A Course in Miracles tells that we cannot judge and still hope to learn.  Our judgments actually block our learning.  

It makes sense when you think about it.  If we prefer to think we know what everything is for, are we open to any insights or learning?  No, we’re not, because we think we already know whatever is worth knowing.  

How can we be open to insight when we’ve already made up our mind what everything is for?

Have you had the experience of repeating the same errors, the same unkindness, the same self-attack, again and again, like a hamster on a wheel?  

I have, and my experience seemed to “prove” to me that I wasn’t very smart, that I wasn’t really learning anything from all my spiritual studies.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  

My experience didn’t prove my beliefs were correct.  Not at all.

In fact, my experience was simply proving to me that my beliefs are made manifest as my experience.  

My experience of mental, emotional and even physical pain all came as a direct result of my interpretation of my experience.  Life didn’t have to be painful.  I did that to myself.  

The good news is that the pain pushed me to ask, “is this thought actually true?”

And I began to realize that my beliefs weren’t true.  My thoughts weren’t true.  And that meant, I could choose truth.  When I was willing to do choose to know the truth and give up my perceptions and judgments, then I truly began to heal.  

This is so important to understand – it’s life changing.

Our unhappy experiences prove that we believe our false beliefs – the truth will set us free from repeating these unhappy experiences.

In New Thought we say, “change your thinking, change your life.”  And we talk about “false beliefs.”  

It’s more helpful to realize that ALL beliefs are false and only truth is true.  

How do you know the difference between a belief and a truth?  

All beliefs are conditional.

Truth is true for everyone all the time.  

Beliefs are constantly shifting and changing, like the sinking sands.

Like God itself, Truth is unchanging – it’s the rock we can safely build our house upon.

I encourage us all to look around our lives and see where we might have been misled into thinking that our experiences are proving our beliefs, when, in fact, our experience is just proving the existence of our belief.

When we rid ourselves of the belief we rid ourselves of the experience.

For example, if I believe that I’ll never be truly happy because I’ll never be able to (fill in the blank), that’s a false belief and as long as I believe it, it will seem true for me and I’ll experience what I expect, which is unhappiness.

Many, many times I’ve spoken with people who felt helpless and hopeless in their relationships, their jobs, their body.  When they become willing to change their minds and actually reach out to the Higher Holy Spirit Self to heal their mind, they experience miracles.  It really works!

How do we change our minds?

How do we rid ourselves of the false beliefs?

This is the focus of all that I share.  It’s what we were talking about in our Change Your Mind About Your Body class today.  

It’s surprising how incredibly simple it is to heal the mind, when we’re willing to make a change.  

If we’re not willing to make a change then we just keep revisiting the same painful lessons and it seems very hard – I know this, because that was me for a very long time.

We cannot judge and hope to learn.

To release the false beliefs, opinions and judgments we offer them to the Higher Holy Spirit Self for healing.  We don’t have to figure out HOW to have a healing we simply ALLOW.  

Sometimes we might have to release, let go and let God, 1000 or more times if we have a strong attachment to a belief.  But if we do it a few times a day, then we’re sure to let it go before too long – anything is better than struggling with the same painful belief for years and decades.

In order to Love and cherish ourselves, we must be willing to do this work and let go of the past.  It actually does work when give it to the Higher Holy Spirit Self.  When we release it, we can then realize we were never victims of the past, that was our interpretation.  Everything is for us and nothing is against us when we see with divine eyes.

Now is the time for us to rise and shine and throw off these meaningless burdens of false beliefs!  

Healing is easier than we might think.  Our willingness to Partner UP with the Higher Holy Spirit Self to do the healing is the thing that works.  I know, I’ve proved it and I’ve worked with thousands who have done the same.  Let’s be willing to have a healing NOW!

Back in July of 2019 I did two episodes of my ACIM podcast that may be of interest.  They’re on the topic of  Healing the Mind About the Body Part 1 and Part 2.

Let’s make the most of every opportunity for our healing and awakening and remember to laugh when we forget.
