\u201cThe gift of life is yours to give, as it was given to you. You are unaware of your gift because you do not give it.\u201d <\/em>(6.1-2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou do not need God\u2019s blessing, because that you have forever. But you do need yours.\u201d<\/em> (4.1-2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTeach no one that he is what you do not want to be. Your brother is the mirror in which you will see the image of yourself.\u201d<\/em> (4.9-10)<\/p>\n\n\n\n I was speaking with a mentor about the rise in anxiety, again, when speaking in seminary class. I think it is related to a fear of intimacy. She asked me if I feel intimate with myself. Do I love myself enough to want to know all parts of me? Am I open to hearing what others have to tell me about what I do not see?<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is a great big world. (And an even bigger unseen world.) I work very hard just managing what is around me to be good (in my judgement). I fear the perspective of others (as well as hidden parts of myself). Others may point out problem areas that I will need to resolve, this could lead me to fear of being overwhelmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These fearful parts of me obviously don\u2019t pay attention to these Course lessons! LOL<\/p>\n\n\n\n I get to choose the condition and atmosphere of my mind. I choose Love. This then becomes apparent in my physical world. Difficulties may arise \u2026 I choose Love. The body may feel crappy \u2026 I choose Love. Another person maybe mean to me \u2026 I choose Love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And this I know \u2026 that Love will go with me as I move onto the next experience. And may that Love extend out to and through those I may encounter. _\/\\_<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" T-7.VI Extending the Gift of Life. 4-21-2025 \u201cThe gift of life is yours to give, as it was given to you.
