Thank you Sean, for reminding me that I am loved when I can not hear the Holy Sprit speaking to me. And thank you for telling me that I have an option to refuse projections in either direction. And it’s not only an option I have, it’s also my work to do until we return home together. Thanks for holding hands with us to walk this together.
Thank you Yihsing for allowing me to remember that I too am loved and am part of this spiritual family, altogether helping one another home. The company is good, the way is clear, and we are so much closer than we realize 🙏🙏
Thank you, Sean. This reminds me of lesson 78, “Let miracles replace all grievances.” I recognize that the gap between my brother and myself are my grievances—my “shield of hate” that prevent me from seeing my brother, who is the Son of God standing in perfect light. (I have so many grievances!!) In that gap, it seems are all of the projections, and I hold them up to obstruct my vision and to thwart miracles. A peculiar (and fascinating) line in lesson 78 is, “The Holy Spirit leans from him to you, seeing no separation in God’s Son.” The Holy Spirit leans…
So today, I’m practicing lesson 78 and, with the Holly Spirit’s help, gently laying down my shield of hate.
That's a lovely line from the lesson, Kimberley. Thank you. The idea - and felt sense - of the Holy Spirit leaning from the other towards us is powerful healing. Really, the only way I know to truly lay down all my defense. Thanks for reading and being here 🙏🙏
Yes Sean, the only way we heal our brothers is to see them as healed, and by doing this, we are reminded that this must be true of ourselves and therefore we cannot be sick either. When we see their true wholeness as Love we see our own, it has to be that way, for we are only ever One.
Thank you for reminding me of this, because I so often forget and allow myself to be dragged back into the ego's world of pain. And it is only in our relationships that we can heal our minds about the body, the seeming situations it finds itself in, and the physical and mental torture it believes it suffers every day.
Thank you Sean, this is very helpful. I’m filled with hope and joy, remembering that Help is here, all is well and it’s all ok. This is so powerful and beautifully simple reminder : -"There I go projecting again . . . " Noticing is healing; we need do nothing more. - In the moment of darkness I like to remind myself ‘the Process is not designed to fail me’ and ‘failure is not an option’ 😊
For me, the takeaway from week is this quote from Tara Singh:
God loves His children
and He only has one child.
Love is His child.
His child is a state of being,
not a physical vessel.
You are His child when you are not separated
from another.
..and the subsequent realisation that the Son of God, is Love itself, 'a state of being, not a physical vessel'. I'd never quite got my head around the 'Son of God' phrase and seeing now this quote has raised the understanding that I was conceptualising this as purely a physical presence. A moment of clarity!!
Thanks for sharing, Martin. I'm glad it was helpful. Tara Singh's thinking about the course was very clear - both in terms of understanding the material and in terms of understanding how to apply it in the context of our lives. Very helpful teacher!
Thank you Sean. This piece reminded me if a conversation I have with two friends. It always turns to illness and this time they were telling me that there future and ending will be grim with a certain ending because of hereditary illnesses. I didn't want to accept this vision they had of themselves, I saw it as a self forfilling prophecy and an unhealthy thought (that's my judgement) what should I do in these circumstances?
Listen, see them as a holy child of God the same as me? Is that enough?
I can't change their minds or argue the point with them. It's their vision, but I don't agree. Can I really over ride all their illusions with visions of the truth, that they are healed, loved and cherished by God?
At the level of the body, I would just be as helpful as I can be in the given moment. Sometimes people need to talk about death or a certain form of death in order to calm their fear. If there is a way to see the fear and respond gently to that - without making it worse - then do that.
Of course, on the other hand, your friends are not bodies and therefore can't actually die. So another way to look at this is to ask the Holy Spirit to help you see them in a way that teaches you how to teach them that they are not bodies, cannot die, and are thus totally free. This is not about lecturing anybody on A Course in Miracles or nondual metaphysics. It's a way of being present to the other that touches them at the level of truth, and not the level of illusion, where guilt and fear always fester.
One way to do this is to ask in a given situation, what am I not seeing here that God WOULD see? And, conversely, what am I seeing that God would NOT see?
Fear and guilt in the other are always a sign that we are not entirely aligned with our Creator and with Love. In that sense, the relationship becomes an invitation to realign ourselves.
The thing is, since the outside world is the picture of an inside condition, your "friends' fears about death are really just your own fear and guilt projected (maybe about death, maybe about a fear of God or holiness). In a way, they are bearing the burden of YOUR fear, which you do not want to look at where it is - inside.
When we realize this, we can begin the work of no longer projecting and thus facing our own guilt and fear and collaborating with Jesus and the Holy Spirit to undo it where it is. This is not work that we do alone, and we do not experience the positive effects of it alone. It will help your friends as well.
Any questions or concerns, just let me know. Thank you for reading and sharing!
Hi Sean, thank you so much for your detailed reply. So you are saying that if I face my own fears about illness and death by discovering what my thoughts are about the subject, then I'll no longer encounter people who speak in this way?
I think this might take me some time, but I'll try my best.
I think it will be useful to look as though I'm looking through the eyes of God, as you suggest too. 🙏
I am saying that your interpretation of the situation is what needs to change :) And this is what the Course is so helpful with. It helps us change our mind so that what appears troubling/problematic/a crisis/etc, no longer does.
That change of mind can reach very very deep and yield VERY powerful effects. When we truly see that we are not bodies but are free, and that there is no world, then our relationships are all transformed. Everything becomes just another opportunity to remember that there is another way, and that it is inherent and we can - with all our brothers and sisters - follow it right here and now. It is the way of peace and happiness.
And it DOES take time! A lot more than I'd like :)
I'm going to ask you another question now if that's okay?
I would like you to explain this looking at the world and everything in it including all our fellow souls in a way that I can apply it in my everyday life please.
I used to study with the Brama Kumaris and they taught to see every as a soul, a son of God, when the person/s spoke ir acted negatively you would give that to God and more or less ignore the imperfections as this isn't the whole truth.
Is this what you mean to do?
I always found that there was something missing here and it seemed like bypassing somehow. It may of been just my interpretation of the teaching any way.
Do you have a method, or is this something we have to cultivate ourselves individually? It seems awfully complicated and like a riddle sometimes and not simple as is sometimes stated. I suppose it's a process of understanding and each of us is on our own path at different levels. 😊
I think this question is related to the question of spiritual fit - like, what is the path that is most helpful for me at this juncture in my life? There are lots of ways to bake a pie :)
Although I was aware of ACIM back in the mid to late eighties I did not take it up 2009 or so. I think for me I had to really let Catholicism go - come to a decision and close the door - and I also had to realize that my lifelong flirtation with Buddhism was just that - flirtation. Which is not a crime against God or nature! But it does not yield the kind of deep, sustainable and healing spiritual study and practice for which I longed.
A Course in Miracles emphasizes relationship. It's somewhat unique among "nondual" paths in that sense - we are really called to give careful attention to what is going on in our relationships. The passing ones, the casual ones, the lifelong ones. In a sense, we are asked to place the other's happiness and peace, their well-being, ahead of our own which, paradoxically, requires us to be VERY vigilant about what's going on in OUR mind - the projections, beliefs, denials, biases, the dense tangle of narrative, the intersection of perception and translation/interpretation . . .
Really simply, we are motivated to end projection not because it brings US peace - which it manifestly does - but because it liberates the other from our judgment (born of our guilt and fear). If my goal is YOUR liberation, then MY happiness is not far behind. But the switch in order - making the other primary and me secondary - is a LOT harder than it seems. There is a surprising amount of internal resistance to this very simple way of living and being.
It turns out that it's really easy to work on myself without a lot of consideration for what's happening in the lives of my kids, my friends, my partner, my co-workers, my fellow ACIM students, et cetera. I SAY I care about them all - I can be VERY performative about this caring - but in the depths, it's about me. It's like I have this default to trickle-down spirituality; if I'm doing it well, then some crumbs will trickle down to the others in my life.
I think that's unhelpful economics and unhelpful spirituality :) And ACIM is all about inverting that model.
So the Course guides us into these very intense relationships where we become devoted to seeing through OUR shit in order to allow the other to be free. The Course calls these relationships sites of learning, and emphasizes the realization that the other's interests are not separate from our own. This realization is what makes a relationship holy, and this is what makes it possible for us to finally see through the illusion/ignorance/darkness to reality/knowledge/light. Suddenly it's clear: we're not separate entities forging our way through a unforgiving cosmos - we're one! We're joined!
And then the game, so to speak, changes.
Forgive a long but hopefully helpful quote:
"In the teaching-learning situation, each one learns that giving and receiving are the same. The demarcations they have drawn between their roles, their minds, their bodies, their needs, their interests, and all the differences they thought separated them from one another, fade and grow dim and disappear. Those who would learn the same course share one interest and one goal. And thus he who was the learner becomes a teacher of God himself, for he has made the one decision that gave his teacher to him. He has seen in another person the same interests as his own" (M-2.5:5-9).
It is a spiritual practice modeled on psychotherapy; it is deeply personal; it can be brutally difficult but also - once we get over the idea that we are being asked to sacrifice anything - a kind of sustainable, non-dramatic happiness takes over and carries through the balance of the undoing/learning.
It's not for everyone! All I can say is that once it took hold of me, there was no going back. I certainly threw (and occasionally throw) some tantrums and I've had more than my share of off-days (and weeks and even months) but the Course, for me, works. It undoes the fear at the bottom of my thinking and as that fear is dissolved, what remains is Love which is in me - when I am in relationship with my brothers and sisters - but not of any one us alone (e.g., T-8.VI.8:5). It is a process, and the only claim I make with respect to it is that it is possible to be changed and to become lighter, and in that light, happier and more peaceful, which seems to redound to all our benefit. Indeed, how could it not?
Your words are like salve to my confused mind Sean. I hear Jordan Peterson interviewing the author of A Letter To The American Church where he urges church leaders to not repeat the mistakes of the past where German church leaders did nothing in the face of the holocaust. He urges individuals of Godly faith to stand up and not remain silent to injustice everywhere, wokeness, cancel culture, repression of values…all in the name of wishing to appear loving to all and peaceful in nature. Quoting, bad things happen when good people do nothing.
I then think of the words..to be in the world but not of it. What does that actually mean as we see no separation one from another. I look for the conflict within my own heart. The projection that I alone struggle with of injustice. As I see my own separation from God inside and cry out to change my perceptions, the confusion of what being in this world means troubles me.
Your readers all seem to get it. This reader cycles in and out of getting it.
Thank you for this weekly musings that remind me of my projections.
The Manual for Teachers talks about a "period of undoing" which "need not be painful, but it ususally is so experienced" (M-4.I.A.3:2). As our upside-down vision begins to right itself, our standards of judgment change. Our rules for understanding change. This reconfiguration of self, other and world is a bumpy road, and none of us do it quite the same, much less gracefully. Fear and guilt are rarely undone in one fell swoop, much less quietly :)
So in a sense when we are unsure - especially as it relates to the world and our role and relationship in and with it - it is usually a sign that we are asking good questions and not shying away from the challenging answers.
I, too, cycle in and out of understanding. But I experience the cycle less as repetition and more as recursion - that is, less as a flat circle endlessly repeating and more as a spiral, building and self-creating and extending itself. At a minimum, there is always something to learn, and often there is a lot of internal blockage to consent be dissolved. I am grateful for it all, and for those who help me figure it out as I go.
Thanks for reading and sharing, Liz. I appreciate it very much.
Thank you Sean for that reply. I spoke to my teacher who doesn’t know much about ACIM but who instinctively says he knows he is whole because within him God is and, if that’s true for him, it’s true for all, no separation. My sense of injustice, when outside of my sphere of influence, is a projection of the injustice previously experienced as a child that lingers in the nervous system, awaiting exposure, so the veil of what is true can be realised…..that all projections, both mine and others, are but everyone finding their way back to Oneness.
I marvel at a truth that can be found inside us all when we listen to that ‘voice’. There’s so many distractions to hearing it and a world, seemingly gone mad, is the call to return to Self, to heal the madness within.
Thank you Sean. I am ever grateful for your gracious and selfless writing - you embody the invitation to revisit the call to come back to this moment and the opportunity to tap into what is available everywhere - always and just be aware of our unaware distracted minds...
Your words today were so heartfelt and timely. I have been using a phrase from the Course as a mantra "Perception can make whatever picture the mind desires to see". Your words reinforced this and I am so appreciative. Thank you Sean.
