Many people wish for Peace of mind, or a sense of relief. They’re yearning to feel free – free from everything they don’t like and feel imprisoned by.

Freedom is a spiritual quality that’s part of our divine essence. It’s already our nature to experience and express freedom. We have it at the level of mind and then it becomes our experience. Even a prisoner of war in a foreign jail can find the Freedom in his mind, because that’s where it’s located.

A Course in Miracles teaches us, “When you are sad, know this need not be . Depression comes from a sense of being deprived of something you want and do not have. Remember that you are deprived of nothing except by your own decisions, and then decide otherwise.” T-4.IV.3.

I’ve been a student and teacher of the Science of Mind, and A Course in Miracles for decades, and ACIM teaches that forgiveness offers everything we want and we’re entitled to miracles. This is probably unlike any forgiveness you’ve experienced before – it’s so fast-acting.

When someone has a problem with obsessive, compulsive behavior or avoidance they’ll often use will power to make a change. There’s a sense of loss, and lack, and the will power is used to get control of ourselves.

Will power is part of a plan of behavior modification that can be a helpful start when we’re feeling out of control, but it doesn’t heal the root cause of the behavior. Will power only intensifies the deep craving that is the root cause of the problem.

All healing is at the level of the mind – NOT at the level of behavior.

If Love isn’t part of the plan for healing,
there won’t be a healing, only a shift in behavior. That’s not enough.

If we don’t feel worthy of miraculous permanent healing, we might settle for will power.

For true spiritual healing we look to the mind for causation. There’s a false belief at the root cause of every issue. Most problems are an expression of belief in lack. How can will power heal a belief in lack? It cannot.

The healing we’re looking for comes from *opening to giving and receiving the Love that’s restorative and healing.

We resort to will power when we feel spiritually weak. Will power is a function of the personality and is born of a sense of separation and lack. Willingness is the willingness to choose Love, and to follow Spirit’s guidance.

Our willingness is ALL that’s required to have true and lasting transformation.

It seems so simple and, quite frankly, too easy, but neither is accurate.

When we’re craving, needing and wanting to satisfy that compulsion, we’re feeling deprived. The real craving is for union with Spirit.

In that moment of craving, we don’t have a connection with Spirit that lets us know we’re fully loved and held in perfect wholeness. That knowing of our perfection is missing from our awareness.

Our willingness to Partner UP will heal the illusion of lack.

Only the willingness to see the union of all life brings lasting healing of the splitting the mind.

Even a little bit of willingness is instantaneous joining with Spirit, and that’s where our true and lasting healing is – in remembering our union with God and making that our top priority

Let’s make a real change this year and carry it over to the next. Let’s get out of the prison in our mind and live joy-fully!

I’ve been a student and teacher of the Science of Mind, and A Course in Miracles for decades, and ACIM teaches that forgiveness offers everything we want and we’re entitled to miracles. This is probably unlike any forgiveness you’ve experienced before – it’s so fast-acting.

The power of Love is within you, so you cannot fail as long as you put that Higher Holy Spirit Self in charge. That way we’re not trying to solve the problem from the level of the mind that made the problem up in the first place. Right?

MY LATEST ACIM PODCAST EPISODE: my topic is Perception is a Choice. Misperception is a cause of great suffering in this world. We often feel that life is happening to us, but that’s not the case. This basic teaching in ACIM is deeply healing when we apply it and have a willingness to change our mind. In this episode I share experience of moving out of the habit of choosing suffering and choosing to listen to the Voice for God. Transformation happens when we can make a higher choice. We’re in this together and we can lean upon each other!
