69] My grievances hide the light of the world in me.
I tried to form a question for HS about why I hold grievances. I got the sense that I am doing OK so I felt gratitude. I just sent an email off to a friend — an idea to help her came to me in meditation. This gave me the thought that perhaps it is common that we humans need quiet contemplation to hear our guidance. I thought of Bishop Desmond Tutu as well as Jesus taking time away from their ministries. I asked HS if it is common to struggle with hearing guidance when interacting with others. Yes was the answer. This tells me that asking for time-out, a pause, is a good tool for me to take on.
70] My salvation comes from me [ME].
I am thinking of my connection to the greater ME, the collective consciousness (Christ) that has been sent down into this world as a little finger of individualization. Salvation is my acknowledgement of the flow of love-light-truth from the true ME. There is no work to do, just be in the sunshine of OUR Love.

69] My grievances hide the light of the world in me.
70] My salvation comes from me.
It’s all within me and, as such, is my choice.
“… light and vision must be joined to see.”
I choose to lay down grievances so I may see with the eyes of Love. I will find salvation in the expansion of my heart. The light and beauty of the loving world I see will inspire my blossoming.

[70] My salvation comes from me.
“It is in me because its Source is there.”

69-My grievances hide the light of the world in me.
I’m trying to skip this lesson. The word ‘grievances’ is bringing up resistance in me.
“Let me not use this as a block to my sight.”
Why? Is a grievance a sign of imperfection? Why, this morning, am I feeling like I need to defend perfection?
It seems to me that my looking for perfection and then judging everything against this (as I perceive it) are major grievances within me that I lay over this world. I have grievances about grievances happening within! 😊
Reflection
The trees that I see I call perfect and feel peace flow through my insides.
“My grievances hide the light of the world in me.”
Trees are perfect because I appreciate them as beauty of God’s creation. But if I don’t see the beauty in other things then I judge and create grievances.
Who am I to judge?
I am light, love, truth, Christ when I am open to the flow of these things.
My judgement and grievances stop the flow. I form an opinion, label, classify, try to control the flow by thinking I will be safe from the unknown as I pretend that ‘I know’. I want more than this.
I want to flow.
Great Love, help me to stop blocking!
70-My salvation comes from me.
In the lesson 69 review, I just went outside myself to ask for help. Am I right or wrong?
We are told ‘ask and you shall receive’ and yet salvation comes from within me.
Great Love that is within me, please help me to not block/control what I experience but allow me to accept the experiences.
