A Course in Miracles tells us:
“You have no idea of the tremendous release and deep peace that comes from meeting yourself and your brothers totally without judgment. When you recognize what you are and what your brothers are, you will realize that judging them in any way is without meaning.”  Chapter 3, Section 6.

And it’s true. From 20 years of this practice, I can say: it’s completely, absolutely true.

Twenty Years of Practice

For the last two decades, meeting myself and others without judgment has been the center of my life.  Learning how to do it. Disciplining my mind to do it. Allowing myself to do it — even when the ego insists the judgment is justified.

I won’t pretend I’ve arrived. I know I still have a ways to go. But I only feel good about that. Not bad. Not judged.  Because every time I fall down a hole for a moment — every time an old belief surfaces — I have a healing. And then I don’t fall in that hole again.

The Coercion We Don’t See

ACIM teaches something that really helped me understand why judgment is so sticky:

“All uncertainty comes from the belief that you are under the coercion of judgment.”

Think about anything in our lives that we’re uncertain about. Any area of confusion. Any place where we feel frozen.  The root is the belief that judgments — ours or someone else’s — have power over us.  Here’s the truth: we’ve agreed to them. Every judgment that has power in our lives is one we’ve consented to.  And we can withdraw that consent.

What Becomes Available

A tremendous release.

A deep peace.

A life where we meet people as they truly are — and remember WHOSE we are in the process.

That’s not a fantasy. It’s what becomes available when we practice — consistently, together, with people who hold us accountable gently, with compassion.  Reading about mind-training isn’t mind-training — and therefore isn’t healing. Practice is.

In one of our Programs, we do this daily. That’s what Masterful Living is built for — real people, real miracles.

You know you’re living A Course in Miracles when your mind is more and more peaceful.

And, you know what? It’s a LOT more joyful too!

NEW PODCAST EPISODE: You’ve Been Fighting the Wrong Battle I’ve been studying and teaching A Course in Miracles for decades years, and there’s one teaching I come back to again and again — because it’s the one that most students resist. It’s also the one that finally set me free. In this episode, I share why everything we try to fix “out there” keeps failing, and what we’re actually supposed to be looking at instead. If you’ve been feeling powerless — like the world keeps doing things TO you — this episode is going to challenge you. And it might just change where you put your attention from now on.
