I can elect to change all thoughts that hurt.

“And suffering of any kind is nothing but a dream. This is the truth, at first to be but said and then repeated many times; and next to be accepted as but partly true, with many reservations. Then to be considered seriously more and more, and finally accepted as the truth.”
I like how this lesson elaborates on the steps we go through until we finally can accept as truth that suffering is an illusion. I feel comforted that HS understands me, that this will take time to absorb. My ego criticizes because I don’t get to these realizations the moment they are offered.
Trust in God is my strength – I will get there. I am not alone. My guide is loving and patient.

Mom passed today. I find so much truth in the worlds of this lesson.
The circumstances of Mom’s passing have forced me to widen my perspective as time and time again, throughout this experience, I have come to see that I know nothing and can control nothing.
Feeling so blessed and grateful that God has provided the most benevolent outcome (MBO) in the ‘perfect timing’ (as promised by HS).
Will I always be able to stand in this place of peace during a painful experience? I don’t know. But I have been stretched open more.
“I can elect to change all thoughts that hurt.”
In the last week, I could truly see the anxiety that my hurtful thoughts brought to my body. And, I felt quick release of the tension and pain when I chose God’s peace and joy within me, and released the events to God’s plan.
Bye Mom … don’t go too far.

“Let me not fail to trust in you today.”
My thoughts go again to Richard Rohr’s core principle of ‘second gaze’. After reading, I choose to look with different eyes and find another way to see my brother and myself.
Yesterday my chiropractor used kinesiology to bring forward a block in my energy and body. It showed me something I am hurting over, a belief, that is hurting my body. Now that belief is in my awareness I get to choose. Is it true or is it false?
I know it to be false but still I find it hard to shift due to letting go of what I want and my expectations.
Dear Lord, I choose to release my own beliefs and accept your joyous gifts.
