What's in a Name? ACIM Lesson #303.

The Holy Christ is born in me today. It is a well-known fact that I am terrible with names. This is not intentional. But I consistently have difficulty remembering. *sigh*. It is not that I forget who people are. I could probably tell you how many children you have. Hobbies. If you like to garden. But names. Not my bag. My spiritual self says that labels are meaningless. The earthly part wishes I could just remember for pete’s sake. Lesson 303 says our collective earthly selv

Emotions. Energy in Motion. (And sometimes my personal Darth Vader).ACIM Lesson #302.

Where darkness was, I look upon the light. The past few days have not been easy, dear readers. I have been emotional shrapnel in a not-so-neat package. It was one of those weeks where life takes you up and down….And then sideways. Just to be thorough. I tried to push through the feelings. Tried stuffing them down. I forgot ALL of my tools in the moment. And then my partner walked by and said one simple thing that reversed it all. I was talking to my guides about….. Huh. Oh ye

This little light of Mine...Let it Shine! ACIM Lesson #301

And God Himself shall wipe away all tears. I’m going to share with you a little shade of my uncomfortable today dear readers. I am fortunate enough to have a workplace that is progressive enough to encourage diverse and open minds. However, in a meeting the other day I found myself judging someone. The very antithesis of what my organization tries to develop. Not for their beliefs, mind you. But for how I wanted them to receive mine. I grumbled under my breath to myself. I th

What is the Second Coming? Mic Drop Brought to you by ACIM Precursor to Lessons 301-310.

According to the precursor to 301-310. Not so much. This precursor says that the second coming is not more than the correction of our misperceptions about the world. A release to what is always with us. The knowledge that we are one. No exceptions. The Divine lives within. Angry drivers in traffic-One. But I hate asparagus ! One. ACIM says the second coming is the all-inclusive resort of the millennia. Serving up cocktails of acceptance and forgiveness. Mai-tais by the dozens

The Instant Mashed Potatoes we call life vs Eternity. ACIM Lesson #300

Only an instant does this world endure. There is an old proverb that describes two monks looking at a tree. The monks sit, looking at the tree for hours in silence. Finally, one monk says to the other “They call that a tree” and they both start laughing uproariously. Monk hysteria aside, the point of the parable is that we label things with language and corporeal understanding. Everything and everyone is so much more than the labels we place upon their countenance. We are ene

The Radiant Fire that is You. ACIM Lesson #299

Eternal holiness abides in me. Wow ACIM. Just Wow. When I have coffee on my shirt and my cat-children have their toys scattered joyously about….Lesson 299 can seem like a land far, far away. Holiness, in this chaos? Yup. Lesson 299 reminds us that holiness cannot be stored in a neat 2 X 4 storage container. That we live out of the box as LightWorkers. And because it is not our shoes put up, our perfect words or the worlds big bad expectations for ourselves that determine ou

Seeing in Truth. ACIM Lesson #298.

I love You, Father and I love Your Son. I have a bit of a habit of forgetting things. Scarves. Blankets. My phone. I often leave a trail of stuffs behind me longer than Hansel & Gretel tromping over to the Witches house. The people around me kindly attempt to pick up after me. And that makes me feel guilty. Defeated even. That I would place such a burden on someone else to care for me. But today I had a revelation-I have become energetically tied to this view of myself. The o

Being a Gift. ACIM Lesson #297

Forgiveness is the only gift I give. In The Opposite of Namaste, Timber Hawkeye talks a bit about mindfulness. That quiet place we go to rediscover what is authentically ours. He also discusses the struggle of maintaining mindfulness when you are in a stressful situation. Of resonating with your center, rather than looking outside of yourself for validation or truth. He tells a story of going to a gas pump where there were long lines due to a pump outage. As he pulled up to f

Speak on it. The Power of Presence. ACIM Lesson #296.

The Holy Spirit speaks through me today. I recently had a speaking engagement. As is tradition, I prepared. And prepared. And prepared again. I may have mentioned I am a chronic over-preparer. The presentation went well. And I had a fabulous time. But it made me think…what would have happened if it hadn’t? Then (wait for the cat story to commence), I looked at our most recent cat-family-member, CJ. CJ is very confident. He is rarely phased. He is always looking for the next f

Shine On! ACIM Lesson #295

The Holy Spirit looks through me today. A few weeks ago I held a presentation at a metaphysical bookstore. The store is lovely. It has been around for as long as I have lived in the city (here’s a hint, over 20 years!). When I arrived, the kind owner met me to see if there was anything I needed. She told me the story of how she had created this place to do the work. Not to make money. Not to be famous. But to provide a community where people who wanted to engage with like-min

Who do YOU think you are? ACIM Lesson #294

My body is a wholly neutral thing. What are you? Imelda Octavia Shanklin asks. An office worker. A retiree. A librarian you might answer. Nope, not who, WHAT says Shanklin. In the misinterpretation, she posits, we make the impersonal personal. And so it is. By identifying with our bodies. By seeing ourselves as the product of what we do rather than who we are. We see ourselves as corporeal. As finite. As vulnerable. But when we see our bodies as a vehicle for the Soul. As a p

Only Love is Real. ACIM Lesson #293

All fear is past, and only love is here. It is getting close to Halloween and my partner LOVES a good scary movie to celebrate. Scream. Freddy Kruger (aka Nightmare on Elm Street). Friday the 13th. As adrenaline pumping as these flicks are there is one thing that unites them all-they are finite. Over in 2-3 hours. And our blood pressure almost always returns to baseline at the end. Once the source of fear is gone-our thoughts, emotions and bodily chemical return to normal in

Bless your soul-Do you really think you’re in control? ACIM Lesson #292.

A happy outcome to all things is sure. I don’t know about you, dear friends, but a happy outcome is sometimes hard to believe. Especially right now. And I am of the Disney-Never-Ending-Happy-Endings ilk. (see Pollyanna post for details) But ACIM is a little more optimistic. No exceptions 292 says. Really? My ego replies. None. Only joy can be found. Tough to believe? It’s up to us says ACIM. Do you really think you’re in control? That you can will an ending cosmic time and sp

Peace be With You. ACIM Lesson #291

This is a day of stillness and of peace. Sometimes, on occasion, ACIM provides a lesson that is so clear. So beautiful. I have very little to add. Lesson 291 is just such a lesson. It says that when we use the vision of our highest self, our vision becomes clear. Peaceful. Lovely. And all we see is holiness surrounding us. Within us. When we become quiet. When we can listen, in the stillness, we hear this voice. It speaks to us of our completion. Of our wholeness. Of the path

Because I'm Happy. ACIM Lesson #290

My present happiness is all I see. Let me TELL you LightWalkers my present happiness was not all I saw when I came home from work yesterday. I was rushing around. Trying to complete my tasks. Running from one meeting to the other. Attempting to answer emails and meet expectations and….well you get the picture. My present happiness was not exactly where my mind was at. Lesson 290 put the breaks on this visit to crazy-town. It asked me to stop. Just stop. For a moment. And see

Time, Bikini tops & Unintentional 'Flashings'. ACIM Lesson # 289

The past is over. It can touch me not. Once, when I was a teenager I lost my swimsuit top in the waves of the ocean. Yup. Classy. I was so embarrassed I couldn’t go back to the beach for 2 days. Despite the fact that the average age of beach-goers was probably 80. And they MAY have seen anatomy a time or two. I was embarrassed. And I couldn’t let it go. I missed two days of white sands. Warm sunshine. And family memories. Because I was immersed in misery. This is not to dimin

Selective Amnesia. ACIM Lesson #288.

Let me forget my brother’s past today. I’ll admit it. I sometimes put my religious leaders on a pedestal. Or famous people. I’ve been known to have a fan-girl crush on chef Brooke Williamson and author Pam Grout. I have, at times, thought they must know some secret sauce to life I haven’t determined the recipe for. I follow them with eager anticipation of what juicy tidbit of life they will reveal to me. But the truth is-this is just another way I separate myself from the All

You are my goal, my Father. Only You. Have I mentioned I am objective-driven? Oh yes, my dear readers, I love, love LOVE a good check-mark on my to-do list. This probably shocks…no one. But it’s true. Every day I make a lovely little to-do list. They live on thousands of paper-shrapnel’s that pollute my dear partner’s existence. It’s lovely around here. Like type-A confetti. But Lesson 287 gives me a little Whoa There on my ego-party. And reminds me that there are other goals

Fall-ing into Silence. ACIM Lesson # 286

The hush of Heaven holds my heart today. Well, well ACIM aren’t you poetic? This is where it all gets beautiful. Majestic. You see, the world is noisy. There is so much stimulation and ‘to-do’s’ I can barely keep my laundry folded most days. This is how the world operates. Or so we are told. That to go, go, go is where it is AT! Where you accomplish things. Where you achieve. Where you are worthy. But there is another way. A quieter way. One less glamorous. One where accolade

Tell Suffering to Buzz off! ACIM Lesson # 285

My holiness shines bright and clear today. Has anyone ever played the boardgame Taboo? Taboo is a wordsmithing game I used to love as a kid. The ‘reader’ has a word they are trying to get the participants to say without using a few choice words on a list. Of course, these are the easiest words to use. So, for example, if you were trying to get your fellow contestants to say ‘apple’ you couldn’t use ‘tree’ or ‘pie’ to get them to say it. And you can’t use any part of the word.
