When I first started studying A Course in Miracles many years ago, I understood forgiveness is the key to undoing the ego thought system and healing our minds. I identified six people I had grievances with and needed to forgive, and over time I was able to let go of my grievances with the Holy Spirit’s help. I felt such a wonderful freedom from the ego’s chains and I thought I was done.
Haha… no way.
As I became more vigilant of my thoughts, I discovered that I had many small grievances and fears that got under the radar, and were taking away my peace. As I became more conscious of these little blocks to love and giving them to the Holy Spirit for healing, my practice expanded. I would catch 20 or 30 every day. And as the little blocks were healed, I was lifted further up out of the ego darkness in my mind, and my peace and happiness were growing.

I found A Course in Miracles about four years ago, soon after Jesus himself came to me in a life-changing vision. Finding the Course felt like coming home, as it was seemingly teaching me the things that I had already been shown by Jesus himself, while giving me the tools to dive deeper into these beautiful teachings.
Not long after discovering this miracle of a book, I was led to the Pathways of Light ministerial training. This training for me has been slower than for most, as I’ve made a lot of life changes within this time. But taking my time with it has allowed me to really connect everything that I’m learning to the experiences that I’m living, and this integration has led to an incredibly powerful and transformative practice.
I write these words as I look out my bedroom window upon another magical Florida sunset after a powerful thunderstorm. It seems perfectly fitting to be what my body’s eyes look upon as I tell this story.
A couple of weeks ago I had an experience that was the scariest experience I’ve had thus far as a mother. It would have been completely different if it happened to me before finding the Course. The craziest thing about it was that it was really a miracle in disguise.

“Arrogance makes an image of yourself that is not real.” (W-186)
The narcissistic ego identity is not the truth of anyone. We must first see how we have functioned in the world before we can let it go.
As a child, we came into the world ego-identified, looking to be unfairly treated. The ego, which is at war with God, created this whole entire physical world in order to play out that war. It’s all unconscious, but if you draw back and look, you can see it is true.
As we begin to see that something other than perfect Love is living out its need for suffering through us, we slowly awaken.

Skimming through a book of writing prompts, this one stood out, “Break your life (up to this point) into three chapters and give each chapter a title.” Instantly, these three headings came to mind:
1. Following the Rules
2. Breaking the Rules
3. No Rules
Having already lived seventy years, those were broad generalizations to be sure, but it didn’t take me long to clearly see the dividing points.
Basically, I spent my first fifty years following the rules. There was a lot to love about that first chapter of my life, and I would make many of the same choices again, but it was a safe, predictable, conforming lifestyle. I rarely rocked the boat.
In chapter two, as I became more spiritually aware and inner-directed, I began acting in less traditionally accepted ways. I believe my decisions were divinely guided, but many of them rocked the boat. I would likely make those choices again too, but since I was still navigating the journey of learning which voice to trust, they weren’t easy to make. The end of those twenty years found me as a retired, single woman moving across the country for an adventure in Arizona.

To: All of God’s Creations
Date: Eternity
Time: Doesn’t exist
Re: Love, Light, Wholeness, Unity, Forgiveness, Truth
My Dearest Beloved,
When I created you, I extended My Spirit and formed your essence. You were neither separate from Me nor removed from Me. You were, are, and will always be an extension of Me, as I am of you. We are one.
The pain that you have been carrying around with you, although it has felt very real, does not exist except within your mind. For as long as you nurture the pain, in pain you shall remain. However, when you choose to release your perception of the world, Spirit will hear your call and will remove any shred of doubt of your oneness with Me.
