LESSON 68 Love holds no grievances. 1. You who were created by love like itself can hold no grievances and know your Self. To hold a grievance is to forget who you are. To hold a grievance is to see yourself as a body. To hold a grievance is to let the ego rule your mind and to condemn the body to death. Perhaps you do not yet fully realize just what holding grievances does to your mind. It seems to split you off from your Source and make you unlike Him. It makes you believe that He is like what you think you have become, for no one can conceive of his Creator as unlike himself. 2. Shut off from your Self, which remains aware of Its likeness to Its Creator, your Self seems to sleep, while the part of your mind that weaves illusions in its sleep appears to be awake. Can all this arise from holding grievances? Oh, yes! For he who holds grievances denies he was created by love, and his Creator has become fearful to him in his dream of hate. Who can dream of hatred and not fear God? 3. It is as sure that those who hold grievances will redefine God in their own image, as it is certain that God created them like Himself, and defined them as part of Him. It is as sure that those who hold grievances will suffer guilt, as it is certain that those who forgive will find peace. It is as sure that those who hold grievances will forget who they are, as it is certain that those who forgive will remember. 4. Would you not be willing to relinquish your grievances if you believed all this were so? Perhaps you do not think you can let your grievances go. That, however, is simply a matter of motivation. Today we will try to find out how you would feel without them. If you succeed even by ever so little, there will never be a problem in motivation ever again. 5. Begin today’s extended practice period by searching your mind for those against whom you hold what you regard as major grievances. Some of these will be quite easy to find. Then think of the seemingly minor grievances you hold against those you like and even think you love. It will quickly become apparent that there is no one against whom you do not cherish grievances of some sort. This has left you alone in all the universe in your perception of yourself. 6. Determine now to see all these people as friends. Say to them all, thinking of each one in turn as you do so: I would see you as my friend, that I may remember you are part of me and come to know myself. Spend the remainder of the practice period trying to think of yourself as completely at peace with everyone and everything, safe in a world that protects you and loves you, and that you love in return. Try to feel safety surrounding you, hovering over you and holding you up. Try to believe, however briefly, that nothing can harm you in any way. At the end of the practice period tell yourself: Love holds no grievances. When I let all my grievances go I will know I am perfectly safe. 7. The short practice periods should include a quick application of today’s idea in this form, whenever any thought of grievance arises against anyone, physically present or not: Love holds no grievances. Let me not betray my Self. In addition, repeat the idea several times an hour in this form: Love holds no grievances. I would wake to my Self by laying all my grievances aside and wakening in Him.
Transcription: You are blessed beings indeed! I am that one that you know as Jesus, and of course, here in these lessons we are speaking about the goal of ultimate forgiveness, the fact that your mind will be free and clear of absolutely all grievances. Love holds no grievances - that is true, and if you hold grievances you will have what feels like a little infection in the mind, a little worm in your head that keeps going on about something. "Love holds no grievances" does not mean - and this is an important thing here - it does not mean that you are a doormat. This is something that many beings on a spiritual path have to learn the hard way. It is okay for you to choose the path that you want to take. It is okay for you to decide that you would like to experience something that somebody else does not want you to experience. Having a disagreement with someone is not necessarily a grievance. The grievance comes when you are unforgiving because they are different than you. It means that the argument keeps going on in your mind, that you keep revisiting and rehashing in your head what you said, and what they said, and why they should do this, and why you're allowed to do that. It's a back and forth kind of energy. You can, as a free being that is creative, choose a path that you want to walk along. You can do it lovingly. You can do it with open communication, and you are free to choose what it is that you would like to do, and you will experience the consequences of that choice. "Love holds no grievances" means that you can see somebody walking a different path than you and say, "Well done, you! Well done for choosing what is right for you. I'm over here choosing what is right for me!" And that is one of the confusing things about love's definition in your society, because you believe that to love someone, you have to sacrifice what you believe in, and this breeds grievances. This breeds resentment. When you sacrifice yourself because you think what somebody else wants is more important than your choice based on a loving interpretation of your experience, then you are going to suffer. We want you to understand that "love holds no grievances" does not mean that you have to be imprisoned. It does not mean that you have to sacrifice yourself, and it does not mean that you have to do as you are told by other people. I am that one that you know as Jesus, and we will speak to you again tomorrow.
Hello Ian ! ACIM says ''Nothing appends for nothing''. So, I believe that Tina posts one lesson in advance so you have some more hours to transcript Jesus'message. He his very ingenius this Jesus of us. That is why we love him so much !
Thank you Tina, just know that your dedication from 5 years ago is still so cherished and appreciated. This message was uncannily synchronistic and your dog barking at the perfect time, the words that O actually needed to rewind and listen one more time bc it was the answer to my early morning question. You are precious. I’ve been following you now since just before Covid, a quiet follower. Many blessings. ❤️🌷
"Love holds no grievances" includes your dog barking. We like it! Delphi is barking of her own free will and at her right timing. Thank you Tina and brother Jesus.
Go Delphie! Tina your dog is awesome. I would love to see more of him/her. Please absolutely no worries about your dog! I’m so happy you keep him with you. They want to be with us so thank you for that. Sending much love to you and Delphie!!!!
The synchronicity of my life is so beautiful right now. Jesus words were exactly what I needed to hear today. I am one of those that was very confused with loving and forgiving people. Today I get to show up as a loving presence in the lives of those people that I meet and my loved ones; and I get to do it in such a way it is empowering to me and to them. Thank you Jesus thank you Tina.❤️❤️❤️🙏 Happy Saturday everyone
Somewhere along the line it occurred to me to let go of any grievances I hold against myself. Not major grievances mind you, but nagging thoughts like ‘not being good enough’ and ‘ should work harder’ etc....
I love the addition of your Doggie, so cute and harkening at the perfect moment. Pure Love in the 4 legged's, feathered, and wild creatures who know no grievances, they are our great teachers.
Delphi just wants to be with her owner's and Jesus' loving Presence 😊💖 .I love seeing her nosing around. What a lovely creature of God. Please let her be with you both and all of us here 😊Today is a very important and hard lesson for the ego mind who is very fond of holding grievances in order to keep us safe and protected from future hurts and pains but keep us locked up in the same prison of condemnation and judgement of those others who hurt us in the past. When we learn to see them all as part of our Self and unable to cause us pain then the ilusions of the past dissolve and we see us all remaining innocent children of God as He created us in His image and sees all of His creation as innocent as Himself.
68❤Love holds no grievances. JC-The goal of absolute forgiveness. It does not mean that you are a doormat. I can choose a path that I would like to do and be ❤. This does not mean that you have to stay because someone tells you that they don’t want to do that same thing as you.
I absolutely love that you have recorded these videos. I find them so helpful and I’m not sure how I would get thru it without them, so thank you. And btw the dog barking makes me feel right at home as I have 2 that always bark right in the middle of whatever I’m doing that I think requires quiet 💗💗💗
Godt gjort å klare å fortsette å kanalisere når hunden bjeffer. Ellers tusen takk for alt arbeide du har lagt ned for verden. Endelig tar jeg dette kurset etter å ha prøvd i to tre år. Nå var tiden moden til å være konsekvent. Så tusen takk💗🙏
Delphi brought us to attention, as if intentionally telling us to focus because she is in agreement with the lesson. We love her participation and your shared love of animals makes you more endearing to us, Tina. 💖🐶
Thank you Tina and Jesus! Every day is building on the next with these lessons. They are very enlightening. And Tina, we all have lives and if we are here and a little barking bothers us then we are not learning what we should. Much love to you and Jesus, and Delfie! :))
Hi Tina, glad you let us all "see your life as it is" after all that's the reality of all of our lives, so a good example to set I feel. Very big and powerful lesson for me today! And all of us that can be "right fighter's" at times! 😔These teachings are doing so much for me and I'm sure all who have "found" them, thank you. 🙏💖
If I learn nothing else than this Lesson, my life has been more than worthwhile. This is IT! I can now finally forgive because it feels absolutely true and without a squeezy feeling of unnaturalness generated by misunderstanding.
The thumbs down person should review and review and review these lessons and if they do not resonate move on my friend...Bless you Tina thank you so much for your work.
Tina I am so grateful for theses readings and your courage to tune in and share. Today’s was especially what was needed for me to hear. Your work is truly appreciated. Thank you.
Hi teacher, what a wonderful lesson that was thank you very much Tina for all you do I send you love and peace my teacher my friend my sister namaste😃🍎
Hálásan köszönöm ezeket a leckéket. Sérelem akkor ér bennünket, ha hallgatunk az egónkra, és nem vagyunk tisztában azzal, hogy valójában kik vagyunk. Mi dönthetjük el, hogy a sérelmeket elfogadjuk-e, vagy túllépünk rajta, mert ismerjük magunkat. A feltétel nélküli szeretet, megtanít bennünket arra is, hogy fogadjuk, el nem vagyunk egyformák, mindannyian a fejlődés útját járjuk.
Hey Tina my name is Judey I do love these lessons more than you can understand every day and I look forward to the changes that I still imagine as long as I just do the steps it’s just so cool but I wanted to ask you a question this sound that you have in the beginning of your videos have you ever thought of maybe considering a higher vibration sound of some kind I’m always turning it down I turned it back up because it sounds creepy to me almost like chiller Theatre I don’t know if you would recognize what that is in this country from a long time ago and I’m 61 now .. I’m wondering if you’ve considered something uplifting sounding ?

Thank-you

Gotta love the dogs! I was listening to a guided meditation for ACIM Lesson 67 yesterday, and her dog was barking also. 😆

Timing...😁❤️✨ I started my day with a grievance and thought how weird. I’m usually better at working that out but not today. Then I listened to this.😁
thank you tina and Jesús for this❤. the doormat issue is very well explained
Just this morning I was repeating, dislike the behavior not the person. Love the person!
Thank you for your incredible life changing work! 🙏☮️🥰 ...and loved Delphi’s bark.

Dog barking at jesus!!! Love her.

If I learn nothing else than this Lesson, my life has been more than worthwhile. This is IT! I can now finally forgive because it feels absolutely true and without a squeezy feeling of unnaturalness generated by misunderstanding.
My infinite gratitude and love Tina and Jesus. Blessings to all. 🌷💕🦋

Wow did I need this.
❤️❤️❤️

This lesson reminds me of Festivus off of the show Seinfeld. If only Frank could have let go of his grievances, what a life George might have had. 😂
the dog has a grievance. LOL
