Ah Sean. Once again your wisdom is right on time and right on target. Yesterday, for some moments in time, I forgot my daughter's attack was a call for love. In the midst of my trying to be reasonable, I realized - Stop. Breathe. Accept the things I cannot change. I let go to let Him teach me to heal. In Its time. Not mine. My ego's voice is weaker. I still need the reminder of your words this morning. 🙏

Thank you for this essay that is timely all the time! I think the Course's teaching on attack is so radical and wonderful. For anyone who wants to persue this topic the easy way, just follow this link to a free online Course in Miracles Concordence: https://acim.org/acim/text/introduction/en/s/51

When you get there, put the word "attack" into its search mechanism (the little "spy glass in the upper left corner of the page). Many, many references to attack will pop up and each one is a link to a fuller discussion.

Thank you for the inspiration, Sean.

Thank you Sean, your words are so precisely going into those dark corners and cavities of my mind helping to expose and they’re also taking the remedy with them to heal those dark patterns. I wanted to share that I often completely forget that seeing the call for love also applies to everything we perceive in our own false identity as well. Everything I perceive in the egoic mind and feel guilty about is also call for love. This gives me a sense of relief and compassion towards myself. So instead of trying to fight or discipline the dark patterns in the mind or letting ego beat me with whispering the guilt, I need recognise they are all call for love and ask for Help to be healed. Thank you again for your service to help us remember 🙏🙏

You're welcome, Aysin. Thahk you for being here and for sharing that insight, that the interior guilt and so forth are also cries for love, and thus remind us to be self-loving and caring. That, too, is a fundamental aspect of this practice. Thank you 🙏🙏

Aysin, thank you for this. I always (?) forget it!

I want the gift that ends all conflict! I want awareness! And above all, I want peace!

This is such a beautiful reminder that everything—everything that happens in a day, an hour, a moment—can be seen through the lens of love if we choose it.

How I might see this lesson as a practice is to recognize the hit to my ego (so easy to feel as negative emotion in my body, so challenging to not be hijacked by it) and see my cry for love which leads me directly to my function: salvation and forgiveness. I can remember to forgive myself for believing that I can be attacked. In other words, I can get out of the way and make room for God’s Will which is my own. I’m so grateful that the Holy Spirit guides us specifically, gently, and lovingly to truth where miracles happen daily—the world is shimmering with miracles!—and I can choose to love from the truth and remembrance of love that we ALL share.

Thank you, Sean for always pointing to truth, for challenging us toward application and for helping me understand the real meaning of Love.

I am so very grateful.

Thank you, Kimberley. "Hijacked" is a great word - it feels that way sometimes, all rushed and against our will, being swept up and carried away from grace, forced into an adversarial posture. Self-defense so often masquerades as self-care in my life! I don't even notice it until the effects start hitting me over the head.

Thanks for being here, Kimberley, and for reading and sharing. I am grateful for you as well. This work is collaborative (as you know) and I am grateful for our companionship 🙏🙏

Love,

Sean

Thanks for this Sean, you strike a cord that plays into our moment by moment life experiences, serving as a helpful reminder to “let go, let God”.

We humans are per perfect, just not complete.

Thank you Sean for your gifts of love via articles that give me strength and redirect my attention over and over again to the fact that only Love is Real. I experienced the tyranny of the ego this week in wanting to be right over the tiniest of thing of no importance, yet for the ego it was full on war. Thank God I did not act out the ego's attack, but definitely felt the inner disturbance.

Yes! Jesus offers us peace...always. Living without conflict, without argument within or without, without worry...ah-h peace!

By the way, the ladder symbolizes the kundalini. Remember Jacob's ladder resting upon the earth with the angels ascending and descending between heaven and earth. That phenomenon resides within each of us.
