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...

Sonrise

joy is invulnerable
because it holds no guilt

purity begets purity

innocence, innocence

where is the error in Joy?

i can't find it

i looked everywhere i could think of

but it's all the same

sparkling
clean
so healing
brand new in every moment
always giving more and more and more Joy

i can only find more Joy
when i look at Joy

i see only this great big mirror
filled and overflowing
with more Joy

the Son
has risen....


bowing to Joy

suffering is focused on what isn't

suffering is denial
of what is

it is imaginary

Joy is focusing on what is

there is nothing my holiness cannot do
because there is nothing my wholeness lacks

Substance is

Substance can't be abused
changed
misused
overused
underused
in anyway

Substance is substantial, not inconsequential

Substance is Spirit
unshakeable
unrockable
the foundation
on which all rests

held safely
no possibility of demolition

the ego's hacking is but a dream
it touches nothing
makes no dent
not even a scratch

what could we possibly find in Joy
to attack?

who would not worship Joy
(instead of sin/lack)?

who would not prefer
to give up all other ideas
in place of Joy?

today we bow
to Joy

we let Joy reign
supreme

in all situations
thoughts
people
horizons

we let Joy
dawn
upon all the world

denial

without addiction
without shooting up
without denial.....

all is love

denial
is the cause
of all pain
addictive thoughts
and behavior

when we stop denying
what is there
we will see it

there's nothing we can do
to make ourselves
more loving

or treat others more loving

or be healthier

there's nothing we need to do

simply stop
denying
you are God

accept
the Truth

let it be
now
and
we are free....

shooting up

last night watching Eckhardt Tolle on youtube

i got crystal clarity

of what i had done....

laying in bed
arguing with reality
i was frustrated because
i thought
something wasn't happening
that i thought i wanted

i was basically shooting up
my own poison

i was literally injecting venom
into my system

even science will support this:
stressful thoughts
produce harmful chemicals
in our bodies

in the control panel of my mind
i was choosing
to believe
something should be different

wishing for an impossible situation

i felt the "high" of the ego
the rush
of frustration

i internally
raged war
against what was....

i shot up

my old habit
continued

an addiction
reinforces itself

completely asleep
i thought someone else was involved

Eckhardt brought clarity

the problem/situation/conflict was completely internal
(even though i've heard this a thousand times before,
somehow i just got it in such a more powerful detached way...)

it had nothing to do with anyone else

it was only an old drug addict wanting another high,
another escape,
refusing to take responsibility for his life,
for his happiness
just like a junkie...
the ego is always desperate for a fix

it can't exist without pain
it is addicted to it

i saw the addict, this time, as separate from myself

i came completely clean

thank you God
for clarity

i would no longer support
my ego's habit

i would no longer support
my ego's preference for hallucination
in place of Reality...

i would no longer
argue
with
what is

joy of seeing

space
sees
all things

just sees them
and laughs with joy

there is no need to own

for it marvels
at all miracles

and knows not one
as more miraculous than another

how could it be possible
that God
is lacking
anywhere
in
Himself?


invisible reflection

today i focus on the space
around all things

the pause
that seems to be
between

letters
words
spoken
or written
space between lips
between lovers
between enemies
between seconds
years
and me
and
you

between thoughts
and sofa cushions

today i see space
not as emptiness
but fullness
as a holder

i see it's everywhereness

it surrounds and touches
and embraces all things
so perfectly
right where they are

i see the grandeur of space
the majesty
the openness
and freedom

and i love it

i see that space
is also a mirror
of me

infinite
formless
completely free
weightless
effortless
being

so grateful
to see
my
invisibility

the window

there is a window now
to the other side

it is called Defenselessness

it is perfectly clear

there is no obstruction

it is the place

where i am not holding up the wall

how light i would feel if i would drop all of it...

every single thought!


have you ever dragged something really heavy
til you ached all over
and could hardly stand up?

and when you finally dropped it

you felt lighter than air!

your arms literally lifted up to the sky
of their own accord!

and you really felt
light as a feather?

this is the weightlessness of Defenselessness

laying everything down
there is nothing left

between
me

and

God


life/joy is
effortless


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.
