This is as I noticed myself reading the lesson and then needing to go back to the title to confirm the context of the lesson. I found that this new method slows my breathing, and brings me into alignment for hearing the lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How can illusions satisfy God\u2019s child, me? How can the false world that I create in my mind give, enrich, nurture this being within who seeks for so much?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love can quench my thirst. I am the one to choose to see its flow in this world and then, to put aside fear to float in what God offers. &lt;3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9-29-2023<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>As I read the lesson title, I asked myself, \u2018do we, God\u2019s children, believe we can be satisfied?\u2019 The following thoughts came: do we know what we want? Do we believe we deserve anything?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cCan illusions bring me happiness?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This quote gave me clarity that we want happiness to be satisfied. That desire is innate in us all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cHeaven can be chosen just as easily as hell.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heaven is always here. I get to choose. But I want to know how I came to block it. Why isn\u2019t it here flowing it happy dance all through my energy field?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because I must do everything my way! I can see that I am this way because of life circumstances, my personality type and life experiences. Most of this I did not choose. But, as an individual awareness, I am blessed with the gift of choice. I choose Love, connection, joining. I don\u2019t want to believe I am out here on my own anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9-29-2022<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Am I content with illusions? No. I like to be comfortable, so this is what I must stay aware of when choosing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I desire to be connected to HS, God, Jesus, Love, and all its forms. But I also desire to be connected to other humans. I want companions who I can share my desire for God with, to seek together, to have uplifting conversations that bring more clarity and help to release the temptations of illusion \u2026 and comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Where would you have me go?
