The future is so bright that I better wear shades!
This is my first blog article working for the Teachers of God Foundation and I’m so excited. I have shared my story a few times via our website and on a recent radio interview with Lisa, but I can’t wait to share more details about how the teachings of A Course in Miracles have changed the whole way I think.
I started to make the title of this article “Anything Is Possible” and I was talking on the phone with my friend Calico and she said forget “Anything Is Possible” – how about “Everything Is Possible” – and that just felt perfect! Thanks Calico!
I don’t want to go back too much into “My Story” because I don’t want to put too much energy towards it, but I feel it is helpful to give a quick overview so that you can see where I have been.
Just a short time ago, my life felt in a shambles. I did not think that everything was possible. I actually thought that life was so hard, that there really was not much point of going on. I know that sounds really heavy, but I seriously was contemplating ending my life. Divorce, lost my house, single mother, three kids and two of them have special needs and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah! That sums it up all right!
But now I feel that the future is so bright that I better wear shades!
The most important thing I did was to change my mind, ABOUT EVERYTHING, and the first step in doing that is making a decision. Once that decision is made, the whole universe conspires to make it happen.
People talk so much about putting your faith in God, trusting and that is so true. But what also needs to happen is for us to walk into that faith, to take the action steps as if the healing has already happened, the healing of our mind.
The most powerful tool that I have learned from the course and other amazing teachings is to step into the truth, to actually get into the feeling that whatever it is has already happened.
THE VIBRATORY POWER OF WORDS!
Boy has that statement been running through my veins. A short time ago I was told that the chances of my older son functioning in the “real world” were very slim, that he would most likely never graduate from high school because of his anxiety and OCD, and that maybe we should put him in some kind of an institution for awhile, and for God’s sake, he can never drive a car.
Not True, Not True, Not True! I made a decision, I made up my mind that he is going to graduate from high school, and one day, right at dusk, I trekked all the way out to the football field at his high school and I walked to the top of the bleachers and I sat there, and envisioned my son out on that field where they hold the graduation ceremony, I pictured him with his friends, laughing, throwing his cap up in the air. It didn’t matter that he didn’t have even one friend at the time, because I knew that if I treat this boy like he is the perfect, healed, whole, loving child of God that he is, that the truth would show up and it did!
He is a senior in high school this year, and he sent me a text last week and it said: “Mom, I am going to the winter formal with a group of friends, can you help me buy the ticket and I need something new to wear”. YESSSSSSSSSSSSS! I was totally calm and wrote him back, “OK”, and then I did the freak out happy mama dance.
Then a few days later, he came downstairs and said “Mom, I need to buy my cap and gown for graduation before the deadline”. In that exact moment, my mind jetted back to that night when I climbed the bleachers at his school.
This practice truly does work, and the golden key is not so much having to get into details of what you want to have happen, but to MAKE A DECISION, and then get into the feeling of what it is like now that it has ALREADY HAPPENED! To think about your state of mind in that moment of realizing your heart’s desire.
I recently made another decision about my son who has Down syndrome. He has needed dental surgery in the past – he could not just go to the dentist for a filling or a cleaning, he had to go in the hospital. I kept putting off making another appointment and the fear was creeping in and right on the way to the dentist, in the car, in the pouring rain last week, I MADE A DECISION!
I said, he is fine, he can go to dentist like anyone else, he can sit in the chair, have an exam, get x-rays, get a filling if needed and have his teeth cleaned and guess what, HE DID. His teeth are absolutely perfect, he let them take x-rays and he has not one cavity. A Crest check-up! YAY!
You see, all it takes is a second to change your mind. You can have so much fun with this. You can bring your friends in on it too. I have some friends that are prayer partners, and I have adopted a practice with them where we write emails to each other or leave voice mails “AS IF” something has already happened. It is so fun and it is so helpful, because you are consciously joining with another person in the truth of who your both are and that really does change the vibration.
My favorite words now! “You’ve Got This”!!! I say it to everybody now. I recently had a friend call me in absolute terror, saying “they saw something on my test and I’m afraid I might have cancer and they want me back in two weeks for a big test”… I sat with her on the phone and told her who she really is, the light of the world, I told her not to even mention that word again, don’t think about it, don’t research it, don’t call your friends on the phone and talk about it, act “AS IF” you are completely healthy and fine.
Then I found out her big medical test was on my birthday and I told her, that the only present I want from her is for her to call me on my birthday to confirm that everything is perfectly fine with her. Guess what, I got the birthday present I wanted! She is fine! She said that every time she went into a place of fear and wanted to start doing research about an illness, or treatment or anything like that, she just pictured herself, in the doctors office sending me a text that she is perfectly fine, and that is what she did!
In closing, I want to share one of my favorite lessons from A Course in Miracles :
Lesson 41: “God Goes With Me Wherever I Go.”
Deep within you is everything that is perfect, ready to radiate through you and out into the world. It will cure all sorrow and pain and fear and loss because it will heal the mind that thought these things were real, and suffered out of its allegiance to them.
If you only remember one thing from my blog post, let it be this:
“YOU’VE GOT THIS, AND EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE”
I love you…
