Be Careful for What you Pray for - you might get it
The Search for Peace
We spend our lives searching for something, mostly at an unconscious level. We have set our goals and pursue them with vigor, believing they will bring us happiness, joy and peace. They won’t! It is all [part of the ego’s plan to keep us trapped in the matrix, forever striving. “I must have this, I must have tha”t; the relationship, the career, the car, the house and oh, the big one; I must have the money! Lots of it! The list goes on and on and it has no end in sight.

Many years ago I had a very interesting friend. He had a sharp wit, he was intelligent and he was a winner with the ladies! He made everybody laugh, and one of his favourite quips was, when he saw something that he liked, he would tell us all that he would give his “left ball” if it were his, and of course we all used to laugh!
Then one day a call came through to my office but our receptionist couldn’t identify the caller's name or who he wanted to speak to, so she put the call through to me. After some probing I eventually realised this was my young friend and that he was in some serious trouble! I also gathered that he was in a hospital and of course, my immediate reaction was that he had had an accident. I immediately left the office and rushed to the hospital, and when I found him there I noticed that his left leg was in a sling and naturally thought that perhaps it had to be elevated to relieve the pain. I was right of course, but the pain wasn’t in his leg but in his left ball! I was shocked to see that this vital component was swollen to almost the size of a tennis ball. Unfortunately it was malignant, so it had to be removed; be careful what you pray for, you might get it! I don’t remember that he was ever rewarded for surrendering that testicle!
This brings me to an important point! Guard the words you utter; be very vigilant when you find yourself repeating a phrase repeatedly just because it’s funny; it could result in some unwanted consequence. The subconscious mind has no sense of humour; it doesn’t know the difference between a real or an imagined thing, and it is the servant of the thinker, so it will deliver what the thinker’s predominant thoughts are. It was Ralph Waldo Emmerson who said “a man becomes what he thinks about all day long”! Early in the last century, 1920 or so, Florence Schovell Shinn wrote a delightful little book called “The Power of the Spoken Word” and in it she gives many wonderful examples of how we trip ourselves up by repeating negative statements over and over again. Remember too that there is no need to sacrifice anything in the pursuit of a worthwhile goal. The Universe doesn’t work on the principle of “if you gain this you (or somebody else) has to lose. There are no winners and losers in the Greater Scheme of Things, we are all winners. It’s quite alright to want things and yes, you may get some of them or even all of them, but when you become aware that sacrifice is not part of the equation, you will know too, that they are not your Source of happiness.

Lesson 93 from 𝐴 𝐶𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑀𝑖𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑙𝑒𝑠 "Light and joy and peace abide in me"
When we identify with the ego, there is no way that we can see the truth of this lesson. However, when we shift our perception from body (ego) identification to our real identification, which is Spirit then it starts to dawn on us that we are not this small cluster of skin and bones, flesh and blood born into a world of challenges, sorrow and despair, destined to be "small", struggle for survival and eventually only to die. We realise that we are something altogether different. Within us is a power, a life force, the Source of everything that is, and aligning our awakened perception to this reality takes us into a completely different realm.
Keep reminding yourself today that you are unlimited, you are not at the effects of the opinions of others and that you have a special mission here reserved for you to accomplish, that you alone were chosen to complete.

INVICTUS

Out of the night that covers me
Black as the pit from pole to pole
I thank whatever gods may be
For mu unconquerable soul

“I am not a body I am free for I am still as God created me” - Lesson 199 - 𝐴 𝐶𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑀𝑖𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑙𝑒𝑠
Our belief in a body is an illusion, and as Albert Einstein quoted, it is a persistent illusion.
When you come to the realisation that you are an immortal Being you will also come to the realisation that you are Spirit having fun in a body! You are Life, first and foremost, eternal, vaster than the Cosmos, powerful beyond measure, abundantly provided for in every facet of your life. You experience perfect health, perfect love in all your relationships, enough money to take care of your every need and above all else, you have peace of mind, your life overflows with joy, happiness and beauty. All that is required from you is a gentle mind-shift; a realisation that you are blessed beyond imagination, grateful beyond words and always guided to do the right thing”!

“Where you find yourself right now, is where you are meant to be”
Accept this attitude, this posture and you will find peace. If there is a longing within you to be somewhere else, it is Spirit calling you to create the future that you are longing for. If there is discontent with where you are, it is Spirit calling you to use your creative nature to manifest that new future. But it all starts by acceptance of this moment. This is what it is, but that does not mean it is your destiny.
You are the master of that destiny and you can change it by making peace with you current circumstances, in the knowledge that there is a Creative Power within you that will deliver a future of your innermost wishes. Longing and discontent are sacred messages calling you to realise your full potential.
Blessings 🙏

““The Power of Imagination”
The most powerful tool at your disposal is imagination. From the invention of the wheel around 3500 BC to modern day creations, imagination was the source of the form or substance manifested. Someone had to first have an idea of what was to be created before it saw the light of day. Without imagination we could not have evolved to this incredible world we inhabit.
So, why do we sell ourselves short? Why do we allow ourselves to be tossed around like leaves in the wind? It is because we have forgotten that we are powerful beyond measure, that we have been endowed with an ability to imagine a life of supreme abundance, love, happiness, health and infinite peace; a life as close to paradise as your imagination will allow. We are not here to live a mundane life, we are here to co-create with Spirit, which is calling us to realise our true potential and live life to the fullest. How do we do this, you ask? By tapping into our imagination where we will discover that our infinite success and sublime happiness was always there waiting for us.
Blessings 🙏

“There is no 𝑛𝑒𝑒𝑑 to 𝑁𝑒𝑒𝑑 ”
Drop the concept of needing; forever. It is this perpetual reminder to oneself that; “I need this or I need that, or I need the other” that perpetuates a condition of 𝑁𝑒𝑒𝑑. Instead, develop a concept of “Have”! In the bible there is a statement which goes something like this; “To them that hath shall be given; to them that hath not, shall be taken, even the little that they do have”.
When I first heard this I was angry. I was broke and the help that I was seeking was telling me that I was going to be more broke. But, when the truth dawned on me I was liberated, it set me free! You see the Universe works through immutable laws. Take the Law of Gravity for example, if you jump off a building you will fall to the ground. No amount of positive thinking will alter this. So, if a baby falls of the bed you can expect the same result. The Law doesn’t make an exception because of the baby’s inability to understand how the Law works! This means simply, that there is a Law of 𝑁𝑒𝑒𝑑 and that there is a Law of 𝐻𝑎𝑣𝑒, so you get to choose the one that you want, mostly subconsciously.
Remember then, we already have everything we need, it is only our perception that we don’t have it, that causes it to manifest in our experience, as a “𝑛𝑒𝑒𝑑”. So from today onwards, come from an “I have” consciousness; you know you can do it.
Blessings 🙏

“Free yourself by letting go of the Mind”
If you spend quiet time with yourself, you will have noticed that it is impossible to quieten the mind. This is quite normal, 𝑎𝑙𝑙 minds do this because this is the nature of mind, thinking thoughts, and any thoughts will do! The mind is part of the ego’s construction and it is loud, boisterous, noisy and disruptive. Beneath this mind is your true mind, quiet, unassuming and gently reassuring you that “I am safe and healed and whole”.
The ego mind took us prisoner many, many eons ago and if we are looking for peace of mind then the time has come for us to let go of our attachment to the mind that we think is us. When you become aware of the incessant chattering simply become an observer. See the thoughts as you would see passing clouds in a clear blue sky; there is no need to engage the clouds just as there is no need to engage the constant flow of thoughts. Simply dismiss them as you would the clouds, and you will become aware of the underlying serene, positive, wholesome thoughts which are your true thoughts. The “thoughts that I think with God” according to lesson 45 in 𝐴 𝐶𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑀𝑖𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑙𝑒𝑠, is where your freedom lies.
Blessings 🙏
