One of the most beautiful aspects of life is that we’re not alone. We’re interconnected and interdependent. Whether we like it or not. Without a cooperative effort, much of life would be unbearable, and yet there are many times when I’ve felt momentarily resistant to being cooperative.
“When I said ‘I am with you always,’ I meant it literally. I am not absent to anyone in any situation. Because I am always with you, you are the way, the truth and the life.” A Course in Miracles, TVII.III.1
One of the primary ways I’ve experienced the ego identification was when I’ve felt that belligerence rise up within me and I’ve refused to cooperate.
When I was younger, I felt it all the time. That haughty, resistant, argumentative attitude was one of the ways that I would try to reclaim my power when I felt powerless. I’d try to regain my power by desperate means and, of course, now, I know better.
Opening my heart to collaboration and cooperation is my power! When we work together, we are so much stronger than when we work alone. Working together we can form a collective intelligence that is far greater and more powerful than anything I could create alone. It can also be far more satisfying.
Now, I prefer to be a bridge builder and a collaborator. The blessings are enormous and I am grateful every day!
A powerful daily spiritual practice is to find one significant way that you can cooperate more effectively with the people in your family, your workplace, school, or community.
By being willing to cooperate, I build a bridge. As I walk across the bridge, I bring with me an offering of my heart. By a simple act such as this I make the world a more peaceful place and that’s being truly helpful. It’s not so hard to fulfill your purpose when you know your purpose is simply to Love and be loved.

LATEST ACIM PODCAST EPISODE: my topic is Choosing Heaven on Earth. ACIM teaches us that we can choose heaven or hell – it’s our decision. In this week’s episode, I share how we can help ourselves out of the low vibration of guilt and shame and live at a higher vibration. It’s not natural for us to suffer.
Thanks Jennifer 💫🙏🏻💞
