Sean this is truly a strange post,yet not one bit strange in many ways it’s a fantasy but a true one if fantasy could ever be true. Well the course tells us this life we think we live is a fantasy. I don’t sleep well either nor haven’t for many years and tears and terrors because I believed I was doomed bad unwanted ejected forever. I truly believed that. I do believe your friend did come to you yet at the same time knowing he didn’t but that vision was real a vision needed for you and many more people. Todays lesson 22 speaks of this it has taken me twenty years to learn I wasn’t learning Jesus course but my own course. I just didn’t know blinded by ego but at last I’m been visited by truth and all that it entails. It has taught me that a foundation has to be laid and that foundation is in the first ten lessons which I ignored as just words. Thanks again sean
Such a powerful post Sean. My heart broke wide open ! I have been holding a grievance toward a friend and it is now seen as my own fears projected on to her. I still feel the strong desire to hang on to the resentment, but there is now a stronger prayer here " to open to love". As always, thank you !
My Charlie’s name was Harry, beyond being a dear friend he was a Teacher who provided me a map to the Light. Over the years my own fearful projections led to my isolating, creating a sense of abandoning Harry in a time when I may have been helpful to him. He reached out, I didn’t often respond, I learned of he’s passing weeks after the event. I harbored guilt until one night (why the night) in tears I asked for his forgiveness, I felt him smile and explain, “nothing happened”. I still have regrets but have come to understand the guilt. Thank you to your Charlie and the reminder you provided. We are all Safe. Blessings. nick j
Sean, Thank you so, so much. Your account was absolutely on beam and straight down the line. I value it as one of the most succinct utterances on what the business of ACIM is that has come my way. I also value it for being where a truth-speaking and a heart-speaking become one.
Thank you, Sean. I cried reading that. I have had a similar experience. But it doesn't matter whether Charlie was 'real,' or a hallucination. What matters is that the "Aha" experience you got from it spoke to me, and it took something unusual for you to come to the realization that you did.
I don't find your story strange. Rather, I find it believable and so very deeply beautiful. I had many an "aha" as I began to have thoughts about my own projections in life. Your story is like a door that has opened for me. I printed it off, with the intention to revisit and revisit and....
Amongst my many "oh wow", I had situations and relationships bubble up in my mind-not out of guilt or anything, just a greater awareness, a greater understanding. I felt lighter.
This story is a miracle healing story; that is the way I feel about it. I am so grateful to you! God bless you! Fran
Of course you had this beautiful miracle of healing, Sean! Thankyou for extending it🥰, a holy instant of the One Mind. I am unfolding my understanding of my projections (just revisited T.23, IV the battleground) and knew the Monday Holy Day of your post would be a gift.
Thank you Sean for this lovely story of healing. The Holy Spirit reaches us in many ways, He waits for when we are ready to see the Truth and then he shows it to us in a way that will awaken us to the truth of the situation. Everyone is unique, everyone has an individual way of seeing things and journey to make. His death opened the portway for you to see the Truth of your relationship and an opportunity to heal you mind. He walks with us with every step and when we show a little willingness, it is then He takes our hand and helps us through.
I have been doing a 28 day forgiveness challenge throughout January and it has been the most amazing journey. It has helped me to deepen my understanding and my own work with it. I woke up from a dream the other night, where in the dream I forgave someone and I had been holding a judgement against. None of this situation was real for me in this world, but as happens in dreams, it felt very, very real in the dream. I awoke from the dream experiencing huge forgiveness for whoever it was and an absolute indescribable joy that I have never felt before. It was a feeling of freedom a complete lifting of the belief that there is anything to forgive. I simply knew that there was nothing to forgive, that it is all a dream and when we awaken we will be totally free of guilt and condemnation.
As always in dreams though it past very quickly upon waking and being back in this insane world of form. Thankfully I have the gift of being left of knowing the Truth deep inside. Although I still will have situations that sadden me, where I feel attacked or disappointed by something or other, I now understand at a very deep level within my mind that there is a world where forgiveness reigns and only Love is real.
Hi Sean, thanks for sharing. I am deeply interested in learning more about my projected thoughts at displacing guilt onto others. This is because my body is ill and is receiving treatment to survive.
So could you help me with something that happened tonight that I am having trouble with moving into extension with? I felt unseen by a friend in a ACIM prayer room. They didn't acknowledge me. It wouldn't have been purposeful, but I felt my anger rising to be ignored like that because today I had to shave my head and this was something I wanted acknowledgment of in my story.
I left the room before prayer. I sat with my annoyance and felt a deep sadness underneath that it was little me without witness. I was aware that I wanted to make my friend wrong because she also took an idea of mine (reviewing a miracle principle each night) and was reading something from the internet about it. None of this would have been purposely hurtful. But my ego didn't like not being seen, and didn't like running with MY idea of running through the miracle principles.
I am learning to watch the story that kg (that's me) is making about herself. My mind tries to find the projection. It uses the Byron Katie Judge Your Neighbour Worksheet. It still struggles to find the projection. While I recognise that my ego is involved in these hurts, it can't find the projection. 'My friend is guilty of not seeing me?' What is the turnaround then? 'I am guilty of not seeing me?' 'I am guilty of not seeing my friend?' Would you help me find it please?
I tried to replace my thoughts with 'Together we go, you and I'. To extend love, keep her onside, and remember that we are all walking each other home, to not allow this grievance to fester. She did reach out after I left the room (because I was cross) to say she hadn't seen me because she was reading, but I was still thinking 'perhaps you should set up your computer so you don't miss people like that'. It wasn't an angry thought, it could even be a helpful thought, but it wasn't a loving thought.
This stuff feels hard when I want to keep my grievance to be right rather than love. But I can't afford that anymore. I can't go on in life like that or it's very possible I won't go on in life anymore. So I want to ask for Holy Spirit to change my mind. I am willing. To totally drop the grievance and together we go, she and I. Any advice around this appreciated. Thank you. kg
This was soo beautiful, and I also listen to your reflections on WB lessons, they are soooo helpful 🙏🙏🙏♥️ I am so blessed to have found you online, helping me BigTime towards healing and awakening 🙏♥️💫💫💫
Sean this taught me a huge lesson, l have walked away from good friends also as l was afraid of confrontation and it is so darn crazy, thank you for this. ❤️
