Do you or a loved one have a chronic or critical illness and want support?
You are not alone. God’s Will is that we be happy.
No matter who or where you are, when you are looking at a serious or critical illness, or received a diagnosis of it, you may feel stuck and anxious and want help. We can be there with you to open up to the help of your Higher Power, the Holy Spirit, in providing relief and comfort. We will listen and extend Love when you feel down and lacking. With Guidance, there may be another way to see your situation to find hope and relief.
When you ask for individual support, one of the members of the support group, guided by the principles of A Course in Miracles, will respond and encourage you to go within and seek the support of your Inner Teacher, the Voice for God, Who will gently guide your healing process. There is no need to be familiar with ACIM, but it can help.

It was the sudden impact of COVID-19 in 2020 that shut the stores and roadways down in Orlando Florida, where I was living at the time. Since it was suggested that everyone stay inside their homes, I had ample time to go deeper into my studies of A Course in Miracles.
Within a few days it was apparent, to many on the social media platform Instagram, that we were in dangerous territory, and our lives were being held hostage by an invisible disease.
Many New Thought and Spiritual Guide Teachers were providing solace through prayers and free eBooks. But it was Marianne Williamson, spiritual leader and author of the New York Times number one bestseller “A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles” gift that caught my attention. In her Instagram video she affectionately offered, as a free download, the complete audio recordings of ACIM Workbook for Students. I immediately downloaded the series to iTunes.

In the course of needing physical therapy for my left hand, the spiritual sister who came to help me with physical therapy also was sent by Spirit to me for us to share the Course together.
She shared with me that her brother had a challenge in the world of substance abuse. She was very concerned about him and wanted to help him.
Suddenly I felt such happiness because I had something very wonderful to share with her. I read her paragraph 11 on page 122 of the Text:
“Come therefore unto me, and learn of the truth in you. The mind we share is shared by all our brothers, and as we see them truly they will be healed. Let your mind shine with mine upon their minds, and by our gratitude to them make them aware of the light in them. This light will shine back upon you and on the whole Sonship, because this is your proper gift to God. He will accept it and give it to the Sonship, because it is acceptable to Him and therefore to His Sons. This is true communion with the Holy Spirit, Who sees the altar of God in everyone, and by bringing it to your appreciation, He calls upon you to love God and His creation. You can appreciate the Sonship only as one. This is part of the law of creation, and therefore governs all thought.”

Born and raised an Okinawan, I have a biased opinion about the Karate Kid movies — I love it! After all, Okinawa gave birth to the original karate. So, of course, it’s only right then that the character for young Daniel’s teacher, Mr. Miyagi, be based on an Okinawan too.
In the movie, Daniel pleaded for Mr. Miyagi to teach him karate. Daniel wanted to stand up for himself against a group of bullies. Mr. Miyagi reluctantly agrees and quickly puts Daniel to work on various chores like waxing cars: “Wax-on, wax off.” Of course, young Daniel became frustrated by what he initially felt was nonsense. At one point, he even questions Mr. Miyagi’s understanding of real karate until finally, the purpose of his chores became evident. Daniel had internalized his technique through his work, making it almost instinctual.

We are all miracle workers in training. We have forgotten our way back but now we know that we have a constant Companion, the Holy Spirit, to lead us back to our true Identity.
A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 283 returns us to the truth of our shared Identity and helps us forgive or let go of our false perceptions of being separate and alone:
“Father, I made an image of myself, and it is this I call the Son of God. Yet is creation is as it always was, for your creation is unchangeable. Let me not worship idols. I am he my Father loves. My holinesss remains the light of Heaven and the Love of God. Is not what is beloved of You secure? Is not the light of Heaven infinite? Is not Your Son my true Identity, when You created everything that is?
“Now are we one in shared Identity, with God our Father as our only Source, and everything created part of us. And so we offer blessing to all things, united lovingly with all the world, which our forgiveness has made one with us.” (W-pII.283.1-2)

Someone said, “The island of knowledge is surrounded by the shore of ignorance.” I am this island of Love surrounded by all my false beliefs. This ego body knows nothing of real knowledge for it was made for the opposite purpose, which is to prove I am a separate individual, somehow lacking and alone. This mindset is the ignorance Jesus is telling us about in A Course in Miracles.
I have felt guided, even “pushed” at times, to do things. This guidance is always provided in small increments, which I now know is related to my willingness to receive. It also seems to come on a need-to-know basis. The impatient side of me wants the whole enchilada now. Holy Spirit can only give me what I am willing to accept. My fear stands in the way. I have not always been willing to see my fear and resistance. Very slowly I am learning to trust what the Holy Spirit tells me is true.
Despite thinking of myself as spiritual and having this guidance, I have gone through this life being judgmental of myself and others and until most recently not knowing why. I was unaware that in reality I can not judge anyone but myself. What I see in the world is a projection of my own guilt onto others.
