It took me so very long to see that willingness without trust and faith in Spirit, without actually leaving the prayer on the altar, is not trust, is not Faith.
When there is no trust and faith in God then the trust and faith is in the ego.
Ego does not answer prayers.
Ego is not a power to bring healing.
When we’re in negative thinking about anything there’s a splinter in the mind.
The more painful our thoughts are, the more ripe for healing that belief is.
It’s key to our healing to be able to understand that this is the moment to make a new decision. Now. It’s always now.
Let’s claim our healing. Do not start coping, managing, medicating or denying. It’s like having a wound that isn’t healing and is getting infected.
We can’t ignore the splinters in the mind and still hope to heal. With the help of the Higher Holy Spirit Self, we can clean out the CAUSE of the infection and then the wound can heal. And the healing DOES NOT take time. It only requires our willingness.
Therefore, we must remain open-minded and cultivate open-mindedness so that we aren’t generating new splinters in the mind.
“The centrality of open-mindedness, perhaps the last of the attributes the teacher of God acquires, is easily understood when its relation to forgiveness is recognized.
Open-mindedness comes with lack of judgment. As judgment shuts the mind against God’s Teacher, so open-mindedness invites Him to come in.
As condemnation judges the Son of God as evil, so open-mindedness permits him to be judged by the Voice for God on His behalf.
As the projection of guilt upon him would send him to hell, so open-mindedness lets Christ’s image be extended to him. Only the open-minded can be at peace, for they alone see reason for it.” A Course in Miracles – Manual for Teachers, Characteristics of God’s Teachers, Chapter 4 – X Open Mindedness
We all have free will to hold onto our past. If you’re willing to release the attachment to the past perspective, you’ll be amazed at how the mind can heal. Things I thought I could never get over I rarely ever think of, and there’s no pain when I do. Now THAT is miraculous!
It does take great willingness to do this work. And we can do it together but no one can do it for us. Doing it together makes it so much easier, because we are the two or more gathered in the name and the nature of the Christ. No false belief can withstand the healing power of the Christ!
If you’re feeling stuck, trapped, depressed, or just sad, forgiveness is the way to Freedom. That’s why we offer free forgiveness workshops a couple of times each month. The next one is September 7. If you take the steps I suggest, you will experience more Freedom.
We are the ones who can set ourselves free. Freedom is in the mind. It’s a choice we make. It’s the gift we share!
If you’d like support in finding freedom in your heart and mind, in letting go of ALL guilt, shame, blame, regret, resentment, jealousy and anything else you’ve been hanging onto, please consider taking my Finding Freedom From Fear spiritual bootcamp and joining with other like-minded souls who are doing the same work. I find that when we do the work together we get there faster and we laugh a lot more. It’s so much easier when we peel the layers of painful patterns together. Easier, faster, more Love, more Light, more fun, that’s the way for me! You’re invited!
Let’s make a quantum leap together.
If you’d like my help developing a spiritual practice of Self-care that clears out the old patterns of past beliefs in order to move out of the unconscious guilt and punishing yourself, blaming others, living like a victim or a martyr, feeling guilty and ashamed, and into feeling more connected with Spirit, please check out my Finding Freedom From Fear Spiritual Bootcamp class– it’s designed to be a rocket booster for your spiritual journey.Starts September 9. Follow your intuition – only you know if this is right for you right now.
If you feel you’ve been holding yourself back and letting fear decide, this might be your answered prayer! If it’s right for you, you’ll know. Trust your intuition!
Not sure if one of my programs is right for you? You’re invited to schedule a free Exploratory Call with one of our certified spiritual counselors to get your questions answered and see if this program can bring you the results YOU would like!
There are times to be still, and times to take action. Trust your intuition! Let that Higher Intelligence be your guide and everything in your life will be aligned with Love!
NEW PODCAST EPISODE: my podcast’s topic is Transforming Attachments to Sin and Suffering. The mind training that A Course in Miracles offers us is liberating. When the mind is healed we often see that circumstances, bodies, relationships and other worldly things also heal. At the very least, the things that used to bother us no longer do when our mind can perceive correctly. In this episode, Jennifer shares her experience of moving out of feeling guilty and ashamed for feeling like a failure to recognizing the healing opportunities in front of us. It’s not so hard when we put Spirit in charge.
