Laurie’s Positive Points: Get- immediately- out of the way- make sure our own agenda is not part of the picture. How do we plan? Crazy when also doing the Course. The Course says, “Don’t plan.” But how do we live in the world, and function there when as...

Laurie’s Positive Points: My holiness is my salvation
Laurie Prez, , Positive Points, because whatever I see is not a problem when I come to the moment of looking with that energy of realizing I am innocent, I can instead sit and check it out- just sit and relax, I just need to claim my innocence and all the problems of the ego disappear, My holiness is my salvation, That moment when I bought into the separation and thought I had done something wrong was the moment I started to make my guilt real, The Course reminds us that all problems we thought we had completely disappear- this means they are erased and put out of even distant memory, When I believe that God declared my innocence means that I don't have to do anything to fix the world, When the problems have disintegrated then my innocence is so much easier to believe, 0
My holiness is my salvation: I was just reading yesterday’s lesson, and meditating on the message. I marvel at how easy it is. I just need to claim my innocence and then all the problems of the ego disappear. It is so simple. Just allow this reminder and this...
Laurie’s Positive Points: The Miracle is palpable
Laurie Prez, , Positive Points, God never wanted us to feel lost and alone while we are humans on earth, He wanted us to be able to find our way back to Him the moment we thought we had separated from Him- in our minds, Remember the world becomes manifested physically the moment we have a thought about it- so the miracle becomes reality, The miracle is palpable, This is why God set up the world in this way - that allows us to experience our minds in the world- in form- while we are here, We have so much power because of the way energy gets projected into the world and then becomes visible- We can feel it with our hands as well as experience it energetically, We have so much power!!, 0
Laurie’s Positive Points The Miracle is Palpable: Remember that the world becomes manifested physically the moment we feel it, so the miracle becomes real in the world while we feel it internally. We have so much power!! We have so much power, because of the way that energy gets...
ACIM Lesson 31
Laurie Prez, , Laurie's Course In Miracles Workbook Reflections, Juet surrender that small amount of investment in the world to get to peace and no resistance to the world, Just don't try to FIX anything- this is the ego's sole story, Just take a back seat in the Present without having investment in the picture is the true way to live well, The Course always has the answer- we just need to take it in, The Course says that God gives us the gift of serenity when we just allow everything to be perfect as it is, The key to our diminished investment in the world is to remember to apply this concept strictly and regulary, We just need that little bit of willingness to get out of the way, When we are willing to be in the moment- and then we can just surrender our judgement of the picture then all is well, 0
Lesson 31: “I am not a victim of the world I see.” This lesson so eloquently teaches us, “Do not dwell on any one in particular, but try to let a stream move evenly and calmly, without any special investment on your part.” This one instruction would allow...
Laurie’s Positive Points: There is nothing to do but enjoy the ride!
Laurie Prez, , Positive Points, But just realize that the ego is not our evil twin- trying to force us into something unpleasant, Just be willing to see the static and let it go, That static is the vibration of resistance, The ego is always trying to mislead us and tells us that the ego will be the best choice and so we buy into the ego's lies, The ego is not cruel by nature- but rathe simply an uncorrected child, The ego likes to clutch- with a ferocity- onto the picture so the ego will go to extraordinary lengths to simply keep the picture the same, We just need ti be kind and gentle with the ego and give it support- in moments of crazed attitude and action, We just need to have compassion for the ego, When we resist the moment with our attachment about how we think we want the world to look then we are slowed in the moment, 0
There is nothing to do but enjoy the ride! When we resist the moment with our attachment about how we think we want to have the world look, then we are slowed and stagnated in the moment. This is when we get static along the way. That static is...
ACIM Lesson 24
Laurie Prez, , Laurie's Course In Miracles Workbook Reflections, God knows everything because He is perfect and thus we need to stop trying to pretend we can do better than God does, Just know that the demand energy is simply the ego's full blown state of agitation and judgements galore, Only God has a perfect plan and we just have to sit in wonder because God is capable of running our lives for the best and making magical lives for all of us, Our egos are arrogant- TO THE MAX- and they tell us subconsciously that the ego's can plan our lives perfectly but this is a grave error, The ego also makes all of this demand energy on everything in life, We are limited as humans by our nature and our senses while God is perfect, We have no idea how God's Universe works and we just need to sit and come to terms with our limitation, We need to get out of our roles as judgement maker- we have no idea what the plan is supposed to be, When we recognize we are being energetically- or in some way- demanding stop and pay attention!, 0
Lesson 24: “I do not perceive my own best interests.” This lesson reminds us, “If these lessons are done properly, you will quickly recognize that you are making a huge number of demands of the situation which have nothing to do with it.” We need to get out of...
Laurie’s Positive Points: Give ourselves the gift of gratitude for maintaining our health
Laurie Prez, , Positive Points, Give ourselves the gift of gratitude for maintaining our lives and our health, Just appreciate that everyone has to deal with their bodies and their own needs, Just appreciate that it is a lot to take care of our health while we cook for ourselves and exercise regularly and do our job, Just know that this kind of old baggage can shift dramatically if we are continually open to changing things ad give this part of ourselves space to heal, Sometimes we find individually that one thing or another may feel like an even greater chore than it could be because we have a long history of a painful dynamic with one part of our lives, The majority of the challenges people have emotionally and physically are not visible to the eye so we miss them, We all are in unique relationships with our bodies, We all have unique relationships with our healthcare, 0
Laurie’s Positive Points: Give ourselves the gift of gratitude for maintaining our lives, especially our health. We all have unique relationships with our health and healthcare. Some of us run to our doctor’s appointments- with enthusiasm and with regularity, and others of us may not even have their own...
ACIM Lesson 17
Laurie Prez, , Laurie's Course In Miracles Workbook Reflections, I have all these thoughts which are undoubtedly filled with attack energy and intention all the time, I see no neutral things because I have no neutral thoughts is from the Course a huge realization, Just get out of the way and don't buy into the insanity, Rather take the empowering step of taking action to choose other thoughts within and get out of the way again, The ego always says and feels that someone else did it if there is any amount of upset in the world, The ego instantaneously starts to blame everyone else when we get upset because the ego knows this will keep us in the insanity game and we feel victimized, Therefore it is a phenomenally huge deal to realize that the world is in fact simply our own thoughts projected outward, 0
Lesson 17: I see no neutral things. This lesson reminds us, “You see no neutral things because you have no neutral thoughts.” This is such an eye opener if I have ever heard one. The reality the Course is teaching us about the world is remarkable! I have all...
Laurie’s Positive Points: The miracle is that there is no time like the present!
Laurie Prez, , Positive Points, Choosing God is all we need to make our lives amazing, Especially choosing our thoughts- which can feel like a monumental project- as the ego says it is too much, Giggle if necessary to change our tune but do something to get above the battleground, Just allow everything to be effortless, The ego's song is one of hopelessness- through and through, Then get right up and do something different, This means that all of our lives can be fun and easy with a simple and small amount of light-hearted ness, too long, too rapidly to accomplish whatever needs to be done, We get to be engaged- this instant- if we so choose!, When it sounds like a desperate cry realize this is the ego, When we choose God then the ego stops being bound within and persistent, 0
The miracle is that there is no time like the present: We get to be engaged- in this instant, if we so choose! This means specifically that all of our lives can be fun and easy, with a simple, small bit of light-heartedness. Just allow everything to be...
