Greetings My Course Friends!
This is our 14th week into building the contents of our Miracle Toolboxes with tools to help us feel safer in our journey back to God. One of the biggest problems that we all constantly struggle with is feelings of guilt. The ego literally has engineered into our DNA structure a guilt gene that relentlessly attacks in many different forms. People feel guilty when good things happen to them, they yell at their children, doctors fail to cure a patient, mothers become pregnant and when they fail to become pregnant, when they mismanage finances, gain too much weight, engage in addictive behaviors, have sex, and the list goes on an on. Guilt is a very powerful ally to the ego in that it keeps us constantly trapped in the darkness of fear.
Fortunately, when the concept of guilt was first created at the beginning of time, a solution to heal the guilt was placed within us by our Creator. That solution was our friend the Holy Spirit. Within the Text section titled, Guiltlessness and Invulnerability (T-13.I), Jesus tells us that the only goal the Holy Spirit has for us is to remove all guilt from our minds so that we may remember our Father in peace (T-13.I.1). What a reassuring thought to reflect on. In this section we are reminded that despite all the fear and darkness we may experience from feelings of guilt, none of them are true. Hidden behind the dark cloud of guilt still remains our holy Selves shining away in a light of pure guiltlessness. Jesus indicates that it is only a matter of time before we discover this truth about ourselves. “For the Son of God is guiltless now, and the brightness of his purity shines untouched forever in God’s Mind (T-13.I.5).”
Accompanying this week’s video recording and Miracle Toolbox reading is the posting of the next guided meditation for our toolboxes as well. Within this Removing Guilt Meditation, the Holy Spirit takes us on a journey to a temple in the far east and helps us to permanently remove guilt from our core belief system. It is an amazingly powerful meditation that fills your heart with joy and blesses your eyes with a happier perspective of the world. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I wish you many blessings and a happy journey!
Love,
Rev. Paul

But we do it because we believe in encouraging others to practically apply the Course principles in their lives – because it might just make the one difference in your life. If everyone who reads, listens or watches and likes what we offer helps to pay for it we can continue to afford our expenses and keep our resources FREE to all ACIM Students.
