The Universe Has Your Back: Transform Fear to Faith

by Gabrielle Bernstein

“I recognize that I have chosen wrongly, I forgive this thought, and I choose again. I choose love.”

Step 3: See for the first time.

“I want to see this person for the first time.”

Step 4: Meditation for oneness.

Be willing to release judgment and accept that you have chosen fear. Forgive the judgmental thought with this prayer: “I recognize that I have chosen fear, and I choose again. I choose love.” Let go of the shadow of the past by seeing someone for the first time with the eyes of love. Practice the Kundalini meditation, and recognize the other person is you. This four-step process can set you free one moment at a time.

return to love,

“Is it okay that I’ve followed A Course in Miracles, Kundalini yoga, John of God, and many other spiritual thought systems?

Is it okay that I haven’t committed to one specific path?”

"Sounds True"…

My teacher Marianne Williamson says, “When we give time to a quieting experience, we have a different life because we have a different nervous system.”

At the level of the mind, we can never be harmed because in any moment we can choose love.

"…at any moment…choose love…"

A Prayer for Truth “I call on the energy of the Universe to guide my thoughts back to love. I surrender the false perceptions I have placed upon myself. I forgive these thoughts and I know that I am love. I am peace. I am compassion. I am the Universe.”

I recommend practicing this meditation with the song “Halleluiah” found at GabbyBernstein.com/Universe.

self-entitled.”

Kenneth Wapnick:

Simply be aware of your fearful resistance and commit to walking the humble path.

"…the humble path."

Course in Miracles: To use the power God has given you as he would have used it is natural. It is not arrogant to be as he created you, but it is arrogant to lay aside the power he gave and choose a little senseless wish instead of what he wills. The gift of God to you is limitless. There is no circumstance it cannot answer and no problem which is not resolved within its gracious light.

Let’s recap the lessons from this chapter:

Do whatever it takes to get closer to consciousness. Experience your interconnectedness. Practice the prayer for truth and the Kundalini meditation to heighten your experiential connection with the Universe. Remember that truth is your name. Practice the mantra Sat Nam to stay committed to your true nature. Walk a path of humility to stay centered in your universal truth.

Hope is the energy that carries us when we lose sight of our spiritual faith. Hope reminds us of the power of love and clears the path toward the highest good for all.

Hope is the conduit for miracles.

"Hope is the conduit for miracles."

Carl Jung said: “Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.”

Faith and grace,

Step 1:

Today I surrender my goals and plans to the care of the Universe.

Step 2:

Course in Miracles lesson 173 is: “The light has come.”

Imagine how free you would feel if you lived your life moment to moment rather than milestone to milestone.

It’s the journey that matters, not the destination.

Step 3:

Step 4: Turn it over to the holy triangle.

God box,

Take your hands off the wheel through prayer. Turn over time by accepting the present moment as a miracle. Surrender your goals and let faith take the lead. Release your desire to your God box or holy triangle. Trust it is being taken care of.

Your power lies in your capacity to spread love.

Step 1: Wake up.

There’s nothing more upsetting to me than highly spiritual people who are disengaged from the world around them.

I am curious about how Gabby responds to this.

Step 2: Remember where your true power lies.

Step 3: The peace of love is shining in you now.

Lesson 188 from A Course in Miracles

Honor the trauma, honor the pain, and honor the fear,

In the present moment, you can return to love and be at peace.

Step 4: Become an instrument for love.

Begin each day with this simple prayer: “How would you use me?”

The Course says, “You are at peace and you bring peace with you wherever you are.”
