There is no life, no action, no manifested cosmos without God willing it to be. As for fish who have no life without the ocean around them, so for all beings. There is no life without God\u2019s will projecting the field of Love in which we live, and move, and have our being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God wills peace for His (child) son.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n My conflicts about everything<\/span> cannot be real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n P shared a meme of the 2015 Burning Man sculpture \u2018Love\u2019 with me this morning. It\u2019s the one depicting the inner children reaching for each other while inside the steel frame adults turned away from each other.<\/p>\n\n\n When I look at this art I feel the longing in the children for connection, for the Love to be flowing between them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why do I block this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is what the Course teaches, for us to live from that innocence, loving presence within us. This is who I am, God\u2019s will, that I want so much. But I still feel that I block. Why???<\/p>\n\n\n\n Someone might take something from me. Someone might disturb my peace (not that I am peaceful like described in this lesson).<\/p>\n\n\n\n I am still protecting myself (like I have the tools for this) instead of trusting God\u2019s will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGod wills peace for His (child) son.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Can I just let go a little and try God\u2019s way?<\/p>\n\n\n\n I want to be different, to be more open to letting love flow from me, to others, and back again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n _\/\\_<\/p>\n\n\n\n Is my will His? This lesson had me feel resistance, like God is overpowering me. That I must give up my will and accept God\u2019s will. I believe I am meant to realize that they are the same. I am an aspect of God so what I will is as God wills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But what if I wanted to start a war?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then I wouldn\u2019t be in alignment with God as I\u2019m choosing fear over Love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, when we choose our own will, based on fear, we are out of alignment with God, therefore God\u2019s will would differ from ours. How is this possible?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because I feel resistance, am I out of alignment with God? Yes, as I\u2019m in fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Surrender is the spiritual tool I am familiar with \u2026 to consider using here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAs an expression of the will of God, you have no goal but His.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I feel I have a long way to go to move my choices away from fear. I am reminded of Michael Singer\u2019s life of surrender (book \u2018The Surrender Experiment\u2019). His life always works out and he moves through all the events with joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I can work on just surrendering, but I feel I want to understand. Otherwise, it feels like just giving in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why am I battling God? I still don\u2019t trust God!<\/p>\n\n\n\n God is Love. God is light. God is law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Omnipotent. Omniscient. Omnipresent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Source, Universe, Creator, Being, All That Is, original awareness, quantum field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I have learned that God\u2019s will is to: evolve, expand, grow, Love, experience. I\u2019m OK with these ideas, but I know (think I know) that experience can include some pretty bad things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My will includes peace and joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n LOL!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n ACIM explains that these are the effects of aligning with God\u2019s will!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There is no will but God\u2019s. 3-15-2024 As I wrote the lesson title down the question came, \u2018Is God\u2019s will the Source of all action?\u2019 Then, in response, I received the image of myself floating in the river of God\u2019s … Continue reading ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/triciabatessmith.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/burningman-og-800723425-1024x538.png?resize=584%2C307\")
