One of the biggest secrets we try to help keep is just a sense of autonomy and pride. The idea or feeling that you will be important in some special way, that you will be loved by way of a special person, that somebody is giving you special attention, they are some of the ego's very subtle secrets. We are trying to hide our Divine Self and are playing each one of these different games, which be seemingly very upsetting. It is pretty depressing and it really doesn't go anywhere, so we try to have scraps of special love, attention and recognition to prop ourselves up.

We work so hard at becoming “better people”, at gaining greater intelligence and more skills. We desire to be liked more and be more popular. The whole self-help industry is centered on improving the self to help you become a better you what is a course in miracles. That's another trick we secretly play on ourselves, thinking we have to help keep spinning our wheels trying to become better. This self-improvement game is another secret we are able to to learn to let it go of. It is very relaxing when you start to appreciate that you may not need certainly to become much better than you already are. You're created perfect. It is not through self-improvement that you find peace but through self-acceptance.

As I caused A Course in Miracles, I really could note that there was a concern with divine love within my mind. I realized this was the ego's concern with losing itself. The ego is afraid to be exposed and being viewed as a puff of nothingness. That's driving a car of intimacy. We talk about this fear in relationships, which may also be projected as concern with sexual intimacy, but it's really a concern with dropping our persona, our mask of individuality. It is driving a car of getting swept away by way of a glorious love, a love so powerful that none people may also imagine something as glorious and powerful!

For me, those would be the big secrets, because it doesn't start out with this specific great awareness. It always starts with feeling like you have done something amiss, whether you've masturbated, stolen something, mistreated somebody, or there's something in your mind that you have judged as so hideous that you never even want to face it, you only want to forget about this and push it out of awareness.

Underneath all those memories and thoughts, may be the belief that we are separated. This is actually the “secret” we hide. It really is an impossible belief, but we believe that it is true; We've judged it as horrific and have pushed it out of awareness. All unconscious guilt originates from this belief in separation. And as you really give yourself to the miracle, you feel all those hidden beliefs and secrets are increasingly being washed away and you finally face this hidden belief in separation!

A Course In Miracles is a guide which brings you tools to reverse all fearful thoughts and beliefs. Using these tools makes it possible to find the complete sense of freedom and peace you've been yearning for.
