I do 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 possibility to see shining examples of the teachings of A Course in Miracles, and for the first time in a long while, I do not feel alone.

Part of me wanted to keep longer, but beneath that desire was the thought that I would be this for the incorrect reason; as a way 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 was not yet clear at that time; only on the drive away made it happen coalesce.

That morning, several lines from a Vance Joy song kept running through my head, “I never should have told you, never should have enable you to see inside. Don't want it troubling the mind, won't you let it be?” This confused me as I really could not consider anything that I'd said that I felt regret for.

Eventually, the phrase, “don't want it troubling your mind” stood out. This reminded me that the absolute most prominent fear I'd in visiting the Monastery was that I would somehow interfere having its residents'reassurance, simply by my presence alone. acim This belief that I really could negatively affect other people's state of mind has been with me for many years, and has colored a lot of my past experiences and relationships.

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 has been (has been?) released.

There are other items that happened that felt important, but I can't consider them right now.
