Day 323

Today's Lesson:

I gladly make the "sacrifice" of fear.

Here is the only "sacrifice" You ask of Your beloved Son; You ask him to give up all suffering, all sense of loss and sadness, all anxiety and doubt, and freely let Your Love come streaming in to his awareness; healing him of pain, and giving him Your Own eternal joy. Such is the "sacrifice" You ask of me, and one I gladly make; the only "cost" of restoration of Your memory to me, for the salvation of the world.

And as we pay the debt we owe to truth, - a debt that merely is the letting go of self-deceptions and of images we worshipped falsely - truth returns to us in wholeness and in joy. We are deceived no longer. Love has now returned to our awareness. And we are at peace again, for fear has gone and only love remains.

Miracles I'm noticing:

There's really not much more that needs to be said - today's lesson really says it all. As we "sacrifice" fear for love, we will be at peace and will be the salvation of the world. It is not possible for war to come to minds that are open to peace.

I was listening to Dr. Oz on Oprah and Friends XM radio on Saturday night and he was interviewing Dr. Bruce Lipton about his book The Biology of Belief. It was fascinating to learn that our genes do not control our biology; that instead, energy outside of our cells from our thoughts is what really controls our health. This work shows that we change our bodies as we retrain our thoughts. His research is in epigenetics - epi meaning above (as epidermis is above the dermis). Our thoughts control our genetics.

What is so amazing to me is how many different sources are saying this same thing. Here is a medical doctor telling us what I already know is true, based on what I'm studying in this course and on the things I'm learning from my work with Bob Proctor and others. Sometimes it's not enough for us to trust our inner knowing - we need outside sources to help us retrain our minds, too. Dr. Lipton was talking a lot about the subconscious conditioning and how 95% of our behavior comes from that source without us even giving it a thought. He said it's very possible to increase our conscious thoughts way beyond the 5% and to get radically different results in our lives when we do that.

What are you noticing when you're awake to a certain message? How many sources are telling you the same thing? Just notice today how you can gladly make the "sacrifice" of fear and get beyond the results you are currently experiencing in your life. Today is the first day of the rest of your life! What better day to start!
