thanks Nadia for voting for the book for this month.
this book from Marianne Williamson is most probably one of the books which had profound impact in my life. There were times I felt like my life was chaotic and depressing. I prayed a lot when I felt too depressed and I would stop praying when things started looking up. There are many people who only pray when they in difficulties and not understanding that prayer should be a way of life. It is not just reciting words with no feeling but really being in gratitude and in a love connection with God.
This statement changed me "God help me get on my knees and never get up" which simply means that God help me make the connection with you and never lose it. Teach me how to remain in a prayer mode so to say, so that my whole life is from a place of gratitude for you having created me, gratitude for my life, for my thoughts and everything about me.
The return to love is based on the principles of "A course in Miracles" and what the course in miracles teach us is that the miracle is a shift in our perception. we need to shift our perception about our lives. Many do not realise that our problems are a result of our perception, which is as a result of how we were brought up, as a result of how our parents, grandparents and great grand parents were brought up.
Marianne said there is no such thing as a faithless person, we wither have faith in fear or we have faith in love, have faith in the power of the world or have faith in the power of God. If you have faith in fear like most of us, our lives are characterised by fear, we cannot go after our dreams and the things we want to achieve because we are afraid of what other people will say about us. We do not go after our dreams because we are afraid we are going to fail. We do not go after our dreams because we are afraid we will loose all the money we have.
If we have faith in love, we believe that we are love, we are powerful beyond measure and we are capable of achieving our wildest dreams. Thus we need to shift our perception, and to do this there is a process we need to do to heal the past and clean up the mess of the faith in fear we have had for so many years. If we do not do the healing process and experience the miracle of a shift in perception suggested by the course in miracles, all these will sound like a pep talk to give a short term boost which wont last.
If you want lasting change in your perception so that you can really change your faith from fear to love, then watch this space as I am going to unravel what Marianne Williamson is teaching us, so that we can change our lives and have abundant and beautiful lives. The lives that God meant for us as his beloved children.
