and say and do teaches all the universe what you desire, believe, think, feel, and perceive about yourself. Recently I read what Christ shares in ACIM about the holy encounter: "As you see him you will see yourself; as you treat him you will treat yourself; as you think of him you will think of yourself." (T-8.III.4) Everyone is our brother/sister in Christ and is due immense gratitude because they mirror what is still held in mind and believed to be true and needs to be released. Your state of mind and your perception are always your choice.

Only you decide what you desire, believe, think, feel, and perceive. There are no "external factors" in a decision of mind for there is literally nothing "outside" of mind. The question is not really "what to do?" but instead "what do you want to see?", for what you want to see is what you believe you are. Every question is a question of identity, and while you believe in a make-believe self-concept that God did not create, your choices are limited. Your ability of choice is limited to either aligning with and choosing the ego's personal perspective or aligning with and choosing the Holy Spirit's Perspective. This is your range of choice and you have no other. Decide to accept Atonement and the concept of choice vanishes entirely, for in Heaven or Reality or pure Oneness there is nothing to choose between.

Decide for the miracle and you feel the peace of a mind that is whole and a glimpse of wholeness. Decide for the ego and you feel stuck in a frustration and conflict of trying to be something that you are not. You have a Purpose to share true ideas, thus strengthening them in your awareness. What you teach is what you learn, and thinking is teaching. You are teaching all the time based on what you desire, believe, think, feel, and perceive about yourself. Your function will carry you far beyond the time-space cosmos, for your function will carry you to the Gate of Heaven, the Atonement. You have a Light to shine. Do not hide this Light under a table.

The opportunities are many and they are waiting only on your answering God's Calling for you.And through this function you will find the experience of the Answer you have requested, for Who You Are is the Answer that everyone who walks this world seeks. Christ is the Answer! Love is the Answer! You will be given specific instructions and direction from the Holy Spirit once you are willing to hear them. There are many answers you have received but have not heard. The Holy Spirit is holding these answers you seek for you until you are ready to hear them. They all reside within your heart and await the readiness of mind to be heard.

I close with a quote from the Bible: "That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is Spirit." Is your brother/mother flesh or Spirit? Remember, as you see your brother/mother you will see yourself. And remember that the Way God created You is Reality: Perfect, Eternal, Innocent, Loving, Spirit which has no opposite : )

Love always, David



"Where is all of this forgiveness practice heading?" you may ask....Kirsten writes....

Well, if you have ever had a mystical experience; a glimpse of Divine Mind that has left you with a soft, deep, inner knowing that Who You Are is pure, total being... completely unaffected by this world... and that the world is just a light sprinkling of images... then you have an idea of where this is all going.

Jesus was in a consistent awareness of his true Identity as Christ. He transcended the limitations of this world and proved that even the death of the body had absolutely no affect on life, on love, on truth. Can you imagine living without fear? Living without concern for what the world may think? Living in a state of freedom and absolute abundance, where everything you could possibly need for your journey home to God is provided without doubt? His promise is true. What was given Jesus is given you. You are the Son He loves. All that is waiting is your full recognition.

Our God-given purpose is joy. Our purpose in this world is to share the love of God, to be the living demonstration that God is here, God is with us, always. Our purpose is to be happy - truly happy - to radiate His Presence and share His blessings with everyone we meet.

This experience is able to flow through us freely when the channel is clear; when the blocks to Love's awareness have been removed. And so we use the concept of 'Purpose' in practical ways, as a means of getting ourselves, our mind, in the right direction. We are asked to have faith because when we are in doubt, the light is completely obscured... and the experience we desire seems impossible to reach.
But with our willingness to take a step in God's direction, all of heaven bends to help us.

Here is a gift from God to speed you along your way

Our Christmas movie recommendation!!

It's A Wonderful Life
(made 1946 by Frank Carpra, starring James Stewart, Lionel Barrymore and Donna Reed)

The world is a funny place. When we think we gain, we forget what we've always had. When we think we've lost and that the world would be better off without us, we forget that we gave it all the meaning it had for us. Then suddenly we have a change of heart and a miracle shows us all the love we have. And when we are filled with such wonder and gratitude for everything and everyone in the world, we see the love reflected everywhere. Love prevails again and again and again. Our cup runneth over!
