My mind holds only what I think with God.
Each day during the review period, be sure to start with five minutes contemplating this thought. You don’t need to write anything about it, although you can if something begins to come that you want to write down. However, be sure to spend five minutes marinating in this thought. Assume that it is preparing you for what will follow next, even if you do not notice the preparation at all. After you’ve spent five minutes with this initial thought, go on to contemplate the review lessons for the day. Write down what comes as you contemplate them.
This is my personal contemplation for the day. Be sure to write your own.
LESSON 143. My mind holds only what I think with God.
(125) In quiet I receive God’s Word today.
(126) All that I give is given to myself.
The quiet mind is often quiet, not just when sitting in meditation. I see thoughts that clamor for my attention. I see the choice to be quiet. My peace lies in the choice to rest in awareness. How do I receive God’s Word? I receive God’s Word by leaving space for it. In this quiet space there is clarity and absence of doubt.
I give to myself by resting in awareness. By removing attention from the thoughts that offer themselves to be thought, I receive that which is always present within the spaciousness of awareness. The peace that is present is that which I give to myself. By giving myself the space in which to simply be, I receive the gift of spaciousness. It is this same spaciousness and allowance I take to my interactions with others. Like meets like and this spaciousness, joy even, is given back to me.
