Who Do You Typically Turn to in a Time of Need?

by Rev. Nancy Miiller

For quite some time I had been feeling a growing sense of release building within. Typically, I say it starts in my toes and works its way upward until I feel it beginning to crescendo. I had been experiencing elements of intense fear coming out of nowhere and in very strange situations, seemingly to have no relationship at all.

My emotions seemed to be at a critical peak as well. Many times to the point of feeling that at any moment I may burst into tears, for no reason at all. These were the ‘symptoms’ that I experience when I know that I am ready to release something big.

It’s important to note that many times it is not necessary for us to know the details of why or what for. Those are typical ego thoughts to keep us perpetuating separation. The real question to ask yourself is, “Are you ready and willing to let go?”

For a couple weeks I had been working through A Course in Miracles Workbook, lessons 281-290, starting with ‘7. What is the Holy Spirit?’ (W. 437) Each day I read, ‘What is the Holy Spirit?’ and then proceeded to each subsequent lesson.

For each lesson I focused on the Truth about my Self in God and forgiving all thoughts that are not in alignment with Oneness in Heaven. Working with these lessons and using forgiveness shook something deep within and each day the feelings of upcoming release were building intensely.

Last Friday, I just happened to pick up the newspaper, something I rarely do. A title caught my eye and I began to read. Horror filled my mind as I read about people I knew who, according to the world of form, had done something wrong. Needless to say my mind raced with all kinds of questions and fear overwhelmed me. My ego was having a heyday and this pretty much took the cake.

The following morning I awoke with sadness, fear, anxiety and you name it! At the same time I knew enough was enough of my ego projecting my unconscious guilt.

I began reading my lesson, starting with ‘7. What is the Holy Spirit?’ and as I read, “And if you offer them to Him, He will employ the means you made for exile to restore your mind to where it truly is at home.” (W.pII.7.3:3), the words ‘you made for exile’ stood off the page as if they were in 3D. At that instant, I recognized and felt the power of the Holy Spirit speaking to me to remember what I had to do.

I recognized that I had made my own exile, which is a very fearful place; it was all I had seen and experienced in this world that blocked me from feeling the peace of God within. It is my own projections of guilt played out for me to recognize and release. So, I put the Course book down to meditate, I closed my eyes and I remember asking, “Holy Spirit, I desperately need your help to heal my mind of all these fearful thoughts I’ve been experiencing.”

Immediately my body began to relax. My mind grew quiet. A wave of warmth and intense love swirled around me and embraced me fully like a mother would do to her child who was in pain. Tears were streaming down my face as the waves of Love nurtured me, calmed me and released all the fear thoughts and feelings. It was the most incredible experience I’ve had and words cannot express the Love I felt.

Any doubt I may have had about the power of the Holy Spirit and the process of True forgiveness has been eliminated. Any lingering doubts about A Course in Miracles’ practical application and experiencing results are gone as well. Amen.
