e-miracle Nr. 8
Dear friend, As I said in my last e-miracle, in order to find lasting inner peace, our darkness has to come to the light and the 'decision maker' within us has to choose against it. In this e-miracle we will see why it is important to train the mind in order to do this. Any feedback and comments about these e-miracles are most welcome. My purpose is to serve in the most effective way I can. Blessings, |

If we are not able to choose against our darkness, we will either blame others for bringing it up, or we will push it back down again, perhaps in a more complicated way. Choosing against are darkness is no easy task. We actually live by the thinking of the world, which is based in blame, judgement and criticism. In order to choose against this way of thinking takes training. Actually a lot of training. We have to practice, over and over again, our willingness to see things differently, and to see peace instead. We could call this a shift from wrong mindedness to right mindedness. 'A Course in Miracles' says that right mindedness leads to a state of inner peace, or one mindedness, automatically. Training the mind opens the door to that inner peace that was available all along. As with any form of training, our aim is for the result to become a spontaneous reality. In other words, our aim here is that eventually whenever anyone does something that would have upset us in the past, now we would respond with love automatically without even having to think about it. One very powerful system for training the mind this way is by working with the lessons from 'A Course in Miracles'. There are many ways to train the mind towards inner peace, but the author of ACIM claims that this way is one of the fastest. I will be revealing the author's name in due course, but I will leave it up to you for now to try and think who it might be....
