Sean for me it's tricky. I have found that if I'm quiet and aware that I sometimes get a nudging to do or say something that I know did not originate in my brain and is quite unlike anything from my worldly persona. I have never regretted following these nudges, although at times I've been quite scared, but they have always brought some type of unexpected healing. Maybe the name that Jesus uses to call us is simply Love.
I wish that it worked that way! But I think this is one of those areas - like a lot of religious stuff, a lot of healing stuff - where we have to have the experience ourselves, we have to come to it on our own.
And what that means for us as ACIM students, I don't know. It is a DEEPLY personal path when it comes to application, and so what works for one student might not work for another - might even be unhelpful. The spiritual desparation and despondency I describe is A way, not THE way. I know a LOT of students - and a lot of healed and healing people generally - whose paths look very different.
So I hope I am not being unduly difficult when I say that I can't give you that answer, though hopefully - in my stumbling way, thinking out loud here and promising not to leave you until you DO have the answer - there is something helpful going on.
I guess the best question to look at it is: if I don't know the answer to that question, then why? And if I want it, then what can I do?
Jesus calls, we don't hear: what is the problem? What can we do about it?
I found this very helpful. Thank you for the insight, and for your honesty and vulnerability.
You're welcome, Mark. I appreciate that very much.
