📖✨ Exploring the Profound Teachings of ACIM: Chapter 1, Section 1, Verse 48 ✨📖

Hello, beloved community! Let’s continue our journey through the transformative wisdom of "A Course in Miracles" (ACIM) by reflecting on Chapter 1, Section 1, Verse 48:

"Miracles are the supreme act of forgiveness. In them, you see the forgiven world and recognize its true nature. By forgiving, you free yourself from the past and allow the light of love to illuminate the present."

This verse offers profound insights into the relationship between miracles, forgiveness, and the recognition of the world’s true nature. Let’s delve into its deep meaning and explore how it can inspire our spiritual practice.

🌟 Miracles as Acts of Supreme Forgiveness 🌟

ACIM teaches that miracles are the supreme act of forgiveness. Forgiveness, in this context, is more than just letting go of grievances; it is an act of seeing beyond the illusions of guilt, blame, and separation to recognize the inherent innocence and divine nature of all beings. When we forgive, we are not only releasing others from the judgments we hold against them but also liberating ourselves from the chains of the past. Miracles, as acts of supreme forgiveness, allow us to experience a profound shift in perception, where we see the world and ourselves through the lens of love and compassion.

💖 Seeing the Forgiven World 💖

The verse emphasizes that through miracles, we see the forgiven world and recognize its true nature. This recognition is a revelation of the world as it truly is, not as it appears through the distorted lens of the ego. In the forgiven world, we see the beauty, innocence, and love that are always present, even in situations that seem challenging or painful. This shift in perception allows us to transcend the limitations of the ego and connect with the deeper reality of divine love that underlies all existence. By seeing the world in this way, we open ourselves to the flow of miracles and experience the peace and joy that come from true understanding.

🔮 Freedom from the Past and Illumination of the Present 🔮

ACIM highlights that by forgiving, we free ourselves from the past and allow the light of love to illuminate the present. Holding onto past grievances and judgments keeps us trapped in a cycle of pain and suffering, preventing us from fully experiencing the present moment. Forgiveness breaks this cycle, releasing us from the burdens of the past and opening our hearts to the healing power of love. When we forgive, we create space for the light of love to shine in our lives, bringing clarity, peace, and a deeper connection to the present moment.

✨ Cultivating Forgiveness and Embracing Miracles ✨

To fully embrace the teachings of this verse, we can focus on cultivating forgiveness in our daily lives. This involves letting go of past hurts, releasing judgments, and choosing to see the world and others through the eyes of love. Practices such as meditation, self-reflection, and compassion can help us develop the mindset and heart-space needed for forgiveness. By making forgiveness a regular part of our spiritual practice, we open ourselves to the transformative power of miracles and the recognition of the world’s true, loving nature.

🌈 Living a Life of Miraculous Forgiveness and Love 🌈

As we meditate on this verse, let’s commit to embracing forgiveness as a path to freedom and illumination. Let’s allow the light of love to guide our perceptions, freeing ourselves from the past and experiencing the present moment with clarity and joy. By living a life rooted in forgiveness and love, we align ourselves with the flow of miracles and contribute to the creation of a more compassionate and harmonious world.

💫✨ Embrace the supreme act of forgiveness, see the world in its true light, and allow the love of the present to illuminate your life! ✨💫

good morning.

today i wake up kind of positive. covid positive lol. im sick and on medication. but i was feeling light in heart. i had breakfast, then took my pills. i was thinking about my past. i recalled the song" somebody that i used to know" . It's very accurate for me, all these people are somebody that i used to know now. i didn't even needed their love but they treat me like stranger and it was not necessary. also they owed me an explanation and the truth but they were too low to pay these. i'm above all the past needs for people who didn't like me. now i accepted the fact that no one actually liked me. and it feels ok now because before i was thinking they like me and treat me like this but now i know the truth. also future stresses me out so i will stop thinking about the future and live day by day.

The Meaning Of Life

Life has no purpose on its own; it simply exists. We are free to hold any perspective; our personal living experience may include connecting with people, socializing, thinking on topics, and consciously guiding every scenario. All of this culminates in our current world. We establish our life position, asserting that we are accountable for and have fashioned our own lives out of the existence given to us. As a result, we must emphasize living to comprehend life's worth and give it meaning.

Those who live to savour each day as it arrives are awake and aware of everything around them. They want to make a name for themselves, earn a living through simple methods and feel worthy of whatever they do or want to do. Life is a challenge for them, and they must face it with a positive ego and attentive consciousness. Instead of dwelling in the past and fantasizing about the future, keep watching things and experiencing life to become more aware of experiencing the present. Having a wealth of knowledge and proficiency in many subjects is considerably less satisfying than living and experiencing life moment by moment, intentionally for today.

Living life to its fullest and in the right balance is far more gratifying than being concerned about material accumulations. We should reflect on what we have contributed to society and the world during our lives. Those who have fully lived their lives have no dread of death. Life has a purpose that is for something bigger than ourselves. While some souls are carefree, the majority of us encounter the extremes of worldly living, which we seek to balance with spiritual grace at some point. All we have to do is appreciate both the material and spiritual aspects of life.

Life has no value in and of itself; living is a process that produces a uniqueness that reflects our consciousness. It also has no purpose because that would imply a goal that would confine existence to materialism. The aim of constructing our individuality, which will last in eternity after we die, should be how we reflect in its entirety. The manner Buddha, Lord Krishna, Jesus Christ, and countless others realized from their living, which they left behind for all eternity.

We must recognize that, as physical beings, we experience an illusory drama of existence. The entire purpose of life is to awaken from this state of ignorance. We are neither body, mind, nor consciousness; everything originates from nothing and returns to nothing. Our mission in life is to free ourselves from the mind's illusions and become who we are concerning the awakening of our soul lying dormant within.

It is a waste asking this question when you are the answer. You need to create that uniqueness of what you are today and will become in future. Anything in its absoluteness does not provide its meaning, only its essence. Like the divine with a name and gender has no meaning, provides only belief and faith. However, our thoughts and acts of divinity, love, righteousness and truthfulness express and exhibits a deep sense of our essence.

Similarly,  material living is satisfied by being consistently dissatisfied, leading to temporary identifications and attachments. The meaning in material life ushers more of anger, anguish, anxiety and agitation besides providing ego, knowledge and comforts. However, balancing the material wants with clarity, clairvoyance, contentment, and calmness brings a lot of meaning to celebrating life. Hence, in the nothingness of the universe, life has no meaning; however, a conscious principle in experiencing body, mind, and soul demands a purpose.

 Life is more of survival and propagation for the plants and animals, but for us is to discover and create. From the being to becoming out of that beingness/consciousness is to know who you are inward, what you are outwardly and the direction of the movement of your life existentially from one moment to the next. This means always be alert, attentive and aware in life to create and celebrate happiness and sadness with equal grace and respect with your third eye open so that you live in eternity even when you are not physically alive in the hearts of others.

I’m day late on this one but here’s the random musing for today.

I have things in my past life that I’m not proud of and things that I’m absolutely sure I’m paying a penance for. My character has been built by all the negative experiences I’ve been subjected to (and all the positive ones - it wasn’t all bad!)

A few years ago I my brain just couldn’t take it anymore and I ended up broken. Just for a while but I’d still hit rock bottom. I was stuck in a victim mindset. It was then I knew that I couldn’t take these things forward with me anymore. They were how I’d got to the place I was but they weren’t serving me and were holding me back from the kind of life I wanted.

I made peace with my past and really did let it go. Scared at first because it felt like I was becoming a totally different person and I hate change. To be fair it’s still a work in progress but I try not to let the negative overthinking, ruminating, feelings of not being enough and sadness that I no longer have the people in my life that got me to this point overshadow the all the positive things and fabulous people I now have in my life.

“If you want to be happy, do not dwell in the past, do not worry about the future, focus living fully in the present.”

If you obsess over the past, you miss out on the present. #stoplivinginthepast

The more anger you hold in your heart toward the past, the less capable you are of loving the present. #beingpresent

Stop suffocating your future by breathing life into your past. #beingpresentinthemoment

The past is dead except for the life you give it. #bepresentnow

Keeping the past alive will make you unable to live. #thepastisthepast

The past will kill you if you don’t let it die. #thepast

We do not heal the past by dwelling there.

We heal the past by living in the present. #yourpast

Every moment you live in the past is a moment you waste in the present. #bepresent

Holding onto the past makes you less capable to hold on to receive the present. #liveinthepresent

A life lived in the past is a life lost in the present. #livinginthepresent

Life is available only in the present moment.

If you abandon the present moment, you cannot live the moments of your daily life deeply. #livinginthepresentmoment

To be fully alive is to be fully present.

And to do that, you’ve got to leave the past in the past. #liveinthepresentmoment

No matter how happy you are in your present, if you cannot overcome your past, it will kill your present. #thepastisinthepast

In order to get on with our future and simply our lives, we must choose to make a clean break and leave the past behind. #letthepastgo

The past occupies your mind so much that you are overlooking the present. #letthepastbethepast

Don’t lose sight of the present by focusing on the past. #dontmissthemoment

The past cannot breathe, talk, think, or do.

However, it is immensely powerful and can take over our future—if we let it. #thepastisgone

There is no future, no past.

There is only the present. #livinginthepast

IT AIN’T A CRIME TO BE GOOD TO YOURSELF🖤 “Life is only as good as your mindset, take time for yourself” is a quote I’ve been living off of lately. It’s very simple for me to slip into 10-13 hour non-stop work days. Pushing myself until my tank is empty. Not sleeping because “sleep is for when you’re dead” (a saying I’ve spit since I was 15, ha) BUT hey, I love what I do and I’m addicted to my work, this brand, my creative flow, growth, experiences. These past few weeks I’ve gained a great amount of clarity. Only in taking care of my being physically, mentally & spiritually was I able to recognize tension. Tension in my everyday life, an unbalance. My soul being pulled in so many directions. Being here while being there, feeling heavy in my head, not being able to write, neglecting self love & healing. Realizing that if I continue working myself to empty, I won’t have anything left to offer myself, others, the universe, this brand. I made a promise to myself to continue this journey by working smarter rather than harder. Wise words from my spirit sis @emmzyp ‘stress less’ , cause it could all be over tomorrow. Being vulnerable and throwing this out into the world because you can get punched in the face with a million signs but there’s no real change until you recognize and act upon them. Thanks for always guiding me, universe. #refuse2obey #grateful #balance #livinginthepresent (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx0TL_WA2AX/?igshid=14rdkpsg21idf
