“Laura has a way of selflessly guiding an individual to the truth
which resides within them. Her methods of speaking and teaching are gentle, yet confident, and I
believe she could easily hold an audience composed of scientific backgrounds, psychological backgrounds, spiritual
and/or religious backgrounds,
and children as well.

Intuition
At its core, intuition is not about a specific action/choice. Specific actions shift as our willingness to listen for perfect love and the holiness within ourselves and each other shifts. Intuition is about having the awareness in any triggered moment that ONLY PERFECT LOVE IS REAL and that this uncomfortable circumstance present in my life is reminding me that Truth/the awareness of who I really am and who my brother/sister really is, is blocked by an ancient resistance (a glob of goo) within my very own mind. My joy job now, in this moment, is to relax and remember I have amnesia and to focus on my breath (it's impossible to think when we focus on our breath). My joy job is to remember, no matter what the world around or within appears to be, I am cradled in Perfect Love. My joy job is to surrender my “thinking mind”--the one that is convinced of who or what is right and who or what is wrong. I am to not believe the glob of goo in my mind that cannot remember my true identity. I am to trust Truth/Source/Perfect Love knows everyone is Divine no matter how asleep and wild we’re behaving in our amnesic state. My joy job is to remember the Golden Rule.
I am to ask deeply within my heart for how to move within this moment with my equally Divine brother(s)/sister(s). The choice any of us are guided to make in any given moment by practicing in this way will be highly variable. Our job until we are awake is to continue to rest our mind, accept what comes, and trust it. We are not be attached to the outcome no matter how the world appears to look in any given moment. This is the purpose of Now. The only moment there is, and the closest we can get to eternity here inside the dream. It is wise to not fear fear. We are walking into the shadow with Perfect Love to realize the shadow never was.
Keep looking at the
bandaged place. That’s
where the light enters you.

We are the GOLD
that we seek.
Each of us deserves a witness to our Light.
Forgiving the whole dream
is only the beginning.

of value in
the world
is whatever
part of it you
look upon

Do we have infinite
separate and overwhelming conundrums in this world,
or a simple misunderstanding?
Consider Occam’s Razor,
the simplest explanation
is usually the right one.
Awakening from
the dream is a rigorous,
yet well-guided adventure.
Go into pain,
nature told the horse.
Monty Roberts, author,
The Man Who Listens to Horses
Looking directly at our pain, while knowing deep in our heart it is not real, and asking God to heal our mistaken mind causes a miracle beyond belief. This practice done any time we feel triggered reveals that we are not, nor have we
ever been, our pain.
“To say we want the
peace of God is nothing.
To mean it is everything.”
A Course in Miracles
Masters know that the world is not real, and that our only true value is more wondrous than we can possibly imagine. Before the sleeping will be convinced that only Love is real, we must surrender our fear of what will happen if we give into Love rather than our fear/reacting to the
dream-screen. Therefore, remembering to trust Love in every moment is our only real
work in the realm of time, space and form.
A Key & Good News:
Because we have
free will, we must
make the choice for Love in every moment we remember to do so, because this world was literally caused by a thought of resistance
to Love, to Source.
We wanted to try
“going it alone” - the prodigal Child - and we got our wish. For no truly loving Source would deny Its Child any experience it made
the wish to have.
In effect, we must ASK for help from Love to
“not continue”
to experience the effects of our wish.
Take even more heart! The wish to be separate, or go it alone, is only a dream. In truth, we’re all safely held in the grasp of Holy Spirit while we choose to stop wishing to go it alone.

WE ARE ON THE
QUEST OF ALL QUESTS
to restore the Truth to our memory that
we never left Paradise. While we sleep
a weary sleep, we rest whole and
unbroken within Perfect Love.
To reveal the Truth, forgive the whole dream
by remembering Love is the only answer.
And recall that your intuition has always
and will continue to guide you well.
Right now,
TRUTH is communicating
in all languages and through
all experiences to correct an ancient misunderstanding, an ancient amnesia of our
true identity. It’s time to undo the untrue. In this moment, will your heart to remember the Truth.
We are
PERFECT LOVE
HAPPY, WHOLE, INNOCENT,
ETERNAL and AT PEACE
...resting safely within...
PERFECT LOVE’S EMBRACE
All beliefs and manifestations that suggest otherwise are the result of confusion in the sleeping mind. A long time ago, we became profoundly stuck in our own play/dream. The more we do not believe the shame/guilt/fear/judgment/anger/etc. within our mind, the faster we wake up and the more helpful we become for others wanting to do the same. The body is a temporary vehicle. In Truth, we are pure, whole and perfect Spirit, an eternal and sacred manifestation of Perfect Love that can never be rendered imperfect, no matter our errors within the dream. Trust Love. Feel yourself being sung Home. Then, witness the miraculous unfolding.
Your life is your curriculum
to remember who you really are.
It is choreographed perfectly
to help restore your memory.
Now is the perfect and
only time there is
to wake up.
Laura Bedford has a deep understanding
and a gift for gently communicating why we continue
to struggle and not be at peace and in joy at all times.
Through talks, workshops, coaching and “InnerViews,”
she encourages individuals to connect with ancient wisdom
a contextual motivation, for entering the stillness
and dissolving the ancient misunderstanding.
There are only two thought trajectories. One is real. One is false.
It all comes down to trusting the trajectory of Love over the trajectory of unworthiness/shame/fear/guilt/anger and
judgment,Awakening will only and forever take place
within this moment. For, we are the Perfect Moment.
We are the Perfect Prayer. This never changes.
Adventures in Forgiving the Dream is meant to offer exceptional empowerment and profound comfort to weary hearts and minds. It is vital to clarify that suffering is defined as any experience that is not fully peaceful and joyful. That covers a lot of experiences. The reason why suffering of any kind [appears to] exist is written in ancient and current spiritual writings. This reason, and a powerful antidote (healing) for it, has been taught by Master teachers throughout time...the most well-known in my experience being Jesus, One who was fully aware that He was Holy, Perfect, Eternal and At Peace, no matter what the world around Him, and directly affecting the status of His physical body, appeared to be doing. And He knew in no uncertain terms this was true of all of us as well...our Perfect, Sinless, Eternal, Unchanging Wholeness. We put ourselves to sleep long ago. Now are being taught the Golden Rule of seeing only Divinity no matter what and forgiving the whole dream no matter what because doing this helps us wake up inside the paradise we never left. Suffering was never intended to be part of creation/life, even though it feels profoundly real. To our “ego” or the belief in our mind that is sure we are separate,” suffering feels undeniably real. The physical body is a holographic vehicle of expression and communication for exploration. The body, as such, is replaceable. What is not replaceable is the preciousness of what we are, and that we deserve to recall what we already feel so deeply every time we or another cry out in pain. When we cry out in pain, our Spirit is remembering that “something is just not right with this picture.” Collectively, we are remembering the Truth that suffering of any kind is not reality and that Paradise is merely veiled from our awareness by our fear of Love. Indeed, we are far more comfortable with our fear. We’ve manifested all sorts of systems to manage our fear. (If you are drawn, reflect on some of those “fear-management” systems for a moment without judging them. For, those systems are also helping us wake up.) What we fear most, unconsciously, is waking up inside the Paradise we never really left...because we’ve convinced ourselves, inside our amnesia, that this strange world is reality. This circumstance (our intense fear of waking up) is why compassion is important. We must be gentle with ourselves and each other as we increase our willingness to seek only Perfect Love, which naturally causes awakening. Indeed, with this knowledge in your conscious mind, pain now becomes a key indicator, a wondrous happy moment. For, it is in the pain moment where we can do what Jesus did. We can “give our cup of fear to God/Perfect Love”* rather than to react to the screen that remains convinced this is reality. And that screen (i.e., the bodies and circumstances in our lives) need our Love and trust in their perfection more than ever. Now is always the time for seeking Perfect Love. Now, in this moment and in every future moment, we can look inside for the Voice of Peace, our only Reality and our only Truth, for how to be truly helpful in each moment here inside the dream. Indeed, seeking the Voice of Peace in a pain/fear moment is an exceptionally alchemical time to heal, to ask Perfect Love to undo our fear.
Blessings Be. Only Perfect Love is real.
And, without exception, YOU ARE PERFECT LOVE.
Together are healing from the inside out,
clearing an ancient debris, and
lessening our fear of awakening
inside the Paradise we never really left.

With Adventures in Forgiving the Dream, we journey inward with a variety of fun, experiential tools to be reminded that all experiences are a gift to ourselves, even the painful ones, to show that we are perfect, whole and innocent, and nothing else, always and forever. We are learning to trust this truth as shared in sacred texts throughout the world, and within our very own hearts, until our mind comes to believe it - because we are so asleep. Guided by the Voice of Peace Within, come to understand how to hold the Truth, even while having an experience of the opposite.
********
Our confused/ego mind loves to convince us we’re less than WORTHY and less than ONE. It keeps us chasing our tails in the quest for Truth. Truth is, we never left God/Paradise. Paradise is merely veiled from our awareness because we got stuck inside
our own dream to “go it alone,” and now we’re convinced this world is reality. The fact is, we are experiencing an intense illusion within our mind that tries to convince us that we’re not ONE, not INNOCENT, not PERFECT, and definitely not WORTHY.
Rather than spending our time wishing for stuff that we already know won’t cause inner or world peace, Love teaches us to simply let go and forgive the whole dream with our whole heart. Rather than spending our time criticizing, we are asked to listen inside for our heart’s song. This heart song will lead
to happiness beyond our wildest imaginings.
Thought creates form and experience. Spiritual teachers have been sharing this for eons. Science confirms it. Since we cannot remember Truth, is it possible we created the universe after Source created us? Ask your heart the following questions. Why can’t I remember this Source, yet I love so deeply? Why does humanity suffer and “think poorly” of each other and of self if God is real? And, why, when we cry out to God, we often don’t
feel safe or helped instantaneously?
There is a simple explanation, and an easy way
to remember we never really left Home.
************
In our heart, we know something is not right in this world. We feel it in our body. We know it in our heart. We naturally sense a problem because we continue to experience and witness suffering and lack though we’ve been exploring peace for awhile now. To suffer is unnatural for Source and Its Offspring. Thankfully, it is true what sages have said for eons, and that science is revealing. We are inside a dream in the mind of this Offspring who is us. We are One appearing as many. And very own our thoughts of fear, guilt, judgment, shame...our belief that unworthiness of any sort is possible...is causing us to experience the world of separation. Holding a strong belief in the idea of separation naturally leads to suffering, and evidence is everywhere. By overlooking all error, mine, yours or another’s, even when we find it hard, is worth the effort. The memory of Truth returns to our awareness the more willing we become.
We’ll awaken eventually no matter what,
but for those who are curious about waking up
faster (i.e. ending suffering), we’ll explore
how forgiving the whole dream by following
the Golden Rule helps quicken awakening.
Even the smallest willingness to seek Perfect Love
inside an ego-story moment helps awaken the mind.
Witness the still small voice within growing larger.

What we’re remembering is that Perfect Love hasn’t forgotten us, rather we’ve mostly forgotten Perfect Love. We are experiencing an intense case of self-imposed amnesia. By exploring our stories and our Heart’s intuition, we ignite memory of how much we already remember of our true nature. During an “InnerView” with Laura, you will find yourself immersed in gratitude for you and those with whom you journey, recognizing that every circumstance, including profound challenges, are helping veils dissolve so that you are more able to recollect the Truth.
...Alchemy at its finest...
when two or more are gathered with the
willingness to listen deeply...a space is opened...
for the Truth...to be revealed.
The Human Antenna.
Most of us cannot remember much of our Source. An interesting case of amnesia. Thankfully, we have not been left without exceptional tools to remember our origin. For example, the ancients understood, and contemporary scientists and spiritualists are becoming aware, that the human form (and all life) serves as a highly refined antenna, and the brain is intended as a receiver and amplifier for Source thoughts, rather than as a thinking tool for individualized thought or thoughts-that-separate/veil-from-awareness our true One Holy Perfect Self. The cosmos and all life, including our human form, is an antenna that either tuned to Source or static (illusion/mistaken-mind) in any given moment. Humanity is learning how to listen, and when two or more gather, the result is astounding.
We always have access to all
we’ll ever need to know inside.
And, our life contains clues,
gifts, GOLD, to help
motivate an awakening.
Serve community by resting the mind.
Listening with the heart improves
our miracle working ability.
We are Perfect Love’s Prayer
who temporarily forgot Itself.
To awaken, ask Truth
to keep singing you home.
We must will ourselves to remember that what
was created perfect cannot be rendered
imperfect. Ever. In this way, we wake up
from an intense dream of what we are not.
