Thank you very much Sean for this beautiful and soothing reminder that ‘I need do nothing’. Such relief! 😊 I also love what Jesus says in the Course ‘you think your understanding is an important contribution to Truth and makes it what It is.’😊 I often get caught up in these two illusions, my doings and my understandings are important and I must strive to get them right! Over and over and over again I have been shown that this is not so, but still keep forgetting. Trust and relax and surrender are my lessons to learn.
YOu're welcome, Aysin - thank you for being here. And thank you for adding "understandings" to "doings." Yes! They are very much related, especially in the sense that when ego is in charge of them - when we are letting ego decide what constitutes understanding and application - then we are going to feel the pain of separation and that is what we are going to extend. "Trust, relax and surrender" are great lessons - thank you for sharing that here. I'm very grateful.
Sean, your thoughts today remind me of the first concept from ACIM that has sustained me over the years: "I rest in God today, and let Him work in me and through me, while I rest in Him in quiet and in perfect certainty." | W-120.1:2. I needed that reminder today as my ego was screaming I should fear something that is on the horizon. How grateful I am for your presence.
Thank you, Anne. And I am grateful for your presence 🙏🙏
I too find a lot of peace and gentleness in surrendering to God and letting the day unfold according to a will other than my own . . . very grateful to ACIM for being so practical and helpful in that sense.
Anne, just this morning I laid my anxiety down at the thought “I rest in God today”. It is one of my go-to Lessons when I am feeling I must come to the solution alone. Thank you for the reminder that it continues… “and let Him work in me and through me, while I rest in Him in quiet and in perfect certainty.”. In quiet and perfect certainty….
Thank you Sean. Death is part of my classroom lately. I'm grateful for being able to see things differently, for your teachings, and the love in which I can abide and share with others.
I love that, Kimberley - truth is truthing and only in stillness do we sense it. And from the sensation we can enter into a relationship with it - we can learn how to return to the awareness of it - and we can let it be active and give attention to its action without all the high stakes that come with making life personal.
“without the hight stakes that comes with making life personal”. So good. It makes life a different game. Suddenly peace and happiness are within reach. Thanks you Kimberley and Sean.
As I was walking my Dog this morning, a man walking past somehow reminded my of my Father in Law, who died 20 Years go. It got me thinking of how long I'd known him for before his death and the answer shocked me that it had only been 8 or 9 Years. Such a small part of his (and my) life.
But, as you write, that truth of him, and the truth of all the other people who have disappeared from this apparent existence, is always here and always will be. That seems both a sad and yet joyful realisation.
Thank you once again for your thoughtful presence.
You're welcome, Martin. And thank you for sharing. There is something very beautiful and calming in the realization that death is not the end of Love - a great testimony to what Love is in truth and the limits of death's power. It is also testimony to what we are in truth! Thanks for being here and sharing the remembering. I'm very grateful 🙏🙏
Thank you Sean - your messages are always messages of love, of hope, of a better word and a place of peace that it there for all of us - we need do nothing - no thing - simply enjoy the moment - it will all come together when we are ready to receive. Blessings, always.
So grateful for your Monday sharing, Sean. I’m reading this in Iowa, this morning, as the rain comes down after a snowy, slushy early spring weekend and the direct relationship to your writing is palpable. Thank you for the story of your beloved dog, Jake, and the writings of Tara Singh. I have come to cherish the morning moments set aside for “doing nothing” before the day with the world begins. Looking forward to reading the comments from the our community next…. Such a blessed morning. 🙏
Thank you for the kind words, Denise. I'm glad you're here and grateful for the companionship. The morning space of nothing is truly a gift . . . my practice is realizing I can stay in it even as the day and life begin . . . but I am a slow learner. Thank you again for being here 🙏🙏
Thank you once again. I was thinking while reading your email- which I expect every Monday, that even though I live in Athens, on the other side of the world, I feel so close to you!
Thank you for reading and sharing, Joanna - I'm very grateful for the connections we make here - and feel close to you as well. Our shared desire to undo separation reflects the love that IS the undoing of separation. Thank you for bringing that forth with me 🙏🙏

Thanks for being here, Susan. I really appreciate it. Death is a big lesson for sure. Thanks for sharing 🙏🙏

I love this so much.
I hear it in my mind as Truth is truthing no matter what I do, and only when I get still do I sense it.
Thank you for reminding us with such beauty and tenderness.

I am new here and so glad to have found you. I look forward to reading more and getting these insights from you and ACIM.
Thank you, Heidi - I'm glad you're here. ACIM is a fascinating, challenging and - for me - deeply helpful path. I hope it resonates for you as well.
~ Sean
It does indeed!
Beautiful. Thank you.
🙏🙏
