I find myself saying so this so frequently: “it’s a relief to give up the false beliefs and perceptions, to change my mind and go the other way.” The relief is from suffering. The relief is from agitating myself.
Yesterday there were a series of minor things that didn’t go as I’d planned. Ultimately, everything is consistently working together for my good, and I’ve come to see that’s true even when it doesn’t go as I had hoped it would.
Being able to relax my mind around what I would like to have happen and be open to what’s unfolding right in front of me is a great gift. When my mind is relaxed, meaning that it’s not agitated because of being attached to thinking things should be different, then I can see and feel, and know – really recognize – the amazing moment that’s right in front of me.
Heaven is a choice I must make.
“What need have I to linger in a place of vain desires and of shattered dreams, when Heaven can so easily be mine?” A Course in Miracles Lesson 226
Life is always offering us the opportunity to lay our burdens down. When the pain becomes unbearable it means it’s WAY past time to lay that burden down. Where? On the holy altar fire of God’s Infinite Love. We give the burden to the Holy Spirit and accept the healing. We relinquish our attachment to the way we think it should be or wish that it was. And then we’re free. When it’s hard, we ask for help.
We are all worthy of heaven right now.
There is no hell, just the choice to avoid heaven.
Heaven is a choice I must make. Now. This now. Right now. Amen!
And that’s real relief.
Let’s make a quantum leap together.

NEW PODCAST EPISODE! The most recent episode of my podcast’s topic is Heaven Requires No Sacrifice. Every day we can choose heaven or hell, for ourselves and for everyone. Many spiritual students resist the deeper healing of the mind because they believe it will require sacrifice, but this is an ego fantasy of doom and gloomy loneliness. In this episode, I share the teaching of ACIM regarding sacrifice so that we can see there’s no reality to the illusion of sacrifice. We can choose heaven now.
