When I awakened this week, I realized I needed to take a step back and be re-awakened to the observation that I feel like some of the peace I am striving to maintain has taken flight and been replaced by some irritation. I find that I am slipping back into needing to be right more than choosing peace! My identity sometimes gets caught up in needing to prove my point, but I want to live my true self and go back to my true Identity as Love and Light.
This fact had me running back to my Pathways of Light teachings in the course 905: Special Relationships vs. Holy Relationships. When I opened my notebook, I was led to page 3, paragraph 2 where it stated: “Either we come from oneness of Love as an extension of Love, or we come from the belief in separation – the ego. Specialness is not the real truth.”

Before I started applying A Course in Miracles to my life, I thought that I was right. Right about my opinions, right about my judgments, right in what I thought should or should not happen. I bet you have heard the phrase, “Do you want to be happy or do you want to be right?” I believed they were the same thing for a very long time. It was almost like my “rightness” proved that I was alright, like I was arguing for my right to exist.
Even the most inconsequential topic was fodder for an argument, a proving I was right and defending myself. Any little time I could say “you’re wrong, I’m right,” I was ready to pounce on it.

What if the things that we thought made us strange, different, outcasts or “weird,” were really the things that make us fascinatingly beautiful and incredible? The things that give us our wings, allowing us to soar to new levels — a celestial, Heavenly level where there is only good, only mercy, only truth; an infinite creation of Love; an infinite field of beauty beyond time and space, where there is no guilt, no pain, no turmoil, only radical, unending, soul-penetrating, Love.
A fiery adoration of our own divine muse, moving us to a higher dimension of infinite possibility and wisdom. A land where nothing is impossible. Where no good thing is withheld. Where complete fulfillment is not only possible but an inevitability. A natural result of developing and using our God-given gifts and talents in the most useful and loving way, to serve the highest good. Here happiness is not just a choice but a given, as natural and as ‘right’ as breathing.

In this seeming world of chaos and uncertainty, we always seem to reach out to the Father, our Guides, the Angels, each other, seeking connection and support, especially when duality shadows our perceptions. Let us be reminded of the simple fact that God is with us wherever we go. “There is no time, no place, no state where God is absent. There is nothing to be feared.” (T-29.I.1:1-2)
Ego is always chattering, pulling us back. Illusions reign in such a shadowy landscape. How do we find our truth? Is there truth in some illusions? Dreams are dreams. But does it mean some dreams are kept, and others, wakened from? “The choice is not between which dreams to keep, but only if you want to live in dreams, or to awaken from them.” (T-29. IV.1:5)

I am grateful for ACIM teachings and to be actively applying the lessons in my life. The Truth, that everything I need resides within me, which is offered in ACIM, continues to transform my life as my Christ Consciousness continues to expand. I have experienced more happiness and peace than I could ever have imagined as I continue to turn within to experience my spiritual birthright versus look to the outside world for peace and happiness.
Lesson 101 states, “God’s Will for me is perfect happiness.” Lesson 102 states, “I share God’s Will for happiness for me.”
This lesson is crucial because it requires me to accept my birthright. Just because something is given, offered to us, doesn’t mean we always accept it. Lesson 104 states, “I seek but what belongs to me in truth.” It goes on to state, “His are the gifts that are within us now, for they are timeless. And we need not wait to have them. They belong to us today.” (W-104.2.4-6) How freeing and refreshing this Truth is for me!

“Everything is for your own best interests.” (W-pI.25.1:5)
The above quote probably rings a bell for most Course students. A comforting sentiment right? And most of the time, a sentiment that is easy to swallow when our daily lives are going well. But how easy is it to swallow when the proverbial rubber meets the road? When an experience comes along that can truly test out the beliefs we say we have when things are going well in our lives?
Recently, I had such an experience. I live in Florida and we had a monster of a storm visit us. His name was Milton.
The warnings of a storm were given early. Hurricane Milton was slated to slam into the western shores of Florida within a week. Immediately, uneasiness arose in the state, as we had just had hurricane Helene hit a couple of weeks prior, causing damage and a loss of lives in several states.
