When I first picked up A Course in Miracles, I did not know it was a book about learning to be honest with myself. I thought I was a “good” person and was unaware I had chosen to deceive mySelf. In fact, I did not know that I did not know my Self.
I was clueless that any pain I had experienced was a symbol of the fear and guilt thoughts I was not able to acknowledge in the Mind. The idea that people who hurt me or circumstances that were “awful” did not exist was insulting to my sensibilities. To accept that I could not be a victim anytime was preposterous. The only thing I did know was I wanted the suffering to stop, and I was willing to consider new ideas that brought relief.

In the place where “I” arises, in the ocean of the mind,
Where the ego’s dark disguises for a moment fall behind,
And the wisdom that we cherish, is wrapped up and pushed across
On the waters of awareness to a river where it’s tossed
Like an anchor, gently sinking, on a chain that has been cut,
Now perceived, a distant twinkling, where a ladder does abut—
In the ocean of the mind, there’s a ladder you can find.
In the silence, like a diamond, shining brightly in the heart,
Where the spirit knows no crime and all illusions fall apart,
And the meaning of a minute is dissolving like the hands
Of the paint upon a portrait in a Dali-painted land.
Past and future have no meaning, only timelessness abides,
Here the Spirits are convening, in His glory, they collide—
In the ocean of the Mind, where the body’s left behind.

God’s peace and joy are mine.
Today I will accept God’s peace and joy, in glad exchange for all the substitutes that I have made for happiness and peace.
Let me be still and listen to the truth.
Let my own feeble voice be still, and let me hear the mighty Voice for truth Itself assure me that I am God’s perfect Son. (W-11.1-2)

Recently, I had given an interview with Robin Singler representing Pathways of Light for a video program entitled “Holy Spirit, Take the Wheel.”
I was honored to be asked to be interviewed. Then I started to think about some of the difficult times that I allowed Holy Spirit to do the driving. And I also thought about those times I had difficulty letting go.
I picked up the Course 30 years ago during my divorce with my first wife — the mother of my two sons. At that time, 1994, I believed I felt no connection to a Higher Power. But I was shaken by this severe change in my life. I was looking for something to give me the strength and confidence that seemed to have escaped me.
It was then that A Course in Miracles came into my life. I found it so inspiring. I started with the Workbook and have been a devoted student ever since.
My thinking started to change. I was practicing the instructions of handing my problems and my thinking over to Holy Spirit. I started keeping a journal and communicating with Holy Spirit through my writing.

Holy Father,
I turn to you
in this moment.
But I desire
Your presence
moment to moment
without end.
My love for You
has no end
and no beginning.
It is as eternal as is
our Unity
as One.

On Sunday afternoons, I attend a zoom call where we are presently studying the lessons in the workbook. Lesson 66, “My happiness and my function are one.” Was helpful. My function is to practice forgiveness, it is not to understand anything in the world. It is not to try to change anyone in this life. I have this one function only.
A few days prior to this zoom call I went on a road trip to a workshop for back pain. It was created by Esther Gokhale who wrote “ 8 steps to a Pain-Free Back.”
I took Gary Renard’s Advanced Forgiveness CDs with me. We were asked to think of someone or a situation we think it hard to forgive.
The following is a summary of a meditation on that CD: “Visualize a beautiful, pristine, white, comforting Light. It’s very soothing, very healing and wonderful. The Light expands and is everywhere. There is no place where the Light is not….
All of a sudden just before we disappear into this Light, an altar appears, and on this altar, we are asked to put everything we think needs to happen in this world in order for us to be happy. We put all our dreams, our hopes, and our ambitions and our relationships upon the altar.
Those are our gifts to God because they tell Him we have no other gods before Him, that we need no love but His… then the altar disappears. For just a split second we felt that maybe we were giving something up because we are so attached to the idea of being a body. Now as we become One with God, we realize that we haven’t given up anything and instead we have been given everything. We feel whole and complete. There’s no feeling of lack or scarcity in wholeness. What is more, everybody is there too in our awareness, because nobody can be left out in perfect Oneness.”
