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...

house of joy

there is but one house where real shelter and safety can be found

it is the house founded on joy
on defenselessness
on purity

where no tiny impurity exists
as cause of possible destruction
and deconstruction

this house is all strength

this house is invulnerable
for Joy has no enemies,
no termites
no mold
no cracks 
where anything else could enter

Joy is whole
there is no obscure place of weakness or doubt

Joy comes from the eternal
a constant state

bigger than life

it dwarfs everything we ever thought we knew

Oh Joy
Oh Joy
Oh Joy

one word
one thought

flight!

desire

"truth is restored to you through your desire..." (t441)
to see something different

something wholly harmless

to see yourself without your story
without your projection upon it
without your self concept
without any ideas of your own
any possibilities of attack
because lack, sadness, danger, threat      only are part of the concept of attack

Love    is   so   far                     from attack


love is so very very very far

from the concept of attack
be with this

love, enthusiasm, passion
is ALWAYS FOR EVERYTHING

it rejoices to see itself

this is what being in love is

this is what is really going on all the time
without the concept of attack


put your concepts away!
question them!

would you not see now
that everywhere you look
and think upon
is in love with you!
and you with it!

this
is the ultimate relationship we are all looking for
and it is ours now

thank you, Love
for this truth
that sets us free from self-made concepts

coward

inadequacy 
is a lie
cowards tell themselves

so we don't have to try
so we don't find out the truth

where is the proof?

can you be absolutely certain
that you are inadequate?

how would you know?

you just keep telling yourself this...
you've never really tried

you've never given all you have
you've never given yourself to anything wholly

you've never surrendered your life
your personality
your self concept
you've never given up your beliefs about yourself
you've never thrown it all to the wind
you've never yet  wildly abandoned yourself to God
you've never really let everything fall away 
and be subordinate to faith
and just given yourself completely to 
this big idea that is bigger than you

you are still holding on for the dear life of your personality


forget your crap
your gifts are not yours to hide

you don't belong to you
you are part of the whole
you belong to everyone
your gifts are for them

what about all those loving hearts
that are just waiting to light up as they receive your gifts?

it cannot be that life itself is incapable of
expressing itself fully

what if you made a fool of yourself?
what if you failed?

no one can fail 
who goes 100% with her heart

this is life
in this moment

this is living

anything else is death
anything less is failure

we are not looking for "results"
we have no other motive 
but to be true to our deepest Love

to be honest
to live totally honestly
our actions totally consistent with our thought

we can't hang onto the ground and fly!!!

we must let go completely

we must look up
and quit looking at the ground
if we want to fly

quit the reruns
it's time for the real thing!

God's love

in absolute silence
absolute stillness

is all freedom

only here do none of my creations exist
only here is truth allowed to be whole

what is this
but total defenselessness?

i offer my whole world to God
all of it!
every scrap
every tiny detail
everything i think i need for my happiness

i am wrong
i do not know
i have no needs!!!!

body eyes see bodies

body eyes don't know what anything is 

what is love?     i don't know
what is friendship?   i don't know
what is family? i don't know

 body concepts cannot hold
what is bigger than they are

Truth is outside of our conception!!!

they all must go

the rubber bands,
no matter how elastic they are,
are binding us to something smaller than infinity

There is no love, but God's (L127)
and there is nothing else at all!
(anything else
is
false
impression....:-)))

laughter

be not attached to the mirror!

be not attached to the mirror!

be not attached to the mirror!

an idol is the false impression that your happiness is coming 
from outside yourself (t620)

and we don't recognize we are believing this

your partner is everyone everywhere

an individual going
 is replaced by another
there is no leaving

mirrors are interchangeable

always your reflection remains
because you exist

everyone is here for you

ultimately for your joy to be reflected back to you
that your joy may ever increase

playfulness brings playfulness with her:-)))))

it doesn't matter the situation
the people
the time
the place

the twinkle remains
seriousness holds no attraction

joy and play are to be found everywhere
surprises of joy
the adventure of self recovery
and self discovery

the golden laughter so long ago buried
is now washed ashore

gleaming in the sun

the ego ship wrecked and sunk
discarded in the storm

now is Home
Truth
Joy
beyond measure

the final frontier
but the ecstatic return to our Origin

trick of the mind

believing a thought
our mind builds its case

against truth
against our nature
against God
against our happiness
against all costs
against all supporting facts for you

deep deep deep within 

remains
the steady

deep below the motion
deep below the action

before the thought 
before the thought
before the thought

BEING
remains

the perfect stillness
no motion here

all thinking is a story

i give away my tickets to the show

Father...

silence

makes the heart grow fonder


in silence

is love revealed


in silence

the radio off


the rush is felt



minus projection

without projection  go there for a moment, go there.....for as long as you can....this is the most loving thing you can ever do ....for yourself ....for your best friend...for your family... for every problem you can possibly think of...for God...................)

would my mind be so free

so in love with Itself

nothing evil within
nothing evil without

who would i be without projection?

so safe
so holy
so guiltless

feeling no attack toward another

infinite in scope
having no blocks at all

today i smile at my projections

they are demystified

and not taking them seriously 


 only the joy of Innocence
is offered
 to myself
and the world


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.
