Lesson 19 & 20.

[Guest guest]

Contemplation's on the workbook lessons of A Course In Miracles.

 

Lesson 19.

 

Awake or asleep

we create the world we are seeing.

Nothing manifests unless seen.

Life creates its environment.

Its a shared consciousness - Being.

 

The effects of vision

are the cause of sight.

Awake or asleep,

the mind seeks its reality.

The message is always the same -

It takes one to save the world.

 

One who awakens to this completely,

becomes an open secret

Each morning the sun rises

on a different vision of the world.

A new version arrives

with the sunrise of thought.

There are no private thoughts.

 

You have kept a secret from the Beloved

and it is time to own up.

To give up the one thing that holds you

rooted like a dead tree to a rock.

Your fearful seclusion.

 

You have held back,

and hidden

Her longing for you

in your longing for Her,

and this subterfuge

has begun to unwind and fall apart

like an ancient scarecrows coat.

 

Her toes have begun to dance in your feet,

and your whole form

is stitched precariously to an empty loom.

You have kept a secret from yourself,

and it is time to roll up the prayer mat

and end this pilgrimage of dreams.

The secret of Her Love is you.

You are become what you always were.

 

Abdicate from this lovers alliance.

There is only One Love going on here,

and your secret is out,

it sings as a rainbow of existence,

an arch of union

to this disclosing Love,

and meets as One.

Lesson 20.

 

De-structure all concepts

and shape love in their place.

Engendering vision is Loves Creation.

An expression of seeing,

not a still birth in a city of belief.

Uncover the lens of your secret mind

and unveil the heart within its light.

 

Convince the world with enlightenment,

and that conviction will enhance the earth.

Reality is not something for the mind to seek,

but for the heart to remember.

 

Sometimes we find the sweet drink.

Sometimes we make it sour,

with too much secrecy

and no spaciousness in the appearance

 

All mind stuff is architecture.

Can you now make a form of love?

Can this structure be empty enough

to be filled?

Let love show you Her way.

You are Her part in this love story

written before we dreamed

of meetings and partings,

in the buildings of separation.

 

love
