ACIM Rewind: Let the Sunshine In! Review #1: Lesson 59

Lesson #41 (God goes with me wherever I go [W-p1.59.3.1]): I don’t know about you, but I have a liiitle trouble seeing myself as perfect. I look at my coffee-stained shirt. Or my messy house. And my asshat mind thinks-I could do better. Lesson 41 reminds me that living within the Divine is perfect certainty. That despite the illusion of a house in disarray, or spilled coffee, a perfect peace abides within. Just around the corner of my misperception. God/Source IS the All-That

ACIM Rewind: Get Your Love On-ACIM Review 1: Lesson #58

More Reviews! Lesson #36 (My holiness envelops everything I see [W-p1.58.3.2): What you see is, literally, what you get. When we picture our lives as guilty, all we see is guilt. In our interactions. In others. In ourselves. But our Divine awesome is waaaay above all of this. And when we look for it, we can remember the greatness we were born to live. Lesson #37(My holiness blessed the world [W-p1.58.5.1]): Every person we see in love ricochets that love back at least a thous

ACIM Rewind: Wisdom from Rover-ACIM Review #1: Lesson #57

Lesson #31 (I am not the victim of the world I see [W-p1.57.2.2]): My sister used to have a dog named Sadie. Sadie was playful & beautiful. But Sadie REALLY loved eating things. Barbies. Plastic. The dialogue with Sadie was ‘Sadie leave it!’. And so it is with us. We can choose to hang on to the thought that we are victims of the world we see. Or choose to ‘Leave it’ at the door. When the world feels as crazy we can choose to be victims or co-creators of a new paradigm. And t

Hold fast. Stay strong and remember who you are today, dear friends. The world may feel crazy, but you, my sweet joy warriors, are Superheroes. I'll elaborate. Lesson #26 (My attack thoughts are attacking my invulnerability [W-p1.56.2.1]): When I sit in judgement, I am really just judging myself. Every negative action I undertake. Word I speak. Or thought I think. Is just a method of control I am undertaking to try to stem the ever-loving tide of negativity my thoughts tell

ACIM Rewind: How do you Feel about Orange Tulle? Review #1: ACIM Lesson 55

Simply the best-More ACIM Reviews. Lesson #21:(I am determined to see things differently. [W-p1.55.2.2]) A personal fav- Despite my insane urge to see all this dirty laundry at my life. I am determined to see the truth. That life is bigger than the laundry. Or my to-do list. That truth is heartbreakingly beautiful and more real than I could ever imagine (like my partner doing laundry ; ) ).

More of what ACIM has gifted us with so far…. Lesson #16 (I have no neutral thoughts. [W-p1.54.2.1]): We are powerful co-creators. So why not create a Unicorn-dance party rather than Eeyore’s version of reality? Be a Tigger. Let the world’s ah-mazing shine through. Lesson #17: (I see no neutral things.[W-p1.54.2.1]): Projections are reflections. A mirror reflecting back our inner reality. And the cool part is, our mirrors can reflect the light. In all beings. In ourselves. Wh

More greatest hits in Review. Brought to you by ACIM: Lesson #11: (My meaningless thoughts are showing me a meaningless word. [W-p1.53.2.1]) Our lives are a picture show. And when I believe that the plot? I am not watching who the characters and situations really are. I’m just fooling myself into believing a story that doesn’t really exist. When I investigate the truth behind my false perception-I find the real story. Love and Divinity within all I see. Lesson #12: (I am upse

ACIM Rewind: Finding What Is-ACIM Review 1: Lesson #52

Today is another ACIM Greatest Hits version 2.0. A collection of reviews of what the Course has covered so far. Here’s my personal highlight reel. Lesson #6 (I am upset because I see what's not there)[W-p1.52.1.1]: I am a magician. When I am upset, I am Houdini. I replace what is real-love and acceptance (especially of myself)-with the smoke & mirrors of uncertainty. Never fear, the Divine is beautiful, majestic & unchangeable.

ACIM Rewind: ACIM Greatest Hits-Review I: Lesson 51 Monkey Dance Party

This morning my mind monkeys were having a dance party. Little shifts. They were roaming around whispering things like You are not articulate. You never say the right thing. You will never be enough. It was a communication-themed party. And I truly wished I had not been invited. Then the cats started crying with the monkeys….It was a cacophony of chaos. In my mind. Outside of it. But then I picked up the course: Review #1: Nothing I see means anything [W-p1.51.1.]: Let go of

ACIM Rewind: The Story of Stripey-ACIM Lesson 50

I am sustained by the Love of God. [W-p1.50.1.1] When I was little, I had a pillow I took everywhere. It’s name was Stripey. Because of its green and white stripes. Brilliant. Stripey came with me on vacations. It cradled me to sleep every night. Stripey even smelled like pancake syrup from the many early morning breakfasts we shared together. I loved stripey. But I became dependent upon Stripey. At a certain age when I was unable to sleep without a particular pillow it becam

ACIM Rewind: Exorcising Our Scary Thoughts-ACIM Lesson 49

God’s Voice speaks to me all through the day. [W-p1.49.1.1] Have you ever seen the movie the Exorcist? Whaaaaat??? Stick with me. For those that haven’t seen the flick, it chronicles the possession of a young girl by a nefarious spirit. It talks through her. Engages her in scary things. In one scene, it even results in some graphic projectile vomiting all over a holy man (Yipes!). In truth, my monkey-brain does the same thing y’all. I’m not kidding. It tells me negative thing

There is nothing to fear. [W-p1.48.3.1] Hmmm….Plagues. War. Petulance. Excuse me Lesson 48, there is nothing to fear?!! You’ve gotta be kiddin’ me. Buuuut Lesson 48 invites me to have another looksie. To choose again. If my world is an out-picturing of my reality, for example, then I am always in choice. So why would I choose all the anger. The unrest? Well, that’s really just Pam Grout’s Asshat talking. My monkey mind. The small self’s idea of what it falsely believes the wo

ACIM Rewind: We are Popeye-ACIM Lesson 47

God is the Strength in which I trust. [W-p1.47.1.1] I am not known to be talented with grammar. In fact, when I was in college (for the second time), my partner proof-read my essays. I’m that bad at it. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not upset at myself. It is just not my forte. But even I noticed something about today’s ACIM lesson. The word Strength is capitalized. And, like most of ACIM, I believe it is purposeful. When I trust in my small ‘s’ strength. The one run by my fears

God is the Love in which I Forgive. [W-p1.46.6.1] When I was a teenager, I had a friend. This friend was a loving, kind person. When she listened I felt unbelievably heard and seen. This friend had a dysfunctional family. I can’t even imagine what her daily life was like. At times this friend would act out. She would attempt to hold onto relationships which came into her life. Sometimes those she saw in mine which seemed to be just what she needed. At the time I called this t

ACIM Rewind: Falling in Love with Monkeys-ACIM Lesson 45

God is the Mind with which I think. [W-p1.45.1.1] I have a secret to share. It’s deliciously shocking. I have negative thoughts. Lots of them. Sometimes they flow like Niagara Falls into my life. And there isn’t a damn in the world that can stop up that shift. Take last night, for example. My (cat) child was up at 3 AM. Crying. Getting in his brothers face while he was trying to sleep. Eating his cat-brothers food for no reason at all (his bowl was full). I. Was. Not. Pleased

God is the Light in which I see. [W-p1.44.4.1] As I was on a walk this morning, I was pondering the tulips. It is winter here in the Midwest and snow is always on the horizon. But this morning happened to smell like Spring for some reason. And it made me think of the tulips. Of the miraculous lives they live. Once planted they seed and reseed themselves. They poke their brave heads out of the snowy ashes of Winter. Triumphant in their victorious dance towards the light. They

ACIM Rewind: Bird is the Word-ACIM Lesson 43

God is my Source. I cannot see apart from Him. [W-p1.43.5.1] There is a tenant in spirituality that details the difference between perceiving and knowing. Perceiving-what our small selves tell us is ours to live vs sweet security of knowing-where our souls truly belong. I’ll admit, I’ve struggled at times trying to be in my knowing. Comprehending how to just be with the moment. Rather than doing the things the world tells me are mine to do (clean the house, vacuum the carpet,

God is my strength. Vision is His gift. [W-p1.42.3.1] I’ve mentioned I was a chronic insomniac as a child. The worst part, for me, wasn’t a fear of the dark. Or the monsters I was sure were hiding beneath my bed. It was the loneliness. A feeling that I was the only one in the world up at that hour. Before the internet, or cell phones, there wasn’t a method of reaching out across time and space in the middle of the night. So there was just 10-year old me. Alone and scared. Mos

God goes with me wherever I go. [W-p1.41.1.1] Yesterday was not a grand day. I felt tired. Anxious. Unseen. Unheard. I moped around the house. For no reason at all. Even the cats steered clear of my gloomy presence. I just couldn’t get motivated. And this left me feeling invalidated. If I couldn’t DO who was I? Then the labels came. Lazy. Unsuccessful. Even self-doubt took a turn on my mind merry-go-round. It made me feel lonely. It made me feel like I was the only person i

ACIM Rewind: I AM-Lesson 40 ACIM

Om. Aum. I AM. The sound of the Universe. The all that is. There is a great tradition in a myriad of religions behind ‘I AM’ statements. Declarations of power and purpose wrapped up in a package of the Universe vibrating with a frequency of unity and love. So when we say, as Lesson 40 states, I AM a blessed child of God [W-p1.40.3.1]-we are making a pretty profound declaration to the Universe. Asking to be in vibratory accord with the truest desires of our Divine selves. And
