Commentary on ACIM Lesson 345

© 2010 Rev. David Seacord

What is the way I must travel to return to my natural remembrance of You, oh Godness within, You whom without which I am literally 'not'? It is a very large question.... one I think which gives rise to 'ultimatalities' (yes, I made it up), sooo.... I would coach myself with a little reductionism, and rephrase it in present time only.... ie., 'What is the way I must travel TODAY.... etc'. And todays lesson gives me a sweet clue.... 'offer only miracles'....

For me today, if all goes 'as planned' (and we know about all that foolishness, right?) it will be my last day finishing this LDS tuning contract. Like any mountain that once seemed impossibly high, but which got climbed one step at a time, this accomplishment has been total spiritual curriculum.... a journey through a kaleidoscope of opportunities to be conscious of and true to my true self.

It actually has 'the nature of a dream', when reviewed, and with a little music soundtrack added. My own personal 'hero's journey'.... finding ways to be a bringer of blessings, while rolling through the world disguised as a piano tuner, or, at other times, as a fine art painter, or, at other times, a spiritual musician. (Or, at other times, a Sufi Reverend Cherag... hmmmm...) What makes the choice of 'what disguise to wear' today.... as I walk the way I must travel to remember the You/I Oneness?

I would say: The level of my willingness to be naked. For would it not be a mighty miracle... a great blessing moment... for love to reveal to me once again today that no disguise is the best dress to wear THIS day (and of course, ALL days...)?

Namaste,

David

Lesson 345

I offer only miracles today,
For I would have them be returned to me.

Father, a miracle reflects Your gifts to me, Your Son. And every one I give returns to me, reminding me the law of love is universal. Even here, it takes a form which can be recognized and seen to work. The miracles I give are given back in just the form I need to help me with the problems I perceive. Father, in Heaven it is different, for there, there are no needs. But here on earth, the miracle is closer to Your gifts than any other gift that I can give. Then let me give this gift alone today, which, born of true forgiveness, lights the way that I must travel to remember You.

Peace to all seeking hearts today. The light has come to offer miracles to bless the tired world. It will find rest today, for we will offer what we have received.
