Laurie’s Positive Points: Have a fluid relationship with all foods
Laurie Prez, , Positive Points, Food is the one thing that changes for us- our appetites vary, Just be willing to gather information about how food makes us feel without judgement-this is the key- and then we can act from this place of knowing., Just the simply inquiry about food and then our minds are still open to the possibility of something else if we are open to seeing the activities in our minds., We need to be willing to sit with each food individually and notice how we feel about them., We need to have conversations continually with all the various foods we eat, 0

Miracles Lesson 136
Laurie Prez, , Laurie's Course In Miracles Workbook Reflections, Instead- our only option- is to simply suck it up an die dreadfully and pitifully since we have no other choice, The ego always says that sickness is an accident- a stroke of bad luck- which can't be denied or foregone because it is our fate, The ego likes to be dramatic and make the nightmare terrible so it doesn't try to intervene when we get sick, There is never any possibility that our bodies will die and fade away or that our body will not be functional enough for us to do exactly the tasks on earth that God wants us to do, 0
Lesson 136: “Sickness is a defense against truth.” This lessen says, “Sickness is not an accident. Like all defenses, it is an insane device for self-deception.” I am always thrilled to hear the Course’s rendition about how sickness comes about. The ego always says that sickness is an accident,...
Laurie’s Positive Points: Resisting the moment is the crux of what causes my despair and gloominess
Laurie Prez, , Positive Points, For me personally I always feel like God did not invite me to the party and I feel terrible about this like God abandoned me, I think for me resisting the moment is the crux of what causes me despair and heartache, like it may be hard to notice it when it comes because it may seem like a small upset, Resisting I believe is when we see life's picture including the dark shadow of judgement and insist that nothing is good as it is, This inner resistance can actually be a small thing, This is the only thing that we need to attend to and alter if we are off, We may put on a smile to the world- we may be acting as if things are fine., 0

Miracles Lesson 129
Laurie Prez, , Laurie's Course In Miracles Workbook Reflections, All the stating of the instructions of the world's being unreal are simply to help us be not so invested in the world, and the good things to be real so we enjoy them, The Course repeatedly says that both pleasant and unpleasant parts of the world are always around us so we need to allow the hard things to be unreal so we are not upset by them, This can feel awful and depressing that we have no enjoyable pars of the world to enjoy, You can't stop with the idea that the world is worthless for if you do not see anything else to be hoped for you will be depressed, 0
Lesson 129: “Beyond this world there is a world I want.” This lesson says, “You cannot stop with the idea that the world is worthless, for unless you see that there is something else to hope for, you will only be depressed.” I think this is the most...

ACIM Lesson 122
Laurie Prez, , Laurie's Course In Miracles Workbook Reflections, God is Supremely perfect and therefore we can trust implicitly that God's Will always comes through, God simply wants us to not forget that His is our best friend and Supreme Confidant Who went out of His way to let us know the depth of His Love for us, The ego likes to perpetuate more of itself and so the ego tries to dominate our minds and insists to us that we have no other choice in the matter, The most precious gift to us is when we remember actively that we are totally lovable and also permanently sinless because God decrees this for us as our salvations, The only problem we have is that we forget how much God loves us and then when we forget we end up acting out in behaviors that are unpleasant and filled with attack energy, The world is incredibly complicated and so we are apt to forget this truth about our true reality all the time, When we feel like God forgot about us then we act like idiots and have forgotten that we have a choice in the matter, 0
Lesson 122: “Forgiveness offers everything I want:” This lesson reminds us, ”Retain your gifts in clear awareness as you see the changeless in the heart of change; and the light of truth behind appearances.” It is the most precious gift to us when we remember actively that we...
Laurie’s Positive Points: Make the process holy!
Laurie Prez, , Positive Points, If we are grumpy about all the attempts we need to make to get to a clear alignment with God then we have strayed off the path more, It can feel like an exhausting process to continue to work to alter our energy and attitude to be aligned with God so it can feel overwhelming, It helps if we can be grounded within ourselves and show strong self respect, Remember the second that we see something that does not look as good as it is is entirely from lack, The more we come to life with our attitude that we are totally lovable and worthy of the best then energetically like attracts like so automatically we end up with more that we want, We bring our attitude of honoring our practices at our attempts of becoming bigger people and when we do we feel so much better, 0

ACIM Lesson 115
Laurie Prez, , Laurie's Course In Miracles Workbook Reflections, But we get to be actually empowered when we find out we are the responsible for the picture, For thus I am forgiven of them like the world too, God's Love that heals the world equals forgiveness because God wanted to give us something specifically that will work in the world since the world is so dark, My function here is to forgive the world for all the errors I have made, The Course reminds us that I should start with myself first and foremost whenever there is any forgiving to do in the world, The problem is that the ego blinds us so eloquently that we are the only actual problem in the picture and it is so easy to buy into the ego's delusion hook-line-and sinker, We always play a part in creating the picture no matter how much it looks like the other people are the only ones at fault, We can move immediately to forgiveness when we realize we are responsible and forgiveness makes everything right, We get to be empowered in the knowledge that because we are the problem it also means that we have the power to change the situation and our thinking, 0
Lesson 115: “Salvation is my only function here.” “My part is essential to God’s Plan for salvation.” This lesson eloquently reminds us, “My function here is to forgive the world for all the errors I have made. For thus am I released from them with all the world.” I...
