I find it hard to understand hatred.  In order to hold onto any kind of anger or condemnation it requires a real commitment and it’s also a sacrifice – we sacrifice our Peace in order to foment anger.  In order to hold onto these attack thoughts we must also be deeply committed to a life of either stagnation, torment, or degradation.

No one can hold onto that intense negativity and not sacrifice their happiness and their Peace.  And yet, I know that there have been times when I felt it was worth it and I see that others do too, although it’s definitely on it’s way out – despite what we see in the world.

In my spiritual practice I find that all disturbances are caused by my opinions and judgments.  As long as there’s no judgment there’s Peace in my mind.  And still, when so many are feeling distraught, my empathic nature comes in and I relate.  It feels so sad.

And yet, I have to say, that I do believe what Jesus tells us in A Course in Miracles.  I find his teachings helpful and comforting.

“I do not know what anything is for.”  Lesson 25

“I’m never upset for the reason I think.”  Lesson 5

“What could you not accept, if you but knew that everything that happens, all events, past, present and to come, are gently planned by One Whose only purpose is your good?”  Lesson 135

“It takes great learning to understand that all things, events, encounters and circumstances are helpful.”  M-4.I.A.4.

“Fear arises from lack of love.

The only remedy for lack of love is perfect love.

Perfect love is the atonement.”  T-2.VI.7.

When really cruel and destructive things happen in the world it can deeply affect us – especially if we give it a meaning that comes from our judgment.  The more we judge, the more upset we are.

I don’t claim to understand a lot of the terrors that happen in the world, but here’s what I can feel:  I can feel that there is a good that is coming out of it all, and I’m holding that in my mind.

I believe it’s possible that we can stop learning through pain and simply get the divine download instead.

I believe that the exposure of the racism, sexism, etc. that’s being revealed and brought to our attention is bringing forth a healing even when it doesn’t look like it.

I hold in my mind that the good is being revealed now.

I hold in my mind that healing is happening now.

I hold in my heart that we are all one and that Peace begins with me, and this is the moment now.

I choose Love.

I choose Peace.

I invite you to join with me today and practice:

“Love holds no grievances.”  Lesson 68

I’ve held onto grievances for many years and I no longer wish to do that.  Now is a time for committing to Peace with a deep devotion.  I believe we can demonstrate the message we’d like to see in the world.

Gandhi said, “my life is my message.”  I say, my life is my ministry, and it’s a message of the Power of Love.

NEW PODCAST EPISODE! The most recent episode of my podcast’s topic is Living A Generous Life.  One of the Characteristics of God’s Teachers is Generosity. What does this actually mean when we apply to our life and most especially, how do we incorporate generosity into our moment by moment spiritual practice. In this episode, Jennifer shares how she came to feel called to generosity and the misunderstandings that can accompany the idea of being generous versus actually being the living spirit of God’s infinite Generosity.  ACIM tells us “to have, give all to all.” We can be generous because we’ve already been given EVERYTHING!
