Hello jeanettejoy@...,
In reference to your comment:
è After all the years of practicing the Course I am
è amazed at my efforts in wanting to know
è God.
That mindset does not work for me.? Most of my life I have been seeking God, or so I thought.? Tried this, tried that.? Then I stumble upon a thought system that says I really don't want to know God (then the lightbulbs went off).? I accepted a thought system that taught me to be fearful of him, and I have taken on a belief system (ego) that makes him a fearful, vendictive god, someone who wants sacrifice, has an attitude, moody? (loves you one minute? .. then turns his back the next)
I could go on and on.
At least with the Course I understand that God is none of those things .. And God is unchanging ... etc.? It is me who has to change.?
But I am stubborn, used to things a certain way and I just find it fascinating how I am determined to do things my way before I finally come up with the thought .. there is a better way.
But I am patient and I will get it .. that is God's guaranty.
Peace
