Today, in my workbook practice of A Course in Miracles, Lesson 281 resonated to the core of my being with an astounding feeling of truth. Lesson 281 states “I can be hurt by nothing but my thoughts.” As the sentence finished, the whirling sense of truth began to fill my mind. The Course teaches us that we have never left our home in God. We just think we have and our thought of this has created the dream we see with our eyes. Each time I believe that someone, something, some event or some issue is causing me pain, I am not thinking about the truth of my Self; I have never left my home in God.

I know that many people believe that God has abandoned them when they suffer the tragic loss of a loved one. After turning to Holy Spirit during the seven years that my son, Kevin, battled with an opiate addiction, he relapsed again and died last winter of an overdose at the age of 27.

I’m in the middle of doing the Pathways of Light Miracles Studies Course 910: “Living in the World While Waking Up.” Part of why I was drawn to this course is my trying to make sense of my employment situation which is seemingly getting more complex and daunting all the time.

After spending a day in seclusion at my family’s farm cabin, an hour driving and a short ferryboat ride away from Seattle, I realized what I was looking for — Peace! What a fabulous word! It even sounds attractive. Why do I always end up thinking peace has either been withheld, or denied to me? Or, that for some strange reason, I just have to suffer a little while longer and then I can enjoy peace. As I sat out on the porch surveying the acres and acres of ready to cut alfalfa, watching several deer wandering through the pasture, I experienced one of those rare (for me) moments when my mind was just quiet.

Comparisons have been floating through my mind and disturbing my peace. I compare my friend’s sporty car to my less desirable “old lady” car, others’ exotic vacations to my weekend retreat vacations, my friend’s perceptions of the world to what I perceive about the world. I even compare what people think to what the Course teaches!

I went to visit my 93 year old father who is in a rehab/nursing home in Denver. For 92 years, he was fine, but the last year has seen a decline in his health to the point that there is nothing more that can be done to make him well.

The story of my current life includes a tidy assortment of victim themes which have been the material for “convincing” me of shortcomings, maladies, disease, incompetence, and unacceptability. If these weren’t enough, throw on the additional phenomenon of aging! So with all of this, shouldn’t I at least deserve to be a little grumpy and irritable? How is it that I have a shot at being happy and at peace? It would seem to take some kind of miracle to pull that off. A miracle of mind to be exact; but I am getting ahead of myself. What would I have to do to feel happy and at peace?
