One of the things that I love most about A Course in Miracles is that it applies to everything. It has an answer for everything. It points the way and then give us the option.
For years I didn’t believe Peace was possible – for others
I also love that ACIM deals with things directly. I know that it often can seem quite obtuse, but the more we spiral into these teachings, the more clear and simple they become. We really can clear the clutter in our mind.
One of the things I talk about quite often in my ACIM podcast is when the statements are very clear, such as in the Responsibility for Sight section, where it says:“This is the only thing that you need do for vision, happiness, release from pain and the complete escape from sin, all to be given you.”
That’s quite a promise! There’s only one thing we need to do for ALL release from pain to be beg given to us. Happiness! Vision! In this section we’re given what is, essentially, both a prescription for pain relief and a way to take back our power.
SO why don’t we practice the prescription? Do we really not want the Peace, happiness and pain relief? I sense it’s because we don’t believe it will work for us. It works for others, sure, but not for us.
Why else would we avoid that release from all pain and step back from the door to happiness? Could it really be the unworthiness has got us?
It’s hard to believe that the reason we don’t have Peace is because we don’t want it completely. We’re unwilling to change our mind in order to allow Peace.
In order to have Peace we must allow Peace to flow in our awareness. Which means we must give up the belief in the thoughts that are causes of lack of Peace.
Peace is just beyond our opinions. It’s there, waiting to be valued by us, in us, and as us. Peace is is our true nature. It’s part of our true identity, but we won’t remember or recognize anything that’s threatening to our identity.
We’re so used to judging and we don’t wish to give it up.
In other words, if we see our selves as less than, and unworthy of God’s we probably won’t experience Peace because we’re intent on believing something about ourselves that’s untrue.
It can seem VERY difficult to break a bad habit, but that’s only because we’re so used to operating on our own and aren’t partnering UP with that Higher Holy Spirit. And we can change our mind about that.
Since Peace IS possible, let’s go for it! And then we can share the benefits with everyone everywhere!
We have one job! It’s BE the Peace we’d like to see in the world. And that’s the message to share with everyone everywhere. We’re successful ONLY when we put Spirit in charge! Our ability has nothing to do with it. Only our willingness makes the difference.

LATEST ACIM PODCAST EPISODE: my topic is Healing the Habit of Self-Attack. Whenever we go to attacking another we’re completely blocking any possibility of having true happiness and Joy. It’s completely in our power to live a happy life, but we do have to truly live A Course in Miracles. In this episode, I shares how tp put the pedal to the metal on ending self-attack and the motivation to do so. Your happiness requires the end of self-attack. Our happiness is available now!
Vote with your heart! If you’re a citizen of these great United States, I hope you’ll feel inspired to vote. If you’re not registered, you can easily register to vote online here: https://www.vote.org/register-to-vote/ Let your voice be heard because you’re here to represent God who sent you. One thing to know: Who you vote for is private, but whether you vote is public record – so if you don’t like getting phone calls, door knockers and such, once you vote they won’t be reaching out to you. If you’re someone who sends money to support your candidate, encouraging people to vote early will save time, energy and money candidates spend trying to reach them.
