I’ve just put out a new episode of my A Course in Miracles Podcast and the topic is Worry Less with ACIM. One of the things that ACIM makes clear to us is that when we’re worried, we’re afraid. And when we’re afraid we’ve forgotten who we are, and whose we are, because we’re seeing ourselves as a victim of the world.
Everyone in this world has some fear coming up – it’s coming up for healing. We don’t have to launch into fixing problems, instead we can truly do our healing at the root cause which is in our consciousness, but we forget that.
I’ve been watching the Apple+ TV Show Silo, and in that story most of the leaders are playing whack-a-mole with the world. They have no training in expanded consciousness, all they see are problems to solve with the intellect, with manipulation, with frightening people or bribing them. It’s rough. I would not want to live in that world, and yet that world is where some people live in our neighborhoods and communities. Their world is a dog-eat-dog world. We can choose the world we’d like to live in. My world isn’t dog-eat-dog. It’s one where we care for each other.
I’ve been preparing for the new program we’re offering, Change Your Mind About Your Self – (early bird ends Tues April 15, tomorrow) and I’ve been contemplating, as I often do, how can we save time and speed up our awakening.
A Course in Miracles tells us that it’s a mind-training designed to save time. We’re all going to get there in the end, but ACIM gets us there faster. We’re all going to return to our right mind and our loving heart.
“The Atonement is the device by which you can free yourself from the past as you go ahead. It undoes your past errors, thus making it unnecessary for you to keep retracing your steps without advancing to your return.” TII.6.
The Atonement is the undoing of all the false beliefs and all the consequences of our wrong decisions. The Atonement is the acceptance of Unity, and the realization that the separation never occurred. We just have to be willing.
When we choose to manage and cope with situations, when we settle for unhappiness, when we react to the world, we’re not willing.
What I see is that the main thing for myself is to keep focused on awakening, not solving problems. I won’t say I don’t get distracted. I won’t say I don’t forget. I do, but I find that when I forget and when I get distracted, I feel Peace slipping away and then I know I’ve forgotten the main goal – awakening, Atonement, the Christ.
We’ve been trained by the world to say only Jesus can live as the Christ. Only Jesus is perfect. Only Jesus is miraculous.
But what did he tell us? “Even more shall you do.”
So, let’s not argue with him.
Let’s keep our eye on the prize: which is our awakening, accepting the Atonement.
It takes a great willingness to stay focused and what I know is that it’s so much easier for me when we do it together.
That’s one of the main reasons I teach and love community. It helps me stay focused on my goal!

In this episode, I share from the ACIM Workbook and how to apply the lessons so that worry is dissolved at the level of cause.
