I made it to Lesson 42 and I am glad I did. I find the teachings in this lesson very profound. Does anyone else? I am working with the idea that my daydreams and fantasies keep me from being in contact with God. And, as this lessons ends, "And isn’t this the purpose of life? To come into contact with God?"
I am seeing how difficult for me to let go of the daydreams I indulge in each day, even though many of those daydreams are not pleasant ones. Through the awareness exercises I have been learning here, I am able to see how my mind is constantly filled-up. That's the point, isn't it? My mind is filled instead of empty, filled with thoughts, images, daydreams, fantasies. Thoughts are telling me stories all the time. I profess to want to let of who I am not, but now I see how attached I am to my daydreams and ideas. The positive thing in all this is that I DO see it. This is an awareness I never had before coming to this school. And as the angels tell us, "what you are not aware of controls you." So I will do the homework this lesson advises. And hopefully I will stop back in the classroom to add further thoughts about my spiritual work.
By the way, Welcome to the new students. This is an amazing school--when you show up and do the work, inner transformation happens.
Thanks Kevin for your post,

Dear Kevin and Ursula,
ReplyDeletehi - I am a new student and I thank you very much for your words of welcome. Like in a real school room, it is nice to be picked up and it makes it easier to say something, too.
So - I have read lesson 1.
You are at 42 - that is great.
Besides the numbers, Kevin, what you said is what I have been noticing too. Over the last year I have been able to just drop the daydreams and stories in my head more often. a lot of times I think "just now" and focus on my breathing or on what I hear.
Other times, the daydreams and thinking-stories steal away very much of my time. Of being me, I think.
I wish you, me, everyone patience with ourselves. so that we may lovingly be aware of these moments. I feel, as soon as I am, they dissolve. Even if I can`t stop right then, it is different.
I am glad to be here now.
Dare I tell? Yes: some time after reading my lesson... what stays with me also is... as if there is angelic music above me at a frequence my ears don`t hear but my heart does. So beautiful. And happiness arises.
I wish I could share that.
Bye for now,
Petra
Lesson 42,
ReplyDeleteit got me too now. "Imagine ... never ever be influenced by negative people or negative thoughts again." This brings tears of -I guess: relief - in my eyes. Thank the angels and our translater Judy.
Yes, Ursula, it is hard work. For years I thought I could attain "spiritual enlightenment" the easy way -- maybe by magic or something (smile). Experience, time, and the angels taught me that I have to want spiritual understanding enough to truly show up and do the work.
ReplyDeleteThe main work is constant awareness.
Thank you Ursula for the beautiful gift to the Huntington. I was so surprised. You are very generous.
Welcome to Your Open Classroom, Petra. I like what you say about hearing the "angel music." And it is also my experience...there is another frequency that the ears cannot hear. The angels always say their words are meant for the heart. Sounds like they touched your heart!
ReplyDeleteHi Monika, if the angelic words are bringing tears to your eyes, it is because you are open and receptive. The angels always say that receptivity is the most important quality we can have...because then words of Truth can be received.
ReplyDeleteHi Kevin and thanks for your long post. Yes, I am a bit amazed also that we are now on Lesson 42. It is exciting because with each lesson, there is still more to receive. We must become aware of every daydream, every negative thought, every false belief that limits and controls us. Awareness dissolves everything we are not. This is a process that takes time and patience. Impatience is a tool of darkness. Patience is a tool of light.
