I choose the second place to gain the first.

“I am glad that nothing I imagine contradicts what You would have me be.” (2.2)

I choose God’s will for my life. It is with gladness in my heart that I declare this. I have lived trying to plan, control, manipulate life to be safe and at peace. It is not possible to do with this false self and separate will. The flow of Love is lifting and supporting me when I let go of my fears and beliefs to receive in life what my true Self wishes me to experience.

“It is Your Will that I be wholly safe, eternally at peace.” (2.3)

I find this lesson to be an extension of my thoughts on Lesson 326. Surrender to the Will of God is not an obligation or a punishment … It is a choice.

It is a choice to return to the flow, to be in support of the bigger plan which is the growth and expansion of consciousness through experience. Love is the method to connect all the parts in relationship. Peace and joy are the effect when an individual chooses to support the plan.

It’s all good!

I find this lesson confusing so I will write a summary:

  I choose to separate myself, to live by my own will – this is first place;

  First place brings with it suffering, though, still a path to salvation;

  When we pause to act from our hearts, second place, we gain from God’s will;

  God’s will for our lives makes us first, it takes us to salvation … rejoining;

  Nothing we do can overrule God’s will for us.

(I found CAC’s message today upfront I my mind as I wrote through this lesson.)

“The sharing of the small self will be the discovery of the True Self in God. ‘Unless the single grain of wheat dies, it remains just a grain of wheat’ (John 12:24).” ~CAC Daily Meditation 11-24-2022.
