Haiti
Someone asked a question about Haiti on our ACIM Practical Application YahooGroup.
The following was my response:
For me, I look at it this way. Yes, ACIM says that the world is an illusion, yet, I don’t really experience it as an illusion. I’m typing this for example. If it was an illusion then I would have no need, right?
With Haiti, I can hold the truth for everyone, yet I can be compassionate and I accept what is triggering me about what occurred and offer that to Holy Spirit. In offering it to Holy Spirit, I can then ask Him how would He guide me to respond. Would I respond? Would I send money? Would I go there if I was in the medical profession? Would I do nothing in “form” but pray in truth?
In everything for me, it is stepping back and working with the Holy Spirit.
After leaving my yoga class just now I saw this on a church sign:
Revealing the Feeling is the Beginning of Healing.
I loved that statement because it is so true. It’s not that I pretend that I do not see the suffering in Haiti. It is that if I am not at peace at what is occurring that I reveal that to the Holy Spirit. I do not hide what I am feeling from His sight. I share with Him, accepting it as what is occurring now and then the miracle can occur.
So bottom line for me, I join with HS in EVERYTHING.
Love,
Rev Deb
Rev. Paul and I also shared a little about Haiti during our Sunday Service this morning, the audio podcast should be available within the next 24 hours.
