Word Games

Good Morning DearHearts,

Words are tricky little things.  They can be fun, clever, and obtuse or as Cher sings, “words are like weapons, they wound sometimes”.

How and why we use words can determine the effect they have on those who hear or read them.  A Course in Miracles instructs us that words are at best limited tools to use for limited communication. Words can be misunderstood.  This is an often unavoidable error. Only minds that are joined in purpose can actually perceive in unity. (As in One Unit)

I actually think its great fun to dissect words periodically to see an alternative meaning or use for them.  Since words are limitations, perhaps it’s possible to expand those limits and also have some fun.  Some of these alternate meanings have come to my awareness through other spiritual beings I have encountered.  Some of the acronyms have evolved through my experience.

So did you see that thing I just did a moment ago?

Unity = One Unit / Only One Thing / No Separation in Thought.

Here is my offering of a few more alternative definitions, with some apologies to  Merriam Webster.

Release = Real Ease.  Ease is the state we find ourselves in after we have let go of any situation that no longer is useful for our growth. Release.

History = His Story.  History is truly only a conglomeration of tales that have been penned by men or women and have now been accepted as true.  His story or Her Story.  Equal time for all.

Realize= A Course in Miracles teaches that Truth will dawn upon us. Each time anyone has one of those “Ah Ha” moments; that’s when the world is viewed with Real-Eyes.  It may only last a moment, but it is an indication that true vision is possible.

Resolve = Re Solve or to solve again.  There is a line in ACIM that asks “Is it not possible that all your problems have been solved, but you have removed yourself from the solution?”  Therefore, to resolve any problem or issue means we have chosen to redo that which has ALREADY been done.  Rather than to re-solve, we simply need to:

Recognize = the prefix “re” means “back”, “again” or “over again”.  So, to recognize is actually to Know Again That Which YOU Have Previously Known.

We recognize the Truth when we hear it because we have previously been introduced to it.  It is like welcoming back a dear friend.

Grievance = Grief Fence.  Any situation that is perceived as an injustice becomes a wall or block that is placed around our being.  The complaint or (first fencepost) will be transformed into a barrier or “fence” to keep any possible resolution (re-solving) at bay.  Therefore the grief will be contained so it can not escape and be healed, and Love will not be allowed to enter.

A Course in Miracles teaches that all darkness (grievances) must be brought to the light in order to be transformed back into the only Reality there is – LOVE.

Here are a few suggestions on how that is accomplished.

Courage = The root of this is couer, which means heart in French. Age is a period of time.  Courage is to stay in one’s heart for whatever period of time is required to face and heal the grief or challenge that is being experienced.  Dorothy maintained great courage during her Oz adventure.

Communication= The prefix of this word means to share or partake in common purpose.  All real communication is founded in the purpose of establishing or enhancing a unified knowledge or union.

Communion =  Ahh, there’s that unity/ union word again.  Co or com is to come together in a unified agreement.  Communion and communication are necessary for healing.  This can be accomplished through surrendering everything to Holy Spirit.  HS is always willing to join with us at whatever level we are able, at any given moment to assist in our healing.  Communion is His thing.

Of course it helps if we can be JOY-FULL and PEACE-FULL along the way. We can Inspire (breathe in the spirit) and be the change/ miracle for others.

And finally we can

R.E.S.T. = Remain Eternally Still Today

And

Lighten Up —Light comes IN we go UP.

Remember, We Can Receive the Unlimited LOVE of the Universe- If we want to.

In Love, Light and Peace
