it’s our resistance to love that keeps us in the dark. This resistance is the reason we stay stuck in patterns that keep us from thriving.
the moment we lean toward the light, the darkness within us resists it.
Even when we make a commitment to love and happiness, we often find it hard to give up the fear we’ve grown to depend on.
A Course in Miracles teaches us that projection is perception. This means that whatever stories you’re projecting in your mind are what you’re perceiving in your life.
The thing is, our fear stories are sneaky. They live in our psyches and our cells; they linger in our subconscious. Right when we think we’re healed of the false projection, BAM! Something simple can trigger us and send us right back to the old fear.
Energy flows where your attention goes. My focus and attention had been so negative that I cut off the possibility for love. Then the moment I said my prayer, I opened up my consciousness to receive new information. This was
my way out of the fearful projection.
“I witness that I’m out of alignment with my power. I choose to see peace instead of this.”
We can perceive a negative health diagnosis with complete terror or a chance to slow down and truly start embracing each moment with gratitude.
UNIVERSAL LESSON: WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT OUR EYES ARE SEEING. WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR HOW WE PERCEIVE WHAT WE ARE SEEING.

an instant out of time and space in which our decision-making mind realizes it made a mistake (the “unholy instant”) and invites the loving perception of the Universe to reinterpret the situation. The shift in perception enables us to understand that the world outside is a projection of the world we created in our mind; that the problem is not outside, but within. We’re reminded that there’s a loving spiritual presence that can restore us to sanity. That’s the Holy Instant.
Together we said a prayer. We said, “Thank you, spirit, for your guidance. We surrender this grievance to you, and we welcome you in to reorganize all limiting beliefs back to love.”
UNIVERSAL LESSON: THE UNIVERSE IS ALWAYS RESPONDING TO THE ENERGY BEHIND YOUR BELIEFS.

Call on compassion to clear the path. Ask the Universe for help, and rely on a power greater than you. Take care of your side of the street, and own your part in the situation. Welcome healing and expect miracles.
Let’s recap the steps from this chapter: Witness your low-vibe story and how it makes you feel.

“Thank you, Universe, for helping me see beyond my limitations. Thank you for expanding my perceptions so that I can attract genuine love.”
Accept that obstacles are detours in the right direction. Get honest about how you’re controlling certain circumstances in your life.
Then use your prayer: “Thank you, Universe, for helping me see this obstacle as an opportunity. I will step back and let you lead the way.” Practice the guidance meditation to lead you into a surrendered state of patience and peace.
The first step on the path toward certainty is your readiness. Stay willing to be free on a moment-to-moment basis. Tap into the feelings you desire through your meditation. Begin a dialogue with the Universe through your writing exercise.
Consciously co-create your reality by tapping into the feelings you desire and cultivating those feelings in moments throughout your day. Stop praying for an outcome and instead, pray for the highest good for all. Establish a spiritual relationship of your own understanding. It will change and grow, but for today, honor
your own relationship to th...

My faith statement is: I know that the Universe is an ever-present energy field of love. I know that when I align with the energy of love through thoughts, actions, and beliefs, I am given infinite support and guidance. I know that I can co-create my reality with this loving presence so that I can live in joy and spread light.
“Every communication is either an extension of love or a call for love.” When you attack with judgment, you’re really just looking for love. The search for love is your true intent behind the attack because deep down all you want is to protect yourself from not feeling loved. It’s also the intent of the person you believe has attacked you. Both of you are simply looking for love. At
To give up our obsession with time, we must accept that the light has come. We already embody all the love, joy, and peace we long for. In any moment, when you find yourself caught up in time, you can return to the miracle of the moment. Accept that the light has come, and live in the miracle. Imagine how free you would feel if you lived your life moment to moment rather than milestone to milestone.
“When you’re happy for some reason you’re still in misery because that reason can be taken from you tomorrow.” Instead of seeking some reason or outcome to make us happy, we must learn to trust in the wonders of the Universe. Each day brings new miracles to celebrate. Each moment can be a miracle if we choose to perceive it that way. Instead of focusing on goals and outcomes, redirect your focus onto celebrating what you already have. Take time each day to devote your attention to what is thriving in your life.
