Wonderfully worded…deeply appreciated! You do the Course so much justice!
Sometimes I get so lost in the words… I wish I could have an NDE- because those who do, get to experience the true meaning of billions of words of truth, deeply and unforgetttably, and the experience never leaves their mind for the rest of their lives.
Recently, in Walmart, I had a fleeting, yet memorable experience of a “brother” recognizing me, and it felt sooooo goooood! It was so simple, yet affected me so deeply. In the retelling, it seems so silly!
A lady a few years older then me, looked at me, smiling and appreciative- and her look was so loving, it struck my heart. She commented, “I love your hair!”
Crazy, huh? That someone complimenting my hair could make me feel so loved?
It was her gaze, and her intention, that touched me so. She consciously made an effort to share with me, her appreciation. And that simple act, brightened my life! Not just my day!
So, never underestimate what a simple act of loving kindness can do for somebody.
Like taking the time to ponder, compile, and share your thoughts on how to love one another. Thank you, Sean!
Thank you Laura - and thanks for sharing that story. For me, it's a very ACIM story - that is how we heal the world! Small gestures, smiles and kind words, ever gently aligning ourselves with the healing power of Love, which radiates through the cosmos. I love hearing that and I love remembering that this doesn't have to be complicated . . .
Thanks again for being here and sharing, Laura. I'm glad we share this path 🙏🙏
It is between "you and I" where the love is, where it happens for both/all of us. I really like this because is helps me create those situations/experiences. I have work to do on it, but also realize I have already experienced it.... even when I haven't been talking about spirituality.
"A turtle or two down" comes out of Hindu mythology - the world and the heavens are supported on the back of seven elephants, one standing ont he other. The elephants themselves are standing on a turtle (sometimes called the cosmic turtle). Sometimes someone asks, on what does the turtle stand? And the answer is, it's turtles all the way down :)
So I'm just being a little goofy - "a few turtles down" is just me saying, a little bit deeper in the psyche or in reality or whatever.
"Our mind and heart has been pried open just enough to glimpse the light of Heaven and feel the heat of Love."
Thank you, Sean, for sharing these loving words and wonderful essays. Sending you Love and Gratitude for being so very instrumental in prying open my 73 year old mind and heart.
Sean, my brother. When I don't see you posting here, I'm hoping that you are experiencing goodness, joy and love. And if you don't perceive those conditions right now, I won't imprison you with lack thoughts. Instead, I am sending blessings of goodness, joy and love. Thank you as always for your very considered thoughts. They always make me think and adjust. 💞🙏

Thank you very much for this long 3 part letter.
What does this mean, "A turtle or two down"?
