Welcome to Active Meditation in Miracle52.
The power decision is my own.
No one can suffer loss unless it be their own decision.
No one suffers pain except their choice elects this state for them.
No one can grieve or fear nor think they are sick unless these are the outcomes that they want.
No one dies without their own consent.
Nothing occurs but represents your wish.
Nothing is omitted that you choose.
Here is your world,
Complete in all details.
Here is your whole reality.
It is only here salvation is.
You may believe that this position is extreme,
Too inclusive to be true.
Yet can truth have exceptions?
If you have the gift of everything,
Can loss be real?
Can pain be part of peace or grief?
Part of joy?
Can fear and sickness enter a mind where love and perfect holiness abide?
Truth must be all-inclusive if it be the truth at all.
Accept no opposites.
Recognize no exceptions.
For to do so is to contradict the truth entirely.
Salvation is the recognition that the truth is true and nothing else is true.
This you have heard before,
But you may not yet accept both parts.
Without the first part,
The second part has no meaning.
But without the second part,
The first part is no longer true.
Truth cannot have an opposite.
This cannot be too often said.
Truth cannot have an opposite.
This cannot be too often thought about.
For if what is not true is as true as what is true,
Then part of the truth is false and truth has lost its meaning.
Nothing but the truth is true and what is false is false.
This is the simplest of distinctions,
Yet the most obscure,
But not because it is a difficult distinction to perceive.
This distinction is concealed behind a vast array of choices that do not appear to be entirely your own.
Thus,
The truth appears to have some aspects that are not consistent.
The truth appears to have contradictions introduced by you.
As God created you,
You must remain unchangeable.
Transitory states,
By definition,
Must remain false.
Transitory states include all shifts in feeling,
All alterations in conditions of the body.
Transitory states include all modifications of the mind,
All changes in awareness,
And all responses.
This is the all-inclusiveness which sets the truth apart from falsehood.
This is the all-inclusiveness which keeps the false separate from the truth as what it is.
Is it not strange that you believe that to think you made the world you see is arrogance?
God has not made the world you see.
Of this you can be sure.
What can God know of the ephemeral,
The sinful,
And the guilty?
What can God know of the afraid,
The suffering,
And the lonely?
What can God know of the mind that lives within a body that must die?
You accuse God of insanity to think that God made a world where such things seem to have reality.
God is not mad,
Yet only madness makes a world like this.
To think that God made chaos contradicts God's will.
To think that God invented opposites to truth.
To think that God suffers death to triumph over life.
All this is arrogance.
Humility would see at once these things are not are not of God.
Can you see what God did not create?
To think you can is merely to believe you can perceive what God willed not to be.
What could be more arrogant than this?
So say to yourself,
Say in your mind,
The power of decision is my own.
Think about this.
Let us today be truly humble.
Let us today accept what we have made for what it is.
The power of decision is our own.
Decide today to accept your rightful place as a co-creator of the universe,
And all you think you made will disappear.
Then what rises to awareness will be all that there ever was,
Eternally as it is now.
This awareness will take the place of self-deceptions made but to usurp the altar to God and the child.
Today we practice true humility,
Abandoning the false pretense by which the ego seeks to prove this awareness arrogant.
Only the ego can be arrogant.
The truth is humble in acknowledging its mightiness.
The truth is humble in acknowledging its changelessness and its eternal wholeness.
The truth is all-encompassing,
God's perfect gift to the beloved child.
We lay aside the arrogance that says we are sinners.
We lay aside the arrogance which says we are guilty and afraid.
We lay aside the arrogance that says we are ashamed of what we are.
Today we lift our hearts in true humility instead to God who has created us immaculate,
Like to himself,
In power and in love.
The power of decision is our own and we accept of God that which we are and humbly recognize the child of God,
Our higher self.
To recognize our higher self implies as well that all self-concepts have been laid aside,
That all self-concepts have been recognized as false.
The arrogance of our self-concepts has been perceived in humility,
The radiance of God's child,
Our higher self,
Our gentleness,
Our perfect sinlessness,
And our love.
The right to heaven,
The release from hell are all joyously accepted as our own.
Now do we join in glad acknowledgment that lies are false.
We recognize that only truth is true.
We think of truth alone,
Spending a few minutes practicing the ways of truth,
Encouraging our frightened minds.
Now say to yourself,
Repeat after me,
The power of decision is my own.
This day I will accept myself as what God's will created me to be.
We wait in silence,
Giving up all self-deception.
We humbly ask that our higher self be revealed to us.
Our higher self,
Who never left,
Will come again into our awareness,
Grateful to restore our home to God as it was meant to be.
The power of decision is my own.
This day I will accept myself as what God's will created me to be.
I'll be quiet while we wait in silence for our higher self,
For God.
God will substitute peace for all your frantic thoughts.
God will substitute truth for self-deceptions.
God will substitute your higher self for the illusions of your ego.
In patience,
We wait for God throughout the day.
Powerly,
Invite God into your life.
With the words which the day began,
The power of decision is my own.
The power of decision is my own.
This day I will accept myself as what God's will created me to be.
Concluding the day with this same invitation to your higher self,
The power of decision is my own.
This day I will accept myself as what my higher self created me to be.
God's voice will answer,
For your higher self speaks for God.
The power of decision is my own.
This day I will accept myself as what God's will created me to be.
The power of decision is my own.
This day I will accept myself as what God's will created me to be.
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.
