Lesson 264: ”I am surrounded by the Love of God.”

Reframe: I am enveloped in love and support at all times.

Suggested Practice: 

From now on: 
Once in the morning and once in the evening for however many minutes feels sufficient. Then every hour remember/recite the idea for the day. 

Prayer For today: 
(feel free to swap out the wording to whatever resonates with you best)

“Father, You stand before me and behind, beside me, in the place I see myself, and everywhere I go. ²You are in all the things I look upon, the sounds I hear, and every hand that reaches for my own. ³In You time disappears, and place becomes a meaningless belief. ⁴For what surrounds Your Son and keeps him safe is Love itself. ⁵There is no source but this, and nothing is that does not share its holiness; that stands beyond Your one creation, or without the Love which holds all things within itself. ⁶Father, Your Son is like Yourself. ⁷We come to You in Your Own Name today, to be at peace within Your everlasting Love.” (ACIM, W-264.1:1-7)

OR… “Love is everywhere we are.”

For Lessons 261-270: What is the body? is the theme. Read the whole article here.
”The body is a fence the Son of God imagines he has built, to separate parts of his Self from other parts.”… The body is a dream. ²Like other dreams it sometimes seems to picture happiness, but can quite suddenly revert to fear, where every dream is born. ³For only love creates in truth, and truth can never fear. ⁴Made to be fearful, must the body serve the purpose given it. ⁵But we can change the purpose that the body will obey by changing what we think that it is for… The body is the means by which God’s Son returns to sanity …³The Son of God extends his hand to reach his brother, and to help him walk along the road with him. ⁴Now is the body holy. ⁵Now it serves to heal the mind…³Your safety lies in truth, and not in lies. ⁴Love is your safety. ⁵Fear does not exist. ⁶Identify with love, and you are safe.⁷Identify with love, and you are home. ⁸Identify with love, and find your Self.

From the PART II Introduction: Read the whole introduction here.

“Words will mean little now. ²We use them but as guides on which we do not now depend. ³For now we seek direct experience of truth alone. ⁴The lessons that remain are merely introductions to the times in which we leave the world of pain, and go to enter peace. ⁵Now we begin to reach the goal this course has set, and find the end toward which our practicing was always geared.” (ACIM, W-pII.in.1:1-5)

Message

Today’s Lesson brought the song “Love Is in the Air” to mind. It’s been an earworm all day, and thankfully, I love this song. It’s light, uplifting, and joyous.

Hearing it in my head during my morning walk made it easier to experience what I believe this Lesson is teaching. Everything looked brighter and more alive. At one point, I waved to the local bus driver going by, and they waved back. My heart about jumped out of my chest—I was that happy. I could feel the love.

When I got home, I had to find a recording because 1) I wanted to hear the original by John Paul Young, which I loved when it first came out in 1977, and 2) I wanted to read the lyrics. The third verse especially captures my morning walk and the Lesson:

Love is in the air
In the rising of the sun
Love is in the air
When the day is nearly done

And I don’t know if you’re an illusion
Don’t know if I see it true
But you’re something that I must believe in
And you’re there when I reach out for you

(You can watch/listen on YouTube: “Love is in the air”)

This brings up a point about music that uplifts. Just like when I’m in nature, when I listen to music that makes me want to dance around the room, I can feel myself being filled and surrounded by the Love of God. That’s what “Love Is in the Air” did for me today. This wasn’t just a Lesson I read—it was a felt experience.

BTW, here are some of my favorite uplifting songs that make me want to dance with joy:

What songs fill you up and make you feel surrounded by that Love? I’d love to hear them.

“You are a perfect angel goddess rock star, and I am so very very proud of you. C’mon down and scoop up your gifts.”

My Mission: connecting with our Inner Light in delightful, inspiring ways For me, creating mandalas is more than just coloring pretty patterns in a circle. I do it because my spiritual evolution and creativity require it of me. My mandala designs come about within an active meditative state, connected with my higher self, my spiritual guides and nature spirits. Together, we bring into form, mandala art the allows me to re-connect with my own inner peace and joy, letting me explore and expand my own creative spirit to however far and in whatever direction I want to take it. As part of my own spiritual journey, I encourage, and hopefully inspire, others to explore their own creativity, to help them re-connect with their own inner peace and joy. As a means to that end, I make all of my mandalas available for people to color. Why should I have all the fun?
