September 17, 2008 God is my refuge and security.

Yes I know that I missed another lesson. “Let me remember God created me.” I was busy and it is the same anyway so let’s move on.

The theme of this group of lessons is: “What Is the Body?” There isn’t one. There, that was easy. Wasn’t it?

I’m still laughing from my last post. I was busy and I couldn’t expound on it but I caught myself doing something and I was “struck” with this feeling of total absurdity. It is not even necessary for me to repeat my entire statement just that it began with, “There was a time when I would….”

When was that? Well I’m not really sure but I know that it happened before. I also know that I have used that before. I don’t know how many times but I could go back and read all of my posts and tell you how many times I have done this. That would be absurd also.

I was comparing myself before and after like a hair club for men commercial. I was spiritually ugly but now I am spiritually handsome! Can you see the absurd nature of a comment of that type? I am lucky that I stumbled onto this spiritual stuff because it has really transformed my life! I am getting so much better at it. Let me explain to you how. I’m cracking myself up. I also feel as though I should explain it to you further but that would be absurd also so let’s move on.

My friend seemed to have won the election. I’m not talking from an illusion point of view. He won by thirteen votes so there will be a recount. Can I assume what the final result will be? That would be absurd, also. Right? How should I know? How can I possibly know? Would it matter if I did? Would it change anything?

When the polls closed yesterday someone commented to me, “How do you think he will do?” I said, “I think it will be close!” Did I know something in advance? No, what else could I say? He said, “Now is when the nerves really take over!” Hmm. Really? Must be that waiting thing?

But he must know? You see, he has done this thing many times before. This is my first foray on the campaign trail. But I know differently. I can tell that he is just bringing the past into the future and feeling what he has been conditioned to feel. I know differently. Right? I am on this path that gives me vision. I can see the error of his ways. Right?

Being a nice guy I want to help him see. Right? Why should he have to suffer needlessly? What did I say? Nothing. I just smiled. What could I possibly say?

“If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it must be a duck. Right?”

“Right!”

“Wrong. There actually is no duck.”

“There has to be!”

“You just think there is a duck.”

“Come on!”

“No, really. We don’t have a millennium so I can’t explain the metaphysics behind this. You’ll just have to trust me. You see, I know! All these years you thought that there was a duck there but there is not. It’s an illusion. There, don’t you feel better?”

At the same time I am doing the lesson of the day/ yesterday:

Lesson 260:

[Father, I did not make myself, although in my insanity I thought I did. Yet, as Your Thought, I have not left my Source, remaining part of Who created me. Your Son, my Father, calls on You today. Let me remember You created me. Let me remember my Identity. And let my sinlessness arise again before Christ's vision, through which I would look upon my brothers and myself today.]

Now, I know that it is absurd to think that I can change him.

But:

Am I experiencing a transformation?

Can I change, me?

Can I make him a better person because I am?

What is it that I am experiencing?

Can I experiencing anything?

What outcome?

Lesson 261:

[Let me not seek for idols. I would come, my Father, home to You today. I choose to be as You created me, and find the Son whom You created as my Self.]

What if my friend actually does win? This was only the primary.

Love is coming,

Love is coming to us all.”
