Guidance removes the blocks

Hi Jenny,
Thank you for patiently loving me, your love reflecting in your eyes and warm smile. I unlearned many concepts with you in Mallorca, for which I am grateful. I smile reflecting on how my wrong mind used tricks of misperception and time gaps in an attempt to prevent me from getting the message.

But I got it! Big blocks of pride and unworthiness were removed. They just collapsed like the buildings Cobb and Mal made in their dream. Hallelujah!

And in their place I experienced peace and love. Not doing, just passively affectionating. Total bliss.

 Thank you, thank you.

Thank you also for sharing your process with Matti and all of us:

It is always the Inner Guidance in the moment you need to follow, and before that is totally crisp, clear and pure the guidelines from the course are very, very helpful. I see it in my own mind now and then. It can play out like this:



I feel guided and strongly prompted to say something particular.

If I have uncertainty about whether it is something Helpful, I check it with my mind.

If I still feel the yes, then I check it with what I have learned from the teachings of Jesus and David. If it goes against that teaching I see it as something in my mind, a strong conviction or belief that is talking to me; and so not pure guidance.

Then follows an Inner process of forgiveness. There can be an urge to speak out the “guidance” but instead it has to be closely looked at and forgiven. It can come from a belief in helping “others,” or from certain past ideals and beliefs that are still held in the mind.

I have sometimes received clear guidance about future happenings, which I see more from a curious and joyful place. I look forward to be there experiencing it and to watch it play out. For example last summer I received guidance that I was going to watch a particular movie with a friend in Mallorca several months later.

When coming to Mallorca I didn’t have any thoughts like: Oh I have to fulfill the guidance and watch this movie with my friend. No, I waited and watched it play out. One day late in the Devotional it was very obvious that we were supposed to watch the movie. It was a great experience rather than something I personally had to follow through with… The experience of having an open and alert mind, ready and willing for prompts from the Spirit…



So to take off some of the pressure you might feel to carry out a message: The message is first and foremost for your own mind and if you feel strongly to share it in the moment and if it doesn’t go against the teaching of the Course, then please let it out. It is helpful to have a sensitivity and listening in the moment and to remember that your relationship is Always, clearly and without exception with the Holy Spirit and not with any body. There is really no one out there to help…

 Showers of Love!

Jenny

Peace, love and joy,
Andy

Melting

Dear Jenny,

I hope you have a wonderfull last slot!
At this moment I would love to say that I felt so welcome at the Mallorca-retreat.

It started with (voice-)mails of you to point out the direction towards Son Macia;
then with the number of Mark for more information about the exact location;
sms and stones pointing out the way to the villa, so lovely and cute : )

You were there with a big welcoming smile, when I approached Casa 4.
And you offered me the way to Casa 4 and/or to ‘my space’ in Casa 2
and left the choice again up to me.

There are so many things you have given me, of which I can remember/see at this very moment:
* healing touch, it feels as if loving energy enters into me and washes away all sharp edges of ego-thoughts/feelings.
A melting in, a soft gentle relief of tension, relaaaaaaaaaaaaaaxed : )
* a very gentle and clear way of asking things to be done or telling not to be done;
* a feeling of trust in me and others;
* a feeling of being seen in my true Me, even if I do not at that moment;
* a whole lot of space for whatever comes up, you are glowing all of the time;
THANK YOU!!

Love, Petra

Awaking in bliss

Hello beautiful friends, I am sitting here in front of my computer, where are the words to describe what appears to be happening since the incredible two weeks with David.

The peace is so pervasive it seems that I can reach out and touch it all around me and deep within me, and when I am asleep the dream states are confused, but when I awake there is this bliss, and its that, that is real, whereas before it would be the opposite.

Tears of joy are flowing every day, I keep listening to Jesus Culture, in particular the song “How he Loves us”. I have no idea what the next minute or the next days and weeks have in store, but nothing matters.

All my skills have been offered to the Holy Spirit to use if it is appropriate, and if I just sit and do nothing, I am so happy, just so happy.

Love you all Jackie Watson UK.

Now I Know

Only a week together with you wonderful people and miracles abide.

I want to thank Jason and JP for their willingness to connect with me. The holy encounter I experienced with the two of you – so short in time, but yet so eternal – opened the door to a heartfelt miracle. To live in the now, the only place there ever is.

NOW I know that I am not alone
NOW I know that I am loved
NOW I know that whatever is, is meant to be
NOW I know that I can choose again
NOW I know that I do not need to know
NOW I know that there is nothing to be afraid of
NOW I feel that I am
NOW I know that we are ONE
NOW I TRUST

A whole new world is smiling at me, welcoming me, embracing me, filling my heart with overflowing joy. The very day when I was leaving all happened at once.
Thank you Claire for helping me thru the night, thank you Andy for welcoming me in the morning. Thanks to all I am not mentioning by name. You are all part of this. We are all in this together, contribute, often without knowing or being aware of it. But it is not personal as Nette put it so gently. Thank you Spirit for whatever you put in my way. It is for my own good. It is a blessing. Thank you for mirroring all the many different aspects of my own being. Thank you for showing me the need to embrace everything, while you strengthen my ability to actually do so.
I am ready to receive, I am ready to give. I am ready to love. I let go of my own agenda and allow the light to enter. I am laughing, I am dancing, I am singing, I finally start shining my light. Amen

The journey home was twice as long as it was scheduled and presented me with many holy encounters. I spend the night at Zürich airport on a bench. A woman came with a drink and some food to me (why? Jesus told her!!), a young man invited me to Cameron, a miniature of Africa he told me, here you get all in one spot. He is Christian and the only thing he wants to talk about is God. Arriving in Ireland there is a snowchaos, no busses, no information and then after a couple of hours of waiting this young man shows up to help me catch a train instead. There I met this wonderful man (he looked like Michael Caine!) an attentive quaker, and we talk about the unity in Christ. Finally arriving in Wexford there are no cabs, the police did close down the county. A man from Rumania on his way to Dublin, dressed in summer cloth, freezing to bones, becomes our guest for a night before he can continue his journey the day after.
A loving husband opening his arms like never before. :-)

In deep gratitude and with a never ending hug to all of you <3

Sexual secrets poem

We hide secrets and fears
And pretend we have no tears
We push deep and deep inside
The personal emotional sexual tides

From years of private neglect
We just cannot allow ourselves to connect
The fears of talk out loud about anything sexual
Makes the deep hidden secrets more actual

Years pass and we pretend our needs are being met
Not allowing ourselves to look within at our deep, deep upset
Why do we not talk about our sexual secrets
It is because we kid ourselves our relationship we cannot forfeit

Alone in the dark we yearn for that closeness
We pull the illusion of the mask into deluded blankness
Who can we talk to without revealing the truth
Yet pretending the real need to heal is the ultimate false personal sleuth

Do we disrespect ourselves so much that we hid in the movie
We crave the illusion of love, hiding, the ultimate price is too costly
Enough we say, release the controlling fears and talk from a point of love
Allowing the Holy Spirit to flow through from above

The truth, authenticity and openness revealed
Saying we respect each other and being open for all to be healed
That true closeness and bonding powerfully emerges
Allowing love and joy to encompass all loose edges

Yes we cry inwardly and outwardly, eyes slightly bleary,
At long last the secrets are open, eyes are now seeing clearly
Calm eyes and heart open to love and connection
It was the release of that tightly held fear of rejection

We now realize true love is the pathway
Joining with Holy Spirit to enter the gateway
After years of hiding and suppression
Now is the time of true expression

– Claire

Claires poem

for my departing moment in the chair saying farewell I read out this poem
how I felt in the devotional
an amazing time and now shifting around in my new DNA
with love to everyone and such thanks and gratitude to you all
I love you all Claire xx

There are days
Where Holy Spirit shows me ways
To be patient and happy
Yet the ego attaches and I feel crappy

Daily I feel my emotions
Asking Holy Spirit to help the internal commotions
I can have daily fears
Which often lead to tears

The hidden emotions emerge from dark valleys
Inside the Matrix body of valleys
I tunnel and find the golden depths
And then I realize I have new breaths

The roller coaster of push and pull
Makes the element of trust lull
And yet it lies beneath simmering
Yet again I feel my eyes start brimming

The tears roll down my cheeks
My throat constricts
I gulp the tender breath
Pause, even one second, is enough length

My eyes feel clean
My body feels it can dream
My peace of mind achieved
My illusions gone and I am relieved

Where does the  journey start
I ask myself as I stand apart
I see people around me
Yet I still cannot see

Each and every day
The ego gets in my way
I strive and ponder endlessly
Yet seem to be slow finding my key

No private thoughts, no past
No future, how do I make my purpose last?
I remember to pause, and pause
Then pray this helps my cause

Remember there is never a conclusion
So to remind my thoughts, please no collusion
Keep the pain and fear at bay
As I journey along David’s way

I joyfully join with Mighty Companions
As my ego and body are screaming abandon
Whispering stay with me ‘we know the way’
Why choose another pathway

I take a deep breath, pause
And smile inwardly knowing my cause
Release me from being hostage
Accepting perception to knowledge

The questions pour out
And daily I feel the doubt
Constantly I fight the illusion
Then some days it infuses such confusion

When I feel that way
I pause, I wait, I say
Both inside and out
Dear Holy Spirit I have no doubt

My trust is high
I wave the fears goodbye
I smile with relief
As I realise Holy Spirit is my belief

Peace of mind is my goal
I cry deep from my soul
Peace of mind seems far away
I look deep within each day

I spend time in meditation
Convincing myself of true dedication
I spend time in the illusion of ego
Convincing myself the fears will go

Trust and love become clear
Mighty Companions join and I know how to hear
Trust and love unveil the way to peace of mind
Mighty companions are all working towards my peace of mind

I sit and silently make myself pause
The movie of my illusions are the cause
I go deep within
Calling upon the Holy Spirit to begin

I sit and wait for the gentle light to enter
Then I realize I have ruthless internal banter
Round and round the voice can travel
Getting louder and stronger in their babble

My fears are racing through my heart
I feel my body committing to fall apart
My throat constricts
I feel my voice restrict

The Course of Miracles for me seemed the way
Yet David Hoffmeister gently shows another way
The Course in Miracles can show me the path
Yet David Hoffmeister’s devotions blows open the path

Pause, I cry inside and out
I really want to loudly shout
Pause and gain my gift of freedom
I really want that message to help me enter the kingdom

Prayer

Hello my sweet companions.

Today is my first day of work. It’s going to be interesting and different. Since I’ve been back to Park City, I’ve been catching up on my sleep and I’ve been very quiet inside. The best way to describe the feeling I have is that I’m fragile and delicate. The ego has entered in full force over the past several days. KJ and I have been in contact which is great. We have expressed our fears and tears and joys. I feel he will make travel plans for February this week.

I never thought I’d say this, but I don’t want to be in the ‘world’. I feel I want to live the devotional life around mighty companions for forever. I was very emotional last night and was feeling I wanted to be with KJ more than anything. Meaning… move to Norway and live a devoted life with him. I didn’t express this to him, but I told HS that’s what I wanted because working at a ski resort may sound wonderful, but what I just left was way more wonderful.

I trust that God brought him into more life for a purpose and not just for 8 days. I have to also trust that he will continue to open the doors and I’ll walk through them gracefully.

I love you so much. Thank you for being there for me and your support and authentic love. I look forward to seeing you again here in Utah.

Much love,

Melissa

p.s.

KJ is doing the lessons with me, we are on 18.

The presence of peace

Hello!!

Well I made it to Louisiana and it was an amazing journey. I had a 4 hour layover in Madrid and when I was getting on the plane I found out that there were only 18 passengers (and Delta gave me another credit voucher!!!!), so… we had the whole plane to ourselves. There were several in first class, and five of us in coach. You would have thought that with all the room we would have spread out, but all five of us naturally sat right behind first class. It was obvious no one wanted to be alone. I felt my mighty companions were there beside me and it was comforting.

Yesterday was a wonderful day with my family. It was calming, and they all could feel the presence of peace with me. I felt it. I checked in many times yesterday when I felt the conversations were meaningless… and was able to maintain the peace of God.

I have thought of KJ much since I left especially the moment I’ve woken up since gone from Spain, and have tried not to project into the future and stay in the moment. It has been easier than I thought having the course on my iPod and the tools I left Mallorca with. Meeting KJ was a miraculous experience, and I trust that my assignment with him is not over. I am accepting though to whatever the HS has in store for me.

Thanks again for everything. I had the most amazing time and will/want to live a devotional life for the rest of my life. A new life has begun and I am ready to soar and shine the light.

I start work on Monday and will be moving as planned with Katrina. Snow awaits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a feeling I may get some skiing in this weekend! ;)

Much love and if you get this… tell everyone I said hello and I LOVE THEM!

Melissa
