Problems

by Rev. Veronika Wilcox, O.M.C.

I woke at midnight and couldn’t go back to sleep. Some problem weighed on me. I got up to try to solve it by sending an e-mail inquiry off. I then wrote down all that bothered me, turning it over to the Holy Spirit. It came to me to read the lesson of the day from ACIM, number 79, “Let me recognize the problem so it can be solved.” I read every word slowly and carefully, taking in the reminder that the only problem was that I believed that I was separated from my Creator. Well, I nodded my head like a good student, but at the moment I couldn’t quite agree with it. Back to my writing again with questions to the Holy Spirit. When I was done, the only answer I received was to go back to sleep and leave all my concerns to Him.

I went back to bed, but sleep was as far from me as the East is from the West. Then it came to me to listen to one of my favorite tracks from the POL course 905: Special Relationships vs. Holy Relationships. I put the CD on, lay back and listened. Soon the image of me trying to pull a heavy bag uphill arose. I could hardly manage because the bag seemed to have a will of its own, for it felt as if it was trying to pull me downhill. If I was to let go, it would go out of my sight and be gone. I couldn’t do that! This bag full of problems was very important to me. It seemed like I was hypnotized by it.

Well, I reached the bench in the shade, as described by the voice in the meditation. When I sat down, I had to tie the bag down at the bench because its energy was so great. I sighed and invited the Holy Spirit into my mind. I was truly willing to be helped to let go of that bag. I knew that was all I needed to do. I didn’t even have to look inside to see all the nothingness I call my problems. As I started to feel the peace of the presence of the Holy Spirit in me, I just untied the bag and it slid out of sight immediately. I was free. It was that simple.

I felt so light. It was wonderful. I went back to sleep and when I woke, I still felt that same lightness and the clear realization that I was indeed the maker of all my problems and yes, Jesus was right, the answer to all my perceived problems was already given, namely that I was never separated from the Holy Spirit, which is the Voice of God in me. Amen.
