I wrote this in 2007. I used to be very afraid of strong feelings, and I went through some uncomfortable times as I learned to walk through my fear with the help of the Holy Spirit. This has been done, but I am sharing this writing because I have noticed that a lot of peopleContinue reading “Looking with the Holy Spirit”

I leave my needs to the Holy Spirit, knowing He will provide. Sometimes, though, I forget this and become anxious as to what is needed and how to provide that need. Right before I retired, I had some anxiety about how I was going to adjust to a much lower income. I wondered how IContinue reading “I Leave My Needs to the Holy Spirit”

This morning I thought of ways I have bound myself to pain and suffering by believing in the laws of the world instead of the laws of Love. Mostly it was a mundane list, but each one is a symbol of my choice to believe in what cannot be true, and thus my desire toContinue reading “Healing Through True Prayer”

I used to think that depression was a real thing and something over which I had no control. I learned differently. I use the little self of Myron to show me the consequences of the choice for separation, but it is not for this little self that I make the choice; it is for theContinue reading “Awakening from Depression”

Forgiveness brings us Home.   by Lana Carolan As we read the text of ACIM, Jesus clearly states that its goal is Peace…not any Peace the world gives us, but a deep Peace that is not affected by anything that happens in the world. And it is TRUE. I’ve had amazing experiences that have demonstratedContinue reading “Forgiveness Brings Us Home.”

When she woke up it took her awhile to focus on me and longer still to register that I was visitingContinue reading “Visiting Mom”

I ask myself, “What is my goal?” Is cleaning my house my goal? Will a clean house help me awaken? I watch my mind and notice ego objections to this questioning. I cannot just sit down and meditate all day. The house needs to be cleaned and students will be calling soon. What am IContinue reading “What is My Goal This Morning?”

Recently, I had a chance to see forgiveness differently than I had before. There is a gynecologist in town who was arrested because his patient turned him in for taking pictures (with his cell phone) of… well, let’s just say he wasn’t taking pictures of anyone’s face. When I read the article in the paper I wasContinue reading “Why Should It Matter If I Forgive Him? I Don’t Even Know Him.”

I was having trouble journaling this morning. I have been looking at the same words all year. What else is there to say? Then I would read my lesson again and think that I don’t really understand this. It is just words. I wanted to just walk away from it. I asked the Holy Spirit toContinue reading “From Anxiety to Peace Through Surrender”
