I was one of those people who woke in the morning with a list running in her head. It was that way for years. For a long time, I thought this was good. I thought I was helping myself by immediately setting my day in order and then getting right to it. I prided myself on how much I accomplished and that I did not “waste” time sitting idly. Every second had a purpose!

My soul aches
and undulates…
as it comes to life.
Triggered awake
by the pain, the grief
it moves…
breathes…

For the past eight months, the body that Linda made in the story of separation has been acting out with a vengeance — pain, inflammation, Lymes. It doesn’t matter. It’s all effects of an unhealed mind that believes it is guilty and has to punish itself because in one instant it had a deluded thought that it could separate from God. And, like ACIM says it forgot to laugh at this silly thought. So, because of the belief that the guilt is real, Linda believes that suffering is necessary to atone for her “sins” of separation. She even believes the pain is real. When she saw pictures of her blood cells, she really went into fear mode and it seemed so scary. Weren’t we taught in the separation story that what we see with the physical eyes tells the real story?

I am in my 41st consecutive year as a high school coach with the same lacrosse team — the Lynbrook Owls. Having retired five seasons ago from being the head coach, I have since served as a volunteer assistant coach to the program. My role is now remarkably different and, for me, very exciting.

Forgiveness is probably the most important spiritual lesson for many reasons, one of which is that our lives depend on it.
To truly forgive we need to understand the why’s and how’s of how it works. As with any fix-it project, the most important factor, after the decision to repair something, is to use the right tools. Without the proper tools, all the determination in the world usually results in little change. We are fortunate to have these tools today. I wish I’d had them at 16. I wish I’d had them at 30 when I was blaming the world for my problems. I wish I’d used them yesterday when I felt slighted by one of God’s children, and condemned him in my mind.

The last ten months of 2012 have been very challenging in my life. I had a lumbar fusion in March of 2012 and another one which was an emergency in August of 2012. I thought I was finally on the upswing of mending this physical body when in October I slipped and fell and broke my leg. Up until this event I knew that the Holy Spirit was guiding me back to health. In fact, the Holy Spirit and I were partners for many years in healing mind, body and spirit. I was doing my part and the ability of the billions of cells in this miracle body of mine was doing the rest.

My eyes, my tongue, my hands, my feet today- Have but one purpose; to be given Christ
To use to bless the world with miracles. W.pII.353
In the midst of thoughts about “caring for” the body, I have been given sight as follows. Inspiration In Motion is an experiential practice of accessing Inspiration Within through your Inspired HeartMind any time, anywhere while in the midst of everyday living. Inspiration Within is This Inner Present Love, wholly free and absolutely present, here, now, everywhere, at all times. There is nowhere This Love is not. This is how This Love is Love.

I have a flooring business to earn money in this earthly illusion. One of my customers had some water damage so she called me on a Thursday and I went to her house to correct the problem. I removed the wet pad and propped up the carpet so the fans could dry the floor and carpet. I got a strong message that I should come back on the following Monday to finish the repair.

Home is within me.
Peace is within me.
God is within me.

These are two suggestions that Robert and Mary seem to repeat often and every time they do, my Inner Guide says something like, ‘there it is again… just listen.’
This suggestion, after decades of study and practice of ACIM, reading anything else related I could get my hands on, a nearly graduate degree in Buddhist Philosophy and the rest… surely I should be closer to enlightenment now than when I started, as all of these things create a deeper and deeper perspective and wow, some amazing teachers, etc.

For five minutes every hour, lesson 109 instructs us to rest in the peace and stillness of God. Staying vigilant to the hourly practice is a feat for many of us, but a question that comes to my mind is how do I continue that rest throughout the other 55 minutes of the hour? After five minutes of resting in the peace and stillness of God, then what? When those five minutes pass, I find myself going back to the business of the world.

A couple of months ago, the day after I returned from a fabulous Hawaiian vacation, I discovered a man whom I had trusted stole about $30k from me. I remember sitting at a coffee shop looking over some financial records thinking, “This cannot be happening to me.” And, “after all the help I have given this person, this is how he shows gratitude?” I thought I was going to vomit.

For many years I considered myself to be a spiritual seeker. But one of my favorite inspirational authors, Alan Cohen says, “To step onto any path is to leave our source.” One day, when I was meditating, the Wizard of Oz came to mind and I realized just how brilliantly it illustrates this point.

There’s a place in the mind called I Don’t Know. I arrived here by surprise today. There’s a big shade tree with a bench underneath. I’m resting here in peace. I don’t have any suitcases, plans for later on, anywhere I need to go, anybody to please. What seemed to happen yesterday, last year, last century have no life here.

It seems that I have spent my whole life in an effort to bring my body weight under control. I have used that particular class room to learn lots of good lessons. The Holy Spirit and I have made good use of this particular challenge. Here is an example of how this has worked for me. This is an excerpt from my book, “Hey, Holy Spirit, It’s Me Again.” This book is a journal of my study of the Workbook including the messages I receive from Spirit as I meditate on the lesson. This particular one is specifically about my confusion around the body and specifically, dieting.
