Today’s reading from Holy Shift is this:
I love that. Know yourself as love which has no opposite in you. When you know and acknowledge this to yourself, there’s no room for fear, and what can you possibly fear knowing that you are love and you are divine and eternal.
Something to think about next time you are trapped in a fear loop!
I was just looking at Holy Shift and I liked today’s meditation from A Course in Miracles:
Why wait for heaven?
The ones that wait are merely covering their eyes.
The light is in them now.
Enlightenment is but a recognition, not a change at all.
Workbook p I. Lesson 188 1:1-4
That last sentence really got my attention.
Enlightenment is about opening your heart and your eyes to the light that is already within you. You have always been enlightened but have closed your eyes.
We get so distracted with beliefs we learn and the stuff going on in our lives that we build ourselves a story about the way things are. We believe that story wholeheartedly.
What if we gave up the story?
What if we looked at ourselves as the divine, loved and supported beings we actually are? What if we treated each other as equals, rather than us and them? What if we realized that we have all that we need? That our needs are provided and we do not need to drive ourselves mad with anxiety and worry?
What if we all knew we had the power to manifest the lives we wanted?
We do know. See the light shining within yourself and how wonderful you are. Accept the role as co-creator, and dance to the song of the universe.
The entire universe resides within you. See your divinity. Meditate upon it, touch it, feel it and trust in it.
What a cool idea to meditate on!
Today’s meditation from Holy Shift is this:
You believe that without the ego, all would be chaos.
Yet, I assure you that without the ego, all would be love.
Text 15 V. 1:6-7.
Can you imagine it?
A world without ego. No self-doubt, no second-guessing, living fearlessly Aligned with our purpose in love.
Nobody would be better than anyone else and people would help their fellow man. The thing that the ego does best is keep us in a star of fear and fear is an effective ruler, putting us in a state of us vs. them. It individualizes and divides us.
By being mindful and realizing that all things are within our own control and will work out for the highest good, we can quiet the ego. I don’t know whether it’s possible to silence it entirely, but we can certainly work on distancing ourselves from it and differentiating the voice of the ego from the divine guidance of our soul.
If we all just took that step, I’m sure there would be a noticeable shift in the global level of consciousness.
I can dream, right!?
