"THIS IS MY HOLY INSTANT OF RELEASE."

"Father, it is today that I am free, because my will is yours.  I thought to make another will.  Yet nothing I thought apart from You exists.  And I am free because I was mistaken, and did not affect my own reality at all by my illusions.  NOW I give them up, and lay them down before the feet of truth, to be removed forever from my mind.  This is my holy instant of release. Father, I know my will is one with Yours."



 And so today we find our glad return to Heaven, which we never really left.  The Son of God this day lays down his dreams.     The Son of God this day comes home again, released from sin and clad in holiness, with his right mind restored to him at last. This is my holy instant of release.

"HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY."

My mother's Love,  I cannot forget.  Please, Blessed Brownie Isabella D'Abreau of Cariacou at ten years of age, you began ministering to the sick and poor.  Although never formally educated, God elevated you to walk among Popes, Bishops and Presidents.  While raising a family of five children, and working a full time job, you continued your simple life of pure love and giving.  "Saint D'Abreau, Patron of the Forgotten People," as you were affectionately called, you devoted your life to thwarting poverty through education and relieving the suffering of the spiritually and physically ill, both in Hospitals and their homes.  Please intercede for me in this time of need.  I will encourage devotion to you.  Through these miracles may the Universal Church recognize your beatification.  I will praise God with you and all the Saints forever with your simple refrain:  "God is Love."    
Happy Mother's Day

"THIS IS MY HOLY INSTANT OF RELEASE."

Father, it is today that I am free, because my will is Yours.  I thought to make another will.  Yet, nothing I thought apart from You exist.  I am free because I was mistaken, and did not affect my own reality by my illusions.  Now I give them up, and lay them down before the feet of truth, to be remove forever from my mind.  This is my holy instant of release.  Father, I know my will is one with Yours. 


So, today we find we gladly return to Heaven, which we never really left.  The Son of God this day lays down his dreams. The Son of God this day comes home again, release from sin and clad in holiness, with his right mind restored to him at last.

My home awaits me. I will hasten there.

If I choose, I can depart this world entirely.  My home awaits me. I will hasten there.  It is not death which makes this possible, but it is change of mind about the purpose of this world.  If I believe it has a value as I see it now, so will it still remain for me.  But if I see no value in the world as I behold it, nothing that I want to keep as mine or search for as a goal, it will depart from me.  For I have not sought for illusions to replace the truth.



 
"Father, my home awaits my glad return.  Your Arms are open and I hear your voice.  What need have I to linger in a place of vain desires and of shattered dreams, when Heaven can so easily be mine?"

"GOD IS MY LIFE. I HAVE NO LIFE BUT HIS."

God is my life.  I was mistaken when I thought I lived apart from God, a separate entity that moved in isolation, unattached, and housed within a body. Now I know my life is God's, I have no other home, and I do not exist apart from Him.  He has no Thoughts that are not part of me, and I have none but those which are of Him.







Our Father, let us see the face of Christ instead of our mistakes.  For we who are Your holy children are sinless.  We would look upon our sinlessness, for guilt proclaims that we are not Your children. We would not forget You.   We are lonely here.  and long for Heaven, where we are at home.  Today we would return, with You into Heaven.  Our name is Yours, and we acknowledge yhat we are Your children. "God You are my life.

"God is with me."

"God is with me.  I live and move in Him."  God is with me. He is my Source of life, the life within, the air I breathe, the food by which I am sustained, the water which renews and cleanse me. He is my home, wherein I live and move;  the Spirit Which directs my actions, offers me Its Thoughts, and guarantees my safety from all pain.  He covers me with kindness and with care, and holds in love the Son He shines upon, who also shines on Him.  How still is he who knows the truth of what He speaks today!

"Father, we have no words except Your Name upon our lips and in our minds, as we come quietly into Your Presence now, and ask to rest eiyh You in peace for awhile."

"Peace to my mind. Let all my thoughts be still."

"Father, I come to you this day to seek the peace only You can give. I come in silence.  In the quiet of my heart, the deep recesses of my mind.  My Father, I wait and listen for Your Voice. Speak to me today.  I come to hear Your Voice in silence and in certainty and love, sure You will hear our call and answer us."







Now, my brothers and sisters do we wait in quiet.  God is here because we wait together.  I am sure that He will speak to us, and we will hear.   Accept our confidence, because it is Yours.  Our minds are joined.  We wait with one intent; to hear our Father's answer to our call, to let our thoughts be still and find His peace, to hear Him speak to us of what we are and to reveal Himself unto us.  (A Course in Miracle-Lesson 221.)

"My mind holds only what I think with God."

Beyond this world there is a world I want.  Because it is impossible to see two worlds.
No one can fail who seeks to reach the truth.  Therefore, I loose the world from all I thought it was.  I will not value what is valueless.  So, let me perceive forgiveness as it is.  If I defend myself I am attacked.  Sickness is a defense against the truth.  When I am healed I am not healed alone.  Heaven is the decision I must make. I will accept Atonement for myself. Only salvation can be said to cure.   BID  'Underneath the Mango Tree.'

"What are we?"

The decision is to accept ourselves as God created us.  Refusal to accept ourselves could make the question seem to be sincere.  Uncertainty about what we must be is self-deception.  It is for this denial that we need to Atone.  Our denial/refusal made no change in what we are.  Though we have split our minds in half into what knows and does not know the truth.

Atonement remedies the strange idea that it is possible to doubt ourselves, and  be unsure of what we really are.  This is the depth of madness.  Yet it is the universal question of the world.  What does this mean except the world is mad?

Nothing the world believe is true.  For what we are are certain.  It is set forever in the holy Mind of God, and in our own.  We have a purpose here.  Do not fail our brothers, or we fail ourselves.  Look lovingly on them, that they may know that they are a part of us, and we are part of them.

Accept Atonement, not to change reality, but merely to accept the truth about ourselves, and go our way rejoicing in the endless Love of God.  from "Underneath the Mango Tree."  by BID

"Heaven is the decision we must make."

In this world Heaven is a choice, because here we believe there are alternatives to choose between.  We think that all things have an opposite, and what we want we choose.   We threat Spirituality as a buffet and select what is pleasing to us.  Therefore, if Heaven exists there must be hell as well, for contradiction is the way we make what we perceive, and what we think is real.

Heaven is the decision we must make.  We make it now, and will not change our minds, because it is the only thing we want.  'Underneath the Mango Tree.'  by BID.

"When we are healed we are not healed alone."

Sickness would prove that lies must be the truth.  But healing demonstrate that truth is true.  When we are healed we are not healed alone.  We would share our healing with the world, that sickness may be banished from the mind of God's children, who are ourselves.

Let healing be through us today.  As we rest in quiet, be prepared to give as we receive, to hold what we give, and to receive the Word of God to take the place of all the foolish thoughts that were ever imagined.

When we are healed we are not healed alone.  Therefore, we would bless our  brothers and sisters, for we would be healed with them, as they are healed with us.    From "Underneath the Mango Tree." by BID

"Let our minds be wholly healed."

Healing will flash across our open minds, as truth and peace arise to take the place of war and vain imaginings.  There will be no dark corners sickness can conceal, and keep defended from the light of truth.  There will not be any dim figures from our dreams, any obscure and meaningless pursuits with double purposes insanely sought, remaining in our minds.  It will be healed of all the sickly wishes that it tried to authorize the body to obey.

Now is the body healed, because the source of sickness has been opened to relief.  If we have been successful, there will be no sense of feeling ill or feeling well, of pain or pleasure.  There is no response in our minds to what the body does.  It usefulness remains and nothing more.

This removes the limits we had placed upon the body by purposes we gave to it.  The strength the body has will always be enough to serve all truly useful purposes.  The body's health is fully guaranteed, because it is not limited by time, weather or fatigue, by food and drink, or any laws we made it serve before.  We do not need to do anything to make it well, for sickness has become impossible.

If we let our minds harbor attack thoughts, yield to judgment or make plans against uncertainties to come, we have again misplaced ourselves, and made a bodily identify which   will attack the body, for the mind is sick.  We must tell ourselves; "We have forgotten what we really are, we mistook our body for ourselves.  Sickness is a defense against the truth.  We are not a body.  Our mind cannot attack.  Therefore we cannot be sick."

"Sickness is adefense against the truth."

When we evaluate a threat, decide escape is necessary, and set up a series of defenses to reduce the threat that we have judged as real.  All this cannot be done unconsciously.  Afterwards our plan require that we must forget we made it, so it seems to be external to our own intent; a happening beyond our state of mind, an outcome with a real effect on us, instead of one effected by us.

It is this quick forgetting of the part we play in making our "reality" that makes defenses seem to be beyond our control.  But what we have forgot can be remembered, given willingness to reconsider the decision which is doubly shielded by oblivion.  Not remembering is a sign that this decision still remains in force, as far as our desires are concerned.  Defenses must make facts unrecognizable.

"Heaven asks nothing."

It is hell that makes extravagant demands for sacrifice.   Our present trust in the Creator is the defense that promises a future undisturbed, without a trace of sorrow, joy that constantly increases, as our lives become a holy instant, set in time, but heeding only immortality.  Let our present trust direct the future, and this life becomes a meaningful encounter with the truth that only our defenses would conceal.

Without defenses, we become a light which Heaven gratefully acknowledges to be its own.  It will lead us on in ways appointed for our happiness according to the ancient plan, begun when time was born.  Our followers will join their lights with ours, and it will be increased until the world is lighted up with joy.  Our brothers and sisters will lay aside their cumbersome defenses, which availed them nothing and could only terrify.  from "Underneath the Mango Tree."  by BID

"Only God's plan for salvation will work."

"It is senseless for us to search wildly about for salvation. We have seen it in many people and in many things, but when we reached for it, it was not there. We were mistaken about where it is. We were mistaken about what it is. We will undertake no more idle seeking. Only God's plan for salvation will work. We will rejoice because His plan can never fail."

"Our grievances hide the light of the world in us."

"Our grievances show us what is not there, and hide from us what we should see. Recognizing this, what do we want our grievances for? They keep us in darkness and hide the light. Grievances and light cannot go together, but light and vision must be joined for us to see. To see, we must lay grievances aside. We want to see, and this will be the means by which we will succeed."

"Our salvation comes from us."

"Today we will recognize where our salvation is. It is in us because its Source is within us. It has not left itsa Source, and so it cannot have left our minds. We will not look for it outside ourselves. It cannot be found outside and then brought in. From within us it will reach beyond, and everything we see will relflect the light that shines in us and in itself." Get the CD, "MEDITATING ON THE LIGHT" @peakform.net

"Love holds no grievances."

"Grievances are completely alien to love. Grievances attack love and keep its light obscure. If we hold grievances we are attacking love, and therefore ourselves. Ourselves then become alien to us. We should be determined not to attack ourselves, so that we can remember who we are." Get the CD, "MEDITATING ON THE LIGHT" @peakform.net

"Love created us like Itself."

"We are in the likeness of our Creator. We cannot suffer, we cannot experience loss and we cannot die. We are not a body. Today we would recognize our reality. We will worship no idols, nor raise our own self concept to replace our Self. We are in the likeness of our Creator. Love created us like Itself."

"Our only function is the one God gave us."

"We have no function but the one God gave us. This recognition releases us from all conflicts, because it means we cannot have conflicting goals. With only one purpose, we are always certain what to do, what to say and what to think. All doubt disappears as we acknowledge our only function is the one God gave us."
