A Course in Miracles states there are four obstacles to Peace. I would like to share my experience of working with Holy Spirit to overcome the fourth obstacle to peace: The fear of God.

In lesson 71, the Course assures that ‘Only God’s Plan’ for salvation will work. This is good news as it means there is a plan. It is not of me so I don’t have to worry about constructing it. It will work and Holy Spirit will help me …all of the time. However, this same lesson also says that ego has a plan for our salvation which involves getting us to buy into “Grievances.”

In A Course in Miracles, Text, Chapter 14, Section XI, perhaps the key point Jesus is trying to get across to us (to me) is introduced in the first sentence of the section:
“Yet the essential thing is learning that you do not know.” (T-14.XI.1:1)
What don’t I know? As I was studying this section, I noticed the feeling of ‘being attacked’ was in my mind, which I didn’t like.

Today I am full of thought. The bible study I am working on, the sermon yesterday in church and A Course in Miracles studies all stirred up a lot of emotion. “Not a coincidence” Holy Spirit assures me.
When we were kids, we were always told to “be good” and sometimes to “behave or else,” but we were never helped by adults to change our mental, spiritual or emotional behavior patterns.

The Spiritual Law of Intention dictates that Universal energies support a person’s intention, as it is the basis of manifestation in the physical. Within this law, it is best to invoke the sacred intention to set the stage at the beginning of new activity. The intensity of this intention to grow, become one with; it is what leads to the attunement of vibration with Spirit:
“Intention is our focus for creating that change within ourselves and our environment.”

I am continually learning to discern which motivations in my life are ego-driven and which are from my Inner Wisdom meant to help me fulfill my soul’s purpose while in this body as Andrea Sassa Archuleta. Wow, that’s a mouthful!
“OK. Let’s start simple,” I tell myself, because as I sort out what I am talking about I can easily get jumbled and confused. Which is okay too, but, well, here we go…

My reliance has been on the strength of my body. Yet I do not see its limitations unless I allow myself to be honest. I imagine I have free will and I exercise that in my choices of how to defend myself — never thinking that that is no real choice.

The body is nothing but a mistaken thought. A Course in Miracles says that it was a tiny mad idea that put us in hell, a dream world of separation from God, from Love. The problem is that when that thought came into our consciousness, we forgot to laugh at how insane this idea really was. In fact, we were tempted by this voice (thought) to make up a whole world, where the body was made to hide from God, who we believed would punish us for separating from Him. And so, fear of God replaced the memory of a loving Father who created us in innocence and perfection.

Who knew I’d find such an incredible outpouring of wisdom and love in such an unlikely place! At least, unlikely as far as the average un-incarcerated person is concerned. Wakulla C.I. in Crawfordville, Florida has recently become, for me, a stairway to Heaven. Actually, more like an express elevator to my function on earth — to give and receive God’s Love.

Many years ago I was in a car accident, which changed my life drastically. I lost my teaching job of 27 years, a marriage, and over the years I have had at least 30 surgeries. I have actually lost count. It was a hit and run. A lady ran a red light and hit me at 55 mph. Little did I know at the time how important it was that the healing of my mind and thoughts were determinedly necessary for my physical healing.

Jesus was the first to complete his full return to God. He was the first to recognize and overcome the entire dream of separation by undoing its nucleus of death. In the illusion of time He was our pioneer, the one who demolished the veil of death and fulfilled God’s Will completely. Until Jesus triumphantly overcame death through His own resurrection, we all, the one collectively sleeping mind, dwelt in darkness.
Through His resurrection He overcame all ego laws and gifted us with the Atonement, which is the undoing of fear. The Atonement is an immediate tool for correcting fear in our perception.

Reading the title, doesn’t it make you curious what this plan could be?
The lesson offers three questions to use in order to find out. This morning I had the golden opportunity to do just that. My former husband and I were having breakfast together, talking about a planned camping trip. Soon we were getting entangled in our opposite ways of doing things. I noticed the energy and asked that we sit down and just breathe for ten minutes, which we did.
I asked the first question:
1. What would You have Us do? (Meaning my Higher Self and Me as One US.)
‘To let go of the need to control.’

Mind Watching
So, I’ve been diligently watching the thoughts in my mind and asking Holy Spirit to judge them for me and to sanction the true thoughts, correct those with some truth, and to take away the ones that are not salvageable. I have been doing this for years. Lately, I have been identifying with the truth more than the ego and my mind watching is evolving.

For the past two weeks I have struggled with what started out as a virus and then soon became a lung infection. I have had asthma for many years along with several other health conditions I have been concerned about. One night I became so distressed over not being able to get any air I considered calling 911.
My husband works away and commutes so I am alone part of the time. I cried out to Holy Spirit, “What do I need to learn from this? Where do I need to heal my mind?”

“The power of witness comes from your belief. And everything you say or do or think but testifies to what you teach to him.” (T-27.II.5:4-5)
We are all teaching — all the time. So truly, what is it that I desire to teach?
