"I see only the past" (spiritual practice)
From ACIM Workbook lesson 7.
Spiritual Practice
T/F: Dr. Hew Len cured a ward of mentally ill patients by ho'oponopono
A calibration of 200 or more would suggest at least one patient was partially cured. A calibration over 400 would suggest the full extent of the statement. The level of the calibration speaks to the degree of truth.
statement: I will be as God knows me
Request: I guess, maybe, in a sense it is an illusion to be something you are not. I tried calibrating “this is how God knows me” for different memories and attitudes, and I got “no” for so much of it. But for the spirited, that which feels close to my heart, it was a big “YES”
surrendering to "what will be will be"
Priority request: I found saying this to myself to be comforting and helpful in dealing with desire, anxiety, and fear of the future not going the way I want it to.
Love the small self, surrender the ego
Priority request: A statement that summarizes spiritual work and lifts the paradox of surrender/letting go vs. love and also the paradox of 'me' as divinity vs. 'me' as the ego. As Doc taught we ought to let go of attachments, and keep love as an alignment.
contemplation: I
Request: Just holding in mind “I”. Nothing extra
pathway of relaxation
Just taking it easy, not needing life to be an action movie. Effortlessly drawn to your destiny, spiritually speaking.
kindness towards all of life, in all its expressions
request: I think Dr. Hawkins once mentioned that this was all you had to do, in order to get enlightened
not taking any sides, as a spiritual practice
request: seems to take one out of the polarities characteristic of the lower astral
mantra: control is boring
request: I've found that in trying to control my inner world it's become kinda dry and stale. Yikes!
mantra: I love myself
Energy potential of this mantra and of "everyone loves me."
"Q: What prayers are useful?"
