ACIM Workbook Lesson #99
“Salvation is my only function here.”
When David Hoffmeister was "called" to go on the road and talk to people about the teachings of A Course in Miracles, he didn't know how he would have the funds to do this. He was told by Spirit that all his needs would be supplied, but he didn't believe that. He found himself trying to teach Jesus about the laws of supply and demand. David is a man with excessive formal education, including knowledge of economics, and so he felt certain that Jesus simply didn't understand how the world worked. We tend to think of people like Buddha and St. Francis and Jesus as being beggars of sorts. They didn't make a lot of money, but trusted in the Universe to provide. David was being asked to rely on Spirit to articulate this new/old curriculum. He was being led to teach using everything available -- music, dance, lectures, gatherings -- to help others express deep Love and peace. The reign of peace has begun, and many people are fighting against it. Let's not be concerned with that. Let's put our energy where it will grow -- on this peaceful transition. Christ consciousness is coming out of hiding and we're being called to help everyone see (by way of our own sight) that this is not some esoteric thing which must be kept secret. It's to be shouted from the rooftops! Fear not, shine your light, call forth witnesses to this light -- and above all, don't tone down your joy!
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“Love giveth to the least spiritual idea might, immortality, and goodness, which shine through all as the blossom shines through the bud.” Science & Health Page 518:19-21”
I've heard contrasting opinions on Jesus' finances. I am not sure if we really know. But when I day dream about Jesus, a man with such knowledge of spiritual laws, I choose to imagine Him as very rich. What I do know is that money and finances are not mutually exclusive. I say this because some might think that having less money is more spiritual than having more money. It's really all about how much you allow yourself I think, i.e. someone with a negative stance on money will snot have as much as someone who openly welcomes it for the possibilities it represents. (law of attraction)
