Repetition!!!!

Repetition is key in mind training programs such as A Course in Miracles and the 12 Step Program. We are so used to our old way of thinking that by the time we hit our bottom a new thought is more than welcome. A Course in Miracles reminds us that through repetition the lesson will be learned without any "analyzation" on our part. What a relief to us addicts and alcoholics who are so used to relying only on our ability to solve a problem. Now we are given an idea and the solving is done for us, the only requirement is that we be willing to apply it.

The recognition that by applying ideas that are given us directly to the ability to let go is the bases of forgiveness and our freedom. Without forgiveness there is no way we can experience the joy of being recovered and being free. Both A Course in Miracles and the 12 Step Program give us tools to be released from our addiction to our bodies, our old ideas, and death, through a spiritual experience. Through repetition we might come to realize a whole new idea or even blast out into a heaven we had not even thought possible.

Who knows? But the only way to find out is to do it. We welcome you to experiment this month with Repetition!!!

I have seen a direct correlation between the effects of my practice and attitude of forgiveness and the lines of life that were etched, but are now lifted off my face.

You can't hear it until you hear it!
Image In part II, Section #1, of the Workbook Lessons of A Course in Miracles, "What is Forgiveness?," Jesus clearly states, "An unforgiving thought is one which makes a judgment that it will not raise to doubt, although it is not true.  The mind is closed and will not be released. ... [The unforgiving thought] protects projection, tightening its chains, so that distortions are more veiled and more obscure; less easily accessible to doubt and further kept from reason."  More clearly stated...

What is Forgiveness?
ImageForgiveness recognizes what you thought your brother did to you has not occurred.  It does not pardon sins and make them real.  It sees there was no sin.  And in that view are all your sins forgiven.  What is sin, except a false idea about God's Son?  Forgiveness merely sees its falsity, and therefore lets it go.  What then is free to take its place is now the Will of God.
