Gentle Healing Year 1 ~ Lesson 179

Review Lesson 179

Steady our feet, our Father. Let our doubts be quiet and our holy minds be still, and speak to us. We have no words to give to You. We would but listen to Your Word, and make it ours. Lead our practicing as does a father lead a little child along a way he does not understand. Yet does he follow, sure that he is safe because his father leads the way for him.

So do we bring our practicing to You. And if we stumble, You will raise us up. If we forget the way, we count upon Your sure remembering. We wander off, but You will not forget to call us back. Quicken our footsteps now, that we may walk more certainly and quickly unto You. And we accept the Word You offer us to unify our practicing, as we review the thoughts that You have given us.

Review Lesson 179:

God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

(167) There is one life, and that I share with God.

God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

(168) Your grace is given me. I claim it now.

God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

Review Lesson 171

Today we begin our fifth review period. The review introduction says, “This time we are ready to give more effort and more time to what we undertake … that we may go on again more certain, more sincere, with faith upheld more surely.”

There is a beautiful prayer in the review introduction, one you may want to read at the beginning of each day of this review period:

Steady our feet, our Father. Let our doubts be quiet and our holy minds be still, and speak to us. We have no words to give to You. We would but listen to Your Word, and make it ours. Lead our practicing as does a father lead a little child along a way he does not understand. Yet does he follow, sure that he is safe because his father leads the way for him.

So do we bring our practicing to You. And if we stumble, You will raise us up. If we forget the way, we count upon Your sure remembering. We wander off, but You will not forget to call us back. Quicken our footsteps now, that we may walk more certainly and quickly unto You. And we accept the Word You offer us to unify our practicing, as we review the thoughts that You have given us.

And then we are asked to contemplate this thought as we review lessons 151-170:

God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

Here is my recommendation for this review:

  1. Begin each day with the prayer above. Let yourself feel how much you want your practice to be individually guided from within.
  2. Spend a few minutes with the day’s review lesson, silently being with the words for that day’s review, and then feel for what you are to do next. A few possibilities are:
    1. You may feel to contemplate the review lesson and write what comes to you during contemplation.
    2. You may feel to review the tips from the lessons that are reviewed on that day.
    3. You may feel to practice self-inquiry through journaling regarding some thoughts in your mind.
    4. You may feel to go directly into awareness-watching-awareness meditation.
    5. You may have a feeling to practice the review lesson in some specific way throughout your day.

Trust whatever comes to you. Remember you have prayed for guidance to lead your practice. Remember that guidance is always individualized to fit each person perfectly, and then trust the guidance that comes to you each day of this review period.

For your convenience, I will provide links to the tips for each lesson that is reviewed throughout this review period.

“Let us raise our hearts from dust to life” as we let intuition guide our individual practice throughout this review period.

And now for Review Lesson 171:

God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

(151) All things are echoes of the Voice for God.

God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

(152) The power of decision is my own.

God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

Gentle Healing Year 1 ~ Lesson 170

Lesson 170. There is no cruelty in God and none in me.

A skunk does it. A snake does it and family members will even do it. What’s that, you may ask. We defend ourselves from fear with attack.

You have all probably heard Jacquelyn tell stories about when she, our Mom and I were living together on my property and contemplating turning the property into a spiritual community. In our process there were many lessons learned. If you listened to Jacquelyn, her stories consist of how Mom and I were mean to her and would gang up on her. Mom and I always seemed to be in a state of disbelief when Jacquelyn, totally unprovoked, would verbally attack one or both of us. I suppose the reason we didn’t kill one another and grace would drop in to save was because we all had a sublime intent to create a community for the purpose of awakening.

I remember one evening in particular when Mom and I had just sat down to dinner. Jacquelyn came into the room and said something that appeared at the time to be harsh to Mom. I heard it as if someone had leaned over and whispered into my ear, “This has nothing to do with you.” I am quite sure without the grace, I would have sensed fear and defended Mom via an attack on Jacquelyn (maybe we did gang up). Just like the skunk and the snake do, I would have become defensive and attacked out of my fear. I know this because this scenario habitually played out many times as the three of us struggled to get the spiritual community set up.

To give up the habit of attack we need the desire or the grace to give it up. We resist the urge to attack by practicing rest, accept and trust when energy arises that would seem to advocate a need for attack. Our lesson today tells us fear is protected, not escaped when we use cruelty as a means to protect ourselves. Today’s lesson also tells us , “You make what you defend against, and by your own defense against it is it real and unescapable.” Every defense if truly seen is an attack. Jacquelyn was right. We thought we were merely defending ourselves, but in reality we attacked her because we allowed fear to become our safety and protector of our peace when we turned to it for solace.

If in the moment you hear a call for defense and Grace doesn’t come and whisper in your ear to drop the cruelty of attack, then lets be prepared to release this cry for defense. Again, lets give up the habit of attack and defense. Let us rest, accept, and trust that all defense is foolish and be released from what our lesson calls abject slavery. This is within our grasp with this simple practice of rest, accept and trust. With this practice, our lesson tells us, “Now do your eyes belong to Christ, and He looks through them. [Now] there is no cruelty in God and none in me.”
