Here's The Message

A Course In Miracles is calling - again. It's never far from my mind and always in my heart. Yet it's an intense practice at times and I have taken long breaks from the workbook exercises. I always try to keep the message foremost in my thoughts though. The message of forgiveness has been a guidepost through the troubling times of my life for well over a decade - since 1997 I believe. It took me until 2008 until I was fully able to commit to the year long study of the workbook and text. For years I would start and work through it and then put is aside. The message was too true and too real and the changes it demanded (as my inner vision cleared and heart opened further) too much for my rebelling ego. Even after a year of deliberate and intense study and practice my ego was functioning as the leading guide though my life. And what made this all the more difficult was that I now had a clear inner knowing urging me instead to focus on the path of my heart and forgiveness. It's often a battle - and that's because we choose to fight. Here's the message - forgive. There's nothing to fight. Don't battle the ego. Love ourselves. Forgive ourselves. Learn and move on from our mistakes. That's what my heart tells me now after these many years of study and struggle. The message was there all along. And so it continues - opening my heart, forgiving and surrendering ego each step of the way.

Peace,
Eric
