The collective consciousness (AKA the world) tells you, “you are a victim of the world”.
Be happy…..your perception of yourself is wrong.
Your mind has divided its allegiance between two thought systems.
Your identification with “who” you really are is totally beyond question except by you.
What you are is not established by your perception and it is not influenced by your perception at all.
Perceived problems about your identification at any level are not problems of fact.
They are problems of understanding since their presence implies you believe that the belief about what you are about to decide is up to you.
What is “collective consciousness”?
Collective consciousness is any limiting thought about age, sickness, money, people etc., etc.
God knows who you are. You are a thought in the mind of the thinker that thought you.
Pg 632 “The thoughts you think are in your mind as you are in the Mind which Thought you. The Thought God holds of you is like an unchangeable star in the eternal sky”.
God is the sky that holds your light.
You are a point of light in the mind of God.
Beyond all idols is the Thought God holds of you.
This Thought is completely unaffected by the turmoil of the world.
The Thought God holds of you remains unchanged forever.
Any belief you accept apart from this will obscure Gods Voice in you and will therefore obscure God to you.
Your limitless power is Gods gift to you because it is what you are.
If you disassociate your mind from this power, you will perceive the most powerful force in the universe as if it were weak.
In this depressing state, the HS reminds you “gently” that you are sad because you are not fulfilling your function as a co-creator with God.
Whenever you deny a blessing to a brother you will feel sad and deprived because denial is as total as love.
Denial has no power of its own, but you can give it the power of your mind whose power is without limit!
URTEXT:
Jesus talking with Helen Schucman and Bill Thetford. (Helen the one that received the material for ACIM).
“You and Bill complain all the time about fear but still persist in creating it most of the time. I told you that you could not ask me to release you from fear because I know it does not exist. You do not. I would hardly help you if I depreciated the power of your own thinking. This would be in direct opposition to the purpose of this course.
Whenever a brother acts insanely, he is offering you an opportunity to bless him. His need is yours.
LONELINESS:
RX GOD GOES WITH ME WHEREVER I GO.
How can I be alone when God goes with me? How can I be doubtful and unsure of myself when perfect certainty abides within me? How can I be disturbed by anything when He rests in me with absolute peace? How can I suffer when love and joy surround me through Him? Let me not cherish illusions about myself. I am perfect because God goes with me.
TIRED AND OR WEARY
RX GOD IS MY STRENGTH
This idea combines two very powerful thoughts, both of major importance. It is the strength of God, not your own that gives you power. And it is His gift, rather than your own that offers vision to you.
Your passage through time and space is not at random. You cannot but be in the right place at the right time. Such is the strength of God. Such are His gifts.
FEARFUL SITUATIONS
RX GOD IS MY SOURCE
When any circumstance or situation presents itself to your awareness that distresses you in any way, remember to tell yourself, God is my source. I have no thoughts apart from Him. (You are a thought in the mind of the thinker that thought you) If you are with another person, try to remember to tell him silently, God is your source.
ANXIETY
RX GOD IS THE LIGHT IN WHICH I SEE
Repeat the idea with your eyes open and then close them slowly repeating the idea several times. Try to sink into your mind letting go of every form of interference and intrusion by quietly sinking past them. You are ready to learn this form of exercise, but you may find you will encounter strong resistance. The reason is simple. When you are practicing this new way, you are leaving behind everything you now believe. Properly speaking, this is the release from hell. To the ego, it is loss of identify and your decent into hell.
FORGIVENESS
RX GOD IS THE LOVE IN WHICH I FORGIVE
Fear condemns and love forgives. Forgiveness undoes what fear produces. Search your mind for those you have not forgiven. It does not matter “how much” you have not forgiven them. It is a safe rule that anyone you do not like is a suitable subject.
Mention each one by name and say God is the Love in which I forgive you. (Name).
After you have applied the idea to those who have come to mind, tell yourself:
God is the Love in which I forgive myself.
God is the Love with which I love myself.
God is the Love in which I am blessed.
Each day a thousand treasures come to me with every passing moment. I am blessed with gifts throughout the day. A brother smiles upon another, and my heart is glad. Someone speaks a word of kindness and my mind takes it as its own. I am thankful for the many gifts that come to me. My treasure house is full, angels watch its open door, and not one gift is lost.
