The Power of Your Light

This Week's Quotation:

I walk with God in perfect holiness. Everyone in the world is innocent. The truth about them is God. Ideas leave not their source. God is One. All that is real is of God and in God. The false ideas fall away as I move to step back and let the truth in me come forward. And then I will see the truth is everywhere and in everything I see. I light the world, I light my mind and all the minds that God created one with me.

~ A Course in Miracles, Lesson 156

The Power of Your Light

Terri McCartney

We can’t have a new Earth without a new consciousness. Yet, we can’t change anyone else’s consciousness but our own. And the only necessary change is to free our mind of separation so that it has the certainty that when I light my mind, I light all the minds that God created one with me.

The question that’s guided me through the most heart-wrenching and difficult challenges I’ve faced in my life is, How do I see the Love in this situation where it appears not to be? Over and over again asking that question has been the saving Grace. I’ve experienced the power of the Light. I learned Love is not just words. It’s also action. And the oxygen we breathe.

The Light we are knows that Love is the answer to every problem our world confronts. We don’t have to love the experience we or others are having. We just have to bring Love to the being and the world that is having that experience. And bring it without concern for results. Each time we remember our true nature, the waveforms that have made separation the human normal are slowly but surely disintegrating.

How we manage our perceptions and actions is a reflection of the consciousness we hold. Even when what is happening appears catastrophic and not in our control, we have to go through whatever thoughts and emotions arise. If we relate to them as problems, so they will be. If we perceive them as an opportunity, we engage the power of our Light.

We use the innate power of our Light each time we consciously choose a unifying response to whatever arises. We can trust that it will render all situations malleable to new and higher potentials. Everything in our experience becomes an opportunity when we don’t perceive it as separate from us—it is separation that gives rise to fear, blame, or judgment. We are learning to be in a state of reverence for whatever is before us because even when it’s distorted, we recognize it's of Source, just needing to be re-membered.

At this time in human history—as humans are transitioning from the belief of being in a state of separation to the state of being in unity—when the alignment that any form holds negates the Divine, it must be re-known and realigned in unity. Love holds space for this process and for the dissolving of the dense distortions created by the belief in separation.

We can trust that as we consciously direct our light, we are sending love frequencies out into our world like a Sun, radiating a powerful life-enhancing blessing to all that is.

About Open Windows

We, the authors of this blog, dedicate it to the transparent exploration of the world's sacred scripture and enlightened spiritual thought. We believe that the original inspiration of all faiths comes from a common source, named and revered in a myriad of ways. With that understanding, the innumerable symbols, beliefs, and practices of faith cease to divide. They become open windows to a common reality that inspires and unifies us. We find deeper insight and nourishment in our own faith and from the expression of faith from others.

We hope these weekly quotations and meditations speak to your heart and soul.
