107 - Truth will correct all errors in my mind.
108 - To give and to receive are one in truth.
Today ended up being a day of searching for truth - though completely unplanned. I asked Source to use me as an instrument in all of my encounters and interactions. I typically start out my day asking this. However, today, I asked it over and over again. It's not because I thought Love was slacking, it's because I wanted to make certain I was listening. It wasn't easy. I will be praying about the situations I encountered today for the remainder of the weekend, with every faith that Source will guide me in providing the information I am responsible for on Monday.
I know this all sounds very cryptic. However, all that is important is communicating with Source; being silent so I can hear the message. When I give silence I am able to receive the truth.

Day 119 - Lesson 118
Review -
105 - God's peace and joy are mine.
106 - Let me be still and listen to the truth.
As I was preparing to blog this evening, I glanced back at my former posts on these two lessons. In some ways those posts seem like such a long, long time ago. I am feeling less restless now and maybe it is because the weather has settled down, we've had more sunshine, and I've been out walking nearly every day. I am still certain that something big is about to happen - I am definitely open to all the possibilities.
Today was one of those days in which everything I set out to accomplish just happened with amazing ease. I love days like this. I love that sense of accomplishment, checking things off the list, and being of service. It was an easy day to feel God's peace and joy as mine. I practiced stillness throughout the day and the truth spoke volumes!

Day 118 - Lesson 117
Review -
103 - God, being Love, is also happiness.
104 - I seek but what belongs to me in truth.
I felt such an incredible sense of peace today. I had a controversial proposal to present to a work group today. In the past, I would have agonized over it. I would have dug my heels deep into my position. I would have felt compelled to aggressively convince everyone that this proposal was the only way to go....and, basically, anyone not agreement just wouldn't be very smart. It felt so good to release all of that baggage (all of that ego). I had done my homework, put together a simple presentation, laid out my ideas and the facts as I saw them - and then I sat back and really listened to the feedback. I received overwhelming support for my idea and I think that, in part, can be attributed to the fact that I simply let go of my need to defend my position. I truly felt fine about whatever the outcome was going to be - knowing that if the decision was not to support the idea I presented it would have been for good reason.
This is just a minor, and yet powerful, example of how much easier life is when I let source be my guide - when I 'let go and let God.' I used to think that was just a ridiculous saying - now I see that I didn't understand it at all. When my intentions are good, when I am well prepared, when I give up my need to feel like I must control everything - when I detach (because I can't predict the future), when I trust in the rightness of the universe, I am able to appreciate all possibilities and every miracle I encounter. I am able to actually see the miracles.
Life is such a beautiful thing - I love paying attention!

Day 117 - Lesson 116
Review -
101 - God's Will for me is perfect happiness.
102 - I share God's Will for happiness for me.
I couldn't have been happier to see these lessons for review. I am so completely and utterly thankful to be 'getting' this. How wonderful to know that God's Will for me is perfect happiness, and, it's true, I do share God's Will for happiness for me. I'm working at remembering not to second guess all the blessings - all of the great abundance the universe has to offer.

Day 116 - Lesson 115
Review -
99 - Salvation is my only function here.
100 - My part is essential to God's plan for salvation.
I received a very difficult phone call in the middle of the night last night. From about 12:30 am to 6:30 am, I slept in fits and starts - maybe two hours at a stretch. I really struggled with getting back to sleep after the phone call. I prayed, and chanted a peace mantra, and I prayed, and I chanted the peace mantra. I tried so hard to remember the sleep mantra but it was elusive and I was too tired to get up and look it up. When I finally got up this morning, groggy, I reviewed this lesson and felt a renewed sense of energy. My morning meditation also gave me a much needed sense of purpose. I was comforted by love, by source, by God. I was reminded that I have no control over the situation involving the difficult phone call. I was reminded to spread as much love as possible. I was reminded that hope - sending thoughts of love and hope out into the universe really do provide healing. I was reminded that, whether I am comfortable with it or not, the universe in each moment is exactly as it is meant to be.
I am not in the universe, the universe is in me.

Day 115 - Lesson 114
Review -
97 - I am spirit.
98 - I will accept my part in God's plan for salvation.
Deepak Chopra talks a lot about how we all operate in the awareness of whatever level of consciousness we happen to be on. He talks about the seven types of biological responses - and how the majority of us are at the Fight or Flight Response level.
I heard something today that really hurt my heart. I immediately felt like lashing out. I didn't. Then I felt like withdrawing. I didn't. Instead, for the next few hours I reflected on having observed my reactions. I reminded myself, over and over again, that I was making a choice about feeling hurt. I reminded myself that nothing is resolved where love is not present. I chose to replace the hurt in my heart with feelings of love. While, initially, this may seem difficult - and it did take me a few hours to get to this level of active awareness - as it turns out, it's really not that hard.

Day 114 - Lesson 113
Review -
95 - I am one Self, united with my Creator.
96 - Salvation come from my one Self.
These are good lessons for this day, which is both the Law of Pure Potentiality and Easter.
I began my day with a long meditation period. I focused on the soul questions and then spent the better part of two hours in and out of the gap. I enjoyed a morning of family time and preparing food for a family gathering in celebration of Easter. We had a delicious meal with family. And then, even though it was bitterly cold and windy, we focused on rejoicing in the sunshine and spent time walking in the beauty of our home.
It was a total blessing to abide by the steps suggested for applying the Law of Pure Potentiality. It is a blessing to know that I am united with my creator; that my salvation is secure.
