Pain is such a teacher.  And it’s a teacher I’m not interested in learning with anymore.  

There are all kinds of pain, and I don’t wish to experience any of them anymore.  I feel complete with what pain has to offer.  

As an A Course in Miracles student, I know that “pain is a wrong perspective,” as it says in lesson 190 which is “I choose the joy of God instead of pain.” 

In ACIM, Jesus tells us we can learn through pain or through Joy.  Joyful learning is when we remember the truth through a realization.  It means we’re coming back into our right mind.

We can actually give up anticipating pain.  Let’s do that.  Let’s agree that pain is not part of our future.

I’m for a pain-free life, a life of learning through joy.  

I experience a minor amount of physical pain, and rarely experience emotional or mental pain anymore – but they used to be pretty steady.  This is what compels me to share what I’m discovering and learning about what’s possible for us.

I believe we can all be shining examples of joyful learners!

If you absolutely knew that Spirit could transform your perspective your pain and suffering to Peace and Prosperity, but it would take two to five years, depending upon your willingness, would you delay?  

Would you decide to get on with it.

What would you start to do differently?  

When I had so much pain in my life, one of my constant thoughts was, that I had SO FAR TO GO.  I wish I had known then, that I didn’t have ANYWHERE as far to go as I thought I did.  I did the biggest part of my transformation in two years.  TWO YEARS!!  This is why my programs are in depth, and Masterful Living is a full year, with the ability to continue on for many years.  My programs are designed to support folks so they keep going and don’t give up.

Had I been able to comprehend how much faster I could reach a place of mostly Peace and happiness, I would have stopped delaying and gotten on with it decades sooner.  I just didn’t know.

This is really a big part of why I write this daily shot of Spiritual Espresso each day, and why I record a new prayer each day, because we can get there so much faster than we think.  Knowing this helps us get to the place of Peace faster!  

This blog is part of my spiritual practice and demonstration of willingness to “go the other way.”

ACIM also says that our willingness is all that’s required.  What helped me to really increase my willingness was to start saying these affirmations:

I am willing to be all-in for Love.

I am doing it now.

God is working through me now.

Healing is happening now.

I accept and allow my healing with my whole heart.

Thank you Spirit for my healing!
