Nothing (not even my ego) can separate me from God's Love

Poor ol' demonized ego - vital as long as we are here on earth in our body (also demonized in ACIM). What we need to do is to be aware of our ego, and make sure it is not out of balance. If it is too strong or too weak, it is because we think we are separated from God's Love. "There is nothing in me that can separate me from God's Love." I studied with Dr. Bill Thetford, and got much from ACIM. Dr. Bill was the most free man I have ever met, and when he heard our group complain about certain sections of ACIM, he told us to "tear out those pages - they are just concepts! Word cannot express the true experience of blissful freedom." Dr. Bill was really the true scribe of ACIM. Helen did not like what she was CHANNELING, however, Bill made sure her words were recorded and typed into the Course Books. He died a free man dropping his body on a waterfront st. in beautiful Tiburon Ca., after telling a friend, he had "never felt so free. " I was working with Dr. Jerry Jampolsky nearby at the Center for Attitudinal Healing for life-threatened Children. I created the first Young Adult Group as some ot the "children" had survived to be teenage hood and wanted their own group! Dr.Jerry's  Principles were derived from ACIM without any mention of the ego and the body! thank goodness!

The 12 Principles of Attitudinal Healing

1. The essence of our being is love.
2. Health is inner peace. Healing is letting go of fear.
3. Giving and receiving are the same.
4. We can let go of the past and of the future.
5. Now is the only time there is and each instant is for giving.
6. We can learn to love ourselves and others by forgiving rather than judging.
7. We can become love finders rather than fault finders.
8. We can choose and direct ourselves to be peaceful inside regardless of what is happening outside.
9. We are students and teachers to each other.
10. We can focus on the whole of life rather than the fragments.
11. Since love is eternal, change need not be viewed as fearful.
12. We can always perceive ourselves and others as extending love or giving a call for help.
Attitudinal Healing affirms that we are responsible for our thoughts and whatever feelings we experience. Attitudinal Healing encourages us to reexamine our relationships, bringing them into the present by releasing past judgments and grievances. Attitudinal Healing is based on the belief that all communication is for joining and not separation.

Ra and I agree with Ron Anderson and that nothing in us can separate us from God's Love and that includes the "ego"! "There is nothing in us that is junk!"

Ron Anderson

Love is acknowledgement of the truth of our being and the being of all others. Love is always guided and directed from our soul. Never is there anything in our life that does not support our soul's growth. Every situation upon earth is an opportunity to respect and honor our soul and bring more love into our life. When we truly understand this and act upon it with sustained love, the world will be changed forever.

Cheryl Lynn hard concept for many to grasp .... i always say when i see someone or hear someone say they're not perfect that they absolutely are ... the Creator doesn't make mistakes .... ever .... if we could only see and know our own perfection it would be so much easier to see other's <3 span=""> ...thank you Ron for sharing love and wisdom every day :) <3 span="">

 

Ron Alexander I am so grateful Cheryl Lynn for affirming my truth! So many are so invested in our "ego" being our "inner devil"!

Cheryl Lynn yes they are and that causes a conflict for me as it is a part of me and so i have to dislike part of me to connect to the part that's all love .... has never made sense .... and so i now just try to be mindful of my thoughts and change them when i find myself replaying old recordings that don't serve me anymore :)
