Day 88

Today's Lesson:

Today we will review these ideas:

(75) The light has come.

In choosing salvation rather than attack, I merely choose to recognize what is already there. Salvation is a decision made already. Attack and grievances are not there to choose. That is why I always choose between truth and illusion; between what is there and what is not. The light has come. I can but choose the light, for it has no alternative. It has replaced the darkness, and the darkness has gone.

These would prove useful forms for specific applications of this idea:

This cannot show me darkness, for the light has come.
The light in you is all that I would see, [name].
I would see in this only what is there.

(76) I am under no laws but God's.

Here is the perfect statement of my freedom. I am under no laws but God's. I am constantly tempted to make up other laws and give them power over me. I suffer only because of my belief in them. They have no real effect on me at all. I am perfectly free of the effects of all laws save God's. And His are the laws of freedom.

For specific forms in applying this idea, these would be useful:

My perception of this shows me I believe in laws that do not exist.
I see only the laws of God at work in this.
Let me allow God's laws to work in this, and not my own.

Miracles I'm noticing:

The world continues to be a more loving and beautiful place as I shift my attention to love. It is a beautiful spring day here in Fargo, even though it is cloudy and rainy. The weather doesn't matter - the sun is always shining behind the clouds, even if I can't see it.

I think I used to wait for the sun to shine before determining how happy I would be - both literally and figuratively. I looked outside myself to decide how to feel or what to do. Now I realize that everything comes from inside. I'm learning - really learning - the truth of the statement "As above, so below. As within, so without." I determine my own weather, regardless of what the outside conditions are. I see what I'm looking for. When I know that the light has come, that is what I see. When I remember that I am under no laws but God,'s, the pressure is off me. I can be freed up to BE who I am instead of worrying what I should DO.

I spoke last night for a group of leaders from all over the United States and my message was as authentic as it's ever been. (It didn't hurt that I had just seen James Ray speak the night before!) There have been times when I've had trouble telling my audiences about the book I've written (and which is the foundation for the presentation). But last night I told them I would be ripping them off if I didn't share the book with them. I sold more books last night than I can remember selling at one event because I was sharing it with them in love, not with my ego. The outcome was different and the feeling was different. Miracle? You bet!
