Welcome friend.
This meditation is based on lesson 69 in the Course in Miracles and it's called My Grievances Hide the Light of the World in Me.
Take a moment to arrive.
Turn your attention inwards.
Notice your body,
Your hands,
Your feet.
Notice the support of the seat below you.
And for a moment,
Allow yourself to bring forth any grievances that you may have.
Any judgments,
Complaints against others or yourself.
This could be from many years ago.
It could be from this morning.
These energies are allowed here.
And see this collective negative energy in your mind as a vast dark cloud standing before you.
This cloud is heavy and dense and it covers the entire inner vision of your mind.
It obstructs your light.
It keeps you from seeing the beauty of life unfolding in every new now moment.
See how this heaviness,
This darkness is all encompassing.
From this place from where you stand,
You see no reason to believe there is a brilliant light hidden by the clouds.
With this view,
The clouds seem to be the only reality.
Therefore,
You do not attempt to walk through them and past them which is the only way in which you would really be convinced of their lack of substance.
We will make this attempt today.
In your mind,
Take a step forward.
Reach out and touch the clouds before you.
Continuing to walk forward,
Brush them aside with your hand.
See,
Feel how they move with your manipulation.
Feel them resting on your cheeks and forehead and eyelids as you go through them.
Go on.
Clouds cannot stop you.
Look around you.
What do you see?
What's in these clouds?
What experiences?
What hurt are you still holding on to?
What pain is still present that you haven't been able to forgive?
Look around you.
It's obvious to see that our grievances,
Our judgments that we're still holding onto do not serve us.
They're not helping us.
They're hiding the light of our true selves,
Of our highest self.
The light that we were born with from the world.
Hiding this light from ourselves.
Together we make the commitment right now to peace,
To love,
To light.
Continue walking forward into the clouds and see before you a small but beautiful ball of radiant white light shining and shimmering as it glows.
This light is so powerful but we have to give a permission to grow and to shine.
With your focused awareness,
See this light expand and as it grows,
See the clouds around it begin to dissipate,
Begin to simply fade into nothingness.
Where the clouds were never real to begin with.
Only the love that was given and the love that was received in your past and in the present is real.
Everything else is an illusion.
May we not cherish illusions today.
Feel the power of this light.
Watch it as it covers the entire inner vision of your mind.
Radiating through your body.
It can't be contained.
Permeating every cell,
Every meridian,
Every organ,
Every tissue,
Every nerve is doused by this healing radiant white light.
Feel how good it feels to remember who you really are and what you really are.
Knowing that we get to make this decision every day,
Every moment,
In every now moment we get to decide to cherish light or to cherish illusions.
Let us not forget who we are.
Let us not forget our power,
Our authentic power.
In this you cannot fail because your will is the will of the divine.
Your little effort and small determination call on the power of the universe to help you.
In spirit your angels will raise you from darkness into light.
You are in accordance with the will of life.
Breathe in this space,
Breathe in this nourishing healing energy.
Anchor this into your awareness.
Anchor this into your mind.
And as you go about your day,
This is how we course correct.
This is what we come back to when we feel the pull of judgment,
Blaming,
Complaining.
When we feel the lower vibrations of the world begin to dominate our awareness.
A Course in Miracles says that the ego speaks first and the ego speaks loudest.
But we don't have to listen to the mind today.
We don't have to listen to that inner voice,
To the incessant mind chatter.
We don't have to listen to the ego.
We get to choose in every new moment who we are,
From what place we are living,
From what place we respond.
We get to choose peace,
To choose love,
To choose light.
It's only the ego that would convince you that that is the harder path.
Because really that's the only path of your true self.
Peace is the only path that shows us the happiness that already lives inside of us.
Happiness is not something that you gain externally.
It's not something that you learn.
It's something that you remember,
That you realize you've had within you this whole time.
Who you really are,
Your true self,
Your highest self,
The truest expression of you is happiness.
Today we remember that we are peace,
We are love,
We are kindness,
We are perfection.
It's our birthright.
This is simply a fact of who you are because you are of spirit,
You are of God.
The Course in Miracles says the only difference between you and God is that God created you and you did not create God.
Just remember this today,
That we can choose to see things differently.
Peace,
Friend.
