So many people have “abandonment issues.” What if that fear of abandonment comes from the guilt we feel because we think we left God, rejected God, and we’re the ones who did the abandoning in the first place? And what if that belief were completely false?
In A Course in Miracles, Jesus teaches that in what is taught was his darkest hour, when he was supposed to feel abandoned by his disciples, he felt no such thing.
Why? How could that be?
He didn’t FEEL abandoned because he KNEW that it wasn’t even possible for him to be abandoned. The fullness of God’s Love and goodness is always available to us in maximum strength if we’re willing to allow it to be known to us. It’s ALWAYS right where we are. We ARE the kingdom of God.
Feelings of abandonment are simply reflections of our own edging God out of our awareness and then believing that God would retaliate by abandoning us. This belief is the cause of unworthiness. It is the cause of feelings of abandonment, but that doesn’t make them justified.
Feelings of abandonment and justification are always about our own disconnection from God, from Love and from all that is holy in our own beingness.
Isn’t that good news?
When we remember our true Self, our true identity, then all fear of abandonment, all guilt, shame, blame, etc. falls away because it cannot stand in the face of our knowing the truth. In order to feel all of that distress we have to willingly believe things that aren’t true and invest in them.
The kingdom has already been given, it’s pre-installed. Let’s recognize the kingdom today and give up believing we could be abandoned.
In unity there’s no abandonment.
We’re one with the one and ever shall it be so!

LATEST ACIM PODCAST EPISODE: my topic is Worry Less with ACIM. Things are so insane in the world right now that it has a lot of people worried. ACIM has clear practices that assist us in eliminating worry by addressing the root causes. In this episode, I share from the ACIM Workbook and how to apply the lessons so that worry is dissolved at the level of cause. Now’s the time of our awakening and when we put our awakening first, we’re on the fastest path to eliminating suffering in our lives. Worry is optional, suffering is optional, Love is not.
