Tips from Regina ~ Review Lesson 219

August 27, 2017 By Regina Dawn Akers

Review instructions: Spend at least 15 minutes in the morning and evening contemplating today’s lesson. Repeat today’s idea at least hourly. Use today’s idea throughout the day.

Today’s review idea:

I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.
I am not a body. I am free

You are awareness-life-presence. Anything else that you identify with is a temporary experience and nothing more. This is what is forgotten. And this is what is realized to the core of one’s being at awakening. It is “a recognition, not a change at all.” (From Lesson 188)

This is why we put emphasis on awareness-watching-awareness in the Gentle Healing Group. By consistently looking toward our Self, we are bound to remember the truth of what we are.

During awareness-watching-awareness meditation, whenever I notice my attention has gone to thought, I ask, “To whom does this thought arise?” That inquiry is a tool I use to turn my attention from thought and toward awareness. However, in the last couple of weeks something else has started to happen.

When I ask, “To whom does this arise,” I spontaneously see the identification that attracts the thought. It might be identification as teacher, as mother, as a responsible person, as a busy person, or some other identification, but I see clearly that the thoughts are coming because of the identification.

I find this helpful. It provides the opportunity to deny the false identification and then immediately look to awareness and recognize the undeniable true Self, that which is present, non-changing and continuous as my Self.

Aug 26 ~ Daily Contemplation ~ Lesson 218

August 26, 2017 By Dawn Fernandez

Aug 26, 2017 ~ Daily Contemplation ~ ACIM Workbook Lesson 218 ~ Review of Lesson (198) Only my condemnation injures me

I am not a body. I am free.
For I am still as God created me.

(198) Only my condemnation injures me.

My condemnation keeps my vision dark, and through my
sightless eyes I cannot see the vision of my glory.
Yet today I can behold this glory and be glad.

I am not a body. I am free.
For I am still as God created me.

If we decide that certain circumstances are justification for our judgment and condemnation, we have decided those same circumstances are a good reason to suffer. By making this choice, we have also decided we prefer to focus on illusion than realize truth.

The ego, which is the wish to be focused on illusion instead of realizing truth, will come up with certain circumstances that seem to absolutely justify our judgment. But, that is just the ego preferring attention on illusion instead of truth realization.

Do not be fooled by the ego’s tricks. Whenever you are tempted to condemn, ask yourself this clear-minded question: Do I want freedom and truth? If the answer is yes, then shift to a spiritual practice that will help free you from the current temptation to judge and condemn.

Aug 25 ~ Daily Contemplation ~ Lesson 217

August 25, 2017 By Dawn Fernandez

Aug 25, 2017 ~ Daily Contemplation ~ ACIM Workbook Lesson 217 ~ Review of Lesson (197) It can be but my gratitude I earn

I am not a body. I am free.
For I am still as God created me.

(197) It can be but my gratitude I earn.

Who should give thanks for my salvation but myself?
And how but through salvation can I find the Self to
Whom my thanks are due?

I am not a body. I am free.
For I am still as God created me.

Tips from Regina ~ Review Lesson 217

August 25, 2017 By Regina Dawn Akers

Review instructions: Spend at least 15 minutes in the morning and evening contemplating today’s lesson. Repeat today’s idea at least hourly. Use today’s idea throughout the day.

Today’s review idea:

I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.
It can be but my gratitude that I earn.

Once we have decided to awaken, the purpose of the entire universe is our awakening. It is the purpose of meditation and the purpose of conflict. It is the purpose of inspiring teachings, and it is the purpose of apparent rejection. It is the purpose of inner guidance, and it is the purpose of everything in the world that seems to be going against ‘my way.’ It is the purpose of everything.

Since our personal awakening is the sole purpose of the universe, we can be grateful for everything. Everything is occurring to help us reach this goal. It is all in support of our purpose. Nothing stands against us. Everything is with us.

My personal prayer at dinnertime each night is this: “Holy Spirit, thank you so very much for everything. Amen.” As I pray, I remember the day. I remember both that which inspired me and that which challenged me, and I let myself feel genuine gratitude for all of it. This keeps the purpose of awakening foremost in my mind and enables me to use everything for this one purpose.

Aug 24 ~ Daily Contemplation ~ Lesson 216

August 24, 2017 By Dawn Fernandez

Aug 24, 2017 ~ Daily Contemplation ~ ACIM Workbook Lesson 216 ~ Review of Lesson (196) It can be but myself I crucify.

I am not a body. I am free.
For I am still as God created me.

(196) It can be but myself I crucify.

All that I do I do unto myself. If I attack, I suffer.
But if I forgive, salvation will be given me.

I am not a body. I am free.
For I am still as God created me.

Attack is not the way to gain what you want. It is how you create and extend your own suffering, your own ongoing agitation. If peace is important to you, attack is something that must be relinquished.

Where there is attack, peace is disregarded.
Where there is peace, attack is unfounded.

Make inner peace your highest value, and attack will disappear from your mind.
