Rhyme and Rhythm of Reality

“...start speaking the truth...”

I would like to invite you  to look at and understand the way in which the use of language in A Course In Miracles, for both the written as well as the spoken word, causes an illumination of the mind.

The function of beauty that expresses itself through, in between and underneath the lines that you read or speak is where our focus will be. We look at the Rhythm of Reality.

We repeat certain patterns of grammatical structure to undo the dense structure in which we contain ourselves. Beauty and real freedom of the mind, reveals itself beyond the form but not without using the form in its fullest capacity.


So we look at prose and poetry from A Course In Miracles, and look at the power of your choice to start speaking the truth instead of uttering grievances. We use Rhythm to loosen the tight chain of conceptual thinking that is entirely habitual.

“...vibrating in a higher frequency.”

We break this chain through mere repetition. We read, hear and speak these new revelatory ideas over and over in order to remember and familiarize ourselves again with the truth that we denied.

Since our Reality is spiritual we cannot maintain the dense "life-form" called our body in which we attempt to be autonomous and alone.

If we ask for the Light of Reality we will find we start vibrating in a higher frequency . We acquire faster rhythms of life and become joyful in the extension of our new realisation that indeed we are not dead bodies. We are activated in this bright light of reality, are converting the lower frequencies of guilt and fear and allow our bodies to take on incorruption.
We are loosing the stories we told ourselves in prosaic ways and the make belief in which we tried to hold on to the belief that we could actually exist without knowing who we are.

From these irregular rhythmic patterns of human nature expressed in the drama and comedy of prose we move into the acceptance of Reality as it truly is, the way we truly are.

We express this certainty, this knowledge, this unmovable clarity through poetry. In the recognition of the harmonic substance of our relationship with the universe, we have no choice except to be alive and lively proclaim the beauties of the Real World.


“...the music of the celestial...”

We accelerate in our ascent towards the music of the celestial and integrate this speed-up when we bring the light into inspiring and poetic, rhythmic means of expression.We are here to carry the light and that always means to embody that self-same light. We learn more about the power of thought and the responsibility we have for the thoughts we share with our Self when we speak.

We come to see the totality of what it is we carry with us through our thoughts and in our minds whether we believe these thoughts are private or not. They are expressed whether you believe that you have any control over your thoughts or not. They are either contained within the body which will make you teach anger, guilt, depression and unhappiness. Or you accept this new pulsating activity of the universe in which you are repeatedly undone of these meaningless thoughts.

“...you are teaching love...” 

Now you are teaching love through the fearless act of releasing your inner light by exposing these thoughts. You are always teaching. And what it is you teach, you think you are. What it is you choose is what your experience will be or become.

Allow the Rhyme and Rhythm of Reality to katalyse your experience of the lucid nature in which you express the Way, the Truth and the Life that you are.
