Why I love the Course in Miracles so much

A Course in Miracles is truly a master piece that goes way beyond anything that I can change with my human understanding. That’s why it doesn’t tell me to drink 8 cups of water a day. Or what the best sleeping cycle is, or what to do, or to only say good things. It’s is far beyond that, and that is what irritated me for a long time. I was looking for that perfect way to live. The perfect process to get happy. Some secret that I felt was missing in my live, but already existed in every one else’ live.
The Course in Miracles also goes beyond consciousness. It changes me where the only change is possible, at the roots of the roots at the point what I am one with God. Where there is actually no change possible, so that’s why there is also no process to get there. It’s just my recognition right now, that I am whole and perfect as God created me. I am free to be myself. I am already worthy of everyone’s love and God’s gifts.
So you are invited to let yourself be healed in stopping to search for something that you can never find.

God is watching

The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray, “Take only one. God is watching.”

Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies. One child whispered to another, “Take all you want. God is watching the apples.”

The revolution of self-forgiveness

It starts with me. It’s all about being in peace with myself again. It is a revolution to do what we have sworn never to do - to forgive ourselves. That’s why it seems so hard. But in the moment where it happens it is the most natural thing. It first happens in my mind, because I can’t stand the pain of holding on to anything that is not perfect love anymore. So with the necessity to be in peace and have freedom of mind, I look at the grievance that I am holding and start to pray. Most of the time the last thing is forgive. Most of the time condemnation is closer than release and forgiveness. This is where the lessons of A Course in Miracles come in, and also the true desire to be with God. Once this miracle has occurred in my mind, it’s being reflected in my whole world. And then I realize that no one has ever hold a grievance against me. That they forgave me the moment I have upset them. That I was the one refusing to let go and be at peace.
Nothing actually ever happened. Nothing is going on here. Wake up. This is absolutely not your reality. There is just so much more waiting for you. And it starts with you! With this moment where you forgive yourself completely. Welcome to your new mind. Welcome to the revolution of YOU!

Forgiveness and giving up poverty

Wow, what a day, when I take responsibility for my life instead of waiting for God to fulfill me everything is happening. I have the tendency to blame everything on God and hope that he will take care of decisions I have to make or uncomfortable situations that I want to avoid. When I realized that I am actually avoiding responsibility in thinking that God will take care ofit, it was a huge revelation. A, I was blind and now I see, type of revelation. One of those really huge one. Where I feel that I literally shook of millenniums of wrong believes about God. The thing about being wrong is that I am convinced that I am right until it gets painful. Pain is a really great motivator. Who really wants to be wrong and forgive? It’s really uncomfortable to be wrong. But it is actually the only growth I can experience. Otherwise I am stuck in the same old “me” thinking… forever and ever. It’s time to be wrong and let everyone know that I have been wrong. What the heck, I got nothing to loose.
Hey, I have been wrong about you. “Jesus, please reveal him to me how he really is.”
Thank you!
