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

"I am as God created me."
I am as God created me. His son cannot suffer anything. I am His son. If we remain as God created us fear has no meaning, evil is not real, and misery and death do not exist. This thought is all we need to let complete correction heal our minds, and give us perfect vision and heal all the mistakes that any mind has made at any time or place.
If we remain as God created us, appearance cannot replace the truth, health cannot turn to sickness, nor can death be substituted for life, or fear for love. Obtain the CD "Spirit, Mind and Body" @peakform.net
