Lesson 3

I don’t understand anything I see.

I’m happy to say that I find this idea very freeing. As I realized when I read all three lessons together, I don’t understand anything I see because they are meaningless and I gave them all the meaning they have for me. And I know I did this with my ego thinking mind. It might seem to be very depressing to think that all of this is meaningless, but now I can ask what it is for and that is a much more profitable question. This is the question that leads to freedom.

Within you there is a place where I am and you are and there is no difference between us. This is a state of oneness, where the two are joined, and they are the same one. There is no loss in this state of awareness. There is only more. This is why I have asked you to inquire deep and broad. Within depth, there is expansion.

~ From the Inner Guide, Thoughts of Awakening

This could be Jesus and I, or you and I, or the clerk at Market Basket and I, or it can be the self and the Self – i and I. It is all joined as one. When we are aware of our oneness there is no loss, just expansion. What an important truth that is! I know that I used to think that being one meant that I was somehow diminished as if I would miss this body and this personality that I borrowed for the present incarnation. I seem to long for union now. I gladly release the idea of this temporary self to know myself as One with All.

Tips From Regina Dawn Akers

Rest, Accept and Trust (RAT) is a simple reminder of your job in the healing process.

1. Rest the mind by withdrawing your attention/belief from obsessive thinking. If that is challenging, try positive healing-focused self-talk such as, “Ok, just breathe now. Take a deep breath. Now another. This is okay. This is coming up now because I have decided to heal. I want to heal. And in order to heal, things must come up. I am happy this is here, but I do not want to give it my attention. I want to rest attention away from this so it can be healed. I will focus attention on my breath. I trust healing is happening. I am happy for this opportunity.” Etcetera or something similar.
2. Accept the feeling. Allow it to be. Realize that as this feeling comes into awareness and is seen, it is healing. Stay out of the way. Do not try to change anything. It is just a feeling, an emotional energy and nothing more. Let it be as it is. Be grateful that healing is mysteriously occurring.
3. Trust that healing is occurring. You have done your part by resting and accepting. Clear awareness (God, Holy Spirit) is taking care of everything else. You have gotten out of the way so healing can happen. That is all you were asked to do.
