Just one and one-half miles from my home, there is a parking lot where I meet my running buddies. I drive this street nearly every day. A couple of days ago I was on my way to meet two of my running buddies. The sun was shining bright and the temperature was moderate. I was singing Neil Young’s “old man take a look at my life…” with the radio. Life was good and then when I was just about at the lot, out of the corner of my eye, a police car pulled out of its parking spot. Yup, busted! I pulled into the lot as usual as he pulled in behind me with his lights flashing and my running buddies standing there in their florescent yellow jackets with big grins on their faces. Busted again!

I have a planner
that is full of my plans.
Plans for this and plans for that.
I am fond of my planner.
It keeps me secure in the knowledge
That all is well in the future for me.

I don’t know if you ever experience this, but after faithfully practicing ACIM lessons, giving my willingness to Holy Spirit to look at everything that didn’t bring me peace, I suddenly went into a deep funk. Call it disillusionment, despondency, crashing. It felt horrible, lonely, scarey and disorienting to say the least. I went into a panic. What if all that I am learning is not the truth? What if God isn’t real? What am I to do?

I have had my share of trouble getting a grip on the “guilt” thing in A Course in Miracles. I am being clearly taught that:
• There is never a good reason to feel guilty.
• I feel guilty because I falsely believe I have separated from God.
• Only the ego believes in guilt; Holy Spirit knows I am totally innocent.

There is a devotional song I like, called Tapping by Rickie Beckwith. In part it says:
You are tapping on my heart. Tell me what is the plan. Tell me how to heal my mind. Tell me how to walk this land.
These words resonate deeply with me because I am aware of that tapping all the time. Holy Spirit is tapping in my Heart, tapping on my shoulder, on my head. He gently taps to get my attention. Sometimes I acknowledge His taps, sometimes not, but always the tapping is there. My desire for His Guidance grows stronger and stronger as I practice listening.

It has been clearly and methodically proven to me over the years that everything I see is a total creation of my mind. I have a world inside my head that I can choose to see as my truth, and be a slave to its whims and crazy circumstances or I can see the truth as shown me through ACIM. My study of quantum theory and other sciences, as well as energy methodologies have given me the understanding of the concept that there is nothing out there. ACIM has taken these studies to another level by offering further explanation about the nothingness that lies beyond energy.

This morning I was reading my workbook lesson, “My body is a wholly neutral thing.” (W-pII.294) I started thinking, we go through so much trouble taking care of our bodies, what we put on it, how we feed it, tend to it when it is sick. What if we had such a deep belief in our oneness with God that we never had to do any of those things? Now, I am not a proponent of walking around naked (although it would be nice if it was a society norm!), but can you imagine how much more time we would have if we didn’t have to do all this stuff? Think of how much more time we would have soaking in the Love of God, experiencing the joy that is our right, reveling in the pursuit of happiness… just relaxing. (We all seem to be so tired all the time!)
