A Course in Miracles Lesson #226
“My home awaits me. I will hasten there.”
Generally when we speak of departing this world, we are referring to the change we call death. In today's lesson, this departure refers to changing our mind about the purpose of the world. When I read the words, "... change of mind about the purpose of the world", a catch phrase is remembered: "Just say NO!!" Today I will just say no to any thought, any thing, which is not of God. When a thought makes me feel uneasy, I will challenge it and see what it looks like from a slightly different perspective. What does it mean that my home awaits me? I mean, really! How does this affect my existence? Certainly accepting the Truth of our being may translate into manifestation in many ways. Something I look forward to is communication without words. We see this sharing of thought in the animal kingdom. It can be observed in watching birds fly in formation, or your dog expecting you home five minutes before you get there, or any number of insights we may tap into on occasion. I truly feel we are all doing the best we can. Sometimes this doesn't seem like enough to us, whether within ourselves or for others. With each stretching past our accepted limitations, fresh insights will appear. I watch those who are frightened of this new/old way of living. They find reasons to stand still, afraid that things could be worse than they are. I see you, dear One, flying, leaving behind stuck thought and seeing from a higher perspective than you knew was possible. Today I change my mind about the purpose of the world, and live the kingdom of God which is within. Therein lies the safety of home. I'll see you there
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“Take heart, dear sufferer, for this reality of being will surely appear sometime and in some way. There will be no more pain, and all tears will be wiped away. When you read this, remember Jesus' words, "The kingdom of God is within you." This spiritual consciousness is therefore a present possibility.”
