When I get up this morning, our dog is whining in her crate in the dining room, a pan of rice is on the stove and there’s a note from my husband on the table. “Have taken Katy out 2X and fed her rice. Sorry to leave you the (poopy) mess on dog cushions, now in garage. Ran out of time.”
Sigh. The body’s senses report that our two-year-old rescue dog obviously had to go again after my husband left, which is why she’s standing up in her crate, whining and wagging her tail guiltily (my projection). I clean it up, pop the cushions in the washing machine and take her outside.

Lesson 249 of A Course In Miracles says, “Forgiveness ends all suffering and loss.” This is true as spiritual destruction is the act of hanging on to grudges and old resentments. There is no spiritual release and relief until I release myself from the harmful, negative, get even and grudging feelings I harbor. There is also no way I can overemphasize the spiritual vulnerability that comes from hanging on to resentments. Resentment is my most perilous enemy.

Who are we? At the surface we are a conglomeration of feelings, emotions, experiences and unexplainable coincidences. Day by day we move through a world rocketing back and forth between an assortment of thoughts and feelings. Fear and love; life and death; God and ego. Fear thoughts bring us to those places within us that say, “Stop — do not go any further!” These are instantaneous glimpses at the death of the ego. The ego shrouds this fact with a worldly fear of some kind, but when I take it to truth, it is revealed that a fear thought is nothing more than the ego’s survival mechanism — it says, “This is too scary for you. Only I know what’s best for you. I’ll take control here and tell you what to believe and keep you safe.”

One busy morning in a rush to get chores out of the way, I spilled a box of packing peanuts on my patio. They were scattered out all over, and so went my mind, to numerous scatter thoughts of regret and of picking them up. I resigned myself to the task and soon relaxed and softened with a mind shift, opening to Holy Spirit’s message. With each single or handful I scooped, I thought, “I am Spirit. I am Love. All is well. We are one.” There was no struggle, the time flew, and I was finished with the pickup feeling soothed and uplifted.

For the past five years, a water conditioning company has placed us in a collection agency trying to collect a fee from us for a service we haven’t used in the five years and which we have asked them to take back their equipment. Each time we get a notice from the collection agency, I initially panic and imagine myself being carted off to a prison or having my husband’s wages garnished. Oh what vain imaginings the ego constructs to keep us in fear and separation.

Excerpt from ‘The End of Death’
If we truly wish to help ourselves or another to heal from emotional or physical sickness, then it’s wise to look more carefully at our intent. The ego seeks to cure through fear, so as the underlying cause of all sickness (guilt), it is never found and addressed. If we have un-relinquished fear beneath our intent to heal, then we’ll inadvertently increase fear in ourselves and/or the one we’re attempting to help.
