Understanding and Accepting the Chameleon Effect
CHAMELEON is the former designate of a time gone by for me. A former manager would often refer to me as a chameleon for my capacity to change my mind. It wasn’t always hedged in negative terms. Indeed, he would often be surprised how “God” would change my mind. Occasionally it was a witness of God’s ability to transform me by the renewing of my mind. But I also vacillated in that season of my life. And we can be forgiven for being in a period of vacillation where we might take the counsel of James 1:7-8 as rampant discouragement: “for the doubter, being double-minded and unstable in every way, must not expect to receive anything from the Lord.”

The Servant, the Showcase of God’s GloryFALLEN short, again. The words of Isaiah’s call seem to reflect so many little mirages and shattered fragments of my life. So many times my tongue is salacious and my lips are filthy. All because I look at all the wickedness around me and I find such fault with it that it affects me; I am drawn into it! I find I cannot reconcile it and I get utterly forlorn when all I seek is to be in an environment of 24/7 honesty and authenticity breeding inviolable trust and consummate respect – the perfect world of love. The witness of crooked tongues, and lives set on controlling others, are my torment and death. And yet, in my despondency I become the one who is crooked, for I cuss like a demon. Woe is me! I am lost, for I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips… Yet (if I cast my mind back) my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!

To Value Suffering or KindnessAs students of A Course in Miracles (ACIM), we seldom ask ourselves what we value and even then, we most certainly will not admit to finding value in fear, guilt, anxiety, attack, judgment, punishment, pain and suffering. Such insanity is prized above all else because we believe we deserve punishment. Consider the song, “Amazing Grace” which has a line, “That saved a wretch like me.” According the ego, we are such a poor, unhappy, despicable and contemptible person (a wretch), i.e., guilty and thus deserving of punishment. A barrage of attacks maintains this illusion and hence why the Course says attack must be relinquished entirely (T-7.VI.1) as it is of the ego and seeing value in suffering. We always keep what we value.
