DOING THE WORK
CLEARING NEGATIVE SELF-BELIEFS
This week we will identify and clear negative self-beliefs. A negative self belief is a thought form held in consciousness that gives rise to or supports negative feeling about who you are, what you do or what you are capable of being, doing or having.
EX. I believe I am fat. I believe I am ugly. I believe I am impatient.
CALLING IN
Using a sheet of lined paper, write 9 or more negative beliefs you hold about yourself beginning with the words:
"I believe . . ."
When you are complete with writing these statements, go back, cross each statement out and write the following words; "I forgive myself" over the crossed out statement.

 Freedom is a state of being in which all experiences are viewed as opportunities for healing, personal growth, and natural development in alignment with universal law and Divine will. Freedom is demonstrated as a state of internal well-ness, and external congruency. The intent is to support the individual in realizing a state of physical, mental, and emotional freedom, which supports positive action toward a desired intention. When an individual becomes able to regard the self as both one with God and as an individual personality/ expression of God, the experience is one of freedom. Attachment and bondage to the perceived limitations of the physical human expression are the result of mental and emotional misinter-pretations. Freedom, therefore, is the knowing and embracing of truth to such a degree that you are able to cooperate with the flow of God within your being. Freedom is a function of con- sciousness. When the conscious mind releases all attachment to form and outcome, the experience is called freedom. Those who know their oneness with God have no fears. Freedom, therefore, is the absence of fear. |

PRAYER TO RELEASE CONDEMNATION
"Only my condemnation injures me."
A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 198
Mother Mary, full of grace! All the virtues of a wise and love filled mother come from you.
Service, tender strength, patience, kindness, courage, discipline and joy are just a few that come to mind. You are the example for us all.
I seek to practice the lessons you have given us.
I seek to be less judging and more patient.
I seek to be of service, putting aside my pride and practicing humility.
I seek to be kind in my relationships, practicing love.
I seek to draw on courage for those moments when I stand in truth.
I seek to be disciplined in my words and actions.
I seek to refrain from gossip.
I seek the wisdom to look for the good in me and all others and focus on that today.
I ask that you pour your light into me and all humans on this earth.
I ask that the world leaders be filled with your light and love as they negotiate solutions for the current circumstances.
May they release condemnation on all sides and seek understanding, respect and peace.
Let it be so. And so it is.
Rev. Terrie Bowling

Right here and right now, I release
the self-imposed chains that hold
me down and walk consciously
into the light of freedom.
Today I am liberated from the
tyranny of my negative
thoughts. I am now free of
all doubt, worry, and anxiety.
In this moment I am newly born
into the spirit of freedom.
Today I declare my independence
and celebrate the good in my life.
Right now I release the fear that
holds me hostage and
proclaim my independence.
Right here and right now I remove
all barriers to love, joy, peace,
harmony and vibrant health.
In this now moment I turn to
the Divine within me and
recognize that freedom is
my natural state of being.

Do we choose for ourselves that which we truly desire?Under most of the normal conditions and pressures of life, we do not. We allow labels and expectations to keep us in boxes, then we cry out for freedom. The entire purpose of life on earth is for us to be free, exercise free will, and choose the parameters of our freedom.
. . .
Freedom is a state of mind. It is the outgrowth of our willingness to make conscious choices of our own free will and to live through the consequences of our choices without blame, shame, or guilt. Freedom is a sign of self-awareness. When you are aware of what it takes to maintain your mental, emotional, and physical well-being and you make conscious choices toward that goal, you are exercising your freedom.Freedom is the recognition of the truth.
. . .
You are powerful.You are unlimited. You are the reflection of creative genius. When you realize this truth and accept it as a fact of your reality, you know that you are free to choose whatever you believe to be the truest reflection of your identity. Freedom requires consistent and repeated acts of courage.
. . .
What you believe, how you feel, what you do, how you respond to any given circumstance at any given time is the only impediment to freedom. You are always free to choose how you will respond.
. . .
Are you courageous enough to live the truth of your desires without fear? This is what will determine your freedom. . . . More important, once you are clear about the experience you want to have, you are free to make the choices that will result in your having that experience.
. . .
When I realized that God, the divine source of life, not people, was the source and substance of all good things, I was freed from every "ism" that held me captive.
