This is it. The work begins. A Course of Miracles prayer goes something like where would You have me go; what would You have me do; what would You have me say and to who. This chapter asks that we start where we are, with what we have and who is there. It is not the what so much as the intention with which we do/ be. Our work is to intent to love without expectation and to let go of any attachment to the outcome.
Well doesn’t that clear up why I am where I am and how I got here. It gives rhyme to reason and a clean slate to live life aware of the truth that what I intent on my most inner thought level will appear before me in my outer vision. It enforces the truth that nothing of this world is permanent and our attempts to build the foundations on sand have the obvious outcome.
It is not easy for me to admit to some of my inner thoughts. I don’t like some of my inner thinking. I have lived with the belief that if I just give the world my rose colored thoughts that they will cover up and keep the not so rosy hidden. Well, how has that worked for me? The hidden are not hidden… they seep out and do the damage that I think they would do. A relationship is ended not because it didn’t have the positive intentions but because the negative intents were disregarded and allowed to seep into the air and because they weren’t spoken, talked out, torn apart and digested thoroughly they crucified the form of the relationship that could have healed them. So the healing had to take place in a different way. Intentions will be dealt with one way or another until they are love in the now. Our greatest fears will be brought into the light either by choice or because they can not remain hidden. This is our work to heal and heal we will, our only choice is do we ask for His help now or later and do we follow through.
