Another word for judgement might be "narrowing". You narrow your mind down from wholeness by separating something out, sectioning it off from the rest. But to do this requires you to split your mind. Your mind in wholeness sees...
Safety is an important aspect of reality. Where there is fear you can't feel safe. Where there is love you are safe and protected.
We might not realize it, but if you are separate or distanced from God in...
Just recently I've been rediscovering an increased awareness of love, which includes receiving love from God and experiencing it within myself - in the heart. When I feel this, any sense of loss and grief disappears, I feel literally more...
A sense of loss comes from the belief that something you value is lost.
Ultimately the only way you can lose something is if you believe part of WHAT YOU ARE is lost.
Whatever you value you identify with and...
When we think of having lost someone, we might think of it in terms of ... they have gone away. And therefore I have lost them.
But I've been seeing that what really happens is ... we come...
The trend I see in ACIM is an unequivocal all-or-nothing "siding with God". A total commitment to his reality, truth, laws, and thought system. Being of God and not of this world.
If you imagine that this world doesn't...
Here is a hard fact: "A Son of God is happy ONLY when he knows he is WITH God."
That is literally saying, if you don't have God, you CANNOT be happy. The ONLY way to be happy is...
ACIM suggests something far more radical than we might fully realise: absolutely everything you experience is chosen, and you can choose what happens and not just your reaction to what happens.
If you start to tell yourself, I am...
In this world, nothing gets done unless you put in some effort. And that's a chore, meaning that making stuff requires work. This isn't really natural to us - we are creators. We should be able to cause things...
I'm noticing quite a lot of ways in which our "sympathies" about victims are being uprooted in ACIM.
Where we might've bought into and felt sorry for someone who is going through difficulties or having pains or a sickness...
When you chose to believe in being separate from God, you chose to make a thought system and world opposite to God.
That world did not have any choice of ITS OWN to determine its nature or functioning. You...
sThe world in itself is altogether intolerable. It was designed to be a place of limitations and difficulties and problems.
As Jesus says,"Seek not ESCAPE from problems here. The world was made that problems could not BE escaped."
That means...
Fact is, we're not even really supposed to be in this world at all. We invented it to try to hide from God, as an attack on God. And we're still hiding. It is not our home and it...
Although God's kingdom is a state of changelessness and permanence, THIS world isn't. This world is a world of shifts and changes, transformations, beginnings and endings. Nothing here remains the same whatsoever.
In and of itself this wouldn't be...
I've been having a lot of deep insight lately about cause and effect and taking back my power, so I want to share some more on this. This may be a little lengthy so bear with me.
When we...
Freedom of Choice > Responsibility > Power > Causation > Effects.
To simplify, think of cause and effect. You are either the cause, or the effect. If you see yourself as the cause, you cannot be an effect. Your...
"Loss is not loss when properly perceived. Pain is impossible. There is no grief with any cause at all and suffering of any kind is nothing but a dream."
I had to think a bit on this one.
It...
I've been looking at this closely because I want to find out how this course is supposed to be applied, without a bypass and without denial.
At first I recognised that there was a whole lot of spiritual bypassing...
"Hold onto nothing."
Loss is self-induced suffering. It is a feeling of not getting what you want, like a childish temper tantrum. It's produced by the demand that things should be the way you want them to be, at...
It is very important in the development of trust, that we learn to make room for SPIRIT in our lives and hand over the responsibility for decision making to the Holy Spirit. This means ASKING the Holy Spirit WHAT...
