We begin our third review in the workbook for A Course in Miracles today. It's hard to believe that I began this blog series 51 days ago at the end of the first review section. If you are a new reader or subscriber of my blog, take a look at my early postings, starting with Day 60: Welcome to the Countdown!
Today we review the following lessons:
Day 91: Miracles are seen in light.
Day 92: Miracles are seen in light, and light and strength are one.
Today's lessons remind us that in order to live a grander version of ourselves, we must look beyond the physical world we inhabit, for it is in Light where Miracles and the Gifts of God await. Miracles, as defined by the Course, are shifts in perception from fear to Love. To say they are seen in light does not suggest that they are only visible during the daytime or if we turn on a light in a dark room. The "light" referred to here is a metaphysical Light, one which is not visible to the human eye. Sight, then, in this circumstance, is a kind of extra-sensory vision. To See as such requires Strength.
The good news here is that we all have the Strength of God within us. We are extensions of God, and we are thus forever tied to Him and all the rest of His Children. We easily forget this living in a physical world, where we appear to have separate bodies and separate thoughts. Yet if we look deep enough, we will see that even on a microscopic scale we are connected. The atoms that comprise our bodies blend with the atoms in the air which surround us, which blend with all the other living (and nonliving) beings on this planet. Furthermore, our minds are joined to one another, as we are all in the One Mind of God. Again, by looking deep enough, we will tap into this reservoir. And what we will find there is pure Love, pure Joy, pure Peace, and the quiet and unfaltering Strength of God.
It is there, within each and every one of us, for at the Core of all there is only One. Just as you may look at the tops of your fingers and perceive them to be separate from one another, when you travel further down to see your whole hand, you notice that they are all connected by your palm. Like us, each finger has a different role, but they are all made of the same substance. Just as your fingers each have flesh, blood and bone, so our souls each have Love, Joy and Peace.
To recognize this is to be in Light. This is the Strength that comes with True Vision. This is where we begin. By realizing that We are All One, we tune our minds to a higher frequency. We join our minds to the One Universal Mind, which is God. This is the frequency where miracles will make themselves known. This is the frequency where we will experience Strength like we never knew possible.
Whenever you catch a glimpse of the palm of your hand today, remember from Where you Come. Set your mind to the frequency of Oneness, and what we once perceived in fear will shift to Love by virtue of the Miraculous.
Until tomorrow,
Journeyman
