Letter from Anastasia

by Rev. Joseph Wolfe, O.M.C.

Below is a letter from Anastasia, a student of A Course in Miracles, who has been in prison for the past fourteen years:

Dear Joe Wolfe, from Spirit Light Outreach,

I write in infinite Love and gratitude for the gift of your book, The End of Reincarnation with The Five Signs. I thoroughly enjoyed your writing style and down to earth conversational tone.

I must share a story with you.

I have been incarcerated for over 14 years for a crime that took the life of the man who abused me and my child. The horrors I once endured and of my crime are beyond measure and I choose to no longer focus on the negative…

I am pending release via “change of commitment modification.” Please keep me in your prayers for the Highest Good…

So much of this 14 year journey has brought me to full circle in every sense and in more ways than I can adequately recount. This brings me to your work.

I spent almost two years in the county jail, pending my trial. I was ‘strung out’ on psych meds via the ‘systems’ way of incapacitating me — legal chemical restraint.

It was a bleak and horrific time, yet [it was also] the beginning of my transformation. A jail house minister named Jeanie Wentzel came to visit me frequently. She kept referring to A Course in Miracles and how it had changed her life.

Early on in my jail stay, I asked my family to send me a copy [of A Course in Miracles] which they did, and I began to study it. Three months into my time my sickness worsened and I was deemed ‘incompetent to stand trial’ and shipped off to a state psych hospital for several months. This is where I was originally prescribed a boat load of meds and eventually incapacitated by them.

I remember the impact A Course in Miracles had on me… yet I feel that, at that time, it filed itself away in the archives of my subconscious.

The next two years were ugly for me and coming to prison with an ungodly sentence, I resolved to take my [own] life, once and for all. [I was determined to kill myself.]

But God had other plans for me. She always does… smiling… On the day and hour that I had planned to follow through with my plan [to kill myself] I distinctly heard the Voice and had a vision that showed me All that Was, Is and ever will Be….

Although this was not the first spiritual experience or encounter in my life, I have had many experiences like the many things you describe in your book since I was a child. I would love to share them with you in time if you like.

This was the one that truly opened my eyes and changed my life. Everything A Course in Miracles said became clear to me. I vowed to re-create myself and my life.

I began practicing the principals and studying….I went back to school (prisoner correspondence school) and earned my BA in psychology. I “healed” myself… mind, body and soul… and within the next year or two others took notice of my changes. More people than I can count came to me, morning, noon and night, for help and guidance. I began to ‘see’ others shifting and changing for the better through what I was able to share.

What I do today amazes me! It is far too much to write in a mere letter. Synchronicity is a daily occurrence. Spirit speaks to me always and through everyone and everything!

I have learned to listen and follow… and nothing but Miracles have resulted! I asked Spirit to guide me and asked, “What do I now need?”

My eyes instantly fell [on the pages of your newsletter] the title of your book. Not knowing anything about you or of your work, I wrote to request it.

The first coincidence is the fact that your [address] is a mere couple of blocks from an apartment [where I lived.] So imagine my surprise to receive your book and read it, only to find out that much of what you say is based on A Course in Miracles... which was the original book I read and studied! I have read it daily ever since, knowing why I was directed to them, full circle…..

I have only scratched the surface with you and on what I could share of my experiences and future intentions. I hope that you will remain in contact with me and perhaps some day soon, we will meet and work together in some fashion.

Thank you, Joe, for sharing yourself and your work. You are not alone in your quest. I hope that this begins a friendship and future work endeavors to continue spreading the message of Love and helping others in need. Blessed Be.
