As I am working through the book, “A Course in Miracles,” I am at the section where the writing introduces the mantra of “I am not a body, I am free. I am still as God created me.” As I do my reading and then incorporate this mantra with the words and thoughts of the day, I have discovered that this actually is true! - And that truth is so freeing because it allows me, for the first time that I can recall, to experience fearlessness. Within this process of my own “Miracle”, I have come to understand the knowing that I am really not a body at all; I am actually a spirit. As such, I am beginning to understand that God created me as a spark of light and love as an expression of His own likeness, and that light, my light, is eternal…As it turns out, my body is just along for the ride.

These are my favorite pair of jean shorts, or at least I’ve thought that for over 25 years. I purchased these shorts for probably less than 20 dollars. I don’t really recall but I know they weren’t expensive. They’ve been with me since my early 30’s and have defined me since the day that I brought them home. What you see is just a simple picture of a pair of shorts. For me, these shorts have been so much more – they have over the years set the stage for how I feel about myself. They have been the corner stone of my self worth in the most simplest of forms, in the most basic of measurement.
My father was the first teacher I had who shared with me just how powerful our intentions can be. I’d understood intention on a basic level, however my father’s story about how the power of intention had worked for him in attaining something that he dreamed into fruition was powerful was example and one I wanted to explore further. My father’s experience was a living example of how he, through intention, had made his dream into his reality. It would be years before he could put some definition around what he’d experienced so unwittingly as a young kid. It wouldn’t be until he was in his 40’s a book when he first came across a book written by John K. Williams titled “The Knack of Using your Subconscious Mind.” This book, for the first time, put a definition to his experience that day. It was the first time that he understood that what had happened happened because he had held an intention with such belief that his subconscious mind had made it so.
Often when we are in the midst of change, we fail to see how far we’ve come because we don’t see the hard evidence of our efforts or beliefs in effecting an outcome. Change can often be so subtle, a shift over time that we don’t see it until all at once, we do. In my office I have a small lemon tree. I inherited this little tree from my daughter who was in a competition with her Dad as to who could most successfully grow a tree from the seeds of an Italian lemon that they’d used for lemon picatta one night at dinner. Her father, Paul, has an uncanny knack for growing just about anything to monstrous proportions so it was almost a win/loose right out of the gate. As Paul’s lemon seed seemed to burst from the ground at a speed almost recognizable by the naked eye, Kaitlyn’s little seed took quite some time to forage from the earth below.
