As I am writing this, I am doing Lesson 48: “There is nothing to fear.” I love this Lesson. It is so clear. There are no caveats. It is simple, straight-forward and uncompromising.
I seldom read news other than the headlines of local news, since I might need to know what is going on in my town. But every once in a while, I hear about something or read the national headlines.
This morning, I decided to do that in conjunction with the Lesson. Each article would trigger a response in me and each time that response was fear, it was an opportunity to remember that there is nothing to fear.
How could it be that some of the things happening in the world today could not be fearful? Well, let’s start with the fact that there is no world. It is an illusion we chose to experience, but it cannot hurt us. It is like dreaming of a scary moment and awakening to discover nothing happened except a dream. Whew! That was good news. And today’s lesson is good news in the same way.

We live in a world built on the ego thought system of fear, guilt, separation, and sin. And we have taken on many worldly beliefs, opinions and judgements to help us navigate our way through this mad illusion, believing that we are separate bodies, needing to defend ourselves, protect ourselves from others, surrounded by dangerous people, facing climate change, getting old and dying. But this world is not real. It’s a mad illusion created to escape from who we truly are… we are eternal Love.
“The world is false perception. It is born of error, and it has not left its source. It will remain no longer than the thought that gave it birth is cherished. When the thought of separation has been changed to one of true forgiveness, will the world be seen in quite another light; and one which leads to truth, where all the world must disappear and all its errors vanish. Now its source has gone, and its effects are gone as well.” (W-pII.3.1:1-5)

A Course in Miracles describes the dream we experience as a journey that never was in reality. In a sense, there is a journey we take to wake up from this dream. It’s the shortest journey you will ever take, and it takes the longest time to get there. It’s the one that starts in your brain and goes to your heart.
We were taught in school to study and accumulate a lot of information that will help us accomplish our chosen occupation. This information is useless unless we use it to get the job done. As Course students, we can read the Text, do the Lessons and have an intellectual understanding that stays in our head. To wake up, this information needs to travel to our heart. How do you know that this is happening? The Course gives us some guideposts or landmarks along the way. The following is a list of some of these guideposts or landmarks: (they are not in any particular order).

I have had quite a few mind-healing partners while studying the Pathways courses over these many years. Studying these Pathways courses with a partner is a great way to take the teachings of the Course deeper.
Each of the Pathways of Light courses begin with the Opening Preparation. As a student and teacher of A Course in Miracles, I believe the Opening Preparation describes a powerful dedication to connecting to Holy Spirit.
By repeating the Opening Preparation each time I practice as suggested, I let Holy Spirit do His work on my thoughts.
The Opening Preparation asks us to dedicate this time to healing our minds and awakening to our true Nature.

We are brought together in unity
to recognize that we are really
One. Never separate.
Never alone.
We come together to
magnify and multiply Love.
Eliminating the fear that bound us.
Flying into freedom and release.
A release that brings eternal
joy and fulfillment.
To join, to give, to Love, is to
invest in our own mind healing.
In joining and unifying, the false
concept of separation is undone.
It is then that we are made happy.
Led to remember that we
are whole and lack nothing.
A recognition of our completion.

I am grateful to have the opportunity to share how the Course continues to assist me in this life experience, particularly in the area of parenting.
I have two wonderful college age boys that I now recognize as two of my greatest teachers. This means that they have mirrored to me some of my most limiting beliefs that I have projected onto them. Looking into that mirror and owning the limiting beliefs, all with roots in fear, has not been an easy or pleasant task. It has been messy, emotionally and physically draining at times. However, the results of pulling out the weeds of fear in my garden of life continues to be deeply rewarding. I have experienced more peace and freedom than I ever thought was possible AND I still forget, at times, who I am and who they are.
