The Healing Power of Writing

Hi! Welcome to the Joy of Miracles.

To write is to uncover, to unhide, to bring to light, and express what is within. To share is the end of all private thoughts, all shame, all guilt, all pain and separation. Here is all Joy found at last! Writing helps us to repeat, focus, choose, and remember ideas. The purpose of this writing is healing for all of us.

This blog is inspired by "A Course in Miracles"and The Work of Byron Katie. You are invited to share your comments by clicking on the word "comment" at the end of each post. If you scroll way down there's a little info about me and also an archive of past writing you can view by clicking on the title. Thanks so much for visiting...

outrageous love

the immensity of defense struck me today

the image in my mind of spending gazillions of dollars
to kill people
to lock them up 
to lock ALL OUR THINGS up

and we call it/think of it as SECURITY/SAFETY


ALL OUR TIME IS SPENT TRYING TO PROTECT OURSELVES from each other

holy shit!!!!
no wonder we have relationship "problems".....

of course if we hate each other, we have a "problem" loving each other...
it doesn't even make sense to say it.....


this is our mind!!!!!!

my mind!!!

i own it!!!


i see it!


we have taken the most dangerous drug ever: 
FEAR

and are overcome by complete PARANOIA...


we see it
we see it
we SEE IT!!!!

Hurray!!!
good news at last!!!


that means we have been given help


what in the hell do i do now?@!! that i chose this!!@?

i see that i don't really want this,


what is the most radical thing i can do?
how do i leave this mess behind?

i smile
i am free
i laugh at it
that i ever thought this could possibly bring me happiness

i call up my dear innocent holy friend
and i tell her my latest ego drama

and we LAUGH AND LAUGH AND LAUGH OUR HEADS OFF!!!
 we are free!!!!!!!!

Holy Spirit help me to see the HUMOR in this????

we haven't put Funny in a straightjacket like we have Love.
Sometime we think of Love as "serious".....

Heavens, no!

so we go with funny!

Holy Humor!

Tell a joke!
it's universal!
it's a radical new way of seeing a situation

we watch the drama with a Friend
and see that it is really a ridiculous comedy!


the gazillion dollars spent on killing people in the name of our safety
represents how much we hate ourselves--it is but the attack we have on our Self.
It's an image of how much we are in denial of God!


So today we opt out
we don't buy it


instead we give ourselves some Outrageous Love!!!
that's just another name for Truth/God/Reality

and we laugh as we never have before.......

love to each and everyone of you,
Joy

About Me

My photo
I have been a student of A Course in Miracles since 1986. It has helped me tremendously to be a happier person by helping me change my perception of everything. I have found writing to be very helpful in the process of practicing, experiencing, and living the ideas in the Course. In 2006 I started sharing inspiration from the Course with a friend. Now it is a joy to share it with everyone. In 2009, The Work of Byron Katie found me at a woman's group. The Work is a way to identify and question your stressfuI beliefs. I dove right in and in April 2013 became a Certified Facilitator of The Work of Byron Katie. I work with people privately and offer online classes. Please visit www.joyofthework.com for more information. I also still occasionally lead the 11am Sunday Gathering at the Rocky Mountain Miracles Center in Denver.
