My thoughts* on Workbook Lesson 301 for October 26, 2024. And God Himself shall wipe away all tears.
And God Himself shall wipe away all tears.
* I currently live in a ‘storybook’ and true ‘eternal’ life is inside safe and sound in the Presence of God.
1. Father, unless I judge I cannot weep.
* Bullshit! I AND JESUS weep for those who still think they are outside of God and lost to the terrors of guilt and self-abuse.
²Nor can I suffer pain, or feel I am abandoned or unneeded in the world.
* Bull! I suffer but I know that it is ONLY part of a story that Christ has not released yet.
* Abandoned, no. Not in God anyway. BUT BY THOSE STILL CAUGHT UP IN BELIEVING THE STORY, YOU BET I DO! I KNOW THAT IT IS ONLY PART OF THE STORY OF SEPARATION THAT CHRIST IS STILL CAUGHT UP IN. HOWEVER, ON THE “LEVEL” OF THE STORY IT IS A FACT.
* I feel needed in the world because I know that someone has to testify of God, the Father.
³This is my home because I judge it not, and therefore is it only what You will.
* Our HOME is in the Presence of GOD. Do NOT think that you can mix the principles of Heaven IN the egomaniacal stories of belief in separation from God and be “safe” in EGO LAND. YOU ARE NOT. Your courage and very spirit are attacked continually and called to declare your loyalty to the alpha ego of your ‘tribe.’ Do NOT think that there is any other option. Cause there AIN’T.
⁴Let me today behold it uncondemned, through happy eyes forgiveness has released from all distortion.
* This is a VERY CONFUSING statement. Because it WOULD BE CONDEMNED ~ IF ~ IT WERE REAL. It is NOT, period.
⁵Let me see Your world instead of mine.
* This statement makes sense. The one prior did not. UNLESS, you are seeing “world” as meaning the one that God would show you instead of the one that you manifest instant by instant as you BELIEVE in separation from self and Creator, or if you see yourself as your creator.
⁶And all the tears I shed will be forgotten, for their source is gone.
* When you have had your fill of the suffering and accept the forgiveness of the Atonement you know what is story and what is truth. Basically, you know that you know NOTHING about the ‘fake world’ that you find yourself in and you rely on Father’s Guidance by the witness of the SPIRIT WITHIN.
⁷Father, I will not judge Your world today.
2. God’s world is happy.
* WITHIN.
* Be careful how you show it though and KNOW FOR A FACT that if people see you smile they will do their best to knock it off your face.
* I am serious. This is not a joke or cute.
* A gentle smile can do a lot to lift people. I have seen it in the grocery store and on the street, mainly amongst strangers.
* A full blown expression of happiness from SPIRIT’s witness that all will know one day will be a threat to any ego mentality that you stay close by for too long.
²Those who look on it can only add their joy to it, and bless it as a cause of further joy in them.
* Bull. ‘IN EGO MENTAITY’ they run from the joy that the SPIRIT brings and DARE YOU to show that they can have that joy as well.
³We wept because we did not understand.
* This rips your very right to have feeling or compassion. No wonder KW was able to do what he did with the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth from the Course!
* “Jesus wept’ when Lazareth died because people did not understand that Lazareth could not die in reality. These are my tears as well.
⁴But we have learned the world we saw was false, and we will look upon God’s world today.
* YES.
* This is what I do and you can as well.
* That does not mean that you will not have to deal with the ego trips and stories of mayhem they have told themselves. And as a representative of God’s Love YOU will be seen as an enemy. UNTIL they choose to let go of the stories and see God and His Son.

Till next time, God bless, debi.
