Grace is the Son of God unedited by thought. Every thought that is not of God is an attempt to redefine what God has made. Spirit keeps saying go naked without a thought. Go abstract. In the undefined abstract grace arises.
W-189.6. Today we pass illusions, as we seek to reach to what is true in us, and feel its all-embracing tenderness, its Love which knows us perfect as itself, its sight which is the gift its Love bestows on us. 2 We learn the way today. 3 It is as sure as Love itself, to which it carries us. 4 For its simplicity avoids the snares the foolish convolutions of the world’s apparent reasoning but serve to hide.
W-189.7. Simply do this: Be still, and lay aside all thoughts of what you are and what God is; all concepts you have learned about the world; all images you hold about yourself. 2 Empty your mind of everything it thinks is either true or false, or good or bad, of every thought it judges worthy, and all the ideas of which it is ashamed. 3 Hold onto nothing. 4 Do not bring with you one thought the past has taught, nor one belief you ever learned before from anything. 5 Forget this world, forget this course, and come with wholly empty hands unto your God.
The joyous experience of grace arises when all ideas about what the Son of God is are set aside. Opening to Grace is to join with Spirit in the everlasting Song of Creation. It is an offering of full communication with God. Heaven rejoices with the Son.
I’ve noticed lately that even in the experience of grace the mind has a habit of wanting to describe the experience. Who can describe the indescribable? Yet the habit of the mind is to describe-to attempted to describe what is beyond words. I hadn’t realized how this description of experience is a fear of direct experience of the love of God that is ever present. How simple things could be only by resting in this grace that is so freely given and always available. I feel the mind wanting to go out to the next thought for some answer, some next idea, something else. To defend the feeling of separation with thought. Even the question “Is this true, can this be it, can love and happiness be so easily found?” can cloud the moment. Thought that the little I needs to do something beyond the experience of grace and resting in grace in this moment.
In addition to lesson 189 a very helpful meditation to let go of all thoughts can be found here (Mooji’s natural noticing meditation).
I love you, Grace. Effortless. Sheer joy is in this that is given in this precious moment. Thank you God. Happiness and joy for no reason whatsoever other than in gratitude and openness to what is.
With love and gratitude,
Cay
