TAINTERS ANONYMOUS ~ SATURDAY EVENINGS 7PM ET ~ JOYn Us

The only requirement for membership is the desire to stop giving meaning to the meaningless.

 

Now people have been asking me what does `Taint' mean?  I was thinking of how we color, stain, or give meaning to the meaningless.  Here is the dictionary's definition of the word `taint'.  Forget the noun, move down to the verb references, for we are no taint (chuckling here); we are The Holy Son of God.  And if you, like myself would rather see The Christ in your Brother, and your Holiness enveloping everything you see, please come and join us this SATURDAY NIGHT.

 

I have been guided to share and receive more on how A Course in Miracles and The Twelve Steps are complimentary, and very helpful in regards to bringing on the miracle, once we are willing to Let Go and Let God.  Bring on the Shifts!!! I say.  We had a wonderful kick-off for this new weekly event, and I would like to Thank everyone who participated, for their willingness and open-ness.  I Love You.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

So if you are sick of looking through those same old tainted SON-glasses, and would rather SEE The Great Rays, the SON Shining brightly, Let's join in purpose and strengthen our Decision as ONE, that "We are determined to see" and together experience that Miracles abound, and can be experienced whenever the need for one arises in our awareness once we are willing to lay down the rest, and embrace the correction in our mind.

 

We have become so identified with our assumptions about ourselves, and with the value we place on these thoughts we assume to be our Truth, we don't remember how, of ourselves to merely rest, to stop giving meaning to the meaningless.  It is as if we are compelled to do so, and is very much like to an addiction.  Our assumptions, our beliefs, our judgments, all the thoughts we think we think and all that we think we know make up the building blocks of the world we think we see.  If we are not experiencing miracles as commonplace, and natural, we are not letting go.  It's as simple as that.  When we are entirely ready to Let Go, and Let God; the Miracle, the Holy Shift, or the Holy Hey Presto as I affectionately like to call it WILL dawn within our Holy Mind.

 

Let's face it.  We can't do this on our own.  We need help.  And all the help we need is but awaiting our invitation and willingness to own, that we ARE responsible for what we see and experience, and that we don't have the faintest clue how to fix it ourselves.  Once we are willing to accept this, accept defeat, and Surrender, and to instead place it on the Alter within our mind and make the decision to turn our Will, our lives, and the healing of our minds over to the care of God, we will find the Peace of God and Serenity as promised in A Course in Miracles and 12 step programs.  Once we are willing to allow The Holy Spirit, God of our understanding, or Higher Power to decide for God for us, we will be in the Almighty flow of the tide which carries us gently, lovingly and swiftly into the arms of Love Eternal Presence.  WE NEED DO NOTHING, but we do need help to stop giving meaning to the meaningless, that we may do nothing.

 

I Hope to see you all there next Saturday Night.  For those who have asked, I will be posting in the next couple of days, a copy of the Twelve Steps as applied to the above.  An expansion with Jesus's help of what David has already posted.

 

I LOVE YOU ALL, Nicole (LovingSonShine)
