Entry 360 - Realization While Reading ACIM

9/30/20

I realized something while listening to A Course in Miracles...

When you heal someone, you are essentially taking their burden and loving it to death.  
You are saying that your love is stronger than the pain clinging to them, and so you take on their pain because you know that loving that pain will embrace it into nonexistence.  
Instead of the pain hurting the host, you let the pain feel the love of God and return it back to pure energy.

Your very act of loving it is enough to release it back into the world as pure energy.  
It’s like taking an abused child who hits and screams at you and hugging the wounded child until the little one finally hugs back. Then the screaming and hitting dissolve into love, and all that remains is love—a tender hug, a shoulder to cry on, and the soft touch of a caring and supportive person in their life.

Love is the answer to dissolving negativity into pure energy. Metaphorically speaking, through love, we transform someone’s darkest demons into some of the holiest angels. We go into the darkest tunnels and bring our biggest torches. We illuminate and love until the area is not as it was before.

The soul is cleaned from all the muck and dirt and replaced with a spacious and clean living area. Then love sleeps in the soul, comfortable in its new home prepared by the healer.  
What a blessing to participate in that healing process.

Entry 1,630 - January 15th 2023 There’s a difference between spiritualizing life by moralizing and immoralizing daily matters and living life in such a way that uproots preconceived notions of what is considered bad and good by the religious. One intends to force morality into life inorganically according to the groupthink of the religious group, and the other intends to live life more freely and harm-free according to universal principles of life. The latter does not mean you live life without morality but rather that you live beyond the cut-and-dry staples of what each religious group considers moral and immoral. The latter means you go to the essence of what true morality points to—whether someone’s actions cause harm or healing. It does not seek to go beyond that universal essence of morality. It does not puff up the essence with unnecessary doctrines and concepts that clutter and confuse the mind. It does not go beyond the essence to instill unnecessary fear, guilt, and shame. It ...

Entry 45 - Lesson on Compliments

7/28/19 The old self is attracted to negative thoughts and the new self, the real you, is attracted to positive thoughts. The old self embodies all the negative so it wants what it is, and the new self embodies all things positive, so it seeks to be reinforced with what it already is. That's why I believe it is so important to speak truth into people, to reinforce who they truly are because it awakens the real self and keeps them consciously focused on who they really are. There was an experiment done where they insulted a plant and then for another plant, they only spoke nice words, and the results were shocking. The words carried weight on the actual growth or decay of those plants. So if plants don't speak English, then what could possibly be the reason behind one plant living its best life due to the positive words spoken to it and the other plant withering and dying due to negative words being spoken to it in the same controlled situation? Everything, and I mean everyth...

Entry #21 - Lesson on Problems

-
I was contemplating how small I am compared to the universe, and then I considered how much smaller my problems are compared to the universe, to the mountains, and even to me. I considered what even is a problem? And I realized that problems are problems because they affect us in some way that we wish we weren't affected by. However, we have the potential to determine if something is actually a problem or if it can be seen in a new light.  We can focus on how something is negatively affecting us, or we can focus from another point of view and see the positive lessons we can learn it. Truly, a positive perception on this could definitely help retrain ourselves to think much more positively and contribute to a better overall way of thinking when they come our way. So I'm going to propose looking at "problems" in a new light. So I said a problem normally is considered a problem because it affects us in some way, shape or form; but if we choose to change our perception ...
