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.
