Every time you write about what it is all about that we are doing, it is a great reminder and brings clarity that i cannot express myself, and it helps so much with building up the real Hope in my awareness when we are going through seeming difficulties with the Course. You certainly are gifted and thank you for using it for Healing.
I'm a new student....but what I hear in this article is.....don't let anything get in the way of your journey.....the curriculum of ACIM if we strive to heal and see the truth of what is going on. The world has us hypnotized and preoccupied...we don't even have time to go within and ask ourselves serious questions. We are lost. Waking up is a challenge because we ourselves....can't or don't want to go deep and give up our ego and comfort zone. I hear that if I practice my lessons and ask the Holy Spirit to open my heart....In an instant a radial thing could happen. I could wake up and see the truth. I must shake myself when I get too cozy...or pulled back into distractions....I must practice with sincerity and love and ask the Holy Spirit to show me what is important and real....This article was a wake up.....it's so easy to get in a lazy routine...I have to get creative with my ACIM studies...this article was very helpful. Thank You Sean....you are a real healing presence in my life....on Zoom and in writing. Much Love, Debbie M

Much of my attention over recent years, and far more intensely over the last 12 Months, has been placed on nurturing and growing my spiritual connection and allowing it to express itself through me. The barriers and stumbling blocks, internal and external, that seem to block my path are stubborn and insistent. Many of them are known well by me but so many more are beyond my grasp of conscious understanding. I've endeavoured to plough on through. To ignore, in many ways, these barriers on the premise that by allowing my spirit to unfold, by bringing the light to the dark, then these barriers will yield, eventually.
More recently, I have come to the realisation that I need to address these parts of me that I form the underlying resistance in my life. The course would address all of this resistance, these attacks against myself as having the same underlying cause; separation from God. I'm not ready to accept that. But I am ready to acknowledge that I have some shit to address. Part of me is even quite excited by this growing inner feeling to looking a little deeper into this. A feeling that is new to me. My resistance to resistance is yielding. But through that is a realisation that actually, a huge part of might just be playing a game here. But beyond all that is that whatever means I use to address this stuff, then as it comes out, I can at least bring this darkness to the light and the journey will continue.
This was such a lovely message to read on Christmas Day Sean, "The world was made in order that we might forget who and what we are (e.g., T-5.III.11:1, T-12.III.7:5). It has no other purpose. It is filled with gadgets, dietary and exercise fads, wars and starving children, poverty and riches, endless gossip about celebrities and gurus. Bodies break or get sick and then die".
It is a good time to be reminded that non of this is real and that "Heaven is here. Heaven is now.
There is no other place. There is no other time.
M-24.6:4-8"
It is the perfect Christmas gift to read "It does not matter if you think you are in earth or Heaven. What your Father wills of you can never change. The truth in you remains as radiant as a star, as pure as light, as innocent as love itself (T-31.VI.7:2-4).
And... it is a perfect way to enter the New Year ahead.
Thank you Sean, your articles are always exactly what I need to hear. I loved how you laid out the external and internal perceived resistances....Brilliant, clear, and so very helpful. 🙏
Sean this post is telling my story and everyone else's it's the whole course. The way you describe our resistance comes from your own experiences with the course which mirrors mine. When I discovered i was reading spiritual books and listening to all the teachings I could find on the course ,i was using them as a form of resistance,but still continued on. This post is the essence of the course nothing less. Thanks again Sean
Thank you thank you thank you Sean!!!

Started the Course in September 2021. Have saved your posts since March 2022. I believe this is the best one yet. Thank you.
This one is right on time for me this morning. Thank you.

The ultimate goal is to remember ourselves as God created us......
Healing is described as a journey and curriculum, but in truth, it happens in an instant when individuals remember their true selves.
Thanksgiving week…as I prepare the anticipated meal, I am mindful of the undoing as well as the doing. 🦃
Blessings to you and yours 🍂🍁
Thank you, Sean.
Excellent article Sean we are always infinite eternal existence in every moment and to meditate on the heart we can become Self (God) realized🙏
