Pixel by Pixel

by Rev. Paula Richards, O.M.C.

Rev. Paula RichardsI have been studying A Course in Miracles for almost three years. The ego tells me I should have “gotten it” by now. At times I do get frustrated and feel that I am not making any progress, but I keep doing the work.

I do it because, lately, I find myself experiencing moments where a teaching resonates so deeply within me that I know I have experienced a shift. I have allowed more light into (or out of?) this seemingly dense body I call Paula. I feel myself becoming lighter, as if tiny particles in my body are randomly disintegrating. It seems like I am spreading out and coming undone; sort of like reducing the number of pixels on a computer screen. “Paula” is becoming less clearly defined as I realize that the picture in my mind of a solid body is only held together by my original thought of separation.

It is then reinforced by a gazillion other little, fearful thoughts (pixels). When I zoom in close enough and examine these thoughts, I discover that there is no picture — no body. There is only fear (false evidence appearing real). I laugh at the absurdity of it all and remind myself that I have been “getting it” …one pixel at a time. Let your spirit soar!

Rev. Paula Richards is a Pathways of Light minister living in Lowell, Massachusetts
