Many people tell me they’ve studied A Course in Miracles for 10, 20, even 30 years. It surprised me so much when folks began telling me the living, practical application never occurred to them, and now they understand why their lives haven’t become miraculous and transformed.
Studying ACIM keeps us up in our heads. The real change comes from taking the workbook lessons into every minute of every day.
People tell me that when they apply what I share, it really works. I came to my own realizations of how effective this practice is through my willingness to live ACIM. That’s what ACIM tells us all the way through: we’ll be guided in what to say and what to do.
I can be driving in the car, riding the bus, sitting in a class, or cooking dinner, and doing the very same practice:
Holy Spirit, help me now. I’m not interested in thinking these thoughts anymore. Please remove them from my mind so I never think them again. I’m only interested in thinking thoughts of Love, kindness, compassion, generosity, and willingness. Please share the benefits of this healing and expansion with everyone, so that we’re all liberating, resurrecting, and healing.
You can do that while you’re cutting the grass, brushing your teeth, or waiting for the elevator.
Here’s what ACIM says about the ideas in the workbook lessons, even the ones that seem hard to believe: “You are asked only to use them. It is their use that will give them meaning to you, and will show you that they are true.”
Don’t kid yourself. You don’t have to get quiet in order to do your practice.
Being still and knowing who you are is a profound practice. We can also practice one minute at a time.
Do we give ourselves permission to entertain and invest in thoughts of lack, attack, limitation, and separation? That’s the old practice, the new one is to align with the divine, and invest in thoughts of compassion and Love.
Our true identity is the Holy Christ Self.
Our true identity is the Higher Holy Spirit Self.
Our true identity is the risen Christ.
Why not keep our focus on staying there while we’re driving to work, cooking the food, or going to the dentist? We can bless everyone in our vicinity. If we notice irritation or frustration at the office, we can call the name of God, and the angels instantly surround us.
The living of it, not just the studying of it, is what makes the difference.

SUNDAY: Family Forgiveness – another FREE Forgiveness Workshop. The holidays are coming. Thanksgiving is only weeks away. Old resentments and family dynamics come up for healing during this last 2 months of the year. Holding onto grievances blocks our faith, trust, and capacity for Love, the only way to have more Love is to be more loving. We’ll do the healing work together.
LATEST PODCAST EPISODE: Resolving Your Anger. I explore why anger keeps coming back, no matter how well we manage it, cope with it, or talk ourselves out of it. If you’re tired of replaying the same upset and wondering why it still follows you, I share the word ACIM uses for what anger does. Imagine anger finally losing its grip on you.
