365 Days of Love and Miracles with Arlene Geres

"I choose the joy of God instead of pain.."Pain is a wrong perspective. When it is experienced in any form, it is a proof of self-deception....It is your thoughts alone that cause you pain. Nothing external to your mind can hurt or injure you in any way...

My holy brother, think of this awhile: The world you see does nothing. It has no effects at all. It merely represents your thoughts. And it will change entirely as you elect to change your mind, and choose the joy of God as what you really want. Your Self is radiant in this holy joy, unchanged, unchanging and unchangeable, forever and forever.

...Lay down your arms, and come without defence into the quiet place where Heaven's peace holds all things still at last. Lay down all thoughts of danger and of fear. Let no attack enter with you. Lay down the cruel sword of judgment that you hold against your throat, and put aside the withering assaults with which you seek to hide your holiness....

And so again we make the only choice that ever can be made; we choose between illusions and the truth, or pain and joy, or hell and Heaven. Let our gratitude unto our Teacher fill our hearts as we are free to choose our joy instead of pain, our holiness in place of sin, the peace of God instead of conflict, and the light of Heaven for the darkness of the world." (W190)

"I feel the love of God within me now....To feel the Love of God within you is to see the world anew, shining in innocence, alive with hope, and blessed with perfect charity and love....And in our quiet hearts and open minds, His Love will blaze its pathway of itself....God knows His Son, and knows the way to him. Through every opened door Hs Loves shines outward from its home within and lightens up the world in innocence.
"Father, we do now know the way to You. But we have called, and You have answered us. We will not interfere. Salvation's ways are not our own, for they belong to You. And it is unto You we look for them. Our hands are open to receive Your gifts. We have no thoughts we think apart from You, and cherish no beliefs of what we are, or Who created us. Yours is the way that we would find and follow. And we ask but that Your Will, which is our own as well, be done in us and in the world, that it become a part of Heaven now. Amen."" (W189)

"The peace of God is shining in me now....The peace of God is shining in you now, and from your heart extends around the world. It pauses to caress each living thing, and leaves a blessing with it that remains forever and forever. What it gives must be eternal. It removes all thoughts of the ephemeral and valueless. It brings renewal to all tired hearts, and lights all vision as it passes by. All of its gifts are given everyone, and everyone unites in giving thanks to you who give, and you who have received....
To you, the giver of the gift, does God Himself give thanks. And in His blessing does the light in you shine brighter, adding to the gifts you have to offer to the world...
And we lay our saving blessing on it, as we say:
"The peace of God is shining in me now.
Let all things shine upon me in that peace,
And let me bless them with the light in me." (W188)

"Salvation of the world depends on me...Today's idea may seem quite sobering, until you see its meaning. All it says is that your Father still remembers you, and offers you the perfect trust He holds in you who are His Son. It does not ask that you be different in any way from what you are. ...All false humility we lay aside today, that we may listen to God's Voice reveal to us what He would have us do. ...We will be certain only that He knows our strengths, our wisdom and our holiness. And if He deems us worthy, so we are....Salvation of the world depends on you who can forgive. Such is your function." (W186)

"I bless the world because I bless myself....The truth maintains that giving will increase what you possess...Ideas must first belong to you, before you give them. If you are to save the world, you first accept salvation for yourself....Give gladly. You can only gain thereby....Never forget you give but to yourself...Your blessing lies on everyone who suffers, when you choose to see all suffering as what it is.....Never believe that you can sacrifice. There is no place for sacrifice in what has any value....No form of sacrifice and suffering can long endure before the face of one who has forgiven and has blessed himself.

The lilies that your brother offers you are laid upon your altar, with the ones you offer him beside them. Who could fear to look upon such lovely holiness? ..The blessedness you will behold will take away all thought of form, and leave instead the perfect gift forever there, forever to increase, forever yours, forever given away....And as we look with we see the purity of Heaven shine in our reflection of our Father's Love...Now we are blessed, and now we bless the world."

"I want the peace of God....To mean you want the peace of God is to renounce all dreams...The mind which means that all it wants is peace must join with other minds, for that is how peace is obtained. And when the wish for peace is genuine, the means for finding it is given, in a form each mind that seeks for it in honesty can understand...Let us today devote our practicing to recognizing that we really mean the words we say. We want the peace of God....Today devote your practice periods to careful searching of your mind, to find the dreams you cherish still. What do you ask for in your heart? Forget the words you use in making your requests. Consider but what you believe will comfort you, and bring you happiness.... And being one, one question should be asked of all of them, "Is this what I would have, in place of Heaven and the peace of God?"...No compromise is possible in this. You choose God's peace, or you have asked for dreams...No one who truly seeks the peace of God can fail to find it...For you was peace created, given you by its Creator, and established as His Own eternal gift. How can you fail, when you but ask for what He wills for You? And how could your request be limited to you alone? No gift of God can be unshared. It is this attribute that sets the gifts of God apart from every dream that ever seemed to take the place of truth....It is this one intent we seek today, uniting our desires with the need of every heart, the call of every mind the hope that lies beyond despair, the love attack would hide, the brotherhood that have has sought to sever, but which still remains as God created it. With Help like this beside us, can we fail today as we request the peace of God be given us?" (W185)

"The name of God is my inheritance....Thus what you need are intervals each day in which the learning of the world becomes a transitory phase; a prison house from which you go into the sunlight and forget the darkness. Here you understand the Word, the Name which God has given you; the one Identity which all things share; the one acknowledgment of what is true....Use all the little names and symbols which delineate the world of darkness. Yet accept them not as your reality....God has no name. And yet His Name becomes the final lesson that all things are one, and at this lesson does all learning end...
"Father, our Name is Yours. In It we are united with all living things, and You Who are their one Creator. What we made and call by many different names is but a shadow we have tried to cast across Your Own reality. And we are glad and thankful we were wrong. All our mistakes we give to You, that we may be absolved from all effects our errors seemed to have. And we accept the truth You give, in place of every one of them. Your Name is our salvation and escape from what we made. Your Name unites us in the oneness which is our inheritance and peace. Amen."" (W184)

"I will be still an instant and go home..."...there is a Child in you Who seeks His Father's house, and knows that He is alien here. This childhood is eternal, with an innocence that will endure forever. Where this Child shall go is holy ground. It is His Holiness that lights up Heaven, and that brings to earth the pure reflection of the light above, wherein are earth and Heaven joined as one.

It is this Child in you your Father knows as His Own Son. It is this Child Who knows His Father. He desires to go home so deeply, so unceasingly....This Child needs your protection...This Child is your defencelessness; your strength. He trusts in you....

When you are still an instant, when the world recedes from you, when valueless ideas cease to have value in your restless mind, then will you hear His Voice. ...He will take you to His home, and you will stay with Him in perfect stillness, silent and at peace, beyond all words, untouched by fear and doubt, sublimely certain that you are at home." (W182)

"I trust my brothers, who are one with me....Trusting your brothers is essential to establishing and holding up your faith in your ability to transcend doubt and lack of sure conviction in yourself. When you attack a brother, you proclaim that he is limited by what you have perceived in him. You do not look beyond his errors. Rather, they are magnified, becoming blocks to your awareness of the Self That lies beyond your own mistakes, and past his seeming sins as well as yours....Remove your focus on your brother's sins, and you experience the peace that comes from faith in sinlessness....And as our focus goes beyond mistakes, we will behold a wholly sinless world. When seeing this is all we want to see, when this is all we seek for in the name of true perception, are the eyes of Christ inevitably ours. And the Love He feels for us becomes our own as well. This will become the only thing we see reflected in the world and in ourselves. (W181)

"God is but Love and therefore, so am I."
169) "By grace I love. By grace I am released."
"God is but Love and therefore, so am I."
170) "There is no cruelty in God and none in me."
"God is but Love and therefore, so am I." (W180)

With this we start each day of our review. With this we start and end each period of practice time. And with this thought we sleep, to waken once again with these same words upon our lips, to greet another day. No thought that we review but we surround with it, and use the thoughts to hold it up before our minds, and keep it clear in our remembrance throughout the day. And thus, when we have finished this review, we will have recognized the words we speak are true.

Yet are the words but aids, and to be used, except at the beginning and the end of practice periods, but to recall the mind, as needed, to its purpose. we place faith in the experience that comes from practice, not the means we use. We wait for the experience, and recognize that it is only here conviction lies. We use the words, and try and try again to go beyond them to their meaning, which is far beyond their sound. The sound grows dim and disappears, as we approach the Source of meaning. It is Here that we find rest."  (Review V Intro. para.  12 and 13)
