Academy of Higher Learning

Academy of higher learning: 

it's contradictory, extremely so, and yet lesson 153 of A Course in Miracles urges us to lay our defensiveness aside, surrendering to an ever present peace - and trust that we're protected. This certainly seems a difficult task, maybe even impossible. 

but it's what I intend to do.

of at least practice.

and largely I've been successful, mostly for the small things, such as not taking offense over every seeming slight that's counter to my ego's demand of always being right. I've learned to let go, smiling is a sincere practice now, and I rest in the comfort of this surrender. Of course sometimes it feels like I'm attending a graduate school of defenselessness, an academy of higher learning designed specifically to draw my attention to every single hidden fear and flaw, bringing me to the depth of my own self-involvement, and then asking me to forgive my way through these difficult situations.

I do my best here.

seeing everything, each stress filled moment, as a practice.

even my own self-judgement. 

and happily...

forgive my way through them.
