Gratitude at the David Hoffmeister ACIM Monastery

I want to thank Jason, and everyone at the Monastery again for welcoming me with such openness. I'm still amazed that I was granted this opportunity to see shining types of the teachings of A Course in Miracles, and for the first time in a lengthy while, I do not feel alone.

Element of me wanted to keep longer, but beneath that desire was thinking that I will be doing so for the incorrect reason; as a means in order to avoid my problems. The stronger feeling was, and is, that my travels will continue.

Before I left, Jason asked if I'd had any insights. What I'm about to talk about wasn't yet clear at that time; only on the drive away achieved it coalesce.

That morning, several lines from a Vance Joy song kept running through my head, “I never needs to have told you, never needs to have allow you to see inside. Don't are interested troubling your mind, won't you allow it to be?” This confused me as I really could not think of anything that I'd said that I felt regret for.

Eventually, the phrase, “don't are interested troubling your mind” stood out. This reminded me that the most prominent fear I'd in coming to the Monastery was that I would somehow interfere using its residents'reassurance, by just my presence alone. This belief that I really could negatively affect other people's state of mind has been with me for many years, and has colored many of my past experiences and relationships.a course in miracles

This fear left my awareness soon after I arrived. On the drive away it rose again, but I remembered David saying in one of is own videos that minds cannot attack. I cried and laughed, and now feel like the belief is being (has been?) released.

You will find other issues that happened that felt important, but I can't think of them right now.
