What's it For?

What's this blog for?

This blog is a learning device to remind me to Witness to Peace - to remind me of what my true desire and my true inheritance is - to remind me Peace is up to me and independent of circumstance or time or place or person, that it's a decision I can make at any moment it may seem to disappear from my awareness, to expose thought patterns and feelings and learn to see the false as false and the Truth as true. to learn to follow the guide and comforter that has been given me to awaken me from my slumber and teach me of our Perfection and finally to learn to recognize that Only Peace and Perfection exist and I am That.

So what is the meaning of witness and how is that going to apply to me?

Let's see:

Main Entry: 1wit•ness
Pronunciation: \ˈwit-nəs\
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English witnesse,
from Old English witnes knowledge, testimony, witness, from 2wit

1: attestation of a fact or event : testimony
2: one that gives evidence; specifically:
one who testifies in a cause or before a judicial tribunal
3: one asked to be present at a transaction -
so as to be able to testify to its having taken place
4: one who has personal knowledge of something
5 a: something serving as evidence or proof : sign
b: public affirmation by word or example of usually religious faith or conviction


So I'm going to attest to the fact of Peace, I'm going to demonstrate it's existence, I'm going to have personal knowledge, personal experience of Peace, I'm going to let it become evident to me, I'm going to become convinced of Peace, I'm going to affirm Peace by word or example to bring conviction to my mind of what I want to learn this year.

This is what it is for me to Witness to Peace.

I will to learn of Peace so I will give witness to it. I will teach it to learn it.

And how am I going to do that?

I'm going to retrain my mind to a different way of looking at everything and everyone and I'm going to use this idea "Witness to Peace" as a pointer.

When ever I'm tempted to hold a grievance, whenever I'm tempted to defend myself, whenever I feel restless, upset in anyway, disturbed, diseased. I will say to myself, "Let me witness to Peace instead of what I am seeing NOW." "Let me witness to Peace instead of what I am experiencing now.

Tomorrow is the New Year and today I am willing to commit to training my mind to a different way of seeing using the workbook of A Course In Miracles. There are 365 lessons, one for each day and I am willing to practice them - one day at a time. I want to undo the way I am seeing now so I can see things differently and have the Peace that is our due and experience the miraculous mind of a mind aligned with the Joy of Reality and the Peace of God.

Tomorrow I begin at Lesson 1 - that I may learn to see I don't know anything and I don't know what's in my best interest and will bring me lasting happiness, joy without opposite and the deep abiding comfort of the One who rests in god - tomorrow I begin at Lesson 1 that I may learn to rely on and Trust the One within me who does know where my safety lies and where perfect happiness abides in Me.

So I'm going to blog to keep me on Course and use the Ones who have been given me to help me keep a straight line and walk steadily on to the recognition and full rememberance of our Holy Relationship. Thankyou.
