The Time of Christ

 

The sign of Christmas is a star, a light in darkness. See it not outside yourself, but shining in the Heaven within, and accept it as the sign the time of Christ has come.

We are all familiar with, "Tomorrow I start my diet." Or. "I made a New Years Resolution." Or, Tomorrow I begin to exercise." The next day you hit the wall. My home as a place of Holiness hit the wall very quickly.
A successful diet, in the beginning, requires almost constant focus. The success of it has to be on your mind almost "all" the time. You enter into that very strange relationship with the word "NO."

Will, you don't have to seek a constant with Truth. Just bring your mind back to It when you remember.

Committed to the Spiritual Process

If you’ve been reading my blog/newsletter for the past few weeks then you know significant things have occurred in the life of this mind. Four years ago the ego (personal thought system) fell away. I didn’t realize it fully and I spent three and a half years personally in a rather barren place in this mind, though there was peace in the rest of my mind. I did feel done with the world, but I didn’t know what that meant. I just stayed with the feeling, wondering what would come next. The next thing arrived in this mind last summer with a subtle shift from emptiness to a delicious Spaciousness. This was followed by beautiful Golden Light, Love, and Joy filling the Space. Bewilderingly, an effect of this was a romance novel! From there, the Light and the shifts continued. During this time a client in Australia whom I have called Zelda in these articles, but whose real name is Hannah, became a friend as well. We grew closer over several months and began to experience a lot of sync...

Ask: Any insights on accepting not having the partner and family I want?

“I am 39 and single, childless. I have spent the last 15 years doing everything (and at times letting go) to find a partner (and be the best I can be and absolutely everything under the sun) and have a family. This has not happened. I am a few months shy of 40, and am accepting the painful truth that it hasn’t and probably will not happen (I am not prepared to have a child on my own). It is so hard not to judge this as 'devastating' and 'wrong'.  I can’t even judge it as 'for the best' or 'meant to be'. I can’t seem to connect to the HS in my mind at the lesson or truth of this. There is shock, grief and denial. I’ve been able to accept spiritual understanding with so many things, but not this. In saying that, I am definitely in a process right now, and am quite certain I will come out the other side- I always do. Insights?” - HE             The first thing you need to clarify for yourself is that what does or does not ha...

Ask: What if someone's request is harmful?

  “Our Course group…(is) stumped as to what it says in Chapter 12-3:4…We understand, as Ken says, if someone asks you to jump off the Brooklyn bridge you don’t do that. What if someone is obviously taking advantage of you? Allowing them to is not helpful to them or to you. Examples would be most helpful!” – SB   You refer to T-12.III.4:   “Recognize what does not matter , and if your brothers ask you for something ‘outrageous,’ do it because it does not matter. Refuse, and your opposition establishes that it does matter to you. It is only you, therefore, who have made the request outrageous, and every request of a brother is for you. Why would you insist in denying him? For to do so is to deny yourself and impoverish both. He is asking for salvation, as you are. Poverty is of the ego, and never of God. No ‘outrageous’ requests can be made of one who recognizes what is valuable and wants to accept nothing else.”   A Course in Miracles was first for Helen Sch...
