Tap
Years ago, one of my high school friends had the habit of saying “you know” very frequently when she spoke. When we were sitting chatting with our English teacher one day, the teacher picked up a nearby pencil and began lightly tapping the back of my friend’s hand each time she said, “You know.” With each tap, my friend became more and more self-conscious until she was finally rendered speechless. We all laughed, but I never forgot the incident.
A Course in Miracles tells me that, “My meaningless thoughts are showing me a meaningless world.” I’m beginning to see that, with each thought I have, I am thinking that “I” know, but I am being shown that, clearly, I do not. And so, I ask Holy Spirit to be my teacher; to correct all of my thoughts (a seemingly Herculean task!). And, He is always right there, ready to correct me at every turn.
I’m worried about my future…TAP. I don’t have enough…TAP. I feel guilty about …TAP. I’m too tired…TAP. It’s all her fault…TAP.
I can see where this is going. I am being rendered thoughtless. I guess that’s a good thing. It is only when the mind is rid of all its false beliefs, that the truth is revealed. .… Let your spirit soar!
