T-18 (FIP ed.) is so deep, it's as if I never read it before. v.6.1 "...stop instantly and offer the Holy Spirit your willingness, in spite of fear.." How hard is that? Think with the thoughts of God. Yet my addiction is to ego-justification and projection of guilt. I keep trying to fix this nightmare by attacking the reflected images. Still, my Father offers a happy dream...perhaps today? ( Ha, ha, ha. Thank you! Regarding your introductory remarks : LMAO as my loan officer said. )
The agency we have is huge yet requires very little on our part. A moment of sanity is available with little effort if I allow it. Not always easy while in the trenches, but I know it's there.
This is a continuous aspect of 'the Course.' Somewhere J mentions it's like pushing your face closer to a cloth screen--it starts as opaque (no awarens of HS) and more is visible on the other side (focusing beyond--all HS). WE are on a long ride east to see J's parents--I'm practicing this issue you bring up--no.1 assume the HS is in every single perception as potential. Recognize it is not apparent 'yet,' and so 'reach out' to this 'hidden spirit.' Then wait for a perception that sets off the 'event' as something apart from the usual bombardment. Driving through intense Indiannapolis traffic I notice--HS is here too--I ask and look, wait, perception softens and a 'new look' emerges. Now I am together with these others, all of us rushing somewhere--it's God, and we don't know it...it becomes beautiful. Goosebumps--did I make this up? Faith, one must accept the experiment as valid--no other way. THANKS for asking...every experiment in finding HS brings more beauty to the ordinary experience. Get back on what you find.
