lesson 33 & 34.

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

 

 

 

Lesson 33.

 

Seen without loves understanding

twilight comes early each day.

The horizon shrinks in fear

The viewpoint of Love

does not focus on what transpires

only the haggard mask of appearance.

 

Step from the cloud-bank

you have hidden within.

The big sky of your heart

is the vision of heaven in this moment.

There is another way of seeing,

it is through this love.

 

I have been reading your hands,

our revelation is in them.

I have been reading my palms for you also.

Now you can walk out of the door

I have opened in our recognition,

into the heart of this moment.

 

Every line in the universe

comes to form a spiral in my flesh.

To be a fingerprint

of love etched into the body.

Look at the way the circles lead inwards,

they never end,

every pattern heads right for infinity.

This hand is empty of everything but love,

and the way that love moves in me.

 

Come appear in my open hand,

come appear in yours,

as an open image of our beautiful being.

Be like a moonbeam

in the scripture of this worlds skin.

Untouched by any body but loves.

 

Come find yourself in Loves vision.

I shall look into you,

to reveal yourself.

The marks of Grace are laid within us,

and I shall stand within this, your ovation.

Lesson 35.

 

The crafting mind,

is an image we invent

from a separating anxiety.

A pastime for not being present.

The images of you and I,

cannot see the infinite Mind

of you and me.

 

Love forgives all sacred cows.

When love is the view,

the limitless sky of your mind,

contains no idols of God.

First empty the cup that God must drink from,

and become the thirst of holiness.

 

Persevere to imitate nothing in this world,

for why would you want to copy the unintelligible?

Be inspired to emulate the images of love only.

Remember,

what you love into being, becomes you.

God bears a child of an Idea into the world,

like a new babe

in the Bethlehem of your understanding.

 

Do not be a disciple

when your own Christ mind awaits your mastery.

It is our nature to create.

We bring forth into the seen

what we create in the unseen.

Love is expressed by such miracles.

 

Sunshine and rain

have made a fine garden of existence

in this world,

yet each moment, return to lay flowers

in the chamber of immortality

like a faithful lover.

Open your mind to this whole gift.

 

love
