This week’s classes about Living the Love in Your Calling in Living A Course in Miracles have got me all fired up! I remember how entrenched I was in the thought that it was so HARD to live my calling. I felt like I’d never figure it out. I finally realized that the only thing that can ever imprison me on a spiritual level is my agreement to live in limitation.
Fortunately, no one is forced to mentally agree to live in limitation. Even if your body is imprisoned, sick, and tortured your mind can still be free. That is our natural state. We must be consistently willing to choose freedom.
History is filled with extraordinary stories of people who were physically imprisoned and who discovered true liberation through their experience. Prison became the pressure that turned their mind of dark coal into a diamond light. Think of Nelson Mandela. He’s told us that his liberation from prison didn’t happen until he was willing to see that peace was the way of true liberation.
There are so many ways that you can convince yourself that you are not free and will never be free. Yet, no matter how convinced you are it will never, ever be true.
To liberate yourself you must decide that you are interested in bustin’ loose from the mental habit of enslavement to the ego. You must choose. No one can liberate you. No thing can liberate you. No company, no government, no spiritual or religious leader, no book, no class. Only you, yourself, can liberate your mind. The power is within you. It’s always been there and you’ve always known it. For those who have eyes to see it they will find it. The Kingdom is pre-installed. You are pre-approved.
Are you willing to learn the mental discipline of freedom or will you tell yourself it’s too hard and you cannot do it? As soon as you are willing, it will be shown to you and then you can share it with others. What glory that awaits you!
If today you are committed to convincing yourself you don’t have what it takes, then at least decide how much longer you will pretend you don’t have it. Decide today. How much longer you will enjoy the view from your prison? Set a date for your liberation. Your activation awaits your choice. It’s really not so far away. Only one choice, one decision. Partner UP. Let the Spirit do the heavy lifting. This is the truth that sets you free. Eventually you will choose freedom. You decide when.
