Gratitude at the David Hoffmeister ACIM Monastery

[CarpetCleanerCoventry]

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 do not feel alone.



Element of me wanted to stay longer, but beneath that desire was thinking that I would be doing this for the wrong reason; as a means to prevent my problems. The stronger feeling was, and is, that my travels will continue.a course in miracles

 

Before I left, Jason asked if I had had any insights. What I'm about to generally share wasn't yet clear in those days; only on the drive away achieved it coalesce.



That morning, several lines from the Vance Joy song kept running through my head, “I never must have told you, never must have let you see inside. Don't are interested troubling your brain, won't you allow it be?” This confused me as I really could not consider anything that I had stated that I felt regret for.



Eventually, the phrase, “don't are interested troubling your mind” stood out. This reminded me that probably the most prominent fear I had in visiting the Monastery was that I would somehow interfere using its residents'satisfaction, simply by my presence alone. This belief that I really could negatively affect other people's state of mind has been with me for several years, and has colored many 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 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 items that happened that felt important, but I can't consider them right now.
