“I think I’m having an ah ah moment but would like clarity.  I think I’ve been angry practically my whole life not seeing it as anger.  I saw it as sadness or sorrow, being unhappy because of many things that happened to and and how allowed some things to happen to me, or didn’t see it.
I would get sad and suddenly cry and felt sorry for myself a lot.  As I began to grow up I stopped crying and being outwardly sad but I was still sad and angry.  The people that I believe wronged me don’t move me anymore.  When I think of them or past situations, I don’t’ feel angry or sad now.  Does this mean I have forgiven?”  M.D.  – Long Beach, Ca

Hello M.D.,
I feel you have been given great insight by the “Teacher” as you have applied the lessons from the Course now for some time.  Not only have you been reading the text from the Course but in our talking you have heard Him speak through me to you concerning your life matters for some time now.      Apparently, the “miracle” is at work in your life in meaningful ways.  Your story is a testimony or evidence of the “shift in perception” that is occurring in regards  to the long standing sadness that morphed into deep sorrow in your past.  I remember these times in your life.

    I rejoice in your healing… that now comes through your decision to accept forgiveness — which is “a shift in perception” – that was facilitated by the Holy Spirit in your mind.  You don’t have a question. That would be a distraction of the ego.  Rather, you have a statement.  “I am healed now from my past state of sadness and sorrow because I now choose peace instead of this.”

The questions and seeking closure from the past have ended.  Hold on to the freedom that comes from forgiveness in the now – and go forth boldly as you let Holy Spirit restore all that was covered by the darkness of sadness and sorrow.  As you continue to rejoice and share your testimony with others through daily actions — you are showing others by demonstration– that Christ is not dead but that He lives in you as the Healer and miracle worker. The miracle is – that you are no longer seeing “what is not there” and you are now seeing only “what is there.”

I am waiting to see the joy from others as you share this testimony with the Wednesday night group.
All praises to God  – in you and through you.  And So It Is.

• Good morning.  It’s a calming feeling to be somewhat on my way to peace of mind. We are making a lot of changes to our house whole.  I found my Course in Miracles at my storage this pass week.  I look forward to participating in the group.  Pat Jones, Atlanta.

Hey Pat, Roland, family and friends,
Sooooo very happy to hear about your commitment to peace.  It’s a great place to be, trust me form one who is dedicated to practicing applying daily lessons in the Course, again.  I am gleaming so much more clarity this time around.

The group is very committed and most seem to be sincere about their participation the the weekly sharing/testimonies is such a joy and it feeds my soul.  Even one sharing about a “shift in perception” – is a phenomenal event for me, as this is what the definition of a miracle is… “a shift in perception.”  

We invite you to participate on this Healing School website –  in comments, questions and sharing your experiences in applying the daily lessons.  Also continue to check the archives for material posted that we use in the weekly meetings.  CD’s from the weekly meetings are available and will be available for downloading, etc. soon.

The meetings at the Downey Church for spiritual living – started on the first Wednesday of this year and I will send you the recordings to date…  in the next day or so.  Thank you for your contribution to the success of this ministry.  Your continued prayers and support in many ways… are so much appreciated.

God’s best – for you – to you – and through you – always – and in all ways.  And So It is.
Ahman

Doreen,

You have asked for more information about the prayer group and specifically about using the method of P.P. Quimby where he instructs his readers to use the “tumbler” (drinking water) with him at a certain time while he “joins with them.”

I have been working on this response almost daily and essentially it has involved reviewing the documents based on the Quimby and Coue… and it just kept getting bigger and bigger.  So I decided to pause… and give you a brief statement to summarize simply what we are doing and invite you to join us.  We will simply keep updating our process.

A few of us have started the very simple method of squeezing a couple of lemons in a quart of more of water… letting it simmer then transfer it to a container for the refrigerator.  Then however you feel motivated… sip it as a hot or warm tea later… use it when you would normally drink water… or use the method that Quimby suggested to the writer… which was to sip it from a glass at a certain time each night… when in your mind… I and others are praying with you and for you.  Of course, Quimby didn’t recommend that his readers add lemons to the water.  You will see this noted in added reference material on lemons.  Further, it is advisable for you to research to see if using lemons might have an effect on present medicines you take, or simply do not use them.

If you think of me as one of your prayer partners… always know that I am sipping from my cup throughout the day and at night.  As I do, I know that others are in prayer with me… and that I am joining (in agreement) with you, knowing that – the Holy Spirit is – correcting error thought – in your mind regarding sickness and any other problem you might be praying about.

Of course, to strengthen your belief, faith and knowledge… it is good to re-read the material about Emile Coue and Quimby from time to time.  It will keep your mind grounded in the spiritual healing principles that we are applying.

Peace.

“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee.”
