I had a very interesting meditation the other day on Lesson 237, “Now would I be as God created me.” I gave my whole mind to God, everything. At one point it felt like my whole life was flashing before my eyes. I also saw past lives and the vague outline of future ones. I gave my whole mind over, what I was consciously aware of and what I wasn’t but still knew was there.
I had all my thoughts in a large container, a bag or a bucket, which I brought to God. Whenever anything came to mind, joys, doubts, fears, accomplishments, resentments, all actions and reactions, I gave over, even what I would formerly have judged as not part of the whole, but separate from God. I gave the “bad” and “ugly” as well as the “good.” I felt my mind as a vast reservoir that I gave over.
The light seemed to touch all my lives, past, present and future, and make them all better somehow. This light seeemed like a vast vertical column or circle. Also I gave to God the light in other minds and there seemed a vast horizontal loop that circumferenced other people everywhere. I saw that giving my whole mind to God was giving only a tiny speck of light in the whole mind of God, but I felt quite content giving my part of the whole.
I asked only that my whole mind be used for what is truly helpful. I don’t know what that is, but I do know that the Christ mind in me does. I know what my desire for service to the light would be, but perhaps there is another path more helpful. As I give my whole mind to God, holding nothing back, perhaps God gives me another task more truly helpful. I leave this in the hands of God and His perfect plan. I am quite willing to do what He wills. The mind of Christ in me will know what that is.
As I saw the Christ mind in others, I affirmed that what I want most for them is that they hear and listen to the Voice for God. What ever that is for them, it can only be a voice for love and nothing else. My desire and wish for everyone is that they listen, follow and find fulfillment in their following. I have no way of knowing how the Voice for God guides them. I can only trust that the Voice for God is in their mind and does guide them. What more could I wish for my brother because this would bring him every happiness and joy. It is exactly what I desire for myself, to hear clearly and follow the Voice for God in my mind. To have this freedom to follow Holy Spirit as He guides is a grand gift I wish to give and to receive in turn.
As I give my whole mind to God, I have no ready answers as to where to go or what to do. Potentialities are left as potentialities, and yet I feel a profound sense of peace and well being. I give my whole mind to God. Surely there is goodness in this. Surely it will be used according to God’s Will in ways I can understand. As I leave no part of my mind behind, I give everything I am and I have, every wish to be of service to God in particular ways as well as a willingness to let this go and do another activity in form. I realize form is not important. It is the use of the whole mind that is. I am open and open-minded to what God gives. ” Now would I be as God created me.” Now would I be as He asks and wills, not as I ask and I will.
There is a great expansiveness in focusing only on the Will of God, as God creates and how He creates. As I let go of all ego expectations, putting them into the container I give to God, I feel more complete. As I give everything in my mind, holding nothing back as separate from God, I feel purified and whole. In the world giving away is loss. With God, giving all to Him is only gain. As I give all I have to Him, I am rewarded with all that is, all that could be, all that will ever be, even though I am not exactly sure what that is. The peace that comes from God is sufficient for me.
I need not have every answer of God’s Will in this moment. I know God uses my whole mind for love. This is enough to know. I trust God for the balance. When there is clarity about what is most truly helpful, I will be able to act accordingly. I trust that clarity will be there for me as I trust it will be there for my brother as he listens. Perhaps I am being readied for greater listening. I would be a better listener, the best listener possible to the Holy Spirit. In this I will find all I need, the answers to questions I do not know to ask - all the help I need and then some. Help in abundance!
I expect miracles today and every day. In wholeness there are miracles in abundance. I expect to be lifted up and carried in love on the flow of God’s Will of love, peace, joy and unity. I expect the Voice for God to make straight the way I am to follow, calling the Name of God before me as I walk forth so I may follow that Word and no other. I expect the miracle of love to be present in all ways. “Now would I be as God created me.”
