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 possibility to see shining examples of the teachings of A Course in Miracles, and for the very first time in a lengthy while, I don't feel alone.

Element of me wanted to keep longer, but beneath that desire was the idea 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 had had any insights. What I'm about to generally share was not yet clear at that time; only on the drive away made it happen coalesce.

That morning, several lines from the 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 whatever I had stated that I felt regret for.

Eventually, the phrase, “don't are interested troubling your mind” stood out. This reminded me that the absolute most prominent fear I had in arriving at the Monastery was that I'd somehow interfere having its residents'peace of mind, simply by my presence alone. acim teacher This belief that I really could negatively affect other people's state of mind has been with me for quite some time, and has colored lots of my past experiences and relationships.

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

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