Straighten My Mind

It’s time for me to make a big confession, right out loud. Every time I see Donald Trump’s face and hear words coming out of his mouth, I want to sock him in the jaw; perhaps even throw up on him. As with any negative thought, I do my best to reinterpret and transpose my feelings. But in this situation, I simply cover it up under some metaphorical kitty litter, leaving it there to become even more disgusting. Whew! It feels good to admit that. In light of today’s Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson #347, I want to “straighten my sick mind”. Where I am seeing a sinful world, I ask to cleanse my mind and see it in the spiritual purity which is reality. The illusions have become extremely solid. But it is not possible for me to condemn someone else and remain unscathed by my judgment. The miracle is mine if I can see the One Creator and One Creation. I can then forgive my judgments, thereby releasing all those I have judged. Namaste …

“Anger must come from judgment. Judgment is the weapon I would use against myself, to keep the miracle away from me. Father, I want what goes against my will, and do not want what is my will to have. Straighten my mind, my Father. It is sick. But You have offered freedom, and I choose to claim Your gift today. And so I give all judgment to the One You gave to me to judge for me. He sees what I behold, and yet He knows the truth. He looks on pain, and yet He understands it is not real, and in His understanding it is healed. He gives the miracles my dreams would hide from my awareness. Let Him judge today. I do not know my will, but He is sure it is Your Own. And He will speak for me, and call Your miracles to come to me.

“Listen today. Be very still, and hear the gentle Voice for God assuring you that He has judged you as the Son He loves.”

"Material man is made up of involuntary and voluntary error, of a negative right and a positive wrong, the latter calling itself right. Man's spiritual individuality is never wrong."
