It’s not that we live in a way that’s destructive and then say, “Oh, I’m giving all the consequences to God.” No. It’s not that at all.
We can learn from every unloving choice we make. And that’s what a mistake is – it’s an unloving choice.
We Can Make Unloving Choices and Learn from Them
We can recognize, “Oh, gee, I just made an unloving choice. Okay, I’m giving that to the Holy Spirit for correction. It’s for my learning. I’m willing to learn from it.”
I’m grateful to be a happy learner.
I don’t have to be a sinful, punished, tortured learner. The unhappy learner is not my way.
For me, the auto-correction practice was given to me before I even came to A Course in Miracles. When I began to practice it, ACIM was all the validation of what I was already doing. I started giving it all to God, giving it to the Higher Self, giving it to the Holy Spirit.
And the Consequences Started Disappearing
I noticed I wasn’t feeling guilty and ashamed. I wasn’t feeling filled up with blame and regret and resentment anymore. Day after day I began to realize, “This is really working. This is really working!”
I am so happy. I am so grateful.
You could call it a metaphor or an example in the world. The old laborious way was we had to go through penance and do all kinds of things to get relief from our negative judgments and opinions.
But now we have autocorrect. Bam! We can do it.
If we want to say, “Ooh! I want that back” – bam! We can do that too.
Choosing to Be a Happy Learner
It’s so much easier now to communicate clearly and correctly – meaning with Love, with compassion, with tenderness.
It’s an example in the world of form of Spirit supporting us, making our life easier.
The same thing is happening in our mind with the auto-correction. Let the Holy Spirit come in and be the auto-corrector in our mind.
This is what we practice in my Masterful Living Program – choosing to be happy learners together, giving the heavy lifting to the Holy Spirit.
We can do this. We can let go of the punishment. Let’s start now!

NEW ACIM PODCAST EPISODE: In this episode, Are You Afraid of the Light? I dive into A Course in Miracles Chapter 13, Section 6 – “Finding the Present” – exploring why we struggle to see people as they are now instead of through the lens of our past experiences with them. I unpack the Course’s teaching that “the past can cast no shadow to darken the present unless you are afraid of the light,” and I get honest about my own edge: the stickiness I feel when someone hurts the people I love. I make an important distinction – you don’t have to give them access to your bank account to practice seeing their Christ nature. I share how intellectual understanding of spiritual teachings isn’t enough; we must actually live and apply them moment by moment. Come to a free forgiveness workshop at PowerofLoveMinistry.net – because when we see our brothers and sisters without their past, we are released too. We’re doing this together.
