My PURPOSE--- R.A.N.
For a long time now, I have been floating in a state of limbo.
Not knowing my true purpose in life.
The journey began with the whole University experience.
Concordia University in Montreal to be exact.
It is the experiences learned there that truly mattered.
Not the material that I memorized from some book.
I than took the next step by joining the corporate world.
Until I had a perception changing realization one day.
The realization that the corporate world is not for me.
So, I chose a job to keep me afloat, till I find my true purpose.
Well...I think it has come to me.
We are each put on this earth, to learn the lessons hidden in each and every single experience.
In learning these lessons, we begin to AWAKEN.
AWAKEN from the DREAM of DISILLUSION that has become our REALITY.
AWAKEN from the DREAM of DISILLUSION that has become our REALITY.
As we have each forgotten the TRUTH.
The TRUTH that there is only ONE life.
For we are all connected.
All...
Humans.
Animals.
Plants.
Nature.
All is ONE.
There is only ONE MIND.
There is only ONE POWER.
There is only ONE LIFE.
That is EVERY WHERE PRESENT.
ALL KNOWING.
ALL POWERFUL.
YOU are ONE with all this POWER, KNOWLEDGE, PRESCENCE, LOVE, PEACE, JOY, ABUNDANCE, HEALTH, PROSPERITY...
There are many that know this TRUTH.
Only a few that LIVE this TRUTH.
Those that do, have reached a stage of enlightenment``.
Now I`m not saying that we all need to evolve.
For it is no easy feat-for the faint at heart.
I am however saying that we are also connected through CONCIOUSNESS.
All it takes is one to AWAKEN, to help AWAKEN ALL.
That`s when I realized my purpose.
My purpose is to continue being ME.
For we are each put on this earth for a reason, as we are all part of the intricate blueprint of LIFE.
Mine is to continue EVOLVING.
Continue ASCENDING.
In turn continue to SHINE my light bright.
In doing so, I will help bring LIGHT to the CLOUD OF ILLUSION that encompasses this world.
I am nowhere near enlightened.
However I`m getting there.
One step at a time.
As my consciousness level increases, I help increase the universal level of consciousness.
This is why I

I realize that it`s the little thing that count.
Just as much as the big ones-which are still under way.
We are each put on this earth to SHINE OUR LIGHT.
So please.
Start shining yours.

A course in Miracles-- What it says
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.
* Knowledge is truth, under one law, the law or love of God.
* Truth is unalterable and eternal.
* It can be unrecognized but it can't be changed.
* It applies to everything that God created, and everything he created is real.
* Truth is beyond learning because it is beyond time and process.
* It has no opposite, no beginning and no end. It merely is.
* The world or perception is the world of time, change, beginnings and endings.
It is based on interpretation not on facts.
* It is the world of birth and death founded on the belief of scarcity, loss, separation and death.
* It is learned rather than given, unstable in its functioning and inaccurate in its interpretations.
* In the realm of Truth/knowledge no thought exist apart from God, because God and his creation share one will.
* The world of perception is made by the belief in opposites and separate wills, in perpetual conflict with each other and with God.
* What perception sees and hears appears to be real because it permits into awareness only what conforms to the wishes of the perceive
* This leads to a world of illusions, a world which needs constant defense precisely because it is not real.
* When you are caught in the world of perception, you are caught in the world of dream. You cannot escape without help because everything your senses show merely witnesses to the reality of the dream.
* God has provided the answer, the way out, through his voice, his holy spirit whose function is to meditate between the two worlds.
* The spirit teaches us how to reverse our thinking and unlearn our mistakes.
*Forgiveness is the Holy Spirit’s great learning aid in bringing the reversal about.
* The world we see merely reflects our own internal framework of reference- the dominant ideas, wishes, and emotions in our minds.
*Projection makes perception
* We look inside first, decide the kind of world we want to see and then project that world outside, making it the truth as we see it.
*we make it true by our interpretation of what we are seeing.
* If we are using perceptions to justify our own mistakes- anger, impulses to attack, our lack of love in whatever form it may take we will see a world of evil, destruction, envy, despair and malice.
*All this we must learn to forgive not because we are being kind and charitable but because we realize that what we are seeing is not true.
* We have distorted the world by our own twisted defenses, and are therefore seeing what is not there.
* As we learnt to recognize our perpetual errors, we also learn to look past them or forgive.
*At the same time we are forgiving ourselves, looking past our distorted self concepts to the Self That God created in us and as us.
* Sin is defined as lack of love. Since love is all there is, sin in the sight of the Holy Spirit is a mistake to be corrected rather than an evil to be punished.
* Our sense of inadequacy, weakness, and in completion comes from the strong investment in the scarcity principle that governs the whole world of illusions. From that point of view, we seek IN OTHERS WHAT WE FEEL IS WANTING IN OURSELVES. That, in fact, is what passes for love in the dream world.
* There can be no bigger mistake than that as love in incapable of asking for anything.
* Only at the level of Christ mind is true union possible.
*the little I seeks to enhance itself by external approval, possessions and love. The self that GOD created needs nothing. It is forever complete, safe, and loved and loving. It seeks to share rather than get, to extend rather than project; it has no needs or wants to join others out of their mutual awareness of abundance.
* The relationships in the world are destructive, selfish and childishly egocentric. Yet if given to the Holy Spirit, these relationships can become the holiest things on earth.
* The world uses its special relationships as a final weapon of exclusions and a demonstration of separateness. The Holy Spirit transoms them into perfect lessons in forgiveness and in awakening from the dream.
* Each relationship is an opportunity to let perceptions be healed and errors corrected.
* Each one id another change to forgive oneself by forgiving the other.
*Perceptions is a function of the body. And therefore represents a limit on awareness. Perceptions see and hear through the eyes and ears of the body. It evokes the limited responses which the body makes. The body appears to be largely self motivated and independent, when in fact, it responds to the intentions of the mind. If the mind wants to use if for attack in any form, it falls victim go sickness, age and decay. If the mind accepts the Holy Spirit's purpose for it instead, it becomes a useful way of communicating with others, invulnerable as long as it is needed, and gently laid when its use is over. Of itself it is neutral, as is everything in the world of perceptions. Whether it is used for the goals of the ego or Holy Spirit depends entirely on what the mind wants.
* The opposite of seeing through the body's eyes is the vision of Christ, which reflects strength rather than weakness, unity rather than separation and love rather than fear. The opposite of hearing through the body's ears is communication through the Voice for God, the Holy Spirit, which abides in each of us. His voice seems distant and difficult to hear because the ego, which speaks for the little, separated self, seems to be much louder. This is actually reversed. The spirit speaks with unmistakable clarity and overwhelming appeal.
* No one who does not choose to identify with the body could possibly be deaf to his messages of release and hope, nor could he fail to accept joyously the vision of Christ in glad exchange for his miserable picture of himself.
*Christ's vision is the Holy Spirit' gift, God's alternative to the illusion of separation and to the belief in the reality of sin, guilt and death.
It is the one correction for all errors of perception. It is the light that shows things from another perspective.
*What was regarded as injustices done to one by someone else now becomes a call for help and union. Sin, sickness, and attack are seen as misperceptions calling for remedy through gentleness and love.
*Defenses are laid down because where there is no attack there is no need for them.
* Our brother's needs become our own, because they are taking the journey with us as we go to GOD. Without us, they would lose their way, without them, we would not find our own.
*Forgiveness is unknown in Heaven, where the need for it would be inconceivable. Howe ever in this world, forgiveness is a necessary correction for all the mistakes that we have made. To offer forgiveness is the only way for us to have it, for it reflects the law of Heaven that giving and receiving are the same.
* Heaven is the natural state of all the Sons of God as he created them.
*Such is the reality forever. It has not changed because it has been forgotten.
*Forgiveness is the means by which we will remember. Through forgiveness the thinking of the world is reversed. The forgiven world becomes the gate of Heaven,because by its mercy we can at last forgive ourselves. Holding no one prisoner to guilt, we become free.
* Acknowledging Christ in all our brothers, we recognize his presence in ourselves.
*Forgetting all our misperceptions, and with nothing from the past to hold us back, we can remember GOD.
*When we are ready, GOD himself will take the final step to our return to Him.
