The reason the phrase "love heals all things" is true
is because love is the highest frequency of energy
there is, and no problems or sickness exist at that
level. There is only love, joy, freedom, happiness and
peace. It's a whole other world. In this place, you
know you are loved and lovable. At this level, you
feel truly safe and happy, and life is one big
adventure.
Everyone has experienced this state of mind before - a
time when there are no worries and no cares. Suddenly
you feel like a child again in a land of endless
possibilities and constant wonder.
Most people have no problem raising their vibration to
the level of love - you laugh a lot, you smile
constantly, you feel alive - but the difficulty is
that most people cannot maintain the frequency of love
for extended periods of time. They dip back down into
lower frequencies, where pain, depression, doubt and
sadness exist. But with practice, you can learn to
live in a world where there is only love. By following
a few simple instructions, you can learn to raise your
energy level (and keep it raised!) to a place where
miracles occur naturally every day.
INTRODUCTION
Dear Reader,
In November 2004, I created a blog called Gorgeous for God which is
based on the teachings of Jesus from A Course in Miracles. I wrote
every morning in the hope that by giving a little time each day to God,
I would become more aware of my own self-imposed fears, blocks and
obstacles (so that I could release them) and begin to witness what A
Course in Miracles offers: an experience of living in a world where
there is only love, all the time.
What happened was nothing short of a miracle: I became perfect.
I began to realize there is another world all around us, just waiting
for us to reach out and recognize it and live there. Walking into
Heaven, where miracles are our natural birthright, is as easy as
walking from one room to another room. It’s that simple.
By watching my own thoughts, actions and reactions, I was able to
choose a new way of thinking and behaving. With each passing day, I
began to feel happier, energetic, joyful and more peaceful. My
relationships became harmonious. Conflict disappeared. I began to think
differently about myself and differently about others. Suddenly life
was a grand adventure.
In the Teachers Manual of A Course in Miracles it says: “The teachers
of God are not perfect or they would not be here. Yet it is their
function to become perfect and so they teach perfection over and over,
in many, many ways until they have learned it. And then they are seen
no more, although their thoughts remain a source of strength and truth
forever.”
It says to become perfect you must teach perfection over and over until
you learn it. Total perfection became my new goal. I wanted to be as
God created me. So I kept a daily blog, charting my own transformation,
the mood swings, the highs and the lows, the joy along with the
futility and doubt, as I traveled along the path to God to the
remembrance of our own shared innocence.
What I know now is that there is no process at all. Only acceptance is
necessary. You don’t need to understand how changing your mind will
change the world. You don’t need to know the way to Heaven. God knows
the way. And most importantly, you don’t need to believe in God at all!
All you need is a little willingness that your life be radically
different, starting now. The rest of the path will open up easily
before you as you witness the brilliant landscape all around you, as
you begin to give and forgive.
The entire blog is over 2000 pages, which I thought might overwhelm
you. So I have chosen the best blog entries based on reader comments
and organized it in a form that I pray will be useful to you.
May this book spark a light in your own mind that will inspire you to
go beyond all littleness to the magnitude and brilliance in which you
were created.
You are the light of the world.
I love you.
Lisa
