ACIM Workbook Lesson #64:
"Let me not forget my function"
I want to feel good. I want to be happy. Don't we all want these things, no matter what evidence may be exhibited to the contrary? While feeling good and being happy may sometimes seem illusive, they are the product of the realization of our true being as Love and the expression of It. I've found that when I'm not feeling happy, joy is often rekindled when doing something for someone else. This action is an emanation of Love and by its expression we are returned to our rightful Mind. As more of the world is waking up to what our function is, there are more writings concerning this and how we can continue to accept this enlightened state by realizing our true consciousness. There is a book by Neale Donald Walsch which encompasses a way of sharing what we are experiencing. You may be familiar with his "Conversations With God". There is soon to be a series of books entitled "Conversations With Humanity". As you read this book, you are encouraged to go to a website and post your thoughts, making it a true conversation! The next book in this series will include parts of this conversation with humanity. To share with others in this awakening is exciting! We are all doing it to some extent, aren't we? Look at the groups we are involved with in conversation: book clubs, spiritual meetings of various sorts, salons, chat rooms, virtual discussions, blogs, emails -- the possibilities are endless! As I go through this day, I will not forget my function, while I scatter joy and happiness along the way.
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
"It is essential to understand, instead of believe, what relates most nearly to the happiness of being. To seek Truth through belief in a human doctrine is not to understand the infinite. We must not seek the immutable and immortal through the finite, mutable, and mortal, and so depend upon belief instead of demonstration, for this is fatal to a knowledge of Science. The understanding of Truth gives full faith in Truth, and spiritual understanding is better than all burnt offerings." Science & Health Page 285:32-8
