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, 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.
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!!
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?
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.
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.

Oh Sean…this makes so clear that I do not have to fix anyone or anything and clearly brings a way of peace and relief…thank you

Thank you for saying noticing my projection is healing and all I have to do. Took a deep breath and it made me smile
