ACIM Q&A Day: How do we learn to listen to the Holy Spirit’s voice? The Course is very clear that “the ego always speaks first” (T-6.IV.1). For me, the ego is loud, and it usually has a sense of urgency to it (“you better take care of this...
When your body feels OH so real…
As students of “A Course in Miracles” we “get” the whole idea that the body isn’t real and that this is all an illusion. But if you’re like me, I wake up everyday thinking that I am Corinne and that I am limited to an existence in a body. “Getting” the idea of this...
What does it REALLY mean to “Choose Love?”
“Choosing love” is a popular thought lately. We want to “choose to see with love” instead of fear, instead of pain, and instead of conflict. Sounds lovely! But what does this actually mean? Several years ago, I was walking a 5-mile trail during...
ACIM Q&A Day: When the ego screams “DEFEND YOURSELF!”, what to do?
As I wrote about in my previous post, I have abundant opportunities to put ACIM into practice in my life. A situation recently arose again where I had a choice: Do I want to be right or happy? Based on my previous experience, why stop forgiving when I’m on a roll? 🙂...
ACIM Q&A Day: What to do when you REALLY want to “correct” another person?
I have recently been learning a great deal about what it really means to live “A Course in Miracles.” I’ve been specifically learning the difference between repeating the Course to myself as a reassurance, versus actually putting the principles into action...ACIM Q&A Day: How to handle conflict when the ego wants to come out and “play?”
Question: Other people’s egos appear to be knocking on my ego’s door, wanting it to come out and play – GRRR! I have been speaking my truth with two people in my life and their egos have just been ripping me apart. One person is completely ignoring...
ACIM Q&A Day: Job ick, bugs, and unhappiness… oh my! PART 2
Go to page 1 | 2 In this second post, I’m helping my friend Annie deal with her “job ick,” consisting of an unhappy work environment in a restaurant, with roaches in the kitchen. I challenge her to really look at how this situation is coming from her...
ACIM Q&A Day: Job ick, bugs, and unhappiness… oh my! PART 1
I am fortunate to have a loving, beautiful friend who also is really into “A Course in Miracles.” As long as I’ve known Annie, she has struggled with every job she gets – she feels that there is usually something wrong with it, which often leads her to...
ACIM Q&A Day: How is the Course’s concept of forgiveness not blaming the victim?
Question: “I don’t understand how forgiveness in the Course is different than blaming the victim. I know that abusive people can, and have, misused the Course and other spiritual teachings to act from ego and hurt others. However, I still see in the...
ACIM Q&A Day: The language of ACIM is freaking me out!
Q: I’m really into the concepts of “A Course in Miracles”, but the language the book uses really bugs me. I don’t really dig the term GOD (I think of a man with a gray beard), let alone Holy Spirit… and I don’t like how it is...
I gave it to the Holy Spirit… Now what??
The course emphasizes that we only need a tiny bit of willingness for that miracle – that shift in perception – to occur. And this is true! We’re asked to do so little. So we hand our situation over to the Holy Spirit, again and again. But we still feel stuck with...
