Day 39: Leaving the Desert, Leaving Your Comfort Zone Have you written your vision? Did you make it specific? Did you make time to be quiet to listen to what God is saying to you? One suggestion: please look at your vision again and see if there is language in there that is future (like "I will" or "I want") and if there is, change it to present-tense - I AM. Time is not sequential and whatever you imagine yourself doing "later" is actually happening now. There is no need to wait. Active faith is knowing that all things have already been accomplished in the Mind of God which is your mind, and that whatever Divine Ideas come to you... are actually happening now! Your Vision is God speaking to you, just the way God spoke to Moses in the burning bush. Don't try to figure out what you want (or need), just have the willingness to be quiet and listen and let the yourself be shown. God's Voice will speak to you and it's always a good surprise. Just listen to your heart. Here is a fascinating fact: Deepak Chopra, a doctor, says that there are more thinking cells in your heart than in your brain. Did you know that?? Which makes the sentence "as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he" make so much more sense!! THINK WITH YOUR HEART... Listen.
I am inspired by Osho: They say: Think twice before you jump. I say: Jump first and then think as much as you want! Osho
Today, JUMP. Take an Action. Do Something. Don t think about it. Don't wait. Just do it. BE the change you want to see in the world. BE as God created you. YOU ARE WHOLE AND PERFECT AS GOD CREATED YOU. YOU ARE HIS SON ETERNALLY. I asked you to write a Vision, I did NOT ask you to make plans. I did not ask you to sit around thinking about it, wondering when it is going to happen. The Vision you have written is God s Instructions to you. Now walk in it. A healed mind does not plan. -A Course in Miracles
A healed mind carries out the plans that it receives through listening to wisdom that is not its own. I did not ask you to figure out how this Vision will unfold. I simply asked for you to take time to access the part of your mind where ALL THINGS ARE ACCOMPLISHED. God s Voice has been speaking to you all along. Often we can t hear this Voice, because it is covered over with our own imagined fears. But HE IS SPEAKING. HE HAS TOLD YOU WHAT TO DO.
You have received Divinely Inspired Ideas. Now the only thing to do is carry them out. Take a step. When God showed up to tell Moses to go and release the Isrealites out of slavery and bondage, he meant it! Go there, and do it. Don t sit around waiting to get more instructions. You have received all the instruction you need to begin. Now go.
God gave Moses instructions as he went along, step by step. This required faith. He did not give the whole plan to Moses as he started out, he only said: GO IN THIS DIRECTION, I AM WITH YOU. Remember from one of our earlier topics, HOW and WHY is Ego keeping you in limitation and fear. It s a total waste of time trying to think about how your Vision is going to unfold. You don t need to figure out the How or Why but you do need to head out in the direction, by taking a step. If you want peace, you gotta jump in. No frame of mind outside of peace is ever going to help you!
We re leaving the desert now. You re not alone. What is a step you are going to take today that proves your vision is accomplished? What are you going to do today that s going to take you out of your comfort zone?
