ACIM Lesson 189 notes.

I feel the Love of God within me now.

“Hold onto nothing … forget this world, forget this course, and come with wholly empty hands unto your God.” (para.7)

Paragraph 7 pulled me into the lesson as it brought to mind the blessing of humility. After having lived a few months in this state and now noticing I am no longer there. My head is once again overshadowing the quiet and light of my heart. The place of letting go and being open was blissful.

I had a vision as I read this paragraph. I saw the altar I have been laying my prayers and blessing upon since recognizing it with Lesson 187. I laid myself upon it. I was pulled up into and embrace. The strength felt masculine, but as I was held close it was female … Mother God.

I was held in the arms of a big bosomed dark-skinned Mother of Love. Her strong hand pushed my hair away from my face before She held my face not Her chest. It was an embrace to take away any pain into Herself. I asked that She do the same for all people.

“[Mother], we do not know the way to You. But we have called, and You have answered us. We will not interfere.”

“I feel the Love of God within me now.”

“Through every opened door His Love shines outward from its home within and lightens up the world of innocence.”

I feel the Love of God within. After a body scan, we, all the cells of my body, feel the Love of God within.

Peace is here. Joy is here (nearly).

Yesterday, I re-read the Course Introduction. I was reminded that it says of the meaning of Love, “that it is beyond what can be taught”. This made me think of all the words I use to define Love and to correct myself. I realized that these are gifts of Love: light, peace, joy, strength, truth. These are gifts to us from Love.

For example, one would not say that the ocean is salt, or wet, intending to define the entirety of the ocean in this way. Earlier this week, when I was in a state of peace, I had received the gift of Love.

I am open to receive.

“I feel the Love of God within me now.”

When I receive, I can give to others and be in the flow of God’s Love.

I felt it – I feel it!

I followed paragraph 9 and said ‘come’. I saw my heart light expand and felt the wave thru all my cells.

I am the Love. I am the Light. And yet, I am … still.
